continuing [ nigan described Stroup as f> feet
tall, 165 pounds, fair complexion
and light brown hair. Hannigan
said that police agencies in Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana
have also been notified of the dis
appearance.
Stroup reportedly arrived in this
area by bus Monday, Sept. 11, the
day before New Student Week be
gan. He spent the night in an
area motel with another entering
freshman and asked for his dorm
assignment about 11 a.m. Tuesday.
Stroup was assigned to Squadron
1, Dorm 6, by the Housing Office.
His roommate was Peter H. Rous
sel.
Roussel said Stroup appeared
“ready to get to work.”
Both of the freshmen went to
bed Tuesday night. Roussel said
he awoke sometime during the
night and saw Stroup sitting by
the window. Roussel went back
to sleep and Wednesday morning
Stroup was gone.
There was only a note stating
in effect: “I have gone home, send
my refund money to me at Box
345, Abbeville, Ala.”
At this time the only luggage
Stroup had with him was a zipper
canvas bag. His parents, Mr. and
Mrs. H. A. Stroup, said that he
left with a footlocker, duffle bag
and a suitcase.
Authorities said the footlocker,
duffle bag and suitcase have been
traced to Houston where they were
shipped by bus, but there the trail
ends.
Stroup had been on campus less
than 24 hours w ? hen he dis
appeared.

The Associated Press reported
yesterday Army officials have said
that Guard members called to
active duty will not be excused
except in unusual circumstances.
An Army spokesman said defer
ments may be granted by the divi
sion commander for certain high
school or college members of the
Guard who have not completed six
months of active duty.
Even if they have completed six
months of duty, some may be
granted deferment if they have
been accepted by a college or have
started classes, the spokesman
said.
The spokesman also said those
who have not had an Army phys
ical examination in the past year
will be given one within 10 days.
Those found not physically quali
fied will be dropped.
The local division commander
can grant deferments in “very
definite hardship cases,” the
spokesman said.
The mere fact that a guardsman
is married will not be sufficient
in itself to permit a deferment,
the report said.
