KU Reserve Officer Training (ROTC) programs, Hitt said that they were not as high this year as had been expected, in light of the current Vietnam situation.
"It beats me why more people don't take advantage of these opportunities, but I would venture to guess that it is because most students don't realize what opportunities exist," Hitt said.
Hitt continued to say that this is especially true of the ROTC scholarship programs offered at KU.
"It seems to me that, in Kansas, most students in high school don't know about these programs. Either that is the case, or their military obligation seems too far ahead for them to consider," he said.
Hitt predicted, however, that enrollment in the ROTC programs will experience a marked increase in the coming years.
HITT SAID ALSO that if any student at KU anticipates any difficulty with, or has any questions concerning his military obligation, he would be more than willing to meet with that person and offer any possible advice or assistance.
Commenting on the recently proposed lottery system for the draft, Hitt said, "I'm definitely not in favor of the lottery system, because what it does, basically, is to substitute chance for reasoned judgment. If those higher up who favor the adoption of such a system looked at it that way, I think they would change their minds."
Hitt is a former member of a selective service liaison committee of the American Association of College Registrars and Admissions Officers, which serves mainly as a communications link between colleges and universities and the National Selective Service System in Washington, D.C.
'Happiness Is'—

As she walked from backstage to a microphone up front, she took the last step with a wince.
"I suppose you're all wondering why I took that last step so carefully," her voice echoed. "Well, this is supposed to be light comedy, not burlesque."
THAT BROKE THE ICE, and Dean "Em" was "in."
After a humorous monologue about student's problems, (. . . and you say you tried to petition out of the English proficiency test on the grounds that it was your native language . . . and three foreign students graded your petition and gave you an F? . . ).Dean Taylor waited for her que to swing into a fast chorus of "Downtown."
"Hold it. Hooooold it!!!" she yelled to the rocking mods, "Let's slow this thing down to a Guy Lombardo tempo."
DEAN EMILY TAYLOR. How did they persuade her to do a thing like that?
And they did, and she sang, Allen Sherman style, sternly yanking off her glasses now and then to make a point, "singing" with subtle humor only a dean could portray.
She got the longest and loudest applause.
"It wasn't that we got her to do it," said Jane Frazier, stage and choral director for the production, "it was that she did it, and enjoyed doing it. She was a wonderful sport about the whole thing."
Generally, the audience was impressed with "Happiness Is . . . . " "There were three things that impressed me the most about the show," said Ted Coffman, Salina junior.
"I thought Rev. Sunbye's talk was probably the most meaningful to me, and the house-mothers were great," Coffman added. "But I really enjoyed Dean Taylor. It was above and beyond the call of duty for her . . . it really puts a good light on the administration."
Miss Frezier went on to say, "I think the entire show went very well, and it never would have been possible without the cooperation of everyone involved."
WITH A CAST of many talented individuals, a concert choir, a group of folk singers, and "The Collegians," the sophomores assembled a very effective production.
But the real purpose behind "Happiness is . . ." is most important.
The money received from the sale of tickets will be donated to build an orphanage in Saigon, South Vietnam.
"THE REAL PURPOSE of the show couldn't be a better thing to be proud of," said Miss Frazier, "and I hope that this purpose continues on a state-wide basis to other colleges and universities in Kansas."
Happiness is . . . a warm home in the midst of cold war.

from out of state, will visit the fraternities they have heard of," he said. "A kid may consequently waste the day attending large fraternities which may not fit his personality or interests."
Woodsmall pointed out that it is difficult to measure the success of the program by the number of immediate pledges. Some went through merely for a preview of the fraternities with the intention of going through Fall Rush.
Dan Clutch, Lawton, Okla., freshman, said he felt the program was well organized and the fraternities expressed a genuine interest in the rushes.
Lack of turnout was the only bad part, Clutch said.
MIKE FRENCH, Ramsey, N.J. freshman, said the program was very profitable for him and that he made a lot of friends.
"I was with three people at the most during any given hour. Usually it was less than that."
