CONTROVERSY OVER ANNUAL BANQUET COMPULSORY ROTC FOR ARCHITECTS TO BE GIVEN TEST GIVEN TUESDAY THE BATTALION T LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2*.—Cm- trorersy over compulsory military training courses at the Univer sity of California at Los Angeles this week broke forth again as the Board of Regents was scheduled to weigh the eases of two entering freshmen who refused to enroll in R. O. T. C. classes. Should the board decide that the students, Alonso Reynolds, Jr., 1% and Albert W. Hamilton, 19, should be expelled, the latter have indicated that they will start legal action designed to bring about a decision of the State Supreme Court to settle their right to at tend the university as “conacien- tious objectors” to military train- inf They are to be represented by Jidin Beardsley, attorney, who will prepare their case in this event. The students declared that Beards ley has been retained on their be half by the Southern California Methodist Conference, which, they stated, has decided to make of their> a test case which perhaps ■say settle once and for all the question of compulsory military trqining in publicly-owned insti tutions of higher learning. Hamilton is the son of the Rev. W. A. Hamilton, retired Metho dist minister and former chaplin at Joliet Penitentiary, while Rey nolds’ father is the Rev.* Alonso Reynolds, Sr., of the Wilshire Community Church in Los Ange- * ‘ ['.L It was understood (hat repre sentatives of the Methodist clergy would file petitions with the Board of Regenta, protesting any move to dismiss the students, at the time their case was to be con- k ft red this week. eanwhile, reports from the University of Oregon revealed soother outbreak of jthe contro versy there, several freshmen hav ing distributed handbills urging their classmates not to enroll for ; RCTTC. As a result, the Daily Emerald at Oregon in an editorial, while taking no stand for or a- gainst "militarism”, protested the "spreading of propagandistic ma terial which might discourage any student from taking courses in stituted in the university’s cur riculum.” _ 1 Wendell Sether, editor of the Daily Trojan at the University of Southern California, however, took issue with this opinion, sad in p counter editorial, which com- mdtlted on the situation both at CCLA and Oregon, declared: "We .... agree with the Daily Emerald in its statement that dis tribution of pamphlets to dis courage students from enrolling in the R.O.T.C. is incompatible to the spirit of a university, but we will go fsrther and add that com pulsory military training is also inconsistent with the ideals on -tehiek our higher institutions of learning are founded.” The editor concluded with the ■taiemunt that it is as incongru ous to expel students because their pacifist ideals make it impossible for them to take military training as it woald be to expel s Christian because he refused to take a course in Mohammedan religion.
