NO EXPANSION IN ROTC, STATES JAY

In spite of the intensive acceleration of work in national defense industries, little if any increase is expected in the ROTC enrollment for 1941-42. The basic courses may be opened to a few more students, but this increase is a result of the course's normal growth rather than present world conditions.

"It is the policy of the Department," said Lt.-Colonel Henry D. Jay, assistant professor of Military Science and Tactics, "to give military training to as many basic course students as possible, but registration in the advanced course is definitely limited by the number of qualified instructors available and the facilities necessary for expansion."

Advance course registration will be restricted to 118 members, the same number as this year. Of these, 76 will be in Military Science 4, and approximately another 45 Sophomores will be selected to continue with Military Science 3. An additional number of second year men will also be permitted to take the third year course, but unlike the regular students, they will be expected to continue at their own expense.

Latest regulations pertaining to the drafting of ROTC Seniors indicate that all graduates may expect to be drafted within sixty days after graduation. Possible deferment may be given to those graduates who can contribute more to the national defense by employment in an essential industry than by active duty.
