the reserve counts toward pay
and retirement benefits." There

reserve at the same time he was j
serving in the ROTC. would In

advantage of this program.

active duty (to first lieutenant
three yearn, $335 per month)
totals approximately $140 addi
tional pay per month.
While three years of reserve
service would offer the maximum
pay benefits, Capt. Lipprnan
points out that any amount of
reserve service, one or two years,
still offers benefits that make
the time spent in the reserve well
worth the effort.
An Army reservist attends
meetings twice a month for a
total of 24 meetings a year. He
gets a full days pay for each two
hour training assembly attended.
This ranges from $2.60 for the
recruit to $7 13 for a master ser
geant with four yeurs of service.
Vmy reservists are expected
to attend a two week summer
carnp each year except the sum
mer they attend ROTC camp. (A
college student joining the Army
reserve in September of his jun
ior year would attend ROTC
summer camp the following sum
mer, and. if he went right into
active duty upon graduation,
would miss reserve summer camp
completely.»
College students who live out
of the Eugene area during the
summer may either transfer their
reserva affiliation to a more con
veniently located unit or may
take an extended leave from the
Eugene unit.
For students interested in the
Reserve program, C'apt. Lipp
mann points to the new oppor
tunities opening in April when
the reserve activitates its first
new Lane county unit in two
years.
Twenty-one non-commissioned
officer openings will be made
available to Eugene area men.

anyone showing capabilities may
fill the position and work into
into the rank.

pany at its first organizational

'/rt TOASTED"
So fasfe. Better!
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, you’ll get more pleasure from
your cigarette if it’s a Lucky Strike. That’s the point of the
Droodle above, titled: Three deep-sea divers enjoying Luckies.
You get deep-down smoking enjoyment from Luckies because
they taste better. Why do they taste better? That’s easy to
fathom. First of all, Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then,
that tobacco is toasted to taste better. “It's roasted”—the
famous Lucky Strike process—tones up Luckies’ light, mild,
good-tasting tobacco to make it taste even better... cleaner,
fresher, smoother. So, when it’s light-up time, light up the
better-tasting cigarette . . . Lucky Strike.
