Interest in Military Training
Lacking-onIy Seventy-five
Men Sign Up"
NOT ENOUGH FOR ONE UNIT

Interest In the reserve officers train
ing corps at the University Of Pennsyl-
vania appears to have fallen fat and
there is a possibility the corps will be
fdisbanded.
This situation was revealed today
through a plea issued by Colonel Shell
don Anding, commandant of the corps,
who called for the enrolment of at
least twenty five more men.
During the war the strength of the
training corps exceeded 1000 men. But
since the opening of the University term
last Friday only seventy five men have
"signed up" The minimum number
for training corps unit is 100 men.
War Veterans Not Joining
Although the various departments at
the University have many former serv
ice men among the student body, the
veterans are said to be holding aloof
from the corps.
Colonel Anding and his assistant,
First Lieutenant g. White, are comb
ing the campus today for additional
recruits. A report on the units
strength must be forwarded to the War
Department tonight.
officers are astonished that the ad-
vantages offered by the corps are not
attracting more members. Uniform
clothing is furnished free by the gov
ernmeut and the corps members receive
allowances for meals.
Drill Is Abandoned
The study of military theory. rather
than drills, was to be emphasized in
the military course this season. Next
summer the corps cadets were to have
a period at camp, with plenty of rifle
practice.
As a result of the lack of interest
displayed so far in the corps, drill
scheduled for this afternoon on the
campus has been abandoned.
