By RICHARD HIMMELThe results of The Daily Maroonelej?raphic poll of 72 college and uni-ersity student editors indicate clear-y that the average male undergrad¬ate is badly prepared for his in-vitable life in the armed forces ofis country and that American educa-ional institutions are giving no evi-ence that he will be any better pre-ared in the near future. This pollimed to determine how much pre-iduction military training is avail-ble to college men and whether theharacter of this training is such thatwill give these men special Armyualifications, leading eventually to annmission.College editors report that universi-es and colleges introduced vastGanges in the curriculums afterearl Harbor and the tabulation ofle poll reveals that over 74 new “de-?nse courses” have been reported by’.ese 72 schools. There are reports■om several schools that requestsave been made to the War Depart-lent for ROTC units by non-ROTC•hools and that several ROTC insti-itions have asked that the size ofleir units be increased. The War De-artment replied that limited facili-es made it impossible to establish?w units or make substantial in- Find College Men Badly PreparedFor Service in Armed Forces.Harvard Blasts ^^War Course”creases in the sizes of the units al¬ready established.ROTC Basic TrainingPre-induction military training isof two kinds, basic training and spe¬cialized training. Into the classificationof basic pre-induction military train¬ing fall Reserve Officers TrainingCorps and similar devices to teachmilitary fundamentals. Most of thecourses listed by college editors as“defense courses” fall into the spe¬cialized pre-induction military train¬ing clasification since they are con¬cerned with specialized Army' tech¬niques. ROTC is in this basic classi¬fication because about 76 per-cent ofits man-power take only the first twoyears of this training. The first twoyears of ROTC is known as the “ba¬ sic” course. Completion of this coursedoes not make one eligible for a com¬mission in The United States Army.The “advanced” ROTC, given in thejunior and senior years, has a limitedenrollment imposed by the War De¬partment. Only about 20,000 of an es¬timated 650,000 men in the institu¬tions of higher learning in the countryare accommodated in the ROTC “ad¬vanced” course. It is well to note thatonly at the completion of the “ad¬vanced” course are men eligible forcommissions.“Defense Courses” reported to theMaroon are of three types: specializedpre-induction military training, bestexemplified by the numerous “cartog¬raphy” courses which have a definitemilitary implication; courses in “firefighting” and “knitting” which fall into a general civilian defense classi¬fication; and war industries trainingcourses including such courses as “Per¬sonnel Administration” and “IndustrialMicrobiology.”Students Demand Training CoursesImmediately after Pearl Harbor,students exerted pressure to get somekind of basic military training incases where there was no such train¬ing available to them. College editorsfrom Ohio Wesleyan University, Tex¬as Christian University, WesleyanUniversity, University of Redlands,University of North Carolina, BostonCollege, and Temple University reportthat their schools have petitioned theWar Department for ROTC units, butthe War Department replied that nonew units would be established. TheColumbia University alumni magazine reports in their issue of December 12,“There was an immediate demand thisweek for military training... TheColumbia student Fight for FreedomCommittee, through its president,Robert C. Phillips, reported on Decem¬ber 10 that 400 names had been ob¬tained to its petition requesting theestablishment of a miltary trainingcourse on campus.” Colleges and uni¬versities were faced with the problemof either giving their students nomilitary training or establishing suchtraining themselves since the War De¬partment gave no evidence that itplanned to do anything about it. Inmost cases the schools chose to haveno basic military training and offertheir students instead a counter-irri¬tant, “defense courses.” The studentpressure was temporarily relievedwhen schools all over the country ex¬panded their curriculums to give vi¬tal “defense courses” and men all overthe country began to become expertson “Morse Code”, “Newspaper Chi¬nese”, “Military Communications”,“Military Mathematics”, “Truck Driv¬ing”, and other specialized army tech¬niques.Only three schools successfully at¬tempted after Pearl Harbor to get(Continued on page two)FORiCTORYBUYUNITED STATESBONDS * STAMPS Ihe Voiiu nh/tom,^For VICTORYBUYUNITEDSTATESDEFENSEBONDSSTAMPSdI42.

