/ pleted 13 units in a high school, but
who has completed the educational
equivalent thereof, will be admitted
upon approval of the Credentials
/ Committee.
A. A student entering the Stu
dents Army Training Corps is not
given deferred classification or tenn
porary exemption from service.
B. After he has been registered by
his Local Board he may be volun-
tarily indicted into the S. A. T.. G.
He will be placed on active duty i'm
mediately upon his induction, and will
receive pay of $4,000 per month in
addition to quarters, mess and free
tuition.
c. Officers, uniforms, rifles and
such other equipment as may be
available will be furnished by the
War Department.
d. The student-soldiers will be
given military instruction under Off
GERS of the army and will be kept un-
der observation and test to determine
their qualifications as officer-candi-
dates, and technical experts such as
engineers, chemists and doctors. At
ter a certain period, the men will be
selected according to their perform
ance, and assigned to military duty
| in one of the following ways:
! 1. He may be transferred to a cen.
trail officers training camp.
2. He may be transferred to non.
commissioned officers training school
"a 40 ocfr al L.
school where he is enrolled for fur.
Their intensive work in a special line
for limited specified time.
4. He may be assigned to the vO.
cational training section of the Corps
for technician training of military
value.
5 He may be transferred to a can
Torment for duty with troops as a
private.
E. Similar sorting and reassign-
ment of men will be made at period
cal intervals, as the requirements Of
the service demand It cannot now
be definitely stated how long a par
ticular student will remain at college
This will depend on the requirements
of the mobilization and the age grouI
to which he belongs. In order to
keep the unit at adequate strength
men will be admitted from secondary
schools or transferred from Depot
Brigades as the need may require
Students will ordinarily not be per-
mitted to remain on duty in the col
lege units after the majority of their
fellow citizens of like age have been
called to military service at camp
Exception to this rule will be made
as the needs of the service require it
in the cases of technical and scien-
tific students, who will be assigned
for longer periods for intensive study
in specialized fields.
F. In view of the comparatively
short time during which most of the
student soldiers will remain in col
lege and the exacting military duties
awaiting them, academic instruction
must necessarily be modified along
lines of direct military value. The
War Department will describe or sug.
gest such notifications. The SEIZED
ule of purely military instruction will
not preclude effective academic work
G. Instructions will be given as
follows:
! 1. BY THE MILITARY DEPART
MENT IL hours per week military
training.
