The following statements outline
the general plan under which tho
students Army Training Corps will
operate under the changed condi-
lions produced by the revision OF
the Selective Service Law:
1. All young men. who were plan
ming to 90 to school this fall. should
carry out their plans and do so.
Each should go to the college Of
his choice. matriculate. and enter
as a regular student. He will, OF
course, also register with his local
board on the registration day set
by the President. As soon as pos
sible after registration day, probably
on or about October first, opportuni-
ty will be given for all the regu-
lar enrolled students to be indicted
into the Students Army Training
Corps at the schools where they are
in attendance. Thus the corps will be
organized by voluntary induction
under the Selective Service Act,
instead Of by enlistment as previ-
ously contemplated.
The student. by voluntary induc-
tion, becomes a soldier in the Uni
ted States Army, uniformed, sub
ject to military discipline and with
the pay of a private. They will
simultaneously be placed on full
active duty and contracts will be
made as soon as possible with the
colleges for the housing, subsist-
ence and instruction of the stu
dent soldiers.
2. Officers, uniforms, rifles, and
such other equipment as may be
available will be furnished by the
War Department. as previously an
nounced.
3. The student-soldiers will be
given military instruction under
officers Of the Army and will be
