Military instructors f eel
that the students would not
be exposed to military atti
tudes and protocol under: a
civilian Instructor, ' and that
the student needs this expos
ure so that he rill know how
to conduct himself upon re
ceiving his commission.
. Nevertheless, the basic
cause 'for concern is simple
among those within the pro
gram who feel that a change
is necessary all the services
need the officers that are
products of ROTC training.
As one Armv official nut. it.
"We're looking for an officer
that has a broad collegiate
background, and it's cheaper
to net. wis individual off a
college campus than it is to
train mm ourselves."
A good example of the move
toward liberalization can be
seen in the Air Force ROTC
curriculum for advanced (ju
nior and senior) cadets at the
University.
A major change in the last
two years has been a switch
to Instruction through semin
ar and discussion sessions
with "eye to eye contact,"
according to Col. William L.
McKay, director, of aerospace
studies and a graduate of
Wayne State College.
McKay said that those parts
of the curriculum taught by
seminar never have a class
containing more than 20 stu
dents. The average now is
about 15 per class.
Another aspect of the trend
toward liberalization includes
frequent guest appearances
by professors and lecturers
from the local colleges.
"We use civilian teachers
and guest lecturers in the
area of financial counselling,
and we ask professors from
the speech department to lec
ture during the instruction
block on communications.
"So you can see that we try
to do our best with the local
talent," McKay said.
Comparing officers he has
been associated with during
his past 25 years of service,
the colonel said there is "no
question that the instructors
here rate at the top."
Capt. Arthur Mullen, profes
sor of Naval Science' and
c o m m a n d e r of the Navy
ROTC department at the Uni:
versity, said that the Navy in
structors are nominated for
the University by the Navy,
and the credentials of the in
structors are examined by the
University.
"The Bureau of Naval Per
sonnel is familiar with the re
quirements of each universi
ty, and they will not send an
instructor here unless he is
qualified." Mullen said. :
lie added that in the three
and one-half years he has
been here, the University has
never turned down a Navy
ROTC teaching appointment.
Regarding the quality of the
courses, Mullen said he con
siders naval science courses
on an equal footing with oth
er University courses con
cerning difficulty of subject
matter and equal value in
benefits attained.
He added that, if the student
is denied credit for courses
in . Naval science, it would

mean that he would have to
remain in school an addition'
al semester to make up for
the 24 hours of Naval Science
he is required to take to get
a commission.
Bishop said the training
that an ROTC cadet receives
supplements his other Univer
sity 'courses, and he agreed
with Capt. Mullen that the
cadet should not be denied
credit.
"I have no doubt in my min
that ROTC is just as valuable
in developing the yound man
as some of his other courses,"
he said. "The courses in the
Army program are designed
for giving background to and
developing leadership in the
student.
Some of the students also
had comments about their re
spective program's quality,
"If all the 1 n s t r u c t i o n
throughout the University
was taught in as clear, con
else and organized manner as
the material in the ROTC pro
grams, I would have learned
a lot more, said Don Critch
field, a senior in the Army
program.
Gary Hubbard, an advanc
ed Air Force cadet, said that
his instructors are "real good
in their fields" of training.
"The Air Force program
has improved," he said. "It
has become a lot more mili
tary and it is designed for
people in technical fields who
exercise any sort of leader
ship. It also puts you in a po
sition where you are taught
to organize."
Richard Anthony of the Col
lege Press Service said it is
possible that no natter how
open and free-wheeling the
ROTC curricula become, they
are aimed at teaching men to
make war.
He adds that this nature of
the programs may ultimately
turn out to be the sticking
point in any attempt to de
fend the presence of ROTC on
college campuses.
Locally, John Hughes of
SDS said he believes that
ROTC is out of place at any
other university.
"It is a symbol of the mili
tarization of American life,"
he said. "The purpose of the
military is the regulation of
ideas, and the purpose of the
university is the expression
of ideas. The aim of one to
ward the other is antagonis
tic."
The draft perpetuates the
ROTC programs, according
to Hughes, and the incentive
behind the p r o g r a m s is to
form a channel of escape for
students who would not be
in the program if the draft
did not exist.
He added that the military,
in his words, is not a demo
cratic institution and it does
not build a man to partici
pate in a democracy but it
teaches him only to take or
ders.
Capt. Mullen, on the other
hand, said that the Universi
ty is the most appropriate
place to conduct ROTC be
cause the future leaders of
the world are trained in all
fields of endeavor there, and
military training is one of the
most significant aspects of
society.

