If a statement issued yesterday by the Naval Science Department is to be taken at its face value, there is a good chance that Naval Science students will be summoned to active duty as soon as they graduate.
The brief memorandum, signed by Captain George N. Barker, professor of Naval Science and Tactics, ran as follows: "Unless there is great improvement in world-wide conditions, each Naval ROTC student should make plans now for active duty afloat after graduation."
According to Captain Barker, the notice is merely routine, stating something which has been known to undergraduates for a long time. It is not to be interpreted as a precedent, he said, nor as the forerunner of a general call.
