When the pre-medical, pre-dental, pre theological, and post graduate medi cal students finish their training, they will be given commissions in the Naval Reserve. Those now in the NROTC will be retained on active duty until June, 1946. Those who have not finished their training by that time will re main in the NROTC on inactive sta tus. Said Captain E. E. Hazlett, Jr., Commanding Officer of the V-12 Unit, It appears probable that at that time the NROTC will go back to a peace time status and will work on the quar ter basis rather than the present semester basis." If this happens the University will go back to the quar ter basis also.
