versity, has announced the api
"Groves as a Midshipman, U.
Regular Naval ROTC progra
transfTred from the status
student to the Regular Nava
ginning of the Spring term.
Groves, eighteen year old son of
Major and Mrs. C. E. Groves of
Fort Jackson, was transferred to
the status of Midshipman by spec
ial permission of the Navy Depart
ment authorizing the transfer of
the most outstanding Contract
Naval ROTC student. He was se
lected by the members of the Naval
ROTC staff to receive this appoint
ment from a group of thirty-two
eligible freshman Contract stu
dents. The selection was based on
leadership, academic standing, at
titude, personal appearance, and
other attributes befitting a candi
date for a commission.
Appointments to Midshipman, U.
S. Naval Reserve, are normally re
ceived after successful completion
of nation-wide competitive exam
inations held in December of each
year. The Regular Naval ROTC
Program finances the student's
education, supplies his books, and
pays him a monthly subsistence of
$75.00. In return for these bene
fits, the Regular Naval ROTC stu
dent is obligated to participate in
three summer cruises and* serve
two years on active duty as an of
ficer in the Navy or Marine Corps
upon completion of his college
work.
The Cnntraet Naval ROTC Pro
gram does not finance the student's
education or furnish his books;
however, during the junior and
senior years in college, the student
is paid a monthly ration of ap
proximately $30.00. The Contract
student is required to participate
in only one summer cruise and is
not obligated to accept an active
duty commission.
Midshipman Groves is a native
of Huron, South Dakota. He was
graduated from Columbia High
School and was chosen valedic
torian of his senior class. He is
now a freshman at the university,
enrolled in the school of business
administration. He is active in de
bating and public speaking, and his
hobby is photography.
