The recommendations wo to include instruction common to the three military services. Citi zenship education, civil defense . and survival training would also be incorporated in the program. John Bott, chairman of the ROTC study committee which made the report, told Cabinet members that the proposals are somewhat of a compromise be tween the present system and a completely voluntary program. One of the recommendations adopted calls for the University to give "serious consideration" in the future to abolishing com pulsory ROTC altogether. In addition, it was recommended that the ROTC departments be in corporated into a School of Mili tary Affairs and Civilian Defense with a civilian administrator as its director. Bott said that a first, year of 1 general instruction would give the student a better chance to choose the service he would like best. It would also give the ROTC units a chance to recruit top students for their detachments, he said. The proposals would provide for three years of advanced ROTC and also recommend that the Army and Air Force expand their summer programs to include most of the technical learning and drill. Bott said the Army has already taken one step in this direction. Instruction on the M-1 rifle will be given in the summer instead of during the winter months, he said. Along these same lines, Cabinet recommended that the advanced program emphasize aspects of military training which the Uni versity is best qualified to ad minister.

Miss McFarland said she thought the present policy of a warding compensations to students in charge of various campus activities was unfair. This unfairness, she said, was due to the uneven amounts of distribution which did not re flect on the amount of work put into an activity. She suggested that the finance] committee study the possibility of creating an expense account system to take care of expenses incurred in chairing a student government activity. Women's Student Government Association President Jessie Jan igian pointed out that no WSGA officers receive compensations and the work entailed in their office is as time-consuming as other student government posi tions.

Protests came from within and without the 186,000 member patri otic society, Delegates took cognizance of what was termed newspaper criti cism and - voted an emergency resolution to affirm their stand that the United States should withdraw from the Unified Nations and the United Nations should be removed from T.J.S. soil. Mrs. Harry Ogden of Rosedale, Miss., who proposed the motion from the floor, said she wanted to make sure it was understood the DAR still opposed the U.N. as it had voted to do last year. The U.N. issue created the most discussion and opposition that ob servers have seen in some time 'at DAR congresses. It came up after the delegates voted on 20 policymaking resolutions. Although only about 100 of the 2449 voting delegates rose in op position to the U.N. stand, it was a considerable demonstration by DAR standards.
