...They Run the Army." For his new assignment Wooldridge wears a specially designed lapel insignia. Though the rank brings no increase in his $657.30-a-month pay, it carries with it some perquisites that a mere major general might envy.

Many students, especially engineers and science majors, intend to move on to graduate school, either in hopes of avoiding the draft or to prepare themselves for the extra $100-a-month starting salary that degree-happy head hunters will, on the average, pay for a master's certificate. Also, more students than in previous years will go directly into the armed forces. At Georgia Tech, where 15 out of 1,000 seniors entered military service last June, 150 members of a similar-sized class...
