Open to undergraduates here, a competitive examination has been announced by the U.S. Maritime Commission for candidates for appointment as cadet (D) or cadet (E) in the Merchant Marine, Law Professor A. James Casner, head of the College's Defense Advisory Committee, said yesterday.
Properly executed applications for the examinations, with supporting papers and a transcript of school record, should be mailed to the Supervisor of Cadet Training, United States Maritime Commission, Washington, D.C. no later than midnight, November 8.
Exempt from registration for selective service, cadets engage in from three to four years of study. The third year of the course is spent ashore. While at school, cadets receive a pay of $65 per month plus a traveling allowance of five cents per mile.
In order to qualify as a cadet, candidates must be not less than 18 nor more than 25 years of age on January 1, 1942, must satisfy rigid physical requirements, and must pass a written examination in algebra, plane geometry and physics.
