Uninformed Criticism

Mr. Selden indicated that he felt that
"relatively few faculty members have
attempted to inform themselves about the true
nature of the ROTC program."

Recent criticism of the committee has dealt
with the committee's intentions and purpose.
Kevin Mannix, Vice President of the Student
Council, stated that he felt that the committee
had gone beyond its charged purpose.

The committee was formed on a motion
approved by the faculty in its meeting on
December 11. That resolution read, in part,
that "a special committee of the College be
appointed to investigate means of retaining
freedom of choice regarding ROTC courses for
our students within the contest of our
traditional academic values.
