program.
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.

officers from next year's budget.
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

officers receive compensations

office is as time-consuming as

DAR Affirms
Anti-UN Stand
WASHINGTON UP) The DAR
became embroiled in controversy
yesterday over its stand against
U.S. membership in the United
Nations and its criticism of the
U.N. Children's Fund.
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.