FEBRUARY 17. 1942BASIC TRAINING INADEQUATE(Continued from page one)some kind of basic military training.Sylvan Meyer, editor of the Daily TarHeel, at The University of NorthCarolina reports that a volunteertraining corps was organized at Chap¬el Hill. -H. R. Levy, editor of TheWashington and Lee Ring Turn Phi,reports a “voluntary two semestercourse in military fundamentals usingthe ROTC manual.” Wilmer Cressmanof Muhlenberg College reports thatvoluntary basic training is availablethrough a local cadet platoon. In theDaily Maroon are found records ofThe University of Chicago’s pre-induc¬tion military training which has beenfunctioning under the direction of theUniversity’s Institute of Military Stud¬ies since the Autumn of 1940. TheInstitute reports that the enrollmentin their basic course quadrupled afterPearl Harbor. That the college manin spite of all this activity is stillbadly prepared for his potential Armyjob is evident from the fact thatthere has been no further atterppt onthe part of institutions to give theirmen basic military training, and thecounter-irritant, “defense courses”, isbeginning to wear off.College Not SufficientA statement by Lt. General BenLear of the United States Army isthe best substantiation of the factthat the college man’s first cry forbasic military training was the rightcry. In an editorial which appeared inThe Chicago Daily News on February7, General Lear, in response to aquery from a parent asking why hisson wasn’t an officer when he had hada college education, said, “Academictraining is not of itself sufficient tomake a soldier. These college trainedyoung men in most instances havethe physical and mental qualities ofan officer, but because of lack ofmilitary knowledge they must join the greenest recruits... It is a sad exped¬ience to see man after man with ex¬cellent academic qualifications go in¬to rear ranks because of his completelack of education which the Army re¬quires not only for qualified officers,but for competent non-commissionedofficers.”Physical ConditioningThe main “defense course” whichswept the country was of the phys¬ical conditioning type. Almost everyschool in the country reports somekind of emphasis on physical condi¬tioning. That physical conditioning isan insufficient substitute for basicmilitary training is clear on twocounts. First of all it is clear that be¬ing in fine physical condition will notmake a man a good engineer unlesshe hasi had an engineering training.It cannot be expected that a fine phys¬ical condition will make a man a goodsoldier unless he has had some mili¬tary training. It is true that beingphysically fit will increase the learningcapacity of something like militarydrill, in that the trainee will not fallover from exhaustion at the thirdtime the command “to the rearmarch” is given. At best, physical con¬ditioning can only be a prelude to mil¬itary training. It cannot be a substi¬tute. The second count on whichphysical conditioning is insufficient isevidenced by the fact that severalcollege editors report that studentinterest is petering out in thesecourses, and close order drill andbayonet movements have been intro¬duced to vitalize them.The main argument used in favorof physical conditioning in the col¬leges is that proposed military train¬ing is “skimpy”, to quote Editor Caul¬field of the Columbia Daily Spectator.The same school that on December 12reported 400 men petitioning for basictraining, reports on February 4, “NoBy BOB LAWSONThis is probably . . ... .the shortest Bazaar on record.Exigencies of space, however, andvested interests necessitate it.Since there isn’t much space, Imight as well grind an axe. Why dopeople stand during the playing of“Wave the Flag” at basketball games.It is as though they are veneratingit as a symbol of a long-gone periodof athletic supremacy.

Inasmuch as the Michiganband played their fight song, “TheVictors,” every time the Wolverinesscored, if the Michigan rooters hadstood at each playing they wouldhave been much more tired than theirteam at the close of the game.The spirit is fine but misdirected. student pressure for basic militarydrill because of the skimpiness ofsuch training.” President FranklinBliss Snyder of Northwestern hasbeen quoted as saying that his Uni¬versity would concentrate on physicalconditioning because of a similar opin¬ion of improvised military training.What seems to be in the minds of thepeople condemning this type of train¬ing is the Student Army TrainingCorps of World War I.August 10, 1941, President RobertM. Hutchins of the University in hisannual report to the alumni said, “Itis highly probable that before longsomething like the Student ArmyTraining of the First World War willbe introduced into the high schoolsand colleges of the country. We canonly hope that what is introduced willbe as little like the S.A.T.C. as pos¬sible. That organization won the dis¬taste and disrespect of both educa¬tors and military men.”Colleges Offer Skill CoursesCollege editors also report thattheir schools are teaching Japanese,Portuguese, “Military German”, “Mil¬itary French”, Russian, Arabic, Ital¬ian, Turkish. Classes in cryptog¬raphy have already been introducedin two schools and similar courses areslated to appear in six more curricu-lums. Psychology departments havetaken on significance by offering “pre¬service” training in “Military Psy¬chology”, “Propaganda Psychology”,“Morale Psychology” and the “Psy¬chological Causes of War.”Other courses that were reportedto The Daily Maroon are courses inThe Sociology of War”, “The Eco¬nomics of War”, “Naval History”,“Military History”, and courses innavigation and meteorology arestandard in almost every curriculum.Highly specialized skill courses haveheavy enrollments. College men arebeing trained in “Quick ComputationMethods”, “Ballistics”, “ElectronicChemistry”, “Pacific Geography”,“Military Cartography”, “Aerial Pho¬tography”, “Practical Telephony”,“Ship Drafting”, “First Aid”, “StressAnalysis”, and “Truck Driving”.In answer to the student and publicdemands for pre-induction militarytraining, the educational institutionshave offered these courses, but whatthey have not offered is any assurancedoUij TUoAomFOUNDED IN 190J!• Does not rot dresses or men’sshirts.

