First ERC Orders Due Here Monday

All orders for ERC unassigned will begin to arrive Monday, February 15, according to information available yesterday, Elliott Perkins '23, director of the War Service Information Bureau stated last night. Only a clerical delay could postpone their arrival more than two or three days.

At the same time a bulletin flashed by the First Service Command to all papers yesterday afternoon stressed that the choice of December 31 as the date determining the end of one semester and the beginning of another was final and irrevocable.

Induction by March 1

With orders arriving beginning next Monday, the date for induction of Harvard ERC men will be as near March 1 as possible. The categories of students exempt from these orders remains as last stated, the bulletin officiated.

The date at which ERC orders will arrive has been subject to much speculation, but Perkins stressed that now with the recent shift in ERC policy at last straightened out, there is every reason to believe that orders will be mailed almost immediately. Under present plans all students will receive their two weeks notice before induction.
