THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, February 25, 1971 From other campuses cadet slouch by jim E<*h ROTC fighting interest lag By JAMES R. JACKSON According to an article in the Washington State school news paper, the decreasing number of ROTC enrollments seems to be leveling off in both the Army and Air Force programs. In an effort to combat this drop in enrollment, both branches are instituting changes to make the programs more valuable and more attractive than in the past. According to the article, a re cent change in both programs was a relaxation of standards concern ing hair length of cadets and allowance of longer sideburns. Women cadets in the Air Force, however, have no standard for hair length, although they are requested to wear their hair “up” when in uniform. At this time a bill is before Congress to increase the pay of advanced program ROTC cadets from $50 per month to $100 per month. An increase in pay in the mili tary services was instituted “to make an all-volunteer army more feasible.” Joan Baez, speaking at UH last week, said ‘Tm anti-country and pro-people.” I seriously feel I be long to one family—all the people on earth,” she said. She talked about conditions and institution in America today. “It’s not by chance I pick on America the most. America is doing more damage than any other country in the world be cause it’s bigger,” Miss Baez said. She said students are trying to be heard, but they’re not ready to put their bodies on the line. “You really have to get your body in the way of the war ma chine,” she said. The military murders people; it defends land.” She said students are too con cerned with what their parents and administrators think and whether they will get their de grees. “You shouldn’t be worried about getting back to exams; you should be ready to go to jail,” she said. She said she believes there is hope, that Americans are capable of changing their lives and man ners. “Until we recognize human life is sacred, we won’t get any where,” she added. ★ ★ ★ Two 21-year-old University of Florida coeds claim they were raped last Tuesday night in their dorm room. According to the UF police chief, a female student called the department shortly after 9:30 p. m. She said a white male of average build had entered their unlocked room threatening them with a small caliber gun. He was wearing a snow ski mask, blue jacket and dark blue jeans, she claimed. The girls afterwards were questioned, taken to the campus infirmary, then to the health cen ter where they were treated and released. The police chief asked that girls continue to take “routine pre cautions” such as keeping doors locked.
