Air Force Seniors Called After Commencement

All graduating AFROTC students have been ordered into active military service within 120 days after graduation. Those with previous military service or intending to purpose needed technical study in graduate schools will be granted delays.

Of the 60 AFROTC students who will be commissioned from Harvard, about ten are veterans and seven have indicated they will be study medicine or business administration, Colonel Frank P. Bostrom said last night. He also stated, "As far as I know, all of last year's graduates are now on active duty except those with delays."

5,000 Called

An estimated 5,000 graduates across the nation who receive their degrees before June 30, 1952 will be called. An additional 1,800 who will have completed AFROTC instruction by that date, but will not get their commissions until they finish their educational requirements, will be ordered to active duty before May 1, 1953.

Included in the list of "needed technical fields," Bostrom mentioned medicine, dentistry, business administration, and technical specialities like nuclear physics.

Those students effected will be assigned to commands on the basis of educational qualifications and Air Force requirements, Bostrom indicated. Although they will not know their particular stations, they should have "specific assignments to commands before graduation."

Air Force Reserve 2nd Lieutenants ordered to active service will be offered an opportunity to volunteer for flying training and for training in civilian institutions in the fields of meteorology, languages, and physical sciences. Air Force training at advanced Air Force technical schools and at the United States Air Force Institute of Technology will also be offered.
