Rioh- McKissick, in a speech to a gathering of studentf'ii chapel last week, declared that no ptudent would remain long. at the University who did not show an in tention of serious study in prepar ing for service, "no matter whose sons they may be." During freshman week, Naval ROTC candidates were tested and chosen and an exceptionally large class of applicants attended exami nations given then. Meanwhile, the University in a state of war has made many changes-t meet conditions. Speed up- of cotris" through summer school and high-school-student ma triculation also was recommended ast year by the faculty. Full course loads are required of men enlisted with enlisted reserves. Pre-dental and pre-medical cours es are being emphasized especially in conjunction with the Navy's )lan for pre-med and pre-dental stu lents allowing them to be deferred provided they are accepted at ac credited schools of their respective professions. A pre-nursing course was added at the University last semester and a good number of women students are registered under this plan for the coming year. Pre-nursing students attend the University for two years and then go to the Columbia Hostpital for training as nurses. Civilian defense units of students for the servicing of tenements and ather buildings were formed last year and will be reorganized soon. Early in October, teams from the Marine, Army and Air Corps re :ruiting services will be on the cam pus to explain their plans and will -eturn later to enlist students ap )lying. Registration for mathematics .ourses increased greatly in recog iftion of the need of the fighting orces for men trained in mathe natics and related subjects. De :ided drops in certain AB courses ndicate that most students are aim ag at war related college curricular. Physical education requirements or all students have been raised, 8 :redits being specified for gradu Ltion for all freshmen, sophomores Lnd juniors. An intensified course n gym will endeavor to put men tudents in shape for stiff Army raimig. With the lowering of the draft ~ge an eminent possibility, work in he classes got under way' more apidly this year than ever before.
