The Pueblo President Knowjes Speaks Out: ROTC Belongs On Campus Under present world conditions it seems essential that the United States maintain a large and effective military establishment. Failure to do this would be to risk the loss of our hard won free- doms. Military forces such as are needed to defend our democracy today require substantial numbers of officers who must be trained in service academies operated by the federal government, in officer candidate schools, or in ROTC programs in civilian colleges. Students who com- plete ROTC curricula receive commis- sions either in the regular army or in the reserve forces at the time of their gradu- ation from college. Choice of a commis- sion as a regular army officer is at the option of the individual student provided that he qualifies. Less than one quarter of the military Dfficers commissioned each year are the oroduct of service academies or officer :andidate schools. The remaining three quarters of the total number commis- sioned are the product of ROTC pro- grams conducted in some 250 civilian col- eges and universities throughout the Jnited States. This arrangement suits jdmirably the requirements of a demo- cratic society not desiring to establish a dominant military class and conforms to the fundamental principle of having citi- zen soldiers controlled by the citizenry. Northeastern University ' s Depart- ment of Military Science was established in 1951 and has been an integral part of education programs in the Basic Colleges ever since. Officers assigned by the Army to administer the ROTC program at Northeastern (with prior approval of the President of the University) have been carefully selected, well educated men, personally qualified for service in a uni- versity community, who nave shared helpfully In student and faculty affairs. Tliey have wotted hafltanst 9« V 3?6 for excellence in their Department and towards its integration in the overall pro- gram of the University. The ROTC pro- vides opportunities of interest to students from different backgrounds and with widely varying academic interest, but no student at Northeastern University is required to enroll in courses offered by the Department of Military Science. The basic ROTC program is populated en- tirely by volunteers and is. offered during the first two years. Students are free to withdraw from the ROTC at the end of the basic program if they so desire. Those who elect and are admitted to the advancer ••ou- ses offered during the final three yes s of the baccalaureate cur- ricula acovV- ' - a knowledge of military matters «i ' vl a training in leadership which equip them to become officers in the United States Army. The Department of Military Science is an academic de- partment of the University and appropri- ate academic credit is granted for the courses in Military Science. The program has many specific ad- vantages for students who are enrolled. They receive regular compensation at the rate of $50 per month while they are in training. An extensive and generous scholarship program providing both 4- year and 2-year scholarships for ROTC cadets has recently been established by the Department of the Army. Several Northeastern cadets have been recipients of these awards. Since the program is wholly optional and valued highly by many members of the Northeastern community, there would seem to be every reason for sustaining it. The concept that a majority of the officers in the armies of a demo- cracy should be educated in the nation ' s colleges and universities Is in the best Unwanted traditkraflf chrttlan control of
