ROTC Exemption
For Vets May End
Veterans who will enter the
College in the Fall may be taking
ROTC subjects in order to get
their military experience credits,
if a plan presented to the College
Senate is approved, Col. Ben-Hur
Chastaine said yesterday.
According to the report on file
at the Registrar’s office, the Com
mittee on. Military Instruction
seeks to amend a report submit
ted by the Committee on Aca
demic Standards to read as fol
lows:
Committee Recommends
The Committee on Academic
Standards recommends that re
turning veterans who have serv
ed in the armed forces for a per
iod of 13 weeks ■ or longer, be
granted four credits for the basic
courses in physical education for
the freshman . and sophomore
.years,, and'six credits 4 equal to the
credits ; allowed 'for. '.basic courses
in ROTC, providing that the vet
eran shall have had the equivalent
training during his x service in the
armed forces.
To determine this, the military
department will screen all veter
ans to ascertain, deficiencies in
military .knowledge. When these
deficiencies exist, the veteran
shall be required to take subjects,
ROTC or others, if he wants the
six credits for basic ROTC. The
NROTC will have its own screen
ing program for Navy veterans.
Chastaine Asks Change
At the meeting of the Senate,
Col. Chastaine asked that section
C, Rule 81 of the Regulations for
Undergraduate Students be
changed to read, “Students who
are graduates of other colleges
and those who enter this College
with higher than sophomore
standing, unless they have begun
the basic course at another insti
tution.” The word “sophomore”
being substituted for the word
“freshman,” which was the previ
ous-case.
Col. Chastaine said that it is a
War Department policy to exempt
veterans from military training
unless they desire it. This pro
gram is intended for the new stu
dents that are to enter in the
Fall. He said that this would be
the case for those veterans who
desire the six credits for basic
ROTC.
