universities hitherto closed by military regulations, as far as the military auth-
orities  are  concerned,   stated   Thomas  R.  Bodine of the National Student Relocation
Council   in Philadelphia.
    The US Cadet Nurse Corps likewise accepts nisei, and nursing students are urged
to make use of this opportunity.   Mrs. Nelle S. Parks, chief nurse, of the center
hospital may be   contacted  for   further   information.
   Bodine’s plans for a return visit to the center next Thursday were abdicated due
to  travel   conditions  but   he   hopes  to  return during  February.    .
   The Student Relocation Council will continue to help students throughout the
next year, assured   Bodine, and prospective college, students are urged to correspond
