“The problem facing the fellow
who decides he’ll get a degree and
take a chance on being drafted
is simple,” remarked a graduate
who has completed his service
tour.
“He’s drafted and finds himself
taking orders from a commis
sioned officer his age and who
has the same college training. But
one’s a private and the other is a
lieutenant,” he pointed out.
Information and applications
are available from Maj. E. S.
