A Salute ~
Oi the hundred* of thousands of
young men who will receive college de
gree* this spring only a. comparative
handful — 10,300 — will have earned
the double reward of a degree and an
officer's commission in the U* S. Aimy.
On campuses of those 247 colleges and
universities which have ROTC pro
grams, graduating cadets Will shed their
caps and grown* and don Second Lieu
tenants’ uniform*. About 10 percent of
these will be offered commissions in the
Regular Army, the remainder beginning
a two-year tour of active duty a* Re
serves.
This year marks the 50th anniver
sary of the ROTC in its present form,
as established by Act of Congress in
1916. For nearly a century before that,
however, many civilian institutions pro
vided military as well as academic edu
cation. The importance to the Army of
this arrangement is well demonstrated
by the fact that over 70 percent of the
new officers entering service this year
will be from the ROTC. This percentage
has varied little in the years since World
War II. As military technology becomes
ever more sophisticated, the need for
college-trained officers also increases,
making the ROTC program all the more
vital to our National defense.
The ROTC unit at Presbyterian Col
lege, established in 1919, has through
out the intervening years, proved its
worth. It has provided the basic train
ing that has sent hundreds of officers
to the armed forces. It is estimated that
during World War II more than a thou
sand officers served in all parts of the
world after beginning their training
here on the PC campus.
So, Clinton and PC have a right to be
something more than just interested by
standers as the ROTC observes Sts 50th
anniversary.
The benefits to the ROTC graduate
go far beyond the mere fact of his
Army commission. Contrary to the
widely held notion that two years in the
Army will be lost time at- far as a
civilian career is concerned, the training
and experience thus gained will more
often work to considerabbl* ^vantage.

the Arbitration Board set up by Con-

90 per cent of the firemen’s jobs on
freight and yard diesel engines, where a
fireman is not needed, the railroads
have paid out more than $36 million to
help affected employees adjust to
change.
Firemen have not oeen removed

Babson’s Point of
View On Confusion
And Common Stocks
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass., May 19—When 1966
opened, optimism on the stock market was
rampant. This column agreed with the
bulls, freely predicting that the Dow Indus-
trilas would climb above 1,000 before the end
of 1966. But not many investors are think
ing about that magic figure now. Since th®
spring slump, most of them are asking:
'•What’s gone wrong with the stock mar
ket?”
CONFUSION COMPOUNDED
To move ahead strongly, the stock mark-
ket likes to feel confident and certain. Re
cently, all-has been confusion, particularly
among our leaders in Washington . . . politi
cal, military, and economic. After working
hard to convince the public it has the cor
rect formula for prosperity without end, we
fU»d the Administration split from end to end
on what to do next.

knowledge gained during active .military
service from working and living with
people of widely varied backgrounds and
specialties, in a complex and demanding
organization, and it’s not surprising
that many private corporations have
found — as expressed by a personnel

Sadist
One who delights in inflicting mental or phy
sical pain upon another, or who takes pleasure in
watching another perform such an act, is called
a “sadist.”
This psychological state is thousands of years
old, but it was not given a popular name until
about 150 years ago.
The term is derived from the !*st (ame of
the Marquis Donatien Francois de Sade, a
French author who lived from 1740 to 1814.

De Sade indulged in this practice, and also
outlined it in two of his novels.
