I course in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, receiving the financial benefits and preparation for leadership accruing thereto, the following will govern: Members of varsity teams shall be excused from basic military training periods when absences are due to actual conflict with practice sessions, out-of-town trips, or home games of the teams to which they belong; and will not be required to make up such absences. Such absences shall be reported to the Commandant by the Secretary of the Committee on Student Affairs in accordance with University rules pertaining to group absences. All varsity athletes taking basic Military Training will normally register for sections which do not interfere with regular practice hours for the sport concerned, and which do not meet on days normally used for athletic competitions with other universities?. Special cases in which a conflict is unavoidable will be decided by the Dean of Men after considering the recommendations of the heads of the departments concerned. h. A student who has had military training in a junior ROTC unit, in a secondary school, where an officer of the Regular Army is detailed as Professor of Military Science and Tactics, may, upon the recommendation of the Military Department of the University, be exempt from required basic military training at the rate of one semester for each school year of military training satisfactorily completed in such secondary school. Similarly, a student entering the University from an essentially military school having a junior unit of the ROTC ? may be exempt from required basic military training at the rate of one semester for each semester of military training satisfactorily completed in such essentially military school. To obtain credit for basic military training toward eligibility for the advanced course, students qualified for exemption under the preceding paragraph will be required to pass proficiency examinations, as provided in rule 30, page 11, 1941 edition, Regulations Applying to Undergraduate Students. 14. Students Excusable by Petition For reasons other than those mentioned in paragraph 13 ; students to be excused from military or to have their military work deferred, must first register for military and then submit a petition through the Headquarters of the Military Department to the Dean of Men for action. Petitions will be granted only for exceptional reasons. FEES* 15. Payable in Advance Fees assessed for any semester are due and payable in full when the student registers. •For the schedule of regular University fees—the matriculation fee, the incidental fee, the diploma fee, etc.—see the Annual Register.
