Army ROTC Unit Honors Eleven
Col. Ralph J. Hachin, professor of military science and tactics, has appointed 11 Army ROTC cadets as Distinguished Military Students.
Cadets selected are Robert L. Bee, Lawrence; Jack C. Dysart; Sterling; David L. Hall, Wichita; John G. Handly, Prairie Village; David G. Hendricks, William D. Martin and Avrom A. Rosen, all of Kansas City, Mo.; Michael J. Johnston, Independence, Mo.; Robert A. Nebrig, Jr., Leavenworth; Robert D. Ohmart, Scott City; and Kenneth R. Welch, Prairie Village. All are seniors.

He must also achieve a high scholastic rating in his other courses in the University. Continued high performance permits the student to be honored as a Distinguished Military Graduate and to receive a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the Regular Army of the U.S. upon graduation.
Initiation Death Is Ruled Accidental
LOS ANGELES — (UPI) — A coroner's jury has voted, 12-1, that the death of a college student who choked on raw liver during a fraternity initiation was accidental.
The panel also ruled yesterday that the death of Richard T. Swanson, 21, was free of any criminal responsibility.
The University of Southern California dental student died Sept. 17 after trying to swallow oil-smeared liver during hazing activities at the Kappa Sigma fraternity.
There was a conflict in statements by students and ambulance attendants.
The students testified that attendants had been told Swanson had an obstruction in his throat. However, the attendants called in the emergency said the fraternity boys told them only that Swanson was having muscle spasms.
One attendant, Nathan Rubin, had said Swanson's life might have been saved if he had been told in time that the student had an obstruction in his throat.
