UNIVERSITY EXPECTS
LARGE ENROLMENT

Especial TO The Richmond Nirginian,)
charlottesville. Va. Sept. 4.-More
men will enter college this year than
ever before: Previously the per cent
OF high school graduates has been
fifteen: now 1t will probably be. in
some cases. as high as sixty. The
reason Is that the war department has
made arrangements with the colleges
for the training of men in the draft
age. Boys who come to college will
be paid $40 a month by the govern
ment. and their housing. subsistence
and tuition charges will be met. The
time they stay in college will be deter
mined by the war department. but
matricuiation will mean that they will
have far better chances for commits
sions than il they were drafted into
the army and sent to camps. In other
words, boys over eighteen will be in
the army and IL they desire they can
spend the initial period getting col
lege education at the Cove rnment's eX
pense. Consequently it is expected
that all boys who can meet the en-
trance requirements will go to college
and enter the army that way.
The University of Virginia was in
the first group of colleges, in which
the war department established units
of the students army training corps
and has received a full statement
from the committee on education and
special training as 10 The regulations
and conditions governing the corps.
The salient features of this plan are:
Men of draft age. intending to en-
ter college, will register with their To-
cal boards on the date set for regis
tration by the president. After ma
circulation in college. they may apply
for voluntary induction into military
service. This induction will take place
on or about October /. After Undue
ton. they will be privates in the
United States army, on active service
in the S. A. r. c. They will receive
uniform. equipment. pay, subsistence
and housing, and their tuition fees
will be paid by the government from
October / on. The university will en-
ter into. a contract with the war de-
pantment to provide tuition, housing.
and subsistence for the student sol
diers. The young soldiers Will re-
ceive military training under army of
ficers. and Will enter certain courses
as prescribed by the war department.

regular curriculum as the regulations
may permit. The individual student
