Survey Shows Gain In R.O.T.C. Enrollment
Enrollment gains in the University R.O.T.C. this year and last coincide with the nation-wide increase indicated in a recent survey by the Northwestern National Life Insurance company. The survey shows 186,750 men enrolled in R.O. T.C. during the spring semester of 1940, an increase of 20 per cent over the previous two years.
Military training is offered in 136 out of the 1,700 schools of college grade in the United States. About one-half of these colleges and universities make the basic R.O.T.C. course compulsory and the junior and senior years elective.
All military courses at the University of Kansas are voluntary. About

Debaters Leave Today For Missouri Debate
26 per cent of the men students on the campus are enrolled this semester, and officials are predicting an even greater enrollment next fall. The University R.O.T.C. expects to graduate about 40 men this spring who will report for one year of active duty as reserve officers.
University debaters go to Columbia today to debate the negative of the question, "Resolved: That the nations of the western hemisphere should form a permanent union" with the University of Missouri tonight.
Established by the National Defense Act of 1920, the Reserve Officers Training Corps has contributed largely to swelling the ranks of national reserve officers. When the United States entered the World War I she had only 2,900 reserve officers. Now there are over 103,000. The annual cost to the government of maintaining these R.O.T.C. units amounts to $11,500,000.
Members of the team are Russell Baker, business junior, and David Rice, college senior.

New Testament to Be Discussed by YM-YW Study Group
-Modern implications of the New Testament will be the discussion topic of the study group which will meet at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in Henley House under the auspices of the extension committee of the Y.M.C.A.-Y.W.C.A. abinets.
"These weekly meetings represent an attempt to apply meanings which are pertinent from the individual standpoint," said John Moore, executive secretary of the Y.M.
Directory Supplement This Week
Slowness of students in correcting addresses and paying fees which delayed the registrar's office force in checking the second semester enrollment is responsible for the postponement of the date when the directory supplement will be out. Rowland Raup, directory editor, says he hopes to send the supplement to press sometime late this week.
