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.
