in whose behalf commutation of uniform is drawn, and purchases a uniform for
the advanced student with the allowance received. This uniform becomes the

and, as such, is his sole responsibility to maintain and keep. Advanced course V6!

prior to receipt of the Uniform. Refund of this deposit, during the period be-
tween academic years, is governed by the same rules as for the basic student. Ml

Basic Course. The military department offers a two years’ basic course th(

men and sophomores who are citizens of the United States, and who conform ju]
to the physical requirements as prescribed by the Department of Defense for mz
units of the Reserve OfHcers’ Training Corps. Veterans with over ninety days' fu]
active military service are excused from the basic course, which fulfills the A;

mendations for this course will be limited to those students who have mani- tu
fested special interest and demonstrated ability during the basic course, and ` H
who meet other standards, with a view to qualifying for a commission in the `
United States Army Reserve. An advanced course student, who makes and  
maintains a minimum graduation point standing of 2.5 and meets other stand- a
ards, may be designated a Distinguished Military Student which makes him 1 W
eligible to apply for a commission in the Regular Army. A Distinguished   Oi
Military Student may be designated a Distinguished Military Graduate upon I
