ROTC makes awards
By MARC GOLDBERG
Collegian Staff Writer
Army ROTC cadets learned yesterday that it is no
longer an insult to say, "Your mother wears combat
baits." It may become a fact of life.
Major Marion Davis, Woman's Army Corps officer,
traveled to State College from Fort Bragg, N.' - Carolina to
present several awards to University students enrolled in
the ROTC Army program.
Among awards presented were: Distinguished Military
student, Military Proficiency,- Academic Achievement,
Run for your life (for running 50 miles and multiples of 50)
and the most important, the Departrnent of the Army
ROTC Scholarships.
Recipients of three-year& scholarships were Kay
Yeakley 44th-education), Curtis Smith (4th-accounting)
and Bruce Petcovic (4th-landscape architecture). Those
receiving twQ-year scholarships are Lori Sandercock
(7th-biology) and Keith Marass (7th-political science).
Major Rolaert Morrell, recruiting officer at Penn State,
said, - The diversity of majors of our scholarship winners
indicates the diversity of the Army. We need people with
.any and all sorts of training." '
Davis said the selection process for the scholarships is
rigorous. Applicants pass through two screening com-

It is tougher for women -to enter . ROTC and obtain
scholarships than for men, Davis said.
"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.
