ident Kelley has been cbiiged to or
gantxe four classes for the instruc-

unprecedented event In the history Of

We have just received q notice from
Mr.. Roger H. Molten, Secretary Of
the Colorado College, that the United
States government has authorized ali
colleges to admit to college all men Of
draft age who can present thirteen
entrance units. This will admit stu
dents into the Student Army Training
Corps, in which, as the name sag
gests, they will receive training for
regular army work, Heretofore, COLI
leges have required High School grad
uation with sixteen units for entrance.

many ways. Members Of the s. T. A..
