Army has an- nounced a plan called Project AHEAD that enables young people to start college at the same time they enlist in the army. According to local army rep­ resentative SFC Rowland, in­ dividuals who qualify apply to one of over 800 participat­ ing institutions. The college serves as an academic file­ holder. The soldier/student at­ tends classes provided by ac­ credited colleges right on post or near his place of assignment. “In the course of his army career, the individual may at­ tend classes offered by any number of colleges, SFC Rowland said. “His ‘home’ school keeps a record of his credits for review when he returns as a veteran.” An academic advisor at the "home” school assists the in- dividual in developing a pro­ gram of education. i "Project AHEAD is a pro­ gram that benefits everybody involved — the young people, the colleges and the army,” SFC Rowland said. i i I Subscribe to The Mill Gty Enterorise Read it Every Week £3 Jack Sumner Rte. 1, Heppner, Ore. 97836 Phone 676 5364 Participation Fair DETROIT - Thirty-six wo- men from the Detroit Idanha and Mill City areas partici­ pated in the free mobile can­ cer detection clinic held at Detroit City Hall Thursday.
