Many Carolina Men Were Stationed In War Struck Bases Lewis Says Over 2,000 USC Alumni Serve In Notion's Armed Force Alumni of Carolina in the armed services of the nation have, since Sunday, been engaged in actual warfare for the defense of America. America's declaration of war on Japan brought forth from the Alumni Association word that no exact figures are available, but that over two thousand Carolina grads are serving the country in the army, navy, marines, coast guard, or vital dlefense work of a civilian nature. Asked by a Gamecock reporter how many men were in the service and where they were stationed, Ralph Lewis, executive secretary of the Alumni Association declared that it would take four men full time work for at least one year to correctly answer it. Lewis declined also to name out standing officers in the military branches, stating that "now that war has come, the lowest private or seaman is sacrificing as much as the highest general or Admiral, and no special recognition will come from this office." He did, however, reveal that University Alumni are prominent among generals and ad nmirals as well as new selectees. Hundreds of former~ USC stu dents are in the army and navy.

As the first surprise an to wonder what their part in resent crisis, the sons and daugh lay the same devotion to the na sacrifice in its defense . . . (as in Pres. J. Rion McKissick told a s; Wednesday. "How wi!l the war affect the Uni versity and its registration?" was a question in the mind of every stu dent and faculty member at the University. At this time last year, 34.1% of the men enrolled at the University were over 21. These percentages do not change appreciably from year to year, Flinn Gilland, assistant regis trar revealed today. Total of men now enrolled at the University is 1136. This would make 398 students eligible for the draft. But concensus of advice was for students to remain in school as long as possible. In a letter to Carolina students at the beginning of the 1941-'42 school year, President McKissick pointed out the wiseness of students remain ing in school. The letter quoted President F. D. Roosevelt as having said: "Reports have reached me that some young people who had planned to enter college this fall, as well as a number of those who attended college last year . . . (are quitting because they feel that they should serve their country in the armed forces) . . . Such a decision would be unfortunate." "Young people should be ad vised," Mr. .stvelt continued, "that it is their patriotic duty to continue the normal course of their education, unless or until they are called, so that they will be well pre pared for greatest usefulness to their country. They will be prompt ly notified if they are needed for other patriotic services." Mr. Donald Russell, Spartanburg attorney and University alumnus, who spoke at the recently held meeting of alumni secretaries of the nine Southern states, was quoted in a Columbia Record editorial Dec. 9, the day after war was declared. "WVe must improve," Mr. Russell asserted, "the quality of our people (CONvfNUE~D ON PAGE 6) Euphradians Hear Far East. Traveler W. T.
