Officers To Apply For Reserve Unit
The first major step in the organization of a naval reserve officers unit of the University was taken Tuesday night when 68 former line officers filled out applications to be used in positioning the commander of the ninth naval district.
If permission is granted, the unit is to select its own lectures and study courses, which are expected to include post graduate naval courses. Instructors will be chosen from the unit. A commanding officer, executive officer, and other staff officers will be chosen on basis of experience and rank to conduct examinations.
Only one other such unit has been established, at Northwestern university, and it is based on the same general plan. Another unit is in the process of organization at the University of Wisconsin.
After the unit is organized, the only new members will be replacements. For this reason, all former navy line officers are asked to make their application before Saturday when the petition is to be submitted to the commander of the ninth naval district. Application blanks are available in the N.R.O.T.C. office in the Military Science building, and are to be turned in at that office.
Capt. J. V. Peterson, professor of naval science, indicated the unit had the full backing of the University end of the N.R.O.T.C.
Further plans for the unit include 24 meetings a year, to be held during the school year. It is considered a strong possibility that members of the unit will receive pay for this work.
"If and when the petition is granted, the University has given permission to use the facilities of the Military Science building in the M.R.O.T.C. division," he said.
"This will include classroom space for drills and lectures, use of the H.R.O.T.C. movie projector, the rifle range, and also instructional aid from the N.R.O.T.C. staff."

"Give for Those Who Gave" won first prize in the War Memorial slogan contest. Donald M. Price, College junior, received a pipe and a tobacco pouch for writing the slogan. Seven new student bell ringers have been added to the list of those contributing $25 or more.
