Report on ROTC Filed
The following is the intro
duction to the report of the
special Committee on Com
pulsory ROTC. The report
will be continued in future
issues of The Red and Black.
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report
is to argue in support of
modification of the present
ROTC program offered at
the University of Georgia.
Public Law 647. Chapter
103. «2102 c., indicates that
under present statutes,
ROTC Is not mandatory un
der Federal law. “At those
institutions where a unit of
the program is established,
membership of students In
the program shall be elective
or compulsory as provided
by state law or the au
thorities of the institution
concerned ” The institutions
involved, primarily land-
grant institutions, are re
quired only to offer a pro
gram in ROTC.
The Special Committee on
the Military Requirement is
an ad hoc committee organ
ized for the purpose of gath
ering information concern
ing compulsory ROTC In
order to show that the
present mandatory military
program at the University
can lie changed to some
form of a voluntary pro
gram.
There are several types of
voluntary programs that
could he offered:
1. An alternative could
tie to offer military as
an elective with other
courses, i.e., physical
education, mathemat
ics, social science, etc.
2. The program could be
strictly voluntary
with the incoming
student offered a
choice of either par
ticipating or not par
ticipating in the pro
gram.
2. An orientation
to ROTC course could
tie offered the first
I fall) quarter and
upon its completion
the student would
choose whether or not
to enter the program.
