Only eight graduate students have enrolled in the University's Air Force R.O.T.C. unit, which was opened this year for the first time since 1945 to non-College men.

Entrance to the two-year advanced course has been officially closed now for several weeks during which classes have been going on. "Qualified students may still have a chance to enter, however, if they apply at Shannon Hall in a hurry," Major E.A. Kremer, assistant professor of Air Science and Tactics, said last night.
