enlist in the air corps reserve and
receive a deferred status until the
air corps needs him.

probability, the student would be
allowed to complete his college
career, so long as he maintains a
-satisfactory, or will at least be al

which he is registered before be
ing called for active duty.
Students entering under the plan
must take the same physical exami
nation as men regularly enlisted in
tht "; cupa dAli; u PAIUSO ~L.

The University was selected re
cently as one of the colleges to en
ter the reserve set-up, and Prof.
Charles F. Mercer was appointed a
liason agent between students and
the air corps.
Professor Mercer announced to
day that he had been sent brochures
and applications, which he had
available for any student who is in
terested. He said, however, that he
had not as yet received complete
information, but.that he advises all
interested students to fill out appli
cations and not turn them in until
more complete details can be ob
tained.
'With Colonel Cooper came J. T.
Biggs, a graduate of the Univer
sity, and now a lieutenant in the air
