(continued from page one) semester or term in which they reach approximate Selective Service age.
3. It is now planned that Selective Service age will be interpreted at the equivalent age at which a man would otherwise be inducted through Selective Service—approximately 20 years and 6 months.
4. The R.O.T.C. will be continued although it is indicated that some slight modifications are under consideration.
7. As previously announced the Recruiting Team from all services will begin its visits to college campuses on September 15th.
There is no indication that the navy, Marine corps, or Coast Guard will make a similar change in their respective Reserve Corps plans.
5. The army intends to use the facilities of the colleges and universities for such training as may be considered necessary for future officer candidates.
The attempt to interest women students in preparing themselves in some specific way to aid in the general war program has led the University to present a list of available courses including some new courses open to women for the first time. One of the new programs receiving much attention is a course in camouflage design offering two hours credit either semester to anyone in the University.
Camouflage Course Is New
Camouflage Course is New Under the direction of T. D. Jones, assistant professor of design, and graduate of the Civilian Camouflage courses at Ft. Belvior, Va., and with headquarters in the department of design, the course presents the principles of protective concealment
No. prerequisites are required for the course which will meet from 7 to 8:30 on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Divisions in the course which will be studied include types of camouflage, aerial warfare, vision and visual perception, observation, interpretation of aerial photographs, smoke and fog, and blackouts.
Fians have been made to build camouflage settings on the campus and take aerial photographs from which detailed study may be offered. Most of the practice work in the course will be done from models. The course is not just a general study of the art of camouflage but is designed to enable the student to put the material to some practicla use.
New Aeronauties Course ff fi fliff
Another course which is being introduced to men and women is elementary aeronautics. This is an introductory course not of an engineering nature but rather to introduce certain aeronautical subjects pertinent to pilot training. The course has been arranged to introduce three important topics in pilot ground school instruction—aircraft, navigation, and meteorology. Students in the course will study forces on the airplane in flight, stability, latitude and latitude, maps and charts, principles and construction of instruments, importance of weather in flying, humidity, fog,

Sheffler's "TRIUMPH" is the newest *Lifelike* pen. We began developing it four years before the entry of the United States into war. At that time "TRIUMPH" was undergoing final rigorous tests by land and sea. It has been sold throughout 1942. Fortunately, practically all of the materials in "TRIUMPH" are of least critical nature . . . Men and women in all walks of life will value this essential gift, now and always.
Note: Fuel all pens carefully. Sheaffer's SKRIP is kind to the rubber and other critical parts of pens—makes all pens write better and last longer.
*All Lifelima pens are unconditionally guaranteed for the life of the first user except against loss and willful damage—when served, if complete pens returned, subject only to insurance, postage, handling charge—35c
