Actually, Chancellor Hardin said, we are required by the Morrill Act of 1862 only to provide an ROTC program on campus. When the Defense Depart ment no longer established the basic-advanced program ; as a "national need , thearnia the Hegents will be in a po sition to reevaluate their present rulings, the Chancel lor added. For the past two years on campuses around the nation compulsory ROTC has been under fire. At Michigan State University (enrollment: 19, 000) the faculty voted 400 to 248 to abolish compulsory ROTC. . At Arizona State University with 10,000 students enrolled. Individuals collected 750 sig natures on an anti-ROTC pe tition and got another 1500 signatures at Tucson's Uni versity of Arizona. Univ.

The Navy, said Capt. Weber,, recognizing the turn over of enlisted men, has ini tiated the Star program which provides additional education and officer training for men who volunteer to remain with the Navy for a minimum of six years. The other services have similar programs which endeavor to supplement the broadly educated personnel turned' oat by the ROTC pro grams, However, this opinion was voiced by Col. Powell, pro fessor of military science: "As we consider the estab- lishment of a strictly profes j sional military force, we must in mind that no nation Revolution, where British and foreign professionals faced the American people, fell to the non-professional." Failure The failure of the services to sell their ROTC programs has also been cited as one of the basic weaknesses.

Other suggestions include stripping the curricula of all instruction that either dupli cates instruction available in regular academic depart inents or is instruction of a military kind which is more effectively carried out in mili tary installations.
