Col. Suggests Ready Reserve to Students

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Students who can no longer enroll in the R.O.T.C. should enlist in the Ready Reserve immediately, and thereby start eliminating their reserve obligation, Col. Trever N. Dupuy, professor of Military Science and Tactics, said yesterday.

For those who choose to wait out the draft, Dupuy pointed out, "You take this gamble, and if you lose, you may have your active duty call come in your late twenties . . . with a three year Ready Reserve obligation continuing until your mid-thirties."

In the light of modifications made by the Reserve Forces Act of 1955, Dupuy recommended that freshmen, and qualified sophomores and juniors take advantage of the provision allowing them to enroll in the Army R.O.T.C. at the beginning of the spring term.
