Colleges Enter
transition Period

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.-tUP)-
American colleges and universities
are entering a transition period be-
fore the time arrives when very few
males will attend institutions of
higher learning unless designated
by the armed services.
Student days for mcst civilian
males of military age terminated
or are terminating, with the end
of the first quarter, term, or Sc
mester of the 194G-43 college year
Many schools have completed such
terms and the balance will do SO
within the next few days.
Many college men, realizing this,
are choosing the branch of service
they prefer under the modified en-
listment scheme under selective
service. Those who were members
of the army enlisted reserve, with
certain exceptions, are now being
called. Navy reservistS in college
soon will be called to active duty
under the Navy specialized train
ing program.

Very Successful Foray
Claimed by British
In Northern Waters

LONDON, Jan. 26. (UP)
British Commando forces
have made a very success
ful' raid on the Norwegian
cO2st, it was said authorita-
lively today.
Berlin reported yesterday that
seven British motor torpedo boats
attempted" to penetrate Norweg-
ian coastal waters Sunday night
near Larvik, 70 miles south of Oslo
on the Oslofjord.
This meant that the British had
penetrated the heavilT mined and
heavily defended Skagerrak be-
tween Norway and Denmark.
Berlin said the r.iders were driven
back before they reached the shore
by German coast guns and patrol
boats. Admitting that because of
bad visibility, the result Of the Ger
man fire could not be seen, Berlin
added hopefully that later airplanes
saw only five British boats SO that
1T EuSt be assumed that two Brit
ish boats perished in the attempt" "
InformantS said here that small
combined operations of Commando
raids were being carried out con-
stantly.
The Germans, they said, repeat
ccly sought information on such
operations by broadcasting mislead-
ing reports of them, and that COM
bined operations headquarters had
no intention of helping them by
