University of Virginia Library

Debate Aired
On Saturday

The televised debate between noted
conservative William F. Buckley and
Dante Germino, professor of government
and foreign affairs, on the present status
of ROTC on college campuses will be
aired this Saturday night from 8 to 9 on
channel 26.

Mr. Germino opposed the status of ROTC
units at the University during the faculty
meetings in December because "the course,
objective, and personnel" of the courses "differ
from all other university courses."

"The pentagon did not truly explore feasible
alternatives to ROTC such as post-graduate
academies and greater use of Officer Candidate
Schools and summer training programs," stated
Mr. Germino.
