3.040 Students I
Enroll This Term
■ I 1 ;
Approximately 3,040 students
had enrolled at A&M by yester
day afternoon, H. L., Heaton,;
regutrar, announced today.
This figure includes under
graduates, both men and wom
en, and graduate students.
gress last month requires men 18
through 25 to register, although
none can be drafted until reaching
19.
Eighteen-year olds can avoid the
draft by enlisting for one yeay and
then serving for a longer period
in the reserves. Such enlistments
will be accepted starting tomor
row.
Some 4,000 registration places
will be Used, as compared with
120,000 used before World War
II, and 13,000,000 draft and regis-,
tration cards have been prepared.
The first registration is expected
to total 9,600,000, with several
thousand more men to be Jisted
each month after that.
Secretary of the Army Royall
said recently the first call will be
“relatively small” and that later
inductions will be geared to the
number of voluntary enlistments.
- Royall estimated that an aver
age of 30,000 men a month will be
needed.
said Monday morning jthat he
would appear before th^ grand
jury in-Bryan July 28 t<j> request
an investigation of the j expendi
tures of the “big three” candidates
Coke Stevenson ( Lyndon \ Johnson,
and George Peddy.
“I am not acting along in this
move,” Clark said. “I am!support
ed by two other candidates for the
senate—Cycloiie Dav{s and Roscoe
Collier.”
Clark feela that this action is
necessary because the [people of
Texas \have spoken Through the
Beldei/Poll which appeared in Sun
day’s Dallas Morning News. He
stated that the poll revepled that
70 percent of the people interview
ed desired an investigation of the
candidates’ expenditures.

Andrews Praises
School Teachers
At Kiwanis Lunch
High tribute was paid to the
teachers of the public schools of
the land by Dr. W. H. Andrews,
pastor of the First Baptist Church
of Bryari, at the noon luncheon
meeting of the Kiwanis club Tues
day.' . j • .
"The pride of our ^American sys
tem is our free public school,” Dr.
Andrews said. “The debt we owe
to the teachers is incalculable.”
Dr. Andrews was introduced by
Paul Ballance. He said that “we
must have three fundamentals,
strengthening the home, school and
church. We cannot overestimate
the primary object of the home.
“The church," he said, "lives in
side the individual.”
Joe Sorrels, temporary chairman
of the board of trustees to admin
ister the affairs of the Kiwanis
Youth Center, gave a brief resume
of its work and its workings. He
lauded briefly “The Shorthorn” for
its resolution of thanks to the Ki
wanis club for its work with the
youth of the community.
R. Henderson Shuffler, director
of information and college publi
cations, will be_the principal speak
er at the meeting next week.

Revision Planned for Army
Reserve Training Program
i .T]u ; |<3 * ii;
The Department of the Army has just published a
training directive wFjich will affect the Texas Organized
Reserve Corps training for the next three years, Colonel!
Oscar B. Abbott, Senior Instructor for the Organized Re
serves, announced toqay. [ | • j ;■
The highlight of the U3W train-4-
ing directive is the em{)hastizing
of individual basic and technical
training, instead of the higher lev
el subjects which have be^n preva
lent in the last! year. It- was ad
mitted that most Reservists were
reluctant to engage in training
.which was of a level arid nature
similar to that ryhich they\ had ex
perienced beforel and durihg World
War II. U
The Aripy memo statedl that this
attitude must be discouraged, that
proficiency depends on knowledge
and practice and that this principle
applies -from the Division Com
mand level down to the enlisted
members of the gun crew and the
individual rifleman, j
All training from July 1, 1948,
should be actual performance
with the use of sand tables, map
exercises, traihlng; films, and
miniature orfuiizitioit pirob- t
lems. The present system <jf
training by lectures, debates,
round table discussions and the
like, has provoked interest and
stimulated the imagination of
the Reservists.
The plan of the Army iS/ for
three years divided inl[o three
phases. Each unit that is now or
ganized within the Reseifye Corps
will enter immediately [into the
first phase and can proceed into
the following phases oily after
having been inspected ! by the
Fourth Ajrmy inspection team and
allowed/to go on. Units [that can-
tne requiremerits of the
inspection team will be required to
retrain in the phase that they have
just concluded.
: , All enlisted men of the Or-
• ganized Reserves who have had
no previous military experience
will be required to receive basic
training for the whole of theh-
first year in the Reserve unit.
Upon completion of that year,
such men may join the remain
der of the unit in the training
I currently in effect.
Progress of units from one an
nual phase to the next will not
be dependent upon the completion
Of summrir camp. However, sum
mer camp includes the practical
application of the qiaterial cover
ed in the regular monthly Armory
meetings. ‘, ! v •
The number of periods for which
pay may be drawn is still a mat
ter of determination by the De
partment of the Army and will be
based on the annual Organized
/Reserve Corps appropriation that
Congress makes available to the
Army.
