said he would soon call up military reservists

"I don't know what frame of mind I'll be
for my studies," said Junior Waldron, an Am
reservist who is a sophomore engineering maji
at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Ne
York.
No one knows exactly how many of the r
servists subject to being called to active militai
duty are college students.
Joe Hanley, spokesman for the U.S. Arm
Reserves, estimated that 61 percent of h
group's 579,000 members are full- or part-tirr
college students.
