STUDENT CO-OP Bicycle and Radio Repair PHONE 4-4114 Status of Foreign Students Defined Many foreign students are en gaged in academic work at A. & M. in the various fields of agriculture, engineering, veterinary medicine, and liberal arts and many of these students have expressed concern and puzzlement regarding their draft status. The Secretary of State and Selective Service Head quarters have prepared a state ment defining their status, the gist of which is herein presented. Alien students admitted into this country for purposes of study are not specifically exempted from the requirements of the Selective Service Act of 1940. However, there is a well defined procedure under which they may establish such exemption, by showing that they are not “residing in the Unit ed States” within the meaning of the Act. It has been the experience of this Department as well as of local Selective Service boards who are empowered under the Act to define the Selective Service status of all persons that many alien students are unaware that they must apply for and obtain an Alien’s Certificate of Non-Resi dence within the ninety day period following their admission to the United States, in order to estab lish an exempt status under the Act. A student is likewise required on reaching his eighteenth birth day to apply within three' months thereafter for a Certificate of Non- Residence. Application is made on Form 302 (Application for Deter mination of Residence). A com panion Form 304 (Alien Personal History and Statement) is filed at the time of application. Local boards are empowered to issue Alien’s Certificate of Non-Resi dence (Form 303) to all bona fide, full-time, nondeclarant, alien stu dents who have been admitted to the United States for the sole pur pose of study and have maintained their student status continuously.

Plans Made For Air Service Here Hearings before the Civil Aero nautics Board on Southwest Air ways’ application to establish feeder airlines in Texas and Okla homa, which would put College Station on the nation’s air map, will be held in approximately 90 days, the Battalion was advised to day by company officials. The Board already has set June 7 as the date for a pre-hearing conference on its application, the company reported, and this is ex pected to be followed by formal hearings within three months. Extension of air transportation to the Southwest’s smaller cities and towns thus is moving with unexpected speed, and this be comes one of the very first areas in the entire nation to be consid ered for feeder routes. Southwest officials were report ed to view this as “a strong in dication that the Board attaches great need to expanding the Southwest’s air transportation sys tem at the earliest possible time.” Establishment of the routes is expected to be of consideable bene fit to College Station, as they would provide fast, frequent air service to numerous other cities in this area, as well as to Houston and Dallas. Passengers are to be carried on Southwest’s planes in addition to air mail and air ex press, the latter two services to be rendered where landing facil ities are not available. The American Creed was writ ten by William Tyler Page. Second Cotton School Under Way Second session of the 1944 Sum mer Cotton School conducted by the Texas A. & M. College under the direction of Dr. Ide P. Trotter, head of the Department of Agron omy, got under way May 29 and will continue through July 8. First session of this school was held April 10-May 20. Course of instruction in the cot ton school is designed for serving those who wish to acquire train ing, experience and the basic fun damentals of cotton classification, and for those who have had ex perience in producing, processing and handling cotton, but who wish to improve their understanding of cotton classing. At the. present time there is a critical shortage of experience cotton classers. Special training in cotton class ification, based on U. S. Govern ment standards is being given, which features grading, stapling, local cotton buying and trading records. Cotton fiber testing and spinning is being observed in the only U. S. Government Cotton Spinning Laboratory in the South west, located at the Texas A. <§ M. College. Outstanding author ities on various phases of cotton production and research will be brought in to give lectures on their special fields of cotton production. Registration is limited to not over 50 cotton classers and these come from all cotton producing states and Latin America. A new'series of studies on pro tein materaolism is to be under taken at the Wayne university col lege of medicine.
