"The WAC has always been smaller, and consequently more selective," she said. Davis presented the awards at a ceremony attended by ROTC students and directors. Colonel Clifford T. Kirk wood, ROTC commander at Penn State, said although America hates war, the nation must always be prepared for unforseen probleins. • "ROTC is a vital part of that preparation," he con cluded. Davis presented the awards and spoke about the op portunities for women in the Army. "The Army has been . an equal opportunity employer for years equal pay, status and priviliges," she said. She told women ROTC cadets that equality will now be extended further. Women will be required to attend the physically rigorous Advanced Summer Training Camp along with the men. Davis said the only possible effect of the Equal Rights Amendment on the Army is to raise the question of battle duty for women. Currently, women are not allowed to train or serve in combat areas. president of Kyokuyo Co., such service held by the Japan's second largest company since 1957.
