To qualify for enrollment in V-l, an applicant must be unmarried, between the age of seventeen thru nineteen inclusive, a U. S. citizen, of good character and possess po tential officer-like qualities. He must be enrolled as a freshman or sophomore in an accredited college pursuing courses required under the program, and must meet the physical requirements for a com mission in the Naval Reserve in a general or special classification. However, all students in accredited schools who were sophomores or freshmen during the academic year 1941-42 and who were eli gible for V-l can enlist in the V-l program at any time prior to No vember 1, 1942. Freshman and Sophomore students within the eli gible age brackets who may be interested in the Navy’s V-l pro gram, may secure all information concerning this program from the V-l Section, Office of Naval Offi cer Procurement, New Orleans, or from the branch offices of Naval Officer Procurement in Houston, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Nashville and Birmingham. Selective Service Releases List Of Occupations Necessary to War Effort Stressing the urgent need in our war program for skilled man power behind as well as on the battle lines, General J. Watt Page, State Selective Service Director, has advised local boards of twenty- four “critical occupations” in sci entific and specialized fields to guide them in the classification of registrants in those professions. These “critical occupations” are listed in a bulletin sent to all State Directors by National Headquar ters, Selective Service System, which also specifically outlines the conditions under which students in such fields may be classified or deferred from military service as “necessary men.” The list includes: Accountants; Chemists, Econo mists; Engineers — Aeronautical, Automotive, Chemical, Civil, Elec trical, Heating, Ventilating, Re frigerating and Air Conditioning, Marine, Mechanical, Mining and Metallurgical (including Mineral Technologists), Radio, Safety, and Transportation — Air, Highway, Railroad, Water; Geophysicists; Industrial Managers; Mathemati cians; Meteorologists; Naval Archi tects; Personnel Administrators; Physicists (including Astrono mers); Psychologists, and Statisti cians. The National Headquarters Bul letin pointed out that all of these critical occupations require highly specialized periods of training of BURKHALTER FOR COMMISSIONER, PRECINCT 1 If elected, I pledge my time to the building and upkeeping of the roads as well as the administration of the office duties thereby elim inating the expense of a foreman, fewer car registrations create a need for economy.

Specifying that a student who is in training and preparation for one of these scientific and special fields may not be considered by his local board for occupational defer ment “until the close, or approxi mately the close, of his second or sophomore year in a recognized col lege or university,” the bulletin stated: “There are many registrants who are in training and prepara tion to acquire the qualification or skill to engage in these critical oc cupations. Normally, the period of training and preparation to acquire the necessary qualification or skill in these scientific and specialized fields extends over a period of four academic years in a recognized academic, professional, or techni cal college or university. In many instances, however, it is necessary for persons to have additional study in a recognized academic, professional, or technical college or university in order to acquire the more highly specialized quali fication or skill necessary for the performance of particular services in activities necessary to war pro duction or essential to the support of the war effort. Persons engag ing in further studies in addition to the four academic years normal ly required are referred to as grad uate or postgraduate students.” The National Headquarters Bul letin then reads: “A registrant who is in training and preparation for one of these scientific and specialized fields may be considered for occupation al deferment at the close, or ap proximately at the close, of his second or sophomore year in a recognized college or university if he is pursuing a course of study upon the successful completion of which he will have acquired the necessary training, qualification, or skill, and if he gives promise of continuing and will be accept able for continuing such course of study and will undertake actual further classroom work within a period of not to exceed four months from the close of his sec ond year. “A registrant who is in training and preparation for one of these scientific and specialized fields shall be considered for occupation al classification during his third and fourth years in a recognized college or university, provided that he gives promise of the success ful completion of such course of study and the acquiring of the necessary degree of training, qual ification, or skill. “A graduate or postgraduate student who is undertaking fur ther studies for these scientific and specialized fields, following the completion of the normal four academic years, may be considered for occupational classification if, in addition to pursuing the addi tional studies, he is also acting as “graduate assistant” in a recog nized college or university or is engaged in scientific research re lated to the war effort and which is supervised by a recognized Fed eral agency. A graduate assistant is a student in postgraduate studies who, in addition, is engaged in the teaching and instruction of under graduate students in these scien tific and specialized fields.” Furthermore, the National Head quarters Bulletin pointed out, reg istrants who have completed train ing and preparation for any of these “critical occupations” neces sary in the war program, should then be given reasonable time to become engaged in the practice of his profession. This period / is de fined as “not to exceed 60 days” after graduation, the bulletin stat ing: “When a registrant has com pleted his training and preparation in a recognized college or univer sity and has acquired a high de gree of training, qualification, or skill in one of these scientific and specialized fields, such registrant should then be given the opportu nity to become engaged in the prac tice of his profession in an activity necessary to war production or es sential to the support of the war effort. In many instances follow ing graduation from a recognized college or university, a certain pe riod of time will be required in the placing of trained, qualified, or skilled personnel in an essential activity. When a registrant has been de ferred as a necessary man in order to complete his training and prep aration, it is only logical that his deferment should continue until he has an opportunity to use his scientific and specialized training to the best interest of the nation. Accordingly, following graduation from a recognized college or uni versity in any of these scientific and specialized fields, a registrant should be considered for further occupational classification for a period of not to exceed sixty days in order that he may have an op- Broilers, Fryers Featured on Food Special This Week Broilers and fryers will be fea tured as a Victory Food Special from July 16 through July 25 by retailers in Texas and throughout the nation. According to H. H. Weatherby, assistant poultry hus bandman of the A. and M. College Extension Service, supplies of broilers and fryers, beginning in mid-July, will set an all time high, due to a national increase of 19 percent over 1941 in the number of chicks hatched. The merchandising campaign is designated to encourage increased consumption of this poultry meat at a time of year when its avail ability for marketing is at its peak, he explained. The large sup ply this year results from the great expansion which has oc curred in poultry production to meet wartime egg requirements. During the first four months of this year the number of chicks hatched exceeded the output of 1940 by 37 per cent. “Increased comsumption of this poultry meat at a time when sup plies are in seasonal abundance will help conserve pork and other meats urgently needed for the nation’s armed forces, as well as for Lend-Lease shipments to the united nations and other wartime purposes,” Weatherby said. —DOWELL— (Continued From Page 3) Dowell says his co-workers in the department make up the most con genial group of men with whom he has ever worked. Badminton is a sport of which most people have the wrong con ception, states Dowell. He goes on to say that not many people are familiar with true badminton; that it is one of the most strenuous games known and requires more stamina than basketball. As soon as the equipment arrives Dowell will be ready to teach the sport of badminton (as it should be play ed) to any and all Aggies inter ested in the sport.

The Scandinavian countries, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, are in one confederation and Switzerland has been done away with as an inde pendent country. To the layman this is all ex tremely weird and almost revolt ing but in defense of his plan, Professor Renner claims that “My map of Europe would meet all the valid arguments advanced by the Axis countries, and thereby de prive them of propaganda weap ons, without yielding them any thing which would render them materially stronger than they were in 1939.” I wonder how true this all is— could a subdued and insulted group of the calibre and pride of the Germans be satiated with only a little power? That’s beyond the fondest dreams of a dreamer. To my way of reasoning Germany should be allowed either unlimited power, to appease her desire for world domination, or have every vestige of influence wrested from her and compulsory democracy levied so others might live in peace.
