This may provoke further discussion of the peace trip, but it

Developments point to a belief that:
army recruiting officers considered
the colleges as recruiting ground for
the various services, and the admin-
istration that could whisk away stu-
dents after two days to a week of
"study" at the college where they reg-
istered into a division of the army, is
