ROTC Helpful For Military Seaman Says
ROTC is a help in the military training program, according to James Ardovitch, ETNSN (electronics technician communications seaman) of the U.S. Navy, who is visiting KU today.
"I never had ROTC," but I think it would help. It gives a person a better military bearing and helps improve his posture and personality." Ardovitch said.
Previous electronic training does help, but in the Navy everyone starts at the bottom unless he can pass a test. said Ardovitch.

"I had training in the Devry Technical Institute in Chicago. It gives electronics a deeper meaning the second time through," he said.
When asked if college is an advantage in a military career, Ardovitch replied, "It depends on the individual. College wouldn't do me any good. I'm interested in the technical aspect and don't want to have to study a lot of other subjects."
Ardovitch placed number one in his Navy communications class of 22 students.
"I learned more in class than I got out of the books," he said.
Previous to his Navy assignment Ardovitch worked for two and one-half years in a Chicago broadcasting station of which one and one-half years were as the chief engineer.
Ardovitch is enroute to a classified assignment in New Mexico.

The Bibler cartoon appearing in the University Daily Kansan is the favorite feature of the KU students, if a recent poll is representative of all University students.
Bibler, Editorials Rated Most Popular
Several students were polled as to what they read first when they picked up a Kansan.
Hot on the tail of the famed Bibler cartoons is the editorial page and its contents.
Following are some of the comments obtained in the poll:
Ward Sample, Lawrence freshman— "Bibler first. Want ads next."
Bernardine Johnson, Kansas City. Mo., junior—"I usually read the society column first. When it isn't in, I start from the back and read to the front."
Dennis Jackman, Prairie Village freshman—"Glance at the front page. Read all the articles inside and the letters to the editor.
Damon Patton, Wichita sophomore—"Check for Bibler cartoon. Then glance over the front page and then very quickly glance through and see if any articles pertain to me and my interests. I sometimes read the editorial page."
Paula Browning, Lawrence sophomore—"Editorialists. I think it's good to have so many different opinions. I've considered answering some of them, but never do."
Ravmond Hulse, Prairie Village freshman—"I don't read it. I look at the pictures."
Mrs. Edwin F. Price, Wesley Foundation director, Lawrence—I look at the headlines on the first page and if anything looks interesting, I read it. I read the comments on the basketball games. There are too many ads and I'm not interested in the society page's list of names."
John Walker, Miami, Okla., sophomore—"If the headline doesn't make much sense, I look inside to see what the cartoon is."
Lawanna Steele, Wichita freshman — "I always look at the society section first and then see how fiery the editorials are."
Laurin Wilhelm, Great Bend senior—"First I read the headlines on the front page. I'm usually walking, so next I read the back page because I don't have to open up the paper.
James Chism, Anthony junior— "I look at the pictures. If they aren't of pretty girls, I throw it away."
