A new plan allows Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen, aged 18 to 26, inclusive, to enlist in the Air Force Enlisted Reserve and continue their schooling, provided they maintain satisfactory scholas tic standing. All College Men May Enlist for Immediate Service 2. All college students may enlist as privates in the Army Air Forces (unassigned) and serve there un til their turns come for Aviation Cadet training. 3. All college students may enlist in the Air Force Enlisted Reserve and wait until ordered to report for Aviation Cadet training. Upon graduation or withdrawal from college, men will be assigned to active duty at a training center as facilities become available. If the necessity of war demands, the deferred status in the Army Reserve may be terminated at any time by the Secretary of War. The new Army Air Force Enlisted Re serve Plan is part of an over-all Army Enlisted Reserve Corps program shortly to be announced. This program will provide opportunities for college men to enlist in other branches of the Army on a deferred basis and to continue their education through graduation if a satisfactory standard of work is maintained. In case of necessity the Secretary of War shall determine when they may be called to active duty. It Is understood that men so enlisted will have the opportunity of competing for vacancies in officer’s candidate schools. This plan has been approved In the belief that continuance of education will develop capacities for leadership. (Re serve enlistment will not alter regulations regarding established R. O. T. C. plans.) Aviation Cadet at $75 a month, with expenses paid.
