Col. Howard J. Withycombe. The Army ROTC program offers G student the oppor- tunity to combine his military duties with academic prepara- tion for his future career. Training follows the general Military Science curriculum and consists of two years basic and two years advanced courses. Completion of the program leads to a reserve commission of second lieuten- ant in any branch of the Army; distinguished military students may receive appointments to the Regular Army. Aims of the program are to prepare young men for posi- tions of command and to de- velop in them essential knowl- edge and characteristics of an officer. Subjects common to all branches of the Army are included in the curiculum, such as psychology of leadership, personnel management, mili- tary administration, map and photograph reading, military operations and logistics, weap- ons and their uses and the procedures relating to com- mand and staff. A F R O T C R O T C Objectives of the Air Force ROTC unit are to attract the highest type of personnel into the US Air Force and its civil- ian components; to develop in all cadets an understanding of modern warfare and the place and function of air power in the defense of the United States; and to qualify AFROTC cadets to perform duties nor- mally expected of a junior Air Force officer. The basic course is design- ed to familiarize the student with the characteristics of air power, weapons and operations. Other activities provide cadets with the opportunity to parti- cipate in the cadet band, drill team, rifle team and news- paper. Advanced cadets who quali- fy for pilot training are given thirty-five to forty hours of flight instruction during their senior year. Lt. Col. Charles H. Calhoun.

i Miss Vivian M. Duxbury, Dean, School of Nursing N u r s i n g The FSU School of Nursing is the only one in the state approved for Federal Traineeships and now has enrolled many students on both state and federal scholarships. The School offers two programs; both include the full general educa- tion requirements of the University, giving the pro- spective nurses a solid foundation on which to base their professional education. The Bachelor of Sci- ence in Nursing includes a basic program designed for people with little or no previous training in nursing, and gives them experience in working with hospital patients and with public health work. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education pre- pares those nurses who are already registered for leadership in public health, teaching, super- vision, administration, and other related areas. Although the first nurs- ing students were not ad- mitted until 1950, grad- uates already number over one hundred and are to be found in many for- eign countries, as well as in the United States.
