Wilson's desire to strengthen the Guard in order to make it "a solid base" upon which to construct the country's military organization has resulted in a mandatory six-month, active-duty training period for all Guardsmen and Reservists who enlist after April first. This six-month period will be a minimum training requirement for all branches of the service, with one minor exception in the case of men under 18 1/2 years of age in the National Guard...
Even more significant than House sections can be imaginative efforts to enlist more faculty interest in the House and to bring all levels of teachers into a closer relation to its function. At present, this is virtually impossible because of the pressure of numbers. The Houses are filled to overflowing, and only when new Houses are built can room be made for more teachers--either as residents or as close associates.

This allowance is the same granted in the six-month reserve program. But this means that those enlistees who go to college must drop a term, and those beginning careers will also be seriously inconvenienced. The NGA's proposal...
