TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17. Behind the ROTC Que , ROTC In Repor Lawrence E. De copies of a Senate co the University. The purpose of the grams of military instru The report gives the back of the ROTC program b• tionally and at the Unive also gives current Univers' icy on ROTC and the p military instruction in a education. ROTC is required at University centers beca majority of students who the centers usually come main campus . as sophom juniors. In 1955, the provost, in : letter to the commanding gener 1, Sec ond U.S. Army, wrote: " 'e try very hard to give them at the centers the advantages the would have received had they b-.:un on the main campus. The -quire ment that all male stude , is re ceive basic military train ng has long been a tradition at e Uni versity, one which the Un versity defended in the 1930's hen it was urged to• accommodate its policy to the prevailing spirit of pacifism. We are anxious to pre serve this tradition at our centers as well as- on the main campus." The report states that the ROTC programs at the Uni- • versity, as presently carried out by each of the three services. are designed to be in full com pliance with the objective for educating students. This objec tive is "to contribute to the education of the whole person, so that he may be effective as an individual, as a participating member of_ his family, as a member of his profession, and as a person responsible to his community, his nation and to mankind." The ROTC instruction contri butes, the report says, to the stu dents' understanding of the privi leges and responsibilities of citi zenship. "University graduates are ex pected to be leaders in civilian life." the report says. "The ROTC student is offered an opportunity to learn how to exercise effectively the leadership expected of a university graduate. Standards for the ROTC program are such that instruction presents the same challenge to the stu dents that is found in academic subjects of equivalent level," the report concludes.
