BUSINESS SCHOOL ON FULL WAR BASIS

Moving as the first unit of the University to shift onto a full-time war footing, the Business School last night announced that it would accept no more candidates for degrees, probably for the duration. Men already accepted for the February class were notified yesterday that it would be impossible to begin a new class at that time.

The conversion will enable all of the School's facilities and staff to be concentrated on training men for active duty in the services and in war industry. The recently-announced War Production Retraining Program, opening on February 1, will not be affected.

New United Expected

Chief reason for the move was that new supply and procurement groups are expected to be added to the units of the Army and Navy already studying at the School. The Faculty is now working at peak load, and it was felt impractical to organize and carry through an entire curriculum for the small class expected in February and there-after because of the lowered draft age and the new Manpower-College plan.

The new structure of the School will be related to the organization of the colleges under the manpower plan. Excepts for the retraining program, all its students will be members of the armed forces sent to the School for specific wartime training.

To Activate ROTC

Members of the advanced ROTC will go on active duty about March 1 and continue their studies under military discipline and with Army pay, food and uniforms. In June they will go to O. C. S. at Camp Lee before being commissioned.

Although no plans for admission to the College have been announced and still hinge on the demands of the Manpower program, the more varied functions and the larger facilities of the College gave officials reason to feel that such restrictions on admission will not be necessary there. It was announced yesterday that the undergraduate ROTC will go on active duty while at College. The original program called for similar action by the NROTC.
