R.O.T.C. Rejects 75 Applications
Klooz requests that students not wait until the last day to pay their fees. Last year a large number of students were unable to pay before the deadline, because of the last minute rush on the bursar's office.
At least 75 men who applied for the advance training R.O.T.C. course must be turned away, Col. S. Dusenbury, professor of military science and tactics, announced today.
The Colonel expressed regret that these men would not be allowed to take the course, but said that the rejection is necessary since the enrollment quota for the advanced course is set by the War Department.
The current national emergency has not increased the course quota because there are many college graduates in the enlisted and selective service ranks who will be sent to officer training camps if they show particular aptness, Colonel Dusenbury said.
The War Department sets no limit on enrollment in the basic R.O.T.C. course. According to present figures basic enrollment will exceed the 670 of last year, which was the largest enrollment in military up to that time.
Thursday Is Fee Payment Deadline
The number of applications for entrance in the advanced course this year surpassed expectations, the Colonel said.
Karl Klooz, bursar, today announced that the total number of students having paid their fees amounted to approximately 3-4 of the total registration. This figure does not include the students enrolled in the medical school.
Mr. Klooz announced that the last day for payment of fees without penalty will be Thursday. Beginning Friday a penalty of fifty cents a day will be added until October first. After this date any student not having paid his fees is liable to cancellation of his enrollment.

Lt.-Col. Carleton Smith, a member of the staff of Col. S. Dusenbury, head of the department of military science and tactics, who has been attending a special course in the infantry division at Ft. Benning, Geo., will return here about October 10th for a brief visit with his friends before leaving for Ft. Leonard Wood, Raleigh, Mo., where he has been transferred to the 6th Division of the regular army.
It is expected that the Colonel will leave about October 15th for Ft. Wood. His family wili probably accompany him.
Lt. Jack R. Gage will fill the place on Col. Dusenbury's staff left vacant by the transfer of Col Smith.
