Wednesday, March 21, 1956 THE BATTALION Page 5 Summer Camp Dates Announced by Army Eight summer camps to be at tended by Army ROTC cadets will start June 23 and end Aug. 3. said Col. D. P. Anderson, PMS&T. “These dates will prevent cadets from being released early at camp to attend the second semester of summer school”, he said. Deferment from camp will be considered if it is necessary for a student to attend summer school to earn credits necessary to grad uate at the normal time, or to com plete prerequisite courses needed prior to next fall. “In either case,” Col. Anderson emphasized, “it is mandatory that the student obtain a letter from his dean showing the vital need of en rollment in summer school.” Deferments will be considered for students whose attendance at camp would create a financial hardship. “The Army has no desire to force a hardship upon ROTC stu dents,” he explained. “However, those seeking a deferment on this basis must submit in writing an itemized financial statement show ing how much money is available for the next school year, how much the cadet owes, the amount to be earned over the summer and where he will work. Deferments for fi nancial hardship will be granted only when the student will be fi nancially unable to return to school next year because of camp attend ance,” he added. Geology students who must at tend geology camp may also be de ferred. Requests for summer camp de ferment must be submitted to the cadet’s senior instructor. Summer camps will be held at Fort Hood, Tex.; Fort Lee, Va.; Fort Sill, Okla.; Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.; Fort Eustis, Va.; Fort Knox, Ky.; Camp Gordon, Ga. and Aberdeen Proving Ground, My.
