ROTC enrollment bouncing back
Although UNL ROTC enrollment recently has hit
"rock bottom," Col. John E. Wolter, head of UNIX's Air
Force ROTC detachment, said he is optimistic that enroll
ment is on an upswing.
Only 20 freshmen participated in the Air Force ROTC
program last year, Wolter said. That put enrollment be
low minimum level and put the detachment on probation,
he said.
This year about 30 freshmen participate in the pro
gram, and the probation soon will be lifted, Wolter said,
A great dealof emphasis this past year was put on re
cruiting and "people are responding," he said.
Wolter said the situation with UNL's ROTC program
reflects the situation of the national All-Volunteer Armed
Forces.
After the end of the Vietnam war, there was a lack of
interest, Wolter said. When the draft ended in 1973, re
cruiting became a very important part of the military,
he said. Nationally, recruiting costs in 1976 soared to

$600 million, as opposed to $168 million in 1971, he said.
Some of the decline in manpower since the end of the
Vietnam war has been balanced by the decline in demand
for manpower, he said.
The number of persons the national armed forces ac
cept as officers from the country's ROTC programs has
declined, Wolter said. Fifty percent of the money involved
in the military goes to personnel, he said. So when
military funding is lowered at the end of a war, manpower ,
also is cut, he said.
However, if enlistment continues to fall, Wolter said
the return of the draft is a possibility.
"There has been talk of it (the draft) at the national .
le,vel," he said.
Wolter said that, judging by the mood of the country,
he would not be surprised if eventually women were in
cluded in the draft, as well as men; But he said he does
not think women would be involved in combat duty.
