ROTC
(Continued from Page 1)
GRUNZKE, whose Air Force
program includes 69 students
this year agreed, saying, "Cred-
it is one of the factors to low
enrollment."
However, ROTC junior and
Student Government Council
(SGC) member Bob Matthews
said, "Most people in ROTC
aren't going to drop out of it
or stay in on the basis of
credit."
According to Irish and Grun-
zke, the Defense Department
requires that about 20 students
be enrolled in the junior class.
If that quota is not met, the
unit is placed on probation and
dissolved if it fails to muster up
the minimum.
SINCE THERE are only 12
juniors enrolled in Army and
13 in Air Force, both units ex-
pect some kind of reprimand
from their headquarters.
Irish predicted, "The Defense
Department will probably place

requests

us on evaluation and tell us
that unless we reach viability
by next year we will be, re-
moved from campus."
Grunzke struck an optimistic
note saying, "Because of the
positive outlook right now with
enrollment for next year and
hopefully, with the positive at-
titude about gaining credit,
they (the Defense Dept.) will
delay action until next year."
IN CONTRAST to the dwin-
dling Army and Air Force en-
rollments, the number of stu-
dents opting for Navy ROTC
has remained fairly constant.
According to Captain William
Rigot, Navy has fewer units
throughout the country than the
other two groups, a major fac-
tor contributing to its higher
enrollment - 98 students this
year.
However, Navy has experi-
enced some decline, which Ri-
got attributes to the lack of
credit and to the "general feel-

a

ing of the public towards the
military."
Rigot said, "We're not in any
real trouble with enrollment,"
but he added, "We might get
pre-Vietnam level enrollment
back up without credit, bit it
will happen faster with credit."
Irish asserted, "For enroll-
ment to go higher and 'o be
viable we need the University
behind us."
Irish blasted the LSA faculty
as "anti-military," a d d i nag,
"We're not asking them to get
up on a bandwagon, but we
don't want a stumbling block."
HE CHARGED, "By denying
credit they're saying, 'Don't
waste your time on ROTC; it's
Mickey Mouse.' "
But Grunzke disagreed, "The
faculty has always been cordial
and understanding," he said.
Unwilling to characterize the
entire faculty as either pro or
anti-military Associate Dean of
Academic Affairs Charles Mor-
ris said, "There was a range
of viewpoints within the faculty
when I heard them five years
ago. I haven't heard it discussed
recently, but I presume we
still have a range."

bility argument as "not very
relevant," adding, "My decision
will be based on the courses'
academic merit."
However, he said that the
faculty as a whole "may look at
the issue in other lights."
Irish also faulted the faculty's
lack of understanding of "what
we teach or how we operate."
Associate Dean of Academic
Counseling Marion Jacson de-
fended the faculty's lack of
awareness explaining, "There
are too many programs to keep
up with everything. They're not
singling out ROTC."
ALL THREE commanding of-
ficers praised the sub-commit-
tee's objectivity and thorough-
ness in examining their pro-
grams strictly on academic
merits.
Grunzke asserted, "They're
intent on being fair-that's en-
couraging."
The four sub-committee mem-
bers declined comment on their
upcoming recommendation until
the report is presented to the
Curriculum Committee at an
open meeting on Tuesday.
ALTHOUGH Rigot and Irish
refused to predict whether the
committee would recommend
that credit be reinstated, Irish
declared, "Part of our problem
is that the faculty reflects what
the students want. They're
afraid of a few radicals and
what they'll do if credit is re-
instated. That's all it was before
and that's all it takes."

For example U. S. - Chinese re-
lations would not necessarily be-

could proceed at a slower pace,
he maintained.
"WANG does not have the
self confidence to shake hands
with Nixon," said MacFarqu-
har. "Not like a man of the
enormous prestige of Mao."
In the turmoil following Mao's
death, MasFarquhar suspects
that some members of the Chi-
nese PolitBuro will lose their
positions, "But there would be
little actual fighting," he added.
"The military would give
their tacit support to Wang,"
predicted MacFarquhar, "but
as he has a youth and worker
constituency, he is looked upon
with suspicion by the military."
"THERE will always be a
memory of the Curtural Revolu-
tion and the military's stepping
in," he said; it was the Chinese
youth who created much chaos
during the Cultural Revolution,

"Wang appears radically in-
clined," according to MacFar-
quhar, but "he cannot rely on
the radicals alone to run the
country." MacFarquhar be-
lieves that Wang has enough
political savvy to become more
moderate.
However, he admitted that
"whoever succeeds the Chair-
man will not have the confi-
dence to launch another Cultur-
al Revolution."
MacFarquhar also predicted
that within the next 25 years,
the British would leave Hong
Kong, a British Crown Colony,
to the Communists. He empha-
sized, "everyone there, even
the refugees, know the colony
is on borrowed time."
He believes that the "Com-
munist Party will regain some
of the dominance and prestige
it had in the late fifties and
early sixties," in the next' dec-
ade.

Grospiron said the union will

terday at two refineries and an
asphalt plant in the Port Arthur,
Tex., area for the second day
and also at a refinery in El
Segundo, Calif.
Those 6,000 workers walked
out when the contracts expired.
Grospiron said the strike was
illegal, but no action would be
taken against the union mem-
bers.
However, at Port Arthur a
local union spokesman said,
"this is a legal strike."
Companies involved in the ne-
gotiations are Texaco, Gulf,
Phillips, Mobil, Shell, Atlantic-

eral Standards and many small-
er companies. Exxon, the na-
tion's largest refiner, has only

said she was not worried about
the angry picket lines, but was
concerned over what the stu-
dents could think of their for-
mer teachers.
"They've (the students) lost
respect for these people," she
said, walking through the school
door as the strikers yelled in
her direction.
The antagonism and bitterness
resulting from the Crestwood
school strike has had its effect
on all levels of this community.

voking the teaching firings, he
remarked "this is a dispute

Council Treasurer Elliot Chi

himself, last night spoke in
terms suggesting Sandberg's
resignation is a foregone conclu-
sion.
"He's accomplished a lot dur-
ing the time he has been in of-
fice," Chikofsky said. "He filed
the lawsuits against Gill and the
others. But we have to move on
from cleaning up SGC and start
doing something for the stu-
dents - which we haven't been
doing recently. He (Sandberg)
accomplished what he was
needed for, but that need no
longer exists."
