SPEER Competitive examinations to se lect candidates for enrollment in Naval ROTC will be given Janu ary 18, 1947, according to an an nouncement made last week by Captain M. G. Kennedy, com 1 manding officer of the ROTC unit s at the University. Examinations r will be given to enlisted men of the Navy and Marine Corps, as well as civilian applicants. These examinations will be n given in Columbia, Spartanburg, c, Charleston, Greenville, and Flor ence. Applications will have to be submitted by December 17 to c the Entrance Examination Board 0 at Princeton, New Jersey. Ap plication forms can be obtained s from high school principals ,f throughout the state, or from the University. s Professor W. C. McCall, di d rector of the University Person nel Bureau, will be in charge of the n examinations in South Carolina. I- Included on the exams will 'Y be aptitude tests, physical ex n aminations, and interviews by naval procurement officers. Final a selection will be made by a state n committee composed of a repre - sentative from the University, one from the Navy, and a public - minded citizen. These tests are the first step 0 in choosing students to participate in the Navy's new peace-time pro gram for training reserve offi.. cers. The course under this plan will last for four years, in any of y the 52 colleges in the nation that t the student desires. Features of the plan include a $600 annual retainer, all expenses paid, and a six to eight week cruise each summer. Upon com pletion of the course, students would be commissioned an officer in the Navy or Marine Corps. Commissioned graduates would - be required to serve a minimum of fifteen months in the service, after which time they would be *d eligible to resign their commis esions, or remain on active status. SBritish Barbers Lose Shillings To ,Alien USC Talent By SAYE GASTON Times do change. Only a short time ago, Capt. "Ace" Parker, gradluate student, was Turret Of. e ficer of the 493rd Bomber Group dstationed at Debich, England. Frank Eppes, who is working to. Ie wards an A.B., was at the Base le Air Depot in Northern England. r- Naturally, all,* American bases were connected by telephone. Since "Ace" didn't trust the Brit al ish barbers, everytime he wanted ia haircut he got on a 'phone and ." called his old friend, Frank. ss Frank would find some pilot il. making that run, or if none were r- going at that time, he'd catch a Taxi Ship. This usually cost 'Uncle Sam just about $300 for til Capt. Parker's haircuts. Frank vn says it only took 3 or 4 hours of ch his time and he received shillings al equivalent to about a quarter for he his part in this little performance. eBoth these boys are now back once more at USC. Now, when or "Ace" wants his hair cut, he d; merely goes to the phone, calls ed Tenement 25 and tells Frank to he bring his weapons on over to ed Tenement 20. Frank obligingly er wanders over, performs the op I." oration, pockets his quarter, and >si looks about for new fields in le, which to operate. Times do change ng --fees too, from shillings to quar term. ngs Of Surplus ill Be Erected .r Lanham Act ng up on the campus of the in the near future, according ain F. K. Elder, assistant to The project is to be carried out under the stipulations of the Lan ham Act, through which money has been appropriated by the government for the purpose of dismantling, transferring and set ting up surplus war site buildings at institutions of higher learning. Captain Elder has already vis ited camp sites in two states in cluding the Army Air Base at Camden, the Army Air Base at Orangeburg, the Army Replace ment Depot at Greensboro, N. C., and the Naval Air Station at Beaufort, and Camp Davis and Camp Caswell near Wilmington, N. C., in view of getting the available buildings that could be used at the University. The temporary buildings, ac cording to Captain Elder, are more expensive and less satis factory than new ones. However, he favors the move because of the scarcity of materials and - the overcrowded conditions under which the school is now operating. The new buildings will be con verted mess halls, classroom buildings, barracks, and recrea tion halls which will provide labo ratory and lecture room space and will be immediately ready for use. Buildings of this type are ex pected to be in demand by col leges and universities throughout the entire nation since over 1, 000,000 new students are expected to enroll throughout the country next year. This will bring the na tion's entire college enrollment to a figure more than twice that of pre-war times. According to the best estimates, the peak of en rollment will not be reached un til 1950 or 1951.
