STATUS OF STUDENTS.
So much Inquiry has been made rela
tive to the statua'of young men affect
ed by tho draft, and who are desirous
of taking advantage of the Students'
Training Course that wo print ver
batim the regulations governing such
cases:
A student enlisted in the Student's
Army Training Corps Is in military
service ot the United States. Be
cause he does not receive pay, he is
classed as on inactive service but n
national emergency tho President
may call him at any time to active
service. Ho Is called to active ser
vice each summer when he attends
camp for six weeks and receives the
pay of a private.
His relation to the draft is as fol
lows: Any student so enlisted, though Ja
tho military service of the United
States, is technically on inactive duty,
and therefore must register after he
has reached draft age and upon notice
by the President. Upon stating on
bis questionnaire that lie is already in
the military service of the 'United'
States, he will be placed automatically
by his local draft board in Class V-D.
as provided by the selective service
regulations. The draft board will not
call him for induction "so long as be
remains a member ot the Student's
Army Training Corps.
In order that the college student
may not even appear to enjoy special
privileges, It is agreed, however, that
When the day arrives on which ac-i'l
cording to his order number ho would
have been drafted, had he not already
volunteered, the fact is reported to
the president of the college, and to the.
commanding officer at the college,
Who in turn reports it to the adjutant ,
general. This is the day of recko-
ing for the college man The presl-
dent of the co lege and the command-,
Ing officer will then report to the ;
chairman of the committee on eruca-!

Immediately to a division at one of the '
camps. Lieut. Col. Ree's, commander
of the entire students corps, has au-
thority to dispose his men In the best
way suited to meet the emergencies '
of tho military and national situation
at the time. The presumption is that,
for the next year, the largest propor
tion of the student body reaching
21 years will be required to supply a
large part of the officers needed for
the national army. It is understood
that at least four or five times i s
many officers will be required as the
total number of students who will

Students' Army Training Corps, there-
fore, while, it does not hold out any
promise of an officer's commission, is
at the present time the plainest road ,
leading in that direction.

day of reckoning comes. Enlistment
is for the duration of the war. If,
however, the student falls to improve
his college opportunities, ho may be
dismissed from college by action ct
tho college authorities and discharged
from military service by tho military
authorities. He would then be sub
ject to the operation of the draft. His
enlistment may bo cancelled for other
sufficient causes, such as sickness,
lack of funds, etc., upon recommenda
tion of the president of the collego
and the military officer In command
at the college.
