Mark Annual
f Navy Day'
‘Queen' Vi ill Reign
Over Celebration
On October 27
Special Navy Day ceremonies are in
the first stages this week as the Uni
versity and the Naval Pre-Flight
Training School are making plans to
have a joint celebration of the na
tion-wide day, Oct. 27, to honor the
men of the sea forces.
A “Queen of Navy Day” will reign
supreme from dawn to dusk during
the day long proceedings. She will
be the girl who is selected as the
number one beauty at the annual
Pandora parade a week from next
Tuesday. All of the details have not
been worked out yet but she will
probably have a part in the program.
Some important speaker will be
imported for the occasion. Officials
have contacted one or two likely
prospects but no answer has been
forthcoming. There is a small possi
bility that a major part of the pro
ceedings will be broadcast and as
things are shaping up at present,
there may be newsreel cameramen
in Athens to record the affair.

Itt'prt'seiilutiveii to
Visit r.nmpiift
Hepresentativea from the Army,
Navy, and Marine Corps will visit
the University campus about Decem
ber 8 to tell male students about
heir respective reserve enlistment
plans, according to William Tate,
deun of students, in an address to
freshmen and sophomores in the
University Chapel Monday. Two
on the campus to sign students, and
on tlie sampus to sign students, and
will not be allowed to discuss the
merits of each branch.
"The purpose of this is to prevent
the different arms of the service
from competing with each other,"
Dean Tate said. "Students will have
time to think It over."
Policies of the government con
cerning reserve enlistments are con
stantly chunging, he reminded stu
dents, emphasizing the fact that,
nothing can be certain in the present
emergency. Students under 20, if
in reserves, can probubly finish at
least this year, however, he believes.
"Mauy mon expecting to finish
their college education will be draft
ed and many men not expecting to
do so may finish," Dean Tate said.
"Take all the math, physics, and
other science you can get," he urged.
The quota for the It. O. T. C. ad
vanced has been increased, accord-
lug tO him, but no new instructors
can be obtained. Second basic stu
dents should know by Christmas if
they have been accepted for ad
vanced.
“1 believe that It is patriotic for
a student to stay in college as long
us he is able," the dean said, "be
cause every branch of the service Is
anxious to get college graduates."

"catching” rides to and from

This statemenl is made as a
preventative measure because of
the large amount of out-of-state
traffic now passing through Ath

(lirls "hitch-hiking" should
always travel with at least one
companion and should nut ac

not know.

Several less important reasons for
students dropping out of the Univer
sity Include the availability of good
paying positions with Institutions
which have lost to the Army, Navy,
and Marines, and also the need for
workers in defense industries.
A distribution survey of the figures
show that far more than half of the
registrants for the 1942-43 school
year are men with the women trail
ing far behind. By actual count,
there are now 1.264 men and 846
women. This condition is the exact
reverse of last year when the women
far out-numbered the men. Because
of the large numhr of men who have
recently entered the armed services,
officials expeetd the women to be
in the lead on the final tabulation.

their college plans early to attend
