port from college unit lack of federal aid would end training begun in 1919 eight officers 100,000 in equipment are kept here by u s department of war by ralph e slonaker with the nation speculating as to how president roosevelt will effect his proposed 90,000,000 cut in the military budget fhe answer to the question of whether or not the university will have an r o t c unit here next year hangs vaguely in mid-air the president of the united states as part of his reductions suggests that financial support be withdrawn entirely from the many college army units in the country by the end of next week the le high military department is hop ing after long uncertainty to re ceive some knowledge of president roosevelt's final decision through the war department at washing * ton charles russ richards president of the university said in an inter view saturday that even if this fi nancial support is withdrawn le high may still be able to maintain the department if officers equip ment and materials are left at the disposal of the administration support is discussed he said that the question of sup port was raised at the last meeting of the board of trustees and it was agreed that complete withdrawal by the federal government would necessitate discontinuance of mili tary education here it was learned from the military department that the maintenance of the unit costs between 40,000 and 45,000 an nually the general opinion of a group of 36 men composed of college offi cials war department representa tives and army officers who con vened here yesterday and who are meeting again today to discuss col lege military education policies is that president roosevelt's plan if carried out will result in serious consequences to the national de fense although the meeting is for purposes of education the members of the group are much interested in the outcome of-fhe presidential sug gestion penniman sees hope one of the first men to address the convention yesterday dr jo siah penniman provost of the uni versity of pennsylvania expressed his doubts concerning the imminent action against r o t c support in the following words if we must have economy in the administration of our national government we must take the same precautions that a surgeon takes in performing an operation he has not only to consider the success of the operation but also the health of the patient ... it is quite possible to cut things which will result both in a balanced budget and in an un balanced country president richards stated last week that one of the best things the members of the group could do would be to draw up a resolution protesting the possible abandon ment of the college military units further discussion of r o t c maintenance although not sched uled will probably take place in the meetings today another participant in the con vention a military official from washington explained in a private interview the delaying circum stances in the action regarding r o t c reductions he said the plan as first suggested met with such wide protest that it is still un dergoing consideration lehigh university is under no compulsion to have an r o t y c unit applications are

vaguely in mid-air the president of the united states as part of his reductions suggests that financial support be withdrawn entirely from the many college army units in the country by the end of next

richards president of the university said in an inter view saturday that even if this fi nancial support is withdrawn le high may still be able to maintain the department if officers equip ment and materials are left at the disposal of the administration support is discussed he said that the question of sup port was raised at the last meeting of the board of trustees and it was agreed that

... it is quite possible to cut things which will result both in a balanced budget and in an un balanced country president richards stated last week that one of the best things the members of the group could do would be to draw up a resolution protesting the possible abandon ment of the college military units further discussion of r o t c maintenance although not sched uled will probably take place in the meetings today another participant in the con vention a military official from washington explained in a private interview the delaying circum stances in the action regarding r o t c
