761 in Reserves

OF THE 1,250 MEN enrolled at Dartmouth College this term, 761 are enlisted in the Army, Navy and Marine Reserves, a College tabulation disclosed last month. In addition to these reservists, representing 60 per cent of the student body, 400 men are registered for selective service, 78 are too young for registration, and a few others are awaiting assignment to West Point and Annapolis.

Of the three reserve corps the Navy leads with 421 enlisted students, followed by the Army with 249 and the Marines with 91. More than half of the Navy reservists are in the V-i Class, with others in V-5, V-7, the medical corps, and the merchant marine. The largest group in the Army Enlisted Reserve Corps is unassigned, with more than 100 in the air corps, and the remain- der distributed among the medical corps, signal corps, mountain troops, and cavalry.

Eighty of the men registered for selective service are in I-A awaiting calls, while 22 are in 4-F as unsuited for service. Eightyseven have been deferred and 206 others are still unclassified.

The majority of students in the Army Air Corps Enlisted Reserve have been ordered to report for active duty, and men enlisted in the Naval Air Corps Reserve are also subject to call at any time. It is expected that all other Dartmouth reservists, however, will remain in college until the present semester ends in April. This is in accordance with the Army's directive that unassigned reservists would not be called until the close of the first term that ends in the calendar year 1943. Dartmouth was one of the few colleges in the East to finish its fall semester in December.
