"Sir, I am a senior at the Univer sity of North Carolina," I told the Marine recruiting officer at Raleigh, "and I plan to graduate in June. I was wondering if the Marines have anything to offer in the way of an enlistment that will allow me to com- -plete my college education." "I'm afraid we do not have any thing to offer right now," the officer jeplied, "but I will have soon. So many young college students like you have been in here the last couple of months and I have to give them the same answer. "However, recruiting officers will visit your University in March, again in April and again in May. Officer's training leading to a commission of second lieutenant will be offered to all sophomores, juniors, and seniors who enlist and are accepted in the Marine Corps. Here, is some infor mation on the enlistment. Please pass it on to your friends." How can I continue my college edu cation and still not neglect my duty to my country? That seems to. be the . question confronting most of the male students of this University. Very much interested in this vital question himself, your columnist vis ited the recruting of f ice in Raleigh of the Army, Navy, and the Marines. This week the Marines will be con sidered. In order to qualify for the officer's training you must be graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or Engineering degree from a nationally or regionally accredited college or university having a full four-year course. Pending graduation of seniors, a certificate from the registrar setting forth the fact that the applicant, judging from his previous record, should graduate in June will be ac cepted with application, pending lat er delivery of college transcript when he has earned a degree.

It also told al stu dents who wanted peace to start .letters outlining those sentiments, to write the Con gressmen and Senators, to write to the newspa Wto distribute peace literature, to dy peace war, to talk peace, and to get behind the Carolina Peace Drive wholeheartedly. . In the meantime, students went to see Dorothy Lamour in "The Typhoon;" the PUymakers put on "Ah Wilderness ;" and 1,000 students prepared to take off on a motorcade to Myrtle Beach. The Peace Drive in its final rally placed white ants of the regular service (height: 66 to 76 inches) and not be a member of the Army reserve, ROTC, Nation al guard or Naval reserve. The same requirements hold true for sophomores and juniors except such enlistees must be between the ages of 18 and 23 at the date of en listment. Such enlistment in the Platoon leaders class of the Marine Corps Reserve exempts the candidate from the draft. The student is allowed to graduate. In the case of the seniors, each enlistee is given 12 weeks of instruction as members of the Pla toon Leaders Class at the Navy yard in Philadelphia. In the case of soph omores and juniors, the enlistees will receive training during the summer months, probably six weeks of train ing for two summers. After successful completion of the 12 weeks of instruction and upon recommendation of the commanding officer of the Platoon Leaders Class, when graduated from the college or university in which matriculated, and upon presentation of required data concerning physical and moral fit ness, qualified students will be com missioned as second lieutenants. O Pay of a platoon leader on active training duty is that of a private first class, $36 a month. Second lieuten ants on active duty receive $125 per month plus allowances totaling $58 per month for quarters and subsist ence, bringing the total pay to $183. For the prospective applicant the Marine Corps has this message. "The Marine Corps, like your own college or university, is bsed upon traditions. "During the Marine Corps' 165 years of service to our country, the members of this small band, whose motto is Semper Fidelis, have ac quitted 'themselves with valor and distinction. Since their organization in 1775, they have journeyed to the far corners of the world to add epi sode after episode to their record. "Thus were born the traditions which are now a natural heritage of every member of the Marine Corps from the Major General Command ant to the newest recruit. "As a member of the Marine Corps Reserve these traditions will be nassed on to vou. to be preserved throughout your affiliations with the United States Marines."

By Brad McCuen Drummers are getting scarce on this campus and little wonder there's a jinx. Tiny Hutton, who broke his arm on the Tulane trip this fall, had just taken off the brace the other day and was starting to drum again. But Mr. Jinx stepped up and clubbed Tiny from behind. He was posing for some publicity photos and lost his tremendous balance. The arm is broken and it will be another two or three months lefore Tiny will be able to ' use the sticks. Hurst Hatch, another traps man, . similarly broke his arm this fall and just recently had it healed. The jinx appeared when Hurst found out that the arm had not mended correctly and elbow trouble aplenty was present-:,' Caruso was a famed tenor of days gone by. In your early infancy you probably toothed on one of his rec ords. Here's an interesting story about one of those records. Back in 1914 Caruso and Geraldine Farrar had labored all morning on "Madame Butterfly." They were trying to get a smooth recording of it but something would mar each at tempt. They took time out, during which Caruso adjourned to a neigh borhood bar for a tonsil loosener-upper. Back at the recording mike, Miss Farrar sniffed the tenor's tell tale breath. N "Oh, you've had a highball." "Yes," answered the tenor in his powerful voice, "I've had several . highballs." That particular waxing was so excellent that it was released in spite of the improvised lyrics. Today the records of it are rare and are con sidered collector's items. O RECORD OF THE WEEK: Ed Sauter's arrangement of his own "Clarinet a la King" spiked the Ben ny Goodman boys on to greater heights. Benny's fluent clarinet can't be described by words and the band plays the .imaginative back ground with .definite pleasure and feeling. Reverside is the best effort vocalist Peggy "Lee has offered to date. Good also is the song she sings, "How Long Has This Been Going On." (Okeh)
