Four-year Commitment
Women's AFROTC Program Begins
For the first time, beginning this fall, the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps (AFROTC) Detachment at the University of Kansas will enroll women in its four-year program.
The program leads to a commission of second lieutenant in the United States Air Force upon graduation from college, Capt. Lucian Siepielski, assistant professor of aerospaces studied. said
The program includes approval for women students to compete for Air Force ROTC college scholarships of one to three years. These scholarships provide full tuition, incidental fees, an allowance for books and $50 a month in non-taxable subsistence allowances.
Women students who are not on scholarship will receive the same salary and benefits as their male counterparts. The salary will include $50 a month in nontaxable pay during their last two years of the Air Force ROTC program.
Women cadets will attend field training encampments as a required course in the Air Force ROTC training. Students selecting the four-year program will attend the four-week training course normally during the summer between their junior and senior years of college. They will visit other Air Force bases where they will be able to visit
women already in Air Force positions, Siepielski said.
Siepielski made no prediction about the number of women likely to enroll in the program but said all incoming freshmen women have been sent information about it.
Women students who enrol will be placed in the introductory course, Aerospace Studies II, he said. They will receive the

Since the new Student Hospital coverage does NOT pay maternity benefits, you may be interested in learning of a plan that DOES include Liberal Maternity Benefits.
ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT MATERNITY BENEFITS?
This new insurance plan provides for liberal maternity benefits and other hospital medical and surgical costs at a very moderate premium.
