OFFICERS TO TRAIN
STUDENTS SOUGHT
Congress Will Be Asked to
Provide for Military Drill
inq in Colleges.

An appeal will be made to Congress
shortly to amend the national defense
act in order that sufficient number
of officers and non-commissioned Of
fcers may be proportioned to the vari-
Gus colleges and universities to aid
them in carrying on military train.
ing. Delegations have arrived in this
city representing several of these or
gAniEations, who claim that unless
some immediate action is taken on
this question. the whole system of
military training of the r. o. T. c.
units will be greatly hampered IL
not entirely disintegrated.
In the report of the delegates it 10
stated that the r.. o. r. c. organisa-
tion was instituted as a preparedness
measure, and in the national defense
act limitation to 800 commissioned
officers and 500 commissioned Of
ficers was made. During the war the
1000 officers and 5000 non-commis-
stoned officers
Number of Officers Reduced.
Upon the rehabilitation of the
Army, following the armistice, the in
creased number was changed to the
previous number created under the
national defense act. Because of the
large number Of officers during the
war. great number of students were
enrolled. Now that these officers are
removed and the student enrolment
remains the same. serious difficulty
arises, in how to effectively carry on
the training of these students.
The appeal to Congress to amend
the national defense act seeks to
meet this emergency by providing for
the detailing. Of q total of 1000 com.
missioned officers and 1000 non COM
missioned officers for carrying for
The r. o. T. C. organization has
rendered valuable service to the gov.
ernment. Should universal military
training fail in Congress. it offers the
best substitute therefor. If universal
military training should win out, the
r. o. T. c. units will be called upon
to furnish officers for carrying for
ward that work.

it on q tumble or an attempted for.
