Scope & Depth. Everywhere lay temptations to loaf for the next two years, forget that the Oxford tour ends with a do-or-die final examination. Officially on active duty, military Rhodesmen draw full lieutenant's pay as well as the $2,100 annual Rhodes stipend. Attached to the U.S. embassy in London, they get cut-rate PX privileges.
