Arrangements were made by C h i e f Highway Commissioner Claude R. McMillan with Univer sity President Donald S. Russell for the men to occupy Kirkland Apartments on Pendleton Street, and to hold classes in various col leges on the campus. The school is under supervision of Furman Mc Eachern, Jr., of the State High way Department, assisted by Patrol Sgt. Hoyt Bailey. A Thorough Investigation Before being accepted as patrol trainees, the applicants underwent thorough investigation by officials of the Highway Department. Their physical qualifications, character and reputation were intensely sur veyed. Requirements are extremely rigid for the patrol, and men with police records or poor military or high school records are not con sidered for patrol positions. The Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps made their facili ties available to the newv patrolmen 'where calisthenics and other p)hases of training are conducted. The patrol trainees will meet with the naval cadets in the near future int target pract ice and firearm conm pe ittitioni. The eight-week course contains a ( wvide variety of exercises, involving the many things that a patrolmant is called upon to do. Although sonme '2 judo, pistol firing, criminal inta rogation and riot control instruc-i tion is presented, most of the Iee-t tures wvill consist of phases of t training that are the primary duties of the Highway Patrol.
