ROIC-A GENUINE NEED By THOMAS LEE CAMERON Our dear old NCC is un doubtedly one of the finest col leges in the United States. Its ranking is far above that of such schools as A and T College at Greensboro, N. C. and Mary land State College at Princess Anne, Maryland. NCC’s beauti ful campus has a galaxy of intel lects among the students as well as the faculty, a potentiality for growth and betterment, but a genuine need for one thing: an R. O. T. C. Recently, I read in the Dur ham Morning Herald an article which stated that the Army no longer needs the “dumb” man. What used to be a lazy man’s paradise, what used to be an al ternative for the man who would not qualify for any other branch of the service is no longer such. The Army is a highly complex organization. Its men must rim intricate machines and engage in operations that would tax the ENGLISH: hfghway for CNGMSM: writing Instrument for P'agiari^l '"OllSH.. fa,k,„g mutes T . .. •? THiNKtlSH*. 9WPRWB1TER Lucky Strike presents —the funniest, easiest way yet to make money! PUT IN A GOOD WORD AND MAKE ^251 Speak English all yoiir life and what does it get you? Nothing! But start speaking Thinklish and you may make $25! Just put two words together to form a new (and much funnier) one. Example: precision flight of bvimblebees: Swarmation. (Note: the two original words form the new one: swarm+formation.) We’ll pay $25 each for the hundreds and hundreds of new Thinklish words judged best—and we’ll feature many of them in our college ads. Send your Thinklish words (with Enghsh translations) to Lucky Strike, Box 67A, Mt. Vernon, N. Y. Enclose name, address, college or university, and class. And while you’re at it, light up a Lucky. Get the full, rich taste of fine to bacco—the honest taste of a Lucky Strike. Get the genuine article ,Get the honest taste of a LUCKY STRIKE minds of those with average aptitudes. The Armed Forces has served notice that it can use no one with an IQ test score lower than 80. If one has an IQ of 120 he is officer material. It is common knowledge among those familiar with this institution that it is not the most lax school for higher education! It is further known that NCC has a large percentage of yoimg men with IQs of 120. According to statistics (military) they are officer material. Why then should they not have a chance to fill their capacities? Without a leader a group is helpless. Armies have been put to rout be cause of the downfall of a leader, there being no other to take his place. Where then shall we get this large reserve of needed officers when it is known that the ratio of officers killed is much greater than that of non officers killed? The Selective Service Act of 1950 says that every able-bodied male has a military obligation. It would seem that every able- bodied male-certainly those who are qualified—should have a chance to get officer training. At NCC, where there is such a large percentage of qualified males, this can only be accomplished by the establishment of an R.O.T.C. unit. The R.O.T.C. program brings out the potentials of the best cadets to make them eligible for the rank of Second Lieutenant. Those who do not qualify could certainly gain a great deal. The least result; a group of well- polished, well-groomed, man nerly young officers and men. An R.O.T.C. program would do much to elevate the standing of this school in the minds of in dustry and the young men, choosing a college, who must think of their military obliga tion. It would bring many quali fied students who have digress ed our fine standards because of the absence of R.O.T.C. My greatest hope is that someone will recognize this liability and take appropriate measures to remedy it.
