You'll Be Hearing These Words:
'And If Elected I Promise..?
All the excitement and confusion of a national political campaign can be found on
campus twice each year when the student parties, Campus and Lion, begin battling to elect
candidates to office.
The function of the parties (also known as "cliques") is to nominate candidates for All-
University and class offices and then campaign to get them elected.

only clique members may vote in
the primaries, to elect candidates.;
After candidates are elected,
they lose their party affiliation
and work for the student body as
a whole, not lb- the party which
backed them.
Undergraduates interested in
becoming active in campus pol-!
itics may join either party, attend'
clique meetings and work on'
clique committees. The Lion Party
clique chairman is William
O'Neill; Campus Party's is Her

Coeds Offered
ROTC Program
Women's Air Force ROTC. in
which the University is one of 10
participating colleges, was created
for coeds interested in a career as
a commissioned officer in the Air
Force.
In time, WAF ROTC will be the
primary source for commissions in
the Air Force for women, accord
ing to the Air Force.
WAF ROTC, unlike its male
counterpart, is a purely voluntary
program and academic credit is'
received for it. Women are not
committed to join the Air Force'
until graduation, when they are
commissioned second lieutenants.
Although basic ROTC is not re-'
quired for the program, it is high-'
/3 - recommended. Women partici
pating in AFROTC must take two
years of advanced ROTC. In or
der to do this, they must pass an
officer's selection test and a phys-i
ical examination.
They are paid while training in
advanced ROTC. Interested wom
en may contact Lt. Renee Rubin.
