Riedel proposes ROTC week
Col. Philip Riedel, professor of military science, asked the Lawrence City Commission Tuesday to proclaim Nov. 10 through Nov. 15 "Army ROTC Week" in honor of the program's 150th anniversary.
The Lawrence City Commission has proclaimed the week of Nov. 10 through Nov. 15 "Army ROTC Week" in recognition of the 150th anniversary of the Army ROTC program.
Col. Philip H. Riedel, professor of military science, and David Jeans, Army ROTC cadet commander and Independence, Mo., senior, submitted the proclamation to the Commission at a Nov 4 meeting. It was passed unanimously with no debate.
The proclamation was passed to honor "those men commissioned through Army ROTC who have gone on to protect our freedom at home and abroad in both the active Army and the Army Reserve."
"This proclamation is in no conflict with the moratorium or anything else." Riedel said. "It is simply a statement of fact."
Riedel said the proclamation is part of a nationwide recognition effort. The Department of the Army requested that the ROTC units in each state declare one week in commemoration of the anniversary.

Assembly vetoes vote resolution
MADISON (UPI) — The state Assembly Tuesday overwhelmingly voted down an effort to make Wisconsin the final state to force a federal constitutional convention to enact the proposed "Dirksen Amendment" on legislative apportionment.
On a 63-26 vote, Assemblymen rejected a resolution asking Congress to call the convention to overturn the one man, one vote legislative apportionment ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Thirty-three other states have already approved similar resolutions although some are expected to face lengthy court challenges.
