MEN WITH EXPERIENCE MAY JOIN CORPS IN JUNE

It has been decided by the military authorities of the University to allow those men from other colleges who have had sufficient previous military training, or who are at present drilling in some college organization, to enter the Training Corps here after their respective colleges close in June. Men who have not had such training will not be admitted after next Saturday night.

There was a big jump in the enlistments yesterday, 36 new men being accepted for service in the Corps. Most of these recruits came from other New England Colleges or were graduates of the University. Since the reopening of the unit after the Easter recess 396 men have applied for admission, 296 of whom have been accepted. Fifty-seven have been rejected for physical reasons, and the remaining 43 have not completed their enrolment. The enrolment bureau at Warren House will remain open until Saturday night.

Intensive Drill Under Way.

The R. O. T. C. was put through its first day's work of intensive training yesterday. From 9 until 12 o'clock in the morning, and from 2 until 5 o'clock in the afternoon the regiment drilled and manoeuvred on Soldiers' Field, and the performance will be repeated every day this week.

The three battalions of the former regiment, somewhat depleted by the loss of men who have already reported to the Government Reserve Officers' Training Corps, were amalgamated into two battalions, new officers being appointed to fill vacancies. In the morning the French officers inspected these companies at drill, but took no part in the instruction.

The four companies of recruits were formed into a third battalion, and were put through the elements of military drill by the four Army Sergeants who are acting as company commanders. The progress made by this battalion, even in one day, was most encouraging. Today the recruits will be issued rifles, and will receive their first instruction under arms. Each company will report this morning at 9 o'clock at the place designated by the commanding sergeant when it was dismissed.

Temporary non-commissioned officers were appointed in each of the new provisional companies. The cadet sergeants, however, were drilled for the greater part of the time in the ranks with the rest of the men. The highest cadet officer among the new recruits is, therefore, the first sergeant.
