If I were to seek the aspirant journalist
who attacked the AFROTC in Wednesday's Kernel, I imagine I would discover
him cowering under his typerwriter table;
anyway, that is where I would lirst look
for him.
The letter to the editor, unjustly attacking the AFROTC, needs a little clarifying.
1. It is necessary that the program require that demerit protest's be submitted
according to milita
procedure. If not,
every demerit, whether just or not, would
be protested by the
"slighted" cadets.
This procedure holds the number of unqualified appeals to a minimum. If it
were to take me longer to write such a
letter than to work olf demerits, I would
not consider myself college material.
2. In answer to the deep concern with
why the AFROTC cadets and officers
wear their uniforms when there are visiting officers on the campus, I olfer this:
it was not to give the impression that the
uniform is worn three days a week, but
rather to show the cadets at their best.
One of these officers was at one time a
student at UK and a member of the
AFROTC. I imagine, he realizes the pro

gram require cadets to wear their uniforms only once a week, and that lor
drilling purposes.
3. 'I he AFRO EC drilN once a week

Does this answer the question concerning the wearing ol the uniforms? Every
