upperclass cooperation will be es-i

will be living in upperclass resi-,
dence halls, the board felt.
The customs board wants to
transform the "apathy of the
upperclassmen into enthusi
asm." Miss Black said that cus
toms is "an educational period
and not a hazing period."
The board offered preliminary
suggestions on customs including
the freshman women having a
19:30 pm. curfew instead of up
iperclass hours during orientation
'week and the customs period.
This would allow time for meet
ings with their counselors.

perclassmen to ask freshmen dur
ing customs to be placed in class
buildings and residence halls.
The group is considering several
ways of ending the customs pe
riod.
Nurick said that Frank J. Simes,
dean of men, was "100 per cent
behind the customs board" and
had offered suggestions on how
customs should end.,
In an effort to get full co
operation for customs, letters
will be sent to graduate coun
selors and junior resident coun
selors in the women's residence
halls and to the counselors in
the men's halls. These letters
will urge them to stress the
importance of customs to both
upperclassmen and fredlunen,

Officials Disagree
On Need for ROTC
By KAREN HYNECKEAL
Fourth of a Series
Having heard from the stu
dents on the ROTC issue, we
shall do an "about face" today
and hear from the men behind
,the scenes. To do this, it is ne
cessary to go to Washington
and the Department of De
`fense.
Since the ROTC program wa.s
first instituted, the department(
has left it up to the individual s
institutions as to whether this
program will be on a voluntary
or compulsory basis.
However, the department's
opinion, was recently expressed
by Assistant Secretary of De
fense Charles C. Finucane.
"Compulsory basic ROTC is not
needed to meet quality stand
ards nor is it needed to produce
the number of officers re
quired," Finucane said.
According to the Department
of the Army, however, ROTC is
an important part of the national;
supply of manpower as the Army
receives the majority of its offi
cers through this program.
' Statistically, the Army esti
mates that it will need 14,000
new officers a year for the next
10 years. The Defense Depart
ment estimates that a total en
rollment of 112,000 in ROTC at
Ithe beginning of any fiscal year
is needed to produce 14,000 offi
cers four years later.
It also estimates that it corn-

pulsory basic ROTC is main
tained at the schools that now
have it, total Army ROTC en
rollments will be 300,000 in
1970 or nearly 270 per cent of
the required number.
The Department also predicts
that the Air Force will have 77,-
000 enrolled in - excess of require
ments in 1961.
Local opinion on compulsory
ROTC was expressed by Col,
William C. Pelton, associate pro
fessor of military science and tac
tics and Col. Orin H. Rigley, Jr.,l
professor of air science. They;
,agreed that their departments are',
'not concerned with the voluntary ,
versus compulsory aspects of
ROTC but only with "offering the
most thorough and most bene
ficial program possible."
Capt. John P. Roach, head of
the naval science department,
said that he feels the ROTC
training is essential if men are
to become intelligent United
States citizens. "Since 50 per
oral of the federal budget is
spent on the military forces, it
is desirable and useful to under
stand why lead how that money
is spent." he said.
Changes in the present ROTC
program will be discussed in the
next article of this series.
