ROTC Program Parades in -Review
(continaed from page 1)
Board of Regents at the Uni
versity at the suggestion of
the defense department that
the "basic-adv anced combina
tion meets a national need."
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. Of California
Fire thousand students at
the University of California
at Berkeley (20.000 students)
have signed petitions against
it Wisconsin, Rutgers and
Bucknell have abandoned the
compulsory ROTC program
and Ohio State and Cornell
are considering the same ac
tion, according to the Sept
5, 1960 issue of U.S. News and

Capt Weber, professor of
Naval science, reported that

mained with the Navy. The

tract ROTC ensieas for ex-i

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.
The Navy has acted to

Lyons-Masland ROTC study
states that the campus ROTC
program should have two ob
jectives: motivation for serv
ice and pre-professional pre
paration for a career, similar
to the pre-professional courses
of study in law, engineering,
and medicine which prepare
the student for his career.
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.
