This Too Would Honor Those In the Service

Plans are in the offing for t he preparation of a wall plaque forming an Honor Roll for alum­ni and former students now serving in the United States Armed forces. The Student Coun­cil plans to serve as a l!'eneral committee in charge, with the assistance of various sub-com­mittees composed of the other clubs and organ­izaztions on the campus. In the future the fac­ulty will be asked to give assistance in numer­ous capacities.

Such an Hono.r Roll should be formed , kept up and started as soon as possible. Each and every one of us should be willing to lend a few hours of our spare time to this work. We should feel t hat it is not only our duty but also an hon­or to l)elp. Other colleges have already made such liSts ... Glenville State •College must not lag behind. But lagging behind is not the im­portant factor . . . The important thing is that each person who has gone out from this insti­tution and is now serving his country should re­eeive the recognition that is due him. There are even those who have given their lives and oth­ef!! that will. What more can we do than be willing to say, "Yes! I'll be there to h elp. Just set the time and tell me wl:at to do. I'll do my very best !"-Helen Taylor.

W ASHINGTO.N, D. C. (ACP)-The ArmJ' Specialized Training Program, which is now providing college trainng for thousands of Army men in more than 200 colleges and uni­versities throughout the nation, will be contin­ued despite rumors to the contrary which have been circulated within recent weeks.

"The number of soldiers assigned for train­ing under the A. S. T. P .," Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson recently stated, "will be changed from time to time in accord with the needs of the army and available manpower. It is now being somewhat reduced but may later be increased or still further reduced u the needs of the military situation or military train­ng make advisable."

At the present time, about 140,000 men are being trained under the A. S. T. P.
