ROTC Students Honored
(Continued from page 1)
With the exception of the national awards limited to 20 ROTC students in the U.S., all selections for the awards are made by the professors of military, naval and air science. Some are based upon academic performance alone, some upon leadership ability and some upon a combination of all achievements.
Programs Are Elective
KU is one of only 33 colleges and universities in the U.S. that offer all three ROTC programs of the armed forces. Only one-third of the more than 300 colleges and universities that offer ROTC, place it on an elective basis. All three programs at KU are elective.
The ROTC programs at KU offer the student the opportunity to pursue a course of study of his own choosing and still be commissioned upon graduation. All ROTC students are deferred from the draft during their enrollment and receive a subsistence allowance of approximately $27 per month during the last two years of the program.
Regular Navy ROTC midshipmen receive a total of $50 per month throughout their college enrollment in addition to tuition, fees, books and laboratory fees. Regular Navy students are selected on a competitive basis and the contract Navy students are selected from interested students enrolled at the University
All three programs require that a student graduate from the University before being commissioned. Although a majority of ROTC students that successfully complete the program of instruction are commissioned in the reserve, many are selected to be commissioned in the regular Army, Navy and Air Force.
Diploma a Prerequisite
With the exception of the regular Navy Midshipmen, all ROTC students must participate in a tour of summer training between their junior and senior year. Regular Navy students must participate in three summer cruises during their enrollment in the ROTC program.
The Army and Air Force ROTC programs offer flight training to their senior cadets. Cadets pursuing this training receive ground and flight training which, upon successful completion, enables the cadet to take the Federal Aeronautics Administration examination for a private pilot's license. This training is at no expense to the student and it does no receive academic credit from the University.
