Within three weeks, the
University Council is expect
ed to take its final action
on the proposal to make basic
ROTC courses elective rather
than required
The faculty executive
committee and the University
curriculum committee, which
already have endorsed the
proposal, were to meet
Wednesday afternoon to
amend their recommenda
tions for presentation to the
University Council at a forth
coming special meeting
'Dial meeting will probably
be in two or 2 1/2 weeks. Un
iversity President Fred C.
Davison said Tuesday. The
Council referred the ROTC
question back • ' the commit
tees when they brought their
original suggestions
Davison will have the final
authority to accept or reject
the proposal if it is accepted
by the Council.
The proposal, which origin
ated in the student govern
ment. calls lor a change in the
present requirement that "all
physically qualified freshman
male students must enroll in
and complete two consecutive
years of basic ROTC as a re
quirement for graduation
with the exception of veter
ans. non-citizens, and those
otherwise exempted" as stated
in the current Genreal catal
og
The executive and curricu
lum committees recommend
ed jointly to the Council Dec.
9 that the present provisions
regarding the status of basic
ROTC. be repealed, as of
s<'|) i HI (and) that tefec
tive Sept. 1, 1969. participa
tion in basic ROTC be made
voluntary.”
All students who enrolled in
the University fall quarter.

The committees asked that
titc basic courses continue
carrying one hour credit per
quarte. for a maximum of
six s. and that the num
ber af quarter hours required
for graduation remain remain
at 195
The proposal was referred
back to the committees for
reconsideration after several
changes were suggested by
Coun il members Th^ pro-
post J changes, which con
cerned some detailed pou:ts
in the committees' seven-
point motion, were to be dis
cussed and new recommenda
tions were to be made when
the committees met yester
day.
BOTH SIDES HEARD
Points for and against elec
tive ROTC were heard by the
executive committee in a
meeting Nov. 21. which was
followed by a joint meeting
with the curriculum commit
tee Dec. 4. when the commit
tee. recommendations were
ad ,»ted.
Randall Seabolt, vice presi
dent of the student body,
spoke in favor of a voluntary
program at the first meeting
Col Walter Short, professor of
Army ROTC and Col. Robert
Crow, professor of Air Force
ROTC. advocated retention of
the present status.
Colonel Short and Colonel
Crow made the following;
points, as recorded in minutes
of the meeting
—That one half of the adv
anced ROTC cadets have indF
cated they would not have
enrolled originally in an elec
tive basic program
—That the* University of
Florida and (Jemson Univers
ity have found elective ROTC.’
unsatisfactory Potential offi
cer material, it was said, is
never discovered and students
graduate without learning
what they need to know about
citizenship
That basic ROTC cours
es provide useful information
on the United States' place
internationally and the place
of defense in this society, and
that many men do not know
what they believe about these
matters when they enter mili
tary service
- That ROTC provides
valuable preparation (or
armed-forces duty, especially
in discipline, rank advantage,
and salary opportunities
aeaboll, taking the other
side, gave these comments
That the proposed change
is supported by 3567 male stu
dents who signed petitions
last year, and by the faculty
committee on student affairs,
which recommended the
ch ;nge to the executive
co .imittee
That the number of adv
anced ROTC cadet commis
sions has not dropped at Penn-
tylvania State University.
Washington State University.
Rutgers University. Ohio
State University, and (ieorgia
Tech, all of which have re
cently changed to elective
ROTC
-That the U S Depart
ment of Defense* has said that
ROTC should not make teach
ing citizenship its goal If citi
zenship training is the pur
pose. Seabolt said, women
students should be included,
too He said citizenship res
ponsibilities can be fulfilled in
ways other than national de
fease
The student government s
proposal, which originated in
the Student Senate last year,
gives four reasons for re
questing a voluntary basic
program;
—"It appears that the mili
tary department will get a
better quality student with a
voluntary program.
—"It is the main function
of the University to educate
its students rather than prod
uce military officers.
TWO EXTRA YEARS
—"Every male that reach
es 18 years of age is obligated
for six j oars' military service
and a person that attends tiie
University of Georgia must
serve two extra years with no
deduct on for this universal
six years.
—‘‘It appears that the ma
jority of the freshman and
soph >more male students
wan* a voluntary program "
After the proposal was ap
proved by the faculty commit
tee on student affairs. Seabolt
pur tied it to the executive
committee, of which Dr
Durwood En trek in. professor
of pharmacy, is chairman
The Senate reaffirmed its
stand on the proposal during
the fall quarter. 1968
Dr Entrekin said Tuesday
that until the University
Council meets, he cannot
annou< ce the recommenda
tions the two committees
were to make at yesterday’s
meeting

were under consideration for
change also cannot be re
