KU Army ROTC program Inspection team evaluates
KU's Army ROTC underwent the suspecting eye of an inspector general Thursday afternoon but came away from the annual affair all smiles in hopes of passing.
Col. Jack French from Kansas State College at Pittsburg, led the inspecting team that also included S. G. M. Bebby J. Graham, also of KSC at Pittsburg, and Maj. Owen F. Devlin of Southwest Missouri State at Springfield, Mo.
By questioning each member of the three companies inspected, the inspection team evaluated the entire KU Army ROTC program. Col. French asked individual members questions pertaining to military science in general and KU military science specifically.
William Cipra, Overland Park senior, first received the annual award from the Association of the United States Army. Following this, four superior cadet awards were given for each classification. Recipients were Robert Houghawout, Wichita freshman; Paul Conderman, Iola sophomore; Larry Ford, Fort Gullick Canal junior; and Edward Murdock, Mission senior.
At the conclusion of the inspection, awards were presented by Col. French to eight distinguished KU Army ROTC members.
John Plump, Mission senior next received the Society of American Military Engineers award as a result of his compiling the highest engineering grades among ROTC students.

Finally, rifle team awards were given to Weylinn Covey, Fort Leavenworth freshman, for being the top freshman member of the team, and to Richard Daly, St. Louis senior, for being the most outstanding team member.
Miller evaluates election
David Miller, recent candidate for student body president, said the referendum election Tuesday, was a "clear indication against the use of student fees for academic buildings."
In his campaign, Miller had stressed the issue of a $7.50 increase in activity fees to help build Wescoe Hall, a proposed humanities building.
The $8 million project failed by 1,058 votes in the election. The Student Senate voted in favor of the increase Feb. 15, but the question was brought to referendum vote by petitions turned in
by Miller.
Miller said he was disappointed in the low voter turnout, but "for a special election and the amount of publication it received, the turnout was better than I had anticipated."
The new Senate Code required an all-student vote last year for the replacement of the All-Student Council by the Student Senate, and less people voted in that election than in Tuesday's, said Miller.
"I think it would be a mistake to say that the election isn't meaningful. The decision reached
becomes even more valid when you look at the hospital vote in comparison. This just wasn't a group that voted against every fee increase put before them. "It remains to be seen," he said, "whether or not we lose the federal money. We've had it more than a year. I hope the Kansas legislature comes through and supports the project like it should."
"On the basis of the election results, I don't think anyone has any justification to ask us to finance an academic building with student fees."
