Army General Visits ROTC
Maj. Gen. Joseph H. Harper, deputy commander of the Fifth Army, visited the Army ROTC unit yesterday for a short inspection tour. Gen. Harper is in charge of the reserve and ROTC units in the Fifth Army.
He was accompanied by Donald Compton, civilian educational adviser to the secretary of defense, and his aide Capt. Bashor.
Gen. Harper met with George B. Smith, dean of the University yesterday afternoon to discuss the general problems facing the KU ROTC units.
During his visit Gen. Harper was interviewed by Lloyd Ericsson, Lawrence sophomore, for KLWN, In this interview Gen. Harper expressed his views on the ROTC officer in the regular army. Gen. Harper is himself an ROTC graduate from the University of Delaware in 1922. (See picture right)
It was Dean Smith's opinion that perhaps the most pressing problem at the time could be found in the School of Engineering and Architecture. Here ROTC students are having difficulty in getting full credit for all hours of courses taken in military science and finding the time to take ROTC and complete the engineering course in four years, or even four and a half years.
Dean Smith and Gen. Harper both agreed that the best solution to the problem would be to inform the Pentagon of situations such as this existing in universities throughout the country, and let it meet with the national engineering accrediting groups.
Gen. Harper commented on the new corps system which went into effect last January in the Fifth Army area. Under this new system Gen. William H. Arnold of the Fifth Army has only four corps commanders to coordinate with instead of separate state commanders as was the previous system. Kansas is in the XIII Corps.
"Though there are still some rough spots, the new system allows for a more rapid mobilization of reserve and national guard units." Gen. Harper said.
Later in the afternoon, Gen. Harper toured the Military Science building, visiting several classes and observing instruction techniques being used in them.
He closed the afternoon by having a short critique with Col. Ralph Hanchin, professor of military science.
