Colleges Question Compulsory ROTC
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Eight of the 168 colleges and universities where ROTC training is required are taking a second look at the compulsory feature of the program, a United Press International count showed today.

College graduates generally are leaders in their communities, he said, and should have first-hand knowledge of military training.
"It is one of the most successful and far-reaching contributions which the American colleges and universities have made to the cause of good citizenship, as well as preparedness for the defense of our country," Brucker said.
