That May Be Sent Here
Latest communique from the
Navy Department to the Univer
sity gives further details concerning
the College Training Program
which will be instituted at the Uni
versity this summer if negotiations
now under way materialize as it is
thought by authorities that they
will.
Excerpts from the Navy bulletin
follow:
1. Of the students assigned to
colleges and universities by the
Navy on or about July 1, approxi
mately 80 per cent will be students
now in college, who are enlisted
in Class V-1 or V-7 or hold pro
bationary commissions in the U. S,
Naval Reserve or are enlisted in the
Marine Corps or Coast Guard Re
serves, or in the Army Enlisted Re
serve Corps with Navy preference
(Form A). Academically these
students will complete their col
lege training on the basis outlined
in the announcement of March 1
1942. If they are medical or den
tal students or engineering special.
ists they will complete the work foi
their degrees.
Other reservists, except preseni
seniors, will leave college befor4
finishing eight full terms of aca
demic work, but they will be re
quired by the Navy merely to com
plete the special group of course
originally designated as the mini
mum in preparation for genera
service. Although such reservist
will be in the same military statu:
as all others involved in the V-i
- program, none of them will be re
quired to enter the new, fully pre
scribed V-12 curricula; but withit
the limits of their desire4 "major
interest, it is hoped that they wil
wish to include as many of the V-1:
subjects as possible. When it be
comes necessary to shift such stu
dents from colleges allocated to th<
Army into colleges under contrac
to the Navy, every effort will bi
made to send them to institution:
offering excellent instruction in thi
fields of their special "major" in
terests.

Practice Cruise
For N ROTC Laid
Boys Inspect Base,
Sail, May 28-June 11
The Naval ROTC unit of the
University will make a modified
summer practice cruise from May
28 to June 11, inclusive, it was an
nounced this week by Capt. R. H.
Needham.
The announcement of only one
cruise came after the tentative plans
for two shortened cruises were
cancelled.
In announcing the plans for the
cruise Captain Needham said:
"While this is not a cruise in the
true sense of the word, since the
greater part of the time will be
spent on shore inspecting shore ac
tivities at the Navy Yard and the
Section Base at Charleston, how
ever, some short cruise will be made
on boats of the Inshore Patrol, in
all probability. This should add
greatly to the efficiency of the ac
tivities of the Naval ROTC. Prac
tically all those in the unit who de
sire to make the cruise can do so.
"Orders are expected from the
Navy department placing students
of the unit who are expected to
make the cruise on active duty with
the pay of an apprentice seaman,
for the period of the cruise."
The unit will make the trip to
Charleston by train as they have
done previously. Two officers and
all petty officers will accompany
the group.
Boys on the cruise will wear the
regulir working dress of the navy
while on duty and the uniform blue
coat with white trousers for dress
or leave, the latter of which Cap
tain Needham remarked: "There
will be a limited amount."

Fun To Start
At 6 Tonight
Supper Sponsored
By Student Union
The new University of South
Carolina picne grounds in Max
cy Gregg Park will be formally
opened this afternoon when a
gala picnic is served for the
entire student body.
All students and members of
the faculty and staff are cor
dially invited to attend the pic
nic supper, which will be abso
lutely free. Supper will be
served starting at six o'clock.
Members of the committee in
charge said that there will be
enough food for everybody who at
tends, perhaps even for some sec
ond helpings.
SUB Provides Food
The Student Union Board, which
constructed the picnic grounds, will
provide the food for the picnic and
Alpha Kappa Gamma will prepare
and serve it. Dodie Brown is
chairman of the AKG picnic com
mittee.
Details of the menu for the pic
nic supper have not been divulged,
but plenty of everything will be pro
vided. The committee expects to
feed about 500 people.
Frank H. Wardlaw, adjunct pro
fessor of journalism who -ch
man of the Student Union Board,
said that the picnic grounds will be
available to student groups of all
kinds for picnics.
All Organizations Can Use
Fraternities, clubs, organizations
of all types, or simply informal
groups of students will be permitted
to use the grounds for picnics if
they sign up in advance with the
director of student activities and ob
tain a key to the woodshed from
him. Cooking utensils will be pro

The picnic grounds were con

Board at a cost of approximately
$500. The fence and woodshed were
painted by a Kappa Sigma Kappa
committee, headed by Sumner

Kappa Gamma members.
On War Jobs
yed Tuesday
Besides the list of specific jobs,
and interested girls, there will be
kept a list of girls who are interested
in other jobs that might be opened
!ater on. This list also will be
used by Dean Childs in making
further plans to place co-eds in jobs.
The exhibit will be divided into
five booths, and each booth will
feature a different kind of war job.
At each booth will be a member of
AKG who has studied up on the
facts of the jobs featured at her
booth, and she wvill be ready to an
swver questions, and give informa
tion.
The different fields to be covered
in the exhibit are: one, the women's
armed forces; two, government jobs
such as FBI, navy yards; three,
civil service jobs; four, war indus
tries; five, other professions such as
nursing, retail buying, etc.
"Although it is being put on pri
marily for seniors, others should be
interested in having an opportunity
to see what jobs are now available
to women. Some might want to
alter their courses to meet the re
quirements of some job they would
like upon graduation," Mrs. Childs
