THE DAILY,COUEpiAb|., SWE COLLEGE,; PENNSYLVANIA -
Future of
“Why do we have to take
ROTC and what is its future?"
many freshmen ask.
The first question is not new
to the Penn State campus, for
thousands who have gone before
you have asked the same.
It all started in 1862 when Con
gress passed the Land Grant Act
which provided monetary aid to
colleges and universities. In 1863
Penn State was established as the
land-grant college of Pennsyl
vania and under this act was re
quired to provide military instruc
tion.
In 1865, the administration car
ried its obligation one step fur
ther and made military instruction
compulsory for all male students.
This is why you must take
ROTC.
In recent years the merits of
compulsory military education
have been examined many times.
At present, the SGA Commit
tee on ROTC is examining the
possibility of eliminating the pro
gram. It also is considering the
possibility of requesting the elim
ination of tire program, It also is
considering the possibility of sub
stituting in its place the training
program for President Kennedy’s
Peace Corps.
In addition, last spring, the
U.S. Air Force introduced a
bill in Congress to eliminate
the compulsory Air Force pro
gram and replace it with an
officer education program.
Under this program, a competi
tive examination would be used
to select participants. Those se
lected would be given yearly
scholarships of $2200. Military
training would be reserved for
summer camp and education
would be stressed during the
school year.
This would practically force the
Army to discontinue its compul
sory program. It could not handle
the number of students which
would be left by the discontinu
ation of the Air Force program,

ROTC, Lt. John D. Little of the
Air Force, said recently.
The purpose of this group is to
re-evaluate the total aspects of
the officer education program, he
explained. However, he added, no
definite date has been set for the
completion of the group’s study.
Thus, the future of ROTC is
undecided, so march cheerfully
and look forward to the day YOU
can make the choice.
