A change in the status of the summer training camps including Plattsburg has been planned which will affect the plans of members of the University who have considered going to Plattsburg or to similar camps instead of joining the Reserve Officers' Training Corps in order not to obligate themselves definitely.
This change was made when an amendment to the army appropriation bill was adopted by the Senate limiting the use of the camps to people with a "term of enlistment" prescribed by the Secretary of War. The ground for the proposal of the amendment was that although in peace days civilian training might be enough, now that the country is at war, military training should not be given to those men who are not willing to give their military services to the country in return. The measure has already passed the Senate.
