Getting Canirlit In Draft Can Be Profitable
'a
If Yon Use Some Foresight And Initiative
P.v

So you are getting caught in the

draft!
This

is a fact that faces thousands
of college men this summer, not a
few of whom will come from this
University.
But the draft can be a fairly profitable proposition for those with
a little foresight and initiative.
In the first place, you don't have
to go into the army at all. At least
many of you con't. There are several other branches of the service
with very attractive offers.
The best on the block and consequently the most
right now is the U. S. Marine Corps'
officer candidate training. Every
graduate unversity man is eligible,
if unmarried and over twenty. The
attraction of this offer is that in
six months you become a second lieutenant with pay at $183 per month.
Length of service is for the duration of the emergency, whereas the
army officially asks only a year.
But there are plenty of indications
that the army isn't going to release
the first crop of draftees at the
end of their year.
COMMISSION
After three months' work the men
who stick with the course are commissioned second lieutenants In the
Marine Reserve. They continue the
training course for three months
more, and if they pass the final tests
they go into active service wi'h
troops for the duration of the emergency.
Lt. Col. Shaler Ladd. Marine liaison officer with the Selective Service
office, gave this correspondent an
impressive description of life on active duty. Unlike the army, which
ships you to the nearest camp, the
Marine Corps scatters its men all
over this hemisphere. About the closest you can get is South Carolina.
The last class was sent to Cuba.
Other possible destinations are Panama, Columbia, several Central
American republics, about half the
islands in the Caribbean, California
and one young officer has got as far
as Honolulu, Colone Ladd reports

However, the school is authorised
for only four hndred men. Six hundred of whom will wait as alternate
candidates for the next class to be
taken In early fall. All of these
men have been deferred by their
draft boards at the request of the
Marine Corps.
NOTE: Colonel Ladd tipped
privately that with the present increase in the Marine enlisted personnel more officers are sure to be
needed than those provided for at
present. He predicted the school
would be opened again next summer, and it was his private advice
that graduates of the class of '4!
should apply right away if they
wish to take advantage of this
offer.
The Navy announces this week
that it is now taking applications
for ensign's training, a course similar to that of the Marines. Service
here is also for the duration of the
emergency.
Students with two years of college behind them, unmarried, over
twenty and under 28 are eligible
shore training
for a
course at the end of which they
will attain an ensign rank and be
shipped to sea. An ensign's pay is
$125 per month clear over room,
board, uniforms, launory, etc.
Most popular and toughest branch
of the Navy is the air service. The
seme requirements are necessary
for this as for ensign training. Applicants spend their first month
learning to fly at Anacostia. If they
pass this successfully they are sent
to either Pensacola or Jacksonville
air bases for flight training. This
course requires a good deal of signalling and navigation besides plenty of
-flying ability and there are wash
for hopeful cadets at every
outs"
step.
At best, however, for those not
interested in the military life these
branches of the service are gambles.
Maybe the emergency will last ten
years and you will be stuck for the
whole of it, while you might get out
of the Army at the end of a year.
Then, again, you may be turned

These courses are available to
men, crafted or enlisted, who have
been in the Army for six months.
A limited quota is taken from the
different branches of the Army, and
applicants must be recommended
by their commanding officers. The
Selective Service Chief said that at
first they were authorized to train
10.000 such officers.
"However, we need 20.000 and I
