ROCS ARRIVE By the hundreds the ROCS came on those hot July mornings, through the gates of the Long Beach Naval Station. They came from as close as Los Angeles and as for as New York. There were men from as many colleges as one could name, from such large schools as Columbia, Duke, North Caro- lina, Notre Dame, and U.-C.L.A., and from the smaller ones such as Washington and Lee, Swath- more, and Hofstra College. They came from many places and a multiplicity of backgrounds, yet they came with but an single purpose. The ROCS were all Naval Reservists who had given up a summer vacation to work-and hard work it was, too-in order that they might receive an Ensign's commission in the U. S. Naval Reserve. . Each of the twenty two hundred of them had been hand picked by the Navy from over twelve thousand applicants. They had been selected on the basis of scholastic and physical fitness. Among the ROCS were to be found presidents of student bodies, editors of collegiate presses, All-Americans, and in short outstanding person- alities from every phase of collegiate life. ROC school was indeed, a school of leaders.
