Women's
ROTC
enrollment
increases
Director of the UNL Navy, Air Force,
and Army Reserve Officers Training
Corps (ROTC) programs have said there
was little change in this year's male
enrollment, but all said there was- an
enrollment increase in the women's
ROTC programs.
The Army and Air Force ROTC
programs had approximately the same
male enrollment, and the Navy sustained
a slight decrease in male enrollment.
Colonel Lyndy C. Gunderson, director
of the Air Force ROTC program, said the
number of men completing the ROTC
program across the nation has decreased,
but at UNL only the engineering division,
has shown a decrease.
One of the major reasons for the
woman's ROTC enrollment increase is
that the oroRrams nave jusi
instituted within the last several years,
Gunderson said. He said the UNL Air
Force ROTC Program will graduate its
first woman, Jan Joseph, in June.
Commander" George Florence, director
of the UNL Navy ROTC program, said
the increase in women's enrollment is
because women now realize they can
enjoy professional equality in both wages
and position, a good education, and a
chance to compete and work with men in
their field.
Florence attributed the decrease in the
Navy ROTC program to the current
attitude of many people toward the
military following the Viet Nam war. He
said the military has been considered
inhumane, and that the numerous
benefits offered aren't enough to counter
present opinions.
Gunderson said he has seen nothing at
UNL to indicate that students don't
respect the military. He attributed the
enrollment stabilization to the fact that
students don't want to commit
themselves as fully as needed to join the
service.
Colonel Lucien Rising, director of the
Army ROTC program, said an increase in
personal recruitment might increase
enrollment. He said when the objectives,
benefits, and alternatives are presented
individually to interested students, they
may consider the military and make an
educated decision.
Rising also said he hasn't noticed any
hostility toward the military on the UNL
campus and said students are quite
friendly to him.

Legislation would provide funds
for aariculture television series
Nebraskans may learn new farming and
ranching techniques from viewing television if a
bill is passed in this session of the State
Legislature.
Introduced by the Agriculture Committee,
LB405 would provide $198,000 for the
production of a new agriculture series on the
Nebraska Educational Television Network
(NETV). The funds would finance 48 weekly,
half-hour programs on NETV.
John Klosterman, David City cattleman and
chairman of an 'advisory committee studying the
series, said the programs would be designed "to
convey agricultural research and information to
farmers and ranchers."
He said the information would not be written
research but interpreted for the farmer for easier
understanding.
According to Burnijl Clark, assistant program
manager for NETV, trie series would allow this
information and research to be quickly
distributed to rural Nebraska.
"Because NETV reaches almost 99 per cent of
the land area of Nebraska," he said, "part of the
funds would be used to make people aware of
the program."
Although one NETV survey indicated only
one third of rural Nebraskans watch NETV
programming at some time during the week,
Clark said the network may not have had
anything appealing for the rest.
Most of the information reaching the farmer
would be provided by the UNL Institute of
Agriculture and Natural Resources, said Duane
Acker, vice chancellor of the institute.
The . institute includes the College of
Agriculture, the Cooperative Extension Service,
the School of Technical Agriculture at Curtis, the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, the
Conservation and Survey Division and the Water
Resources Research Institute.
Acker said information from these six
divisions would be combined and would be
aimed at all farmers and ranchers and "whoever
else is connected with agriculture."
The programs will have segments on long-term
developments in agriculture, such as prospects in
grain and beef exporting and commodity prices,
he said.
"Special . events, such as a tractor safety
field-day, also will be shown," he added.
Interviews with prominent people in
agriculture also will be shown, he said.
