WEATHER
Kansas—Fair and warmer today, high 80 to 82. Partly cloudy and mild tomorrow.
ROTC Commanding Officers Will Hold Discussion Periods For Men Students
TO ALL MEN STUDENTS:
There is still considerable uncertainty in the minds of many men students as to the advisability of entering one of the three R.O.T.C. programs available in the University. Questions continue to be raised as to the value of the programs, their relation to the University, and their value to the individual student.
In order to be sure that all men have every opportunity to know of, and to ask questions concerning, these programs, Dean Woodruff has arranged for the commanding officers of the army, navy, and air force units to be present in their offices in the Military Science building from 9 a.m. to noon, and 1 to 5 p.m. tomorrow, to confer with students concerning any of the three programs.
These commanding officers are prepared to explain fully the draft exemption, monetary returns, summer and later possible service obligations, and the academic requirements of the programs. These R.O.T.C. units are provided by the University both to serve the students and to make possible the maximum use of the abilities of college men in the national defense at the officer level.
Academically these units are an integral part of the University and credits therein apply toward baccalaureate degrees. Training in the units permits a student to earn an officer's reserve or regular commission in the armed forces while continuing his education.
Because very shortly it will be too late to change courses or to revise programs, these conference hours are provided tomorrow, with the request that all men who are not yet clear about these opportunities give them immediate consideration.
