KU Air Force ROTC program bolstered by solid junior class
By JEANNE FOY Staff Reporter
KU's Air Force ROTC program is moving into safer territory.
The program, which last spring was in danger of being eliminated for lack of members, has managed to remove from probationary status this year.
In order to remain active, the program needs at least 17 juniors. Last year the program had only seven juniors, compared to 25 this semester. Lt. Col. Charles Moseley said yesterday. Moseley is in charge of the program.
Mosley said that this year's junior class had been an exceptionally strong group since their freshman year.
"They have been a solid class from the start," he said.
Mosley said that when a ROTC unit had 17 to 25 members, it received a letter of concern, but anything above that was acceptable.
October 31 in the day on which the Air force takes an official count of the aircraft.
Mosley said that unless the Military Science Building was struck by lightning, he had no reason for the numbers in the program to change significantly by then.
The Navy ROTC program had a strong recruiting year and has hcd no trouble maintaining their present number of about 120, said Lt. Col. David Amey, the office in charge of that program.
The Army ROTC program, with about 269 students, also is doing very well, said LT. Col. Edward Eidson, the officer in charge of that program.
Mosley said the Air Force had problems recruiting students, in part, because they were looking for students with technical background backgrounds, such as engineering.
About 60 percent of those in KU's Air
Airport ROTC program are engineers,
Modeler.
Most staff officers in the Air Force were presently reluctant to leave, Mossley said, because of their own problems in civilian world. But those with technical backgrounds,
"The Air Force is not in dire need of liberal arts graduates." he said.
Mosley said, would be snapped up as soon as they left.
The program has been opened up to medical students, Mosey said, and three students at the University of Kansas Medical Center have joined Air Force ROTC. Besides being assigned special projects to fulfill their ROTC requirements, an instructor also goes to the Med Center to teach them.
The program is also accepting cadets from Washburn University, whose Air Force ROTC program shut down, Mosley said, and is recruiting veterans who were enlisted in the Air Force and have gone back to school.
Mosley said a tight economy, as always, was a reason for the increased borrowing.
Each KU freshman is now sent a ROTC booklet, Mosley said.
"We do not harass. We merely put forth information. If we don't hear from them, then they don't from us again." Moseley said.
Mosley said he was optimistic about the future of the Air Force ROTC.

Club forum to present conservative ideas
Views discussed
By KIESA ASCUE Staff Reporter
Conservative students at the University of Kansas may have found a voice, finally, through the newly-formed KU Conservate Forum.
"The whole idea of the club is to provide a chance for conservatives at KU to come together and chitchat,
exchange news and views," said Jeffrey Johnson, Capitrando, Calif.
Johnson, president of the forum, said the appearance of Phyllis Schlaffy, leader of Stop ERA, a group opposed to the proposed Equal Rights Amendment, was a catalyst for the formation of the club. He said he hoped to attract conservative speakers to KU every semester.
The forum would like to invite the Rev. Jerry Fallwell, leader of the Moral Majority, to campus, among others, Johnson said.
The forum has about 20 members and they fund their own activities, he said.
they fund their own activities, he said. Heinrich Stammerl, professor of Slavic Languages and Literature, is the group's adviser. Stammerl said the forum would be the first organization for conservative students on campus.
"The conservativ, contrary to popular belief, does not believe in the values of yesterday, but in the values that are valid at any time," Stammler said. "The conservative is not concerned with grandiose schemes for the improvement of the whole world. He is armed with step-by-step in-provenment of this own state and society."
