Miss Landers said that she

New Name Given
To Law Degree
The title of the Univesity's
law degree has been changed
by the Board of Regents from
a bachelor of laws to a juris
doctor, to be effective June
1964 and thereafter.
The reason for the change
is that most law students al
ready have one bachelor's de
gree, and most other profes
sional colleges grant a doc
tor's degree.
In other action, the Reg
ents accepted a $63,950 sup
plemental contract with the
U.S. Atomic Energy Com
mission for research by Dr.
Edgar Perlstein in the De
partment of Physics on "Im
perfections in Solids."
Low bids were accepted for

$62,700.

Pouring rain did not keep the Young Republicans
(YR's) from informing citizens that they have a duty to
vote in Tuesday's primary elections.
More than a hundred (YR's) piled into 14 automobiles
Thursday night to urge the public to vote for the Republi
can candidates of their choice. The group went down
O Street shouting and waving signs for their favorite can
didates. One of the vehicles was Acacia fraternity's
hearse.
The Lincoln City Police led the parade, clearing a path.
In addition to having their parade the YR's made it
possible for members to know the Republican candidates.
Five candidates for state offices and four spokesmen for
presidential hopefuls gave speeches before the parade.
Former Governor Robert Crosby was present to lend
support to the rally. "This is the year for young people
to go Republican," he said.
Gubinatorial candidate Dwight Burney told the group
that the nation should go Republican, and if it didn't, it
would be because the party wasn't doing its campaign
job right
Senator Don Thompson, a candidate for lieutenant gov
nor, came from McCook to speak at the rally. "Its going
to take young people with your enthusiasm to get people
to vote," he said.
Senator Willard Waldo, a candidate for lieutenant gov
nor, said that he was interested in young people and
everything good for Nebraska.
Joe Brown, candidate for railway commissioner, re
lated the importance of the job he was running for. Toby
Jewett, candidate for county commissioner, also spoke
and gave support to the rally.
' "I'm always happy to speak for the next President
of the United States," said John Reiser in support of presi
dentail hopeful William Scranton. "Let's support a man
who is in the mainstream of American political thought,"
he said.
Ken Lanka, supporting Henry Cabot Lodge, said, "He
is a man who can win."
John Mason, head of the-Nebraska for Rockefeller
write-in committee, told the group that Nelson Rockefeller
appeals to the majority of Americans.
Hal Hasselback, a member of the Lancaster YR's
gave his support for Barry Goldwater and urged others to
do likewise.

Senior Staff Writer
Freshmen who have completed two semesters
of basic ROTO courses under the compulsory pro
gram will not be required to register for the sec
ond year courses, Vice Chancellor Adam Brecken
ridge told the DAILY NEBRASKAN yesterday.
Under a ruling Friday byf
the Board of Regents, the
mandantary ROTC program
at the University was aban
doned in favor of an elective
program, beginning next falL
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
told the Regents that 40 uni
versities have taken similar
action during the last five
years.
Breckenridge said that
freshmen who have already
turned in their schedules will
be given an "opportunity to
change their mind."
The decision came after the
Board had considered all
Student Reaction
On Page 3
available information, Breck
enridge said, including the
Student Council KOTU opin
ion poll and reports from both
local and national branches
of the armed forces.
Student Council President
John Lydick said, "As far as
Student Council is concerned,
if the students are satisfied,
the Council has fulfilled its
obligation to them."
Lydick personally recom
mended that freshmen con
sider the advantages of the
four year program, adding,
"It is good that they have a
choice."
Student Council has sent the
results of the poll to the heads
of the Army and Air Force
departments at the University
and these officers then for
warded reports to the Board,
according to Bob Kerrey,
chairman of the student wel
fare committee.
The prime reason for the
abolition of compulsary ROTC
was the growing enrollment
expect in the future. "The
problem which arose was how
to handle several thousands
of young men," Breckenridge
said. "The Defense Depart
ment leaves it to individual
colleges as to whether their
ROTC programs will be com
pulsary or elective."
Breckenridge said that the
question of whether physical
education will be required
will be left to the individual
colleges. "ROTC and physical
education are separate mat
ters," he said.
Col. Elmer Powell, head of
the Army ROTC department,
said that the change will
probably reduce the Univer
sity's output of second lieu
tenants by about two-thirds,
based on comparative figures
from other universities.
"I have known that this
ruling was coming for some
time," Powell said. "The
Board of Regents are the
proper authority to make such
VI

ifiif
a ruling. It follows a patters
of other colleges and univer
sities."
In a statement which will
be released to all Army ROTC
cadets in classes today and
tomorrow, Powell said "I am
confident that it was not the
intention of the Board of Re
gents to decrease the number
or quality of Nebraska's con
tribution to leadership In the
nation's armed forces. It is a
challenge to you to every citi
zen of the state to see that
the elective system is effec
tive." Powell continued that
14,000 new second lieutenats
are required each year and
that about 9,000 are furnished
by the Military Academy at
West Point and college ROTC
programs.
"I believe in ROTC as the
American way of providing
dedicated leadership for duty
as citizen-soldiers. I regret
that history will record that
under the leadership of Gen.
John Pershing, ROTC was
made a required subject for
three years and while CoL.
Elmer Powell was in charge,
the course was changed to
elective," Powell continued.
The prospect of a further
change in the University's
ROTC program will come if a
congressional bill passes,
which waives the two basic
years in favor of a summer
camp and provides for a scho
larship program. Kerrey
said that the bill is currently
postponed indefinitely until
after the Ova Rights bill
comes to a vote.
Concerning the congression
al action, Powell said "T h e
new legislation on ROTC pro
vides for a $50 per month re
tainer fee for the 20 months
of the advanced course. I
have good reason to believe
that this scholarship money
will be avaliable in 1965."
In the meantime, the ROTC
program will continue as it is
at the present time, according
to Vice Chancellor G. Robert
Ross, dean of Student Af
fairs. Chancellor Clifford
Hardin was unavailable for
comment.
Experience over the next
four or five years will answer
most of the questions about
the effects of the ruling on the
program at the University,'
Col. George Sullivan, profes
sor of Air . Science said. "The
officer production in some
schools has dropped when
the course was made volun
tary, but in other schools lt
has remained the same.".
Maj. George Haag, assist
ant professor of Air Science,
called the action a step in the
right direction towards the
modernization of the ROTC
program.
Capt. W. G. Weber, profes
sor of Naval Science, said
that the decision probably
won't have any effect on the
number of officers produced
by the Navy ROTC depart
ment because most of the men
who enter the Navy program
are men who will enter it
whether it is compulsory or
elective.
"I think it is a good tiring,"
he said. "Essentially, with
leveled defense requirements
and expanding population,
there should be a lesser and
lesser requirement for any
mandatory program, ROTC
or draft. I think the Board of
Regents could see this in their
decision."
Hardin told the Board that,
of the 247 colleges in the na
tion which offer ROTC, only
40 of their programs are com
pulsory. Powell told the
DAILY NEBRASKAN yester
day that an additional 60 col
leges which are not land
grant schools have required
ROTC courses.
Sen. Roman Hruska, when
contacted in Washington Sat
urday night, said that military
training must be offered at
all land grant schools. The
final decision as to whether
the course should be required
rests with the Board of Re
gents. The Department of De
fense in 1961 notified the
University of this choice.
With the Regents' ruling,
there remains only one school
in the state which requires
basic ROTC, Creighton Uni
versity in Omaha. The Uni
versity is among the 53 uni
versities in the nation which
offers instruction in all three
services.
