cal Board Monday relative to his
status. Mr.. Chapman, before the

enlistment and was turned down on
account Of weight. He was finally
drafted and went to Camp Pike as
selectran from st. Mary but
was rejected at the Camp as being
too light in weight. After his re-
lection he obtained employment
with Photographic company near
the Camp and has quite an interest

racks end men, one especially Of
the camp covered with snow. Mr..
Chapman now desires to return to
L. S. u, Baton Rouge, of which he
was formerly student to resume
his studies AS an engineer. Since
his rejection at Camp Pike, Mr..
Chapman applied for enlistment in
special service for the Government

sons as before. Mr.. Chapman's
record is a patriotic one and he can
take up his course at school with the
