Military reserve programs open
to University of Oregon students
now are functioning on a more
widespread basis than ever be
fore, with five branches estab
lished and a sixth under consider
ation by the government. The
five divisions available are the
army enlisted reserve corps, the
army air corps reserve (both fly
ing officer and ground officer
branches), the naval V-l and V-7
reserves (deck and engineer offi
cers’ training), the naval V-5 re
serve (naval flight training), the
marine reserve corps. A coast
guard reserve, now in the tenta
tive stage, may be completely or
ganized by fall, according to Dr.
Carl Kossack, instructor in
mathematics and adviser on the
reserve branches.
All University men under 20
years of age, including freshmen,
have opportunity to enlist in any
one of the five reserves if they
can qualify. At the beginning of
fall term, possibly during fresh
man week, a joint military pro
curement board will visit the
campus to explain the various
programs and to complete enlist
ments.

Get NYA Aid
Although national NYA allot
ments have been cut to $5,000,
000, for 1942-43, one-half the sum
of the previous year, the Uni
versity of Oregon will receive
some of this aid for needy stu
dents, Karl W. Onthank, dean of
personnel, announced this week.
The University campus re
ceived $32,145 last year for 411
students who received work. The
Oregon allotment for 1942-43 has
not yet been set, but it probably
will be a reduction of 50 per cerd^
Dean Onthank said.
Work through NYA is limited
to students who “without that as
sistance cannot otherwise attend
college.’’ Despite cuts, it is pre
dicted that additional campus
jobs will be available to accom
modate all those who want work.

Students who enlist in the
army enlisted reserve corps will

and seniors need not be in ad
vanced military to enlist in the