Poveda, from the University
of Mexico and member of the
visiting faculty in the depart
ment of physics at the Uni
versity, says he feels astrono
my is an area in which the
University could improve.
"I think that astronomy is
a field which any modern
university cannot ignore, par
ticularly in a day in w h i c h
space science is becoming al
most a part of everyday life,"
Poveda said. He also stressed
"a big university like this
cannot afford to do nothing
about astonomy and . astro
physics." "It has to do sometning in
the future."

the University were very
limited However, Poveda ex
pressed pleasure with the
number of graduate students
(six) who are taking a semi
nar course in astro-physics
from him. Poveda said the
University only offered one
undergraduate course in ele
mentary astronomy last year
and he did not expect to have
nearly as many students as
he has.
Besides teaching the semi
nar Poveda is continuing his
research, which he says is
"connected with the forma
tion of runaway stars."
"Runaway stars," Poveda
explained, "are stars of high
mass that move at high ve
locity to places away from

their formation."
The astro-physicist started
his research of runaway stars
'at the observatory at the Uni
versity of Mexico and plans
to continue his work there
this summer.
; In France Poveda started
another area of research
which deals with "energy and
mass liberated by super nova
explosions." He said "super
nova (exploding stars) eject
large amounts of mass and
energy which leads to c o m-
plete destruction of the star,
or a minor accident in the
life of the star."
The 37 year old asto-physi-cist
grew up in Merida, the
capitol of the state of Yuca
tan, located in the Southeast
ern jungles of Mexico. After
finishing high school Poveda
entered the University of
Mexico in Mexico City where
he earned his bachelors and
masters degrees in physics.
Encouraged by his col
leagues in physics at the Uni
versity of Mexico, Poveda de
cided to do graduate work at
the University of California
at Berekeley. There he re
ceived a PHD in astro-physics.
After completing his re
search work and seminar
course at the university this
spring, Poveda is planning to
return to Mexico City to join
his wife and two children and
to continue his research at
the University of Mexico.

Police tactics at the March
4 Wallace Convention in
Omaha have been criticized
in a statement submitted to
the governor by four gradu
ate students in the Universi
ty School of Social Work.
The criticism will be pre
sented to the public in an
open meeting at the Cotner
School of Religion Sunday
night under the sponsorship
of the Mennonite Fellowsnip,
according to Alan Penner.
Two of the authors, Law
rence Kimsey and Paul Un
ruh, will be present to discuss
the paper.
The statement describes
the American Party Conven
tion as it progressed through
the evening and concentrates
particularly on action taken
by the Omaha City Police
when the protestors began
tearing up their placards and
throwing them towards Wal
lace on the podium.

Zucker said he believes that

would be of great benefit to
student welfare.

began removing the group
from the auditorium. The in
cidents described were:

ers hit and threw chairs at
them.

more than one policeman
while being beaten by sever

Landis would like to see
ASUN examine and attempt
to spell out the general edu
cational philosophy of stu
ents in order to provide the
administration and faculty
with a guideline. '
Jeanne Adkins, a freshman
in A&S, is in favor of elimi
nating a separate ASUN com
mittee on conferences in fav
or of one that is united with
the Union Talks and Topics
Committee.
Miss Adkins said that such
a committee would be finan
cially stronger and could pro
vide a better program which
would reach more students if
the talks are scheduled on dif
ferent days and at different
times.
Progress reports of senate
proceedings were among the
things Steve Fuscher, Busi
ness Administration junior
proposed. He emphasized the
importance of better commu
nication between the senators
and their constituents.
One way this might be
achieved, he added, was to
conduct forums during which
students might let their sena
tors publically know griev
ances and suggestions.
David Rasmussen, Business
Administration sophomore,
suggested that the ASUN be
gin to take a more forceful
stand on issues which affect
many students such as open
houses.

a policeman was ob
served forcefully pinning a 14
year old girl against the wall
with his night stick across
her back.
a Wallace supporter was
observed using & metal chair,
club fashion, for striking a
youth.
MACE was used on at
least two protestors. These
two protestors were unable to
open their eyes, were , per
spiring profusely and ap
peared dazed and in a great
deal of pain.
at no time was it ob
served that the police inter
vened in behalf of the dem
onstrators who were being
physically abused by the Wal
lace supporters.
at no time did we observe
any protestor physically
abuse any Wallace supporter.
The paper went on to ques
tion the methods used by the
police to remove the demon
strators and recommended
that "a complete study and
investigation be given to the
police procedures and meth
ods used at the Wallace Con
vention." phasis was put on "pet proj
ects," and noted that while
these might be important to
some people," that the sen
ate should serve as well as
possible the individual needs
of students.
More cooperation between
ASUN and dorms is a major
issue according to Brian Rid
enour, Business Administra
tion junior. He also noted that
issues like open houses were
an area where ASUN could
play a more active role.
He added that he hoped to
work with the advisory board
within his college and insti
gate improvements in the
school.

sophomore from Teachers Col

mittee work kept up. She
note d t h e model UN, the
World in Revolution Confer

saying that things like this
were valuable to the students.
She added that she would
like to see an Afro-American
history course added , to the
University curriculum and
that she would work on that
proposal.
