TRAIN In COLLEGE
All Students Mhy Do So Next
School Year.
Plan Is Being Worked Out by
War Department.

In order to provide military train
ing for the college students OF the
country during the present emergency
a comprehensive plan will be put IL
effect by the war department begin
ming with the next college year, Sep
TENDER. 1913, the details Of which are
now being worked out by the govern.
ment.
The new policy aims to accomplish
a two-fold purpose: First. to develop
as a great military asset the large
body of young men in the colleges;
and second. to prevent unnecessary
depletion of the colleges thru indis-
criminate volunteering, by offering tc
the students a definite and immediate
military status.
Open to All Schools.
Military instruction under Officers
and non-commissioned officers OF the
army will be provided in every insti.
tuition OF college grade, enrolling fol-
the instruction 100 or more able.
bodied students over 18 years old. The
necessary military equipment will, SC
far as possible, be provided by the
training unit in each institution. En-
listment will be purely voluntary, but
all students over Is years old will be
encouraged to enlist
The enlistment will constitute the
student a member OF the United States
army, liable for active duty at the
call Of the president.
Youths May Enroll.
It will, however, be the policy OF
the government not to call the men,
bers of the training units to active
duty until they are 81 years old, I'M
less urgent military necessity compels
an earlier call. Students under IS
years old, and therefore not eligible
for enlistment, will be encouraged to
enroll in the training units. Provision
will be made for co-ordinating the re-
serve officers training corps system
which exists in about one-third of the
collegiate institutions. with this new
plan.
Presidents Of college institutions
have been urged to call this matter to
the attention of their students, and
those who do not graduate this spring
are urged to continue their education
and take advantage of this new oppor-
tunity to serve the nation.

Mr.. Sullivan's valuable SER

hope to again maintain the
high standard now that he has
returned.
The gentleman returnes in
the same manner that he left,
with a clean record. He brings
with him an honorable dis
charge and certificate Of
faithful and efficient service.
We are glad to state that dur
ing his short period in the
radio branch of the army at
Camp Martin, Tulane Univer-

promoted to sergeant and was
one of 40 men selected from
$50 to go to the officers train
ing camp at Camp Taylor, KY.
Sgt. Sullivan is now back at
his former duties as Linotype
Operator with The Home
News and there were none
more delighted to welcome
him home than his present and
former employer.
