M Aft I A.S.T.P. and more A.S.T.P., the students were well informed on the doings of the Army Specialized Training Program and equally well prepared to see more of this group. Many a coed's dream had been shattered in the spring of 1944, when the near-ll00 Army stu- dents marched away, to be replaced by a scattered few A.S.T.R.P.'s. XVhen the student body returned to school last fall, they hoped for the best, but found only approxi- mately the same small number of seventeen-year-old Re- serves. It wasn't until mid-winter that some older men arrived-students in the Army Specialized Training Ad- vanced Program. At the present time Maine has a rela- tively few third-term Reserves and a slightly larger num- ber of regular A.S.T.P.'s-all studying advanced engineer- ing subjects. The campus set-up, as far as the Army is concerned, has changed this year to the degree that it now seems more nearly like the usual civilian routine. Both civilian and Army n1en are treated in what was last year an all-Army infirmary, the Beta house. No A.S.T.P.'s are living in fraternity houses, since Oak Hall and Hannibal Hamlin Hall will accommodate all those on campus. lt is, though, still a familiar sight to see columns of men marching from Aubert to Stevens and a familiar sound to hear these singing, whistling, or shoutini tl two-three fot eravearof .- men g ie ever-f - ll'.H This AS annllar, Hut- , to the students ' .T.U. 31145. , 15 symbolic of L