CHICAGO PHONE PLAZA 3397 that the men taking these courseswill ever have the chance to use whatthey learn in the Army. These coursesare given entirely without Army su¬pervision and for the most part with¬out Army consultation. TTiey havebeen instituted by the colleges anduniversities themselves in their hastyeffort to provide some kind of wartraining.Harvard Questions UtilityFriday, January 30, The HarvardCrimson published an editorial en¬titled, “Information, Please” whichraised this question of special “de¬fense courses” leading to Army orNavy practicability and even morebluntly, leading to a commission.“With second semester only threedays away,” the editorial says, “thevery relevant question of what coursesare acceptable to speciliazed Armydepartments has been unanswered.Most of the new courses were organ¬ized without Army supervision andby instructors who lacked first-handacquaintance with the details of Armyrequirements. Speed-up courses inlanguages and sciences have been ar¬ranged, based on general knowledgethat physicists and interpreters areneeded. But many of these courseshave been announced without hintingat the physical requirements that maydisappoint a trainee after a year ofstudy. And insufficient attention hasbeen paid to the fact that none ofthe new courses actually guaranteean Army or Navy position.”Clearly then, certain vital factorshave been overlooked by Americaneducational institutions by going allout for defense. They are not onlymis-training and inadequately train¬ing students, but are endangering thelife of the institutions themselves.Non-ROTC schools have overlookedthe fact that specialized training isof no value unless it is accompaniedor preceded by basic military train¬ing. Both ROTC and non-ROTCschools have overlooked the fact thatthey are giving specialized subjectswithout having any assurance thatthe men they train will ever be ableto use this training in the Army orNavy. The task of the average maleundergraduate today is to achieve thehighest possible military effectiveness,both for his personal satisfaction andadvancement, and for the general ef¬fectiveness of the United States inwinning this war.Student ViewpointTo this average student three thingsare important. First, his college edu¬cation; second, a sound basic pre-in¬duction military training; and third,some assurance that any specializedpre-induction training he does will be utilized by some branch of the Armedforces. The institutions are making iteasier for men to complete their re¬quirements for a bachelor’s degree byusing various devices to speed-up thecurriculum; consequently, men willsoon be able to graduate a year ortwo earlier than they would normally.College editors from the followingschools report some kind of an accel¬erated graduation plan: Temple Uni¬versity, Williams College, Colgate,Oberlin, Carleton College, Amherst!Northwestern University, Notre DameUniversity, University of Redlands, DePauw University, Wesleyan College,Ohio Wesleyan College, Columbia Uni!versity, Yale University, The Univer¬sity of Michigan, and The Universityof Chicago. Students equipped withROTC or similar training may disre¬gard the problem of getting basictraining. It is the non-ROTC studentsthat must find a means to get thiskind of training if they expect to en¬ter the Army with qualifications equalto those of an ROTC school_graduate.There must be a close cooperationbetween the Army and educational in¬stitutions to standardize “defensecourses” before the college man canhave any assurance that his special¬ized training will be utilized.The Daily Maroon has conductedthis poll to inform its readers of thegeneral picture of pre-induction mil¬itary training in this country. It wasmade possible through the cooperationof 72 leading college editors. The Ma¬roon believes that one of the jiur-poses of the student newspaper is tokeep college youth informed. It istherefore making this report availableto the college editors who cooperatedin conducting the poll in the beliefthat college men with the correcttraining can give their full value towinning this war the quickest waypossible.Sire, Rome is on fire, "Well, keep (he Romefires burning, you wretch,'retorted Nero, as hefiddled his vvay towardCLASSIFIEDWanted—Male student to share 3 room apt.with other studenta — cookinK facilities —nicely furnished— near campus -call Midway4745 after 6:00.4 MONTH INTENSIVE COURSErOR COllEGE STUDENTS AND GRADUATESA thorough, intensive, stenographic course--starting January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1./nteresting Booklet sent free, without obligatioM— write or phone.
