Merchant Marine Service Is Not MS Substitute Merchant Marine . service is not acceptable as a substitute for two years of basic military training required to graduate from A&M, Registrar H.

By checking their status* nOw, persons , will avoid any chance of having to spend extra time taking military science af ter completing scholastic hour requirements, he said. The only exemption requests recognized by the Registrar’s Office are for physical defects, age, or entrance into the school vv\ith advanced scholastic stand ing. In these cases, Heaton ex plained, students must be pass ed by an examining hoard. II * V •#|p” ! I is; fljaiiceL re r ’ lr P' in i n ab Uty bf ,g " He Depurlti }|d Itu ^e|| a; tjnrr ped! .i!
