ASTU Men Scatter Sept.4 After Long Summer Course By JOHN WITTY The main thought in the mind of each ASTU student these days is the imminent furlough. In spite of the various rumors which seem to spring up in all quarters, ev eryone is convinced that the long-awaited vacation is at last about to become an actuality be ginning September 4. , The majority of the men are planning to travel by train, many of them hoping to board trains leaving in the early afternoon of September 4, the last day of classes. According to war department directives, the men are not to be released until 3 p.m., but Major Averill hopes that it will be pos sible to allow those who have res ervations to leave earlier. It is also rumored, though unofficial ly, that the entire unit will be permitted to leave at noon. Those fortunate few who are traveling via the airlines have a Ijttle more to worry about than the hers. The company commander requires a written statement from the airlines office which indicates that to the best of the company’s knowledge, the man involved will be able to complete his trip with in the time allotted. These statements may be pro cured if the soldier can prove that he has reservations both ways. Although the percentage of those in the unit who are plan ning to fly is fairly small, the eastbound planes leaving Port land on September 4, 5, and 6 are filled largely with ASTU men. From all indications, the major ity of the students are going home. Those men who live in eastern states will be unable to make the trip, of course, so any who do not wish to take the fur lough will be allowed the privi lege of three-day passes. Discipline during the seven days will be relaxed and all that is required of those who stay is that they participate in one hour of military training each week day. They will also be encouraged to indulge in physical exercise, but this will not be compulsory. Pre-Meteors Appreciate Their 'Old Man' Cable Co.
