ROTC commandant predicts more protests
The ROTC program at the University of Kansas is in good shape and should continue to grow, said Maj. Jorome A. Durbin, cadet commandant of KU's Army ROTC.
He said, however, he could see a bad spring, both nationally and at KU, for anti-ROTC demonstrations. A reason for this, he said, is the demonstrating groups are more organized and have more "experience" than in previous years.
When asked if the decline of the war as a political issue might cause some people to let up on ROTC, Durbin said, he did not think so. There are many issues to concentrate on such as pollution, and crime, that people seem to just blame it all on the
armed forces establishment, he said.
Durbin said that he thought a double standard was being applied to the cadets. Too many people on campus looked upon a cadet as a paragon of virtue. These people needed to realize that cadets were students, just like anyone else, he said.
Durbin defended ROTC when discussing the suggestion that the entire program be dropped from the curriculum. He said false impressions had been created about the difficulty of the program.
By the year 2001, the population of the world is expected to be between six and seven billion.
ISP lists major goals
There was a short organizational meeting of the Independent Student Party (ISP) Sunday night at the Wescoe Foundation to distribute ISP's program number one . . . education.
Peter George, Tuckahoe, N.Y., law student and ISP candidate for student body president, listed four main educational needs. All schools and the College should have 50 per cent student representation with full voting rights on all committees; students in all schools and the College should have complete choice in taking courses either for grades or for Credit/No Credit; all general requirements for graduation from all schools, and the College should end and traditional departmental structure should be eliminated.
"ISP demands all possible options be left to the students," George said. "The basic inertia of the University to change must be destroyed, and students of all ages made free to learn."
