Relation To Draft.
{ Members OF the Students Army
Training Corps, having already been
indicted into the service. will not
come under the operation of the Selec-
tive Service Law. II is expected that
the members of Collegiate Sections
will be transferred from institutions
every three months in age-groups, the
+ twenty-year-old men going first, the
lnineteen-year-old men going next, and
the eighteen-year-old men last, rough
ly corresponding to the period at
which men of these ages will be called
under the Selective Service Law. As
these groups leave the colleges their
places will be taken by new contin-
gents obtained by individual induction
or, If necessary, in depot brigades.
Students of such subjects as engi-
nering. chemistry and medicine may
! be required to finish their courses
where the needs of the service make
this desirable.
j Members of Vocational Sections will
ordinarily remain at the institutions
for two months and will then be as
signed to various branches of the
service in which technicians are
needed.
1t is impossible to say absolutely
how long the training of any particu-
lar man will continue since this will
depend upon the capacity of the indi-
yidual and upon the changing needs
of the service.
Curricula: In addition TO IL hours
/ per week of military training the
course of study of the men in the Col
/ legiate Section of the Students Army
Training Corps will consist of the
ordinary college or technical courses
grouped and modified in such ways as
are necessary to meet the neds of the
l War Department. Students in colleges
of Liberal Arts will have as much free
election as it is possible to give them.
Technical students will have an in
tensive course mapped out for them by
their institution following directions
from the War Department
Members of Vocational Sections will
pursue such subjects as auto-driving
auto-repair, bench woodwork, sheet
metal work and electrical work, ETC.,
in addition to 1874 hours per week of
military training.
Members of both sections will at
tend courses on the Issues of the War.
Admission Requirements.
Registrars who have a grammar
school education or equivalent trade
experience are eligible for Vocational
Sections. These sections will for the
present be recruited mainly from spe-
cially selected men requisitioned from
the depot brigades. Eligible regis
trants may later be indicted into
these sections, either by special calls
issued to the Local Boards, or by in
dividual voluntary induction upon APP
plication to the Committee in Wash
ington
Registrars who are graduates of
standard four-year secondary schools
or have equivalent educational quail
fications are eligible for Collegiate
Sections; and will until October Is
be indicted at the institutions to
which they secure admission. The adj
mission requirements into the col
leges, and hence into the Students
Army Training Corps, have been left
substantially as they were. Young
men seeking information as to how to
join Collegiate Unit of the Corps
should apply not to the War Depart
ment, but to the Dean or Registrar of
the college of their choice.
Only registrants, physically quail
fed for general or limited service. are
eligible for the Students Army Train
ing Corps. Registrars prior to Sep
TENDER IL, 1918, of Glass /, Group A

ice), are ineligible for induction into
Collegiate Sections. Physical exami-
nations of applicants from civil life
will ordinarily be conducted in the
case of members of Vocational Sec
tions, at the Local Boards; in the
cases of members of Collegiate Sec
lions, at the institutions at which they
enroll.
