. Most Male Students to Be

In Uniform, Chosen on Democratic Basis.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (U. P)— New democratic influences will be introduced in-America’s educational system neXt spring when the armed services will select and support the majority of male students attending some 300 colleges and universities. ‘Many competent students who have been unable financially to at+ tend college will now be able to attend at government expense, with their housing and clothing furnished, on regular army pay. ‘On the other hand; many students who have lived high on liberal allowances and wasted their opportunities will find themselves éliminated and slogging in the ranks of the army. “Means Revolutionary Changes - War Secretary Henry L. Stimson admitted that the army and navy program for training specialists in colleges. means temporary destruction éf liberal arts education for tble-bodied men. If the war continues long, it may have far-reach-ing effects on the next generation

of doctors and scientists, mast of |

Universities who have not been|

chosen by the fighting services. Office of education figures show that of 837,045 male students attending institutions of higher learning in 1940-41, only 58,566, or 7 per cent, were under 18 years. Early next year most males over 18, not deferred for occupational reasons, will be swept up by the selective service and unable to continue their studies except as designated by the army or navy.. Some will be physically unfit for military duty and ‘ © may continue college on their own . initiative. Those under 18 may remain in school. But: of these

Motorman Gives

‘Rides on House'

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (U. P). — Washington had another chuckle today as the bug of rugged individualism, which seems to nest among the capital’s transit workers, bit another street car motorman, ; The hero of this latest episode took a street car, from the car barn on his day off and went joyriding, picking up passengers: and waving them past the fare box with a jaunty, “this is on me!” Police were sent to hunt for the stray car, The motorman blithely toured downtown Washington. But one woman completely lost faith. She got off the car and phoned police. A car inspector finally flagged , the car down, took over and headed for the car barn. He was stopped later by police who didn’t know everything was under control. They let bim go, but. took charge of .'the motorman on: a Charge ‘of’ drunkenfiéss.
