Virginia University Campus Highlights By Bill Halstein
Morgantown June 5 Tomorrow marks the time when students will approach the campus for summer school registration but for those with engineering school ambitions classes have been in session a week. Many students pledge to the army and navy are making rounds in state cities before going to war. Notable visitors include Garland Moran Jr Mickey Pressel Thomas Barber Brooks Evans and Jane Ann Rolland among others. Fraternities may pledge these men during the summer term contrary to tradition. Many Mountaineers pursue pre medical and engineering tracks while others attend other institutions for the summer. ROTC graduates return from Ft Hayes for a 14 day leave before reporting to duty. Local girls shift to practical work positions in defense industries or offices while men march to training and service. The Charleston Gazette, June 6, 1943.
