Mhesc graduates will have
Waken part in the traditional
1 l.four-vear course, a sizable
i‘percentage were enrolled in
. the Army ROTC Two-Year
j program.
During the summer before
their junior year, they at
tended a six-week, paid
summer camp located at one
of the major Army posts.
While completing this Basic
Camp, the students had an
opportunity to check out the
Army, to test themselves
mentally and physically, and
to give Army officers in
charge of the program a
chance to see if they were
qualified to continue into
the Advanced Course.
Those men and women who
are accepted into the Army
ROTC Two-Year Program re
ceive a living allowance of
up to $1000 per year plus
payment for attending an
Advanced Camp held the
summer between their junior
and senior years. There are
also merit scholarships a
vaitable on a competitive
basis which pay for tuition,
textbooks and other educa
tion expenses.
Those cadets who receive
scholarships have a 4-year
active Army obligation after
receiving their commission
as second lieutenants. Non
scholarship cadets may be
selected for active duty, or
fulfill their obligation by
serving as officers in the
Army Reserve or the Army
National Guard.
In either case, the new
Army officer will have had
the advantage of training de
signed to develop leadership
potential and self-confi
dence which are strong as
sets in either the Army or
with a potential employer.
