Harrison, Mc Minnville navy recruiting officer, in encouraging men awaiting the draft call to investigate the opportunities offered by the naval service. Charles H.

Constance, assistant registrar, an nounced Thursday. To be eligible for this honor, all of the students have maintained above a 2.75 grade aver age or almost a “B” for their work at the University. As juniors these students may take honor courses, the completion, of which, will enable them to graduate with honors. Continuing, Chief Harrison said, “The navy is wholly dependent upon volunteers to furnish its manpower. The army, with all its millions of se lectees, is dependent upon the navy for safe conduct to the combat zones. Therefore the strength of the navy is a determining factor in the opening of a second front.” He pointed out that all naval vol unteers are given the chance to choose their own occupations while in the service.
