The document also ciiarged that
the Kernel has abused freedom of
the press, undermined the principles of national security and dis-

regarded its public obligations.
Originated by MS II Cadet
Michael W. Brown, the petition
followed a Kernel editorial which
criticized the Army ROTC for
using pushups as a form of discipline. The editorial had called
them "embittering, embarrassing
and an affront to one's
self-respec-

t."

The editorial appeared in the

Monday evening.
Nov. 24. Hampton wrote the editorial.
The Kernel editor's reply lo
the charges made in the ROTC
cadets' petition is on today's
editorial page.

The cadets themselves had voted
to do pushups rather than drill.
The petition requested the
resignation of the "responsible
members of the editorial staff" and
did not specifically name the editor. However, he presumably would
be the only staff member affected
since the determination of editorial policy rests entirely with
him.
A second request of the petition
was that University authorities
take action, should the "responsible members of the editorial
staff" fail to resign, to prevent
the recurrence of certain abuses
claimed in the document.
The petition did not specify any
particular preventive measures,
and it is not known whether censorship was meant to be implied.

The petition continues that we have
undermined the principles of national
security by our excoriation of the
ROTC Department. This is a nebulous and presumptive statement and
could be argued ad nauseam, depending upon the tenacity of one's
belief in the intrinsic worth of collegiate militarism.

Our Editorial Award
Recognition is rarely more gratifying, no matter what one's calling,
than that which comes Irom other
members of the same profession. For it
is within professional tanks that judgment is most critical, competition
most keen and achievement the hardest won.

Knowing this, we are deeply honored that the Rand's editorials were
awarded lirst place in Sigma Delt.Y
Chi's national college newspaper contest. This professional journalistic
fraternity, whose membership includes
many of the nation's top newspapermen, annually presents awards in lour
divisions: editorial, feature and news

writing and photography. The awards
represent, to the competing schools,
one of the most sought alter honors
in college journalism.
Credit lor the Kernel's award goes
to last year's editors, Jim Bland and
Frank Strunk, since papas are judged
each summer lor the past academic-yearThis latest award is the third
lor the Kernel in as many years, two
lrom Sigma Delta Chi and another
in a national highway' salety contest.
We are proud to have been eho-.cloi this latest honoi, not only because
it is a cliiect achieu-iiien- t
lor the
paper, but also because it brings credit

to the University as a whole.

ROTC Defended

To The Editor:
would like to cjuotc I.t. Gen. James
M. Gavin in his book, "War and Peace
in the Space Age," in reply to our editorial in the Thursday Kernel:
". . . one of the truly great contti-butioiof the prewar (training) system was the ROTC. An army is not
one mite better than its leaders, arrd
t without the ROTC we would never
have had the leaders that we needed
so badly. T have known thousands of
young ROTC ollicers and 1 consider
the nation owes them a great debt of
gratitude. It does not take long memory to recall the troubles the ROTC
had in continuing the support of its
program between the wars.
the object of campus puns, it
was not appreciated until war came;
but when war did come, the ROTC
came through."
I do not claim any debt is owed to the
ROTC cadets of toady, but I do believe
that the ROTC program ought not be
viewed in the wrong light. I believe any
effort should be judged by its accomplishments and not by its side effects as long
as such effects do not increase the value
ol the accomplishment.
I would like to take issue with the
Kernel on the point that discipline is an
adverse effect. An army must have discipline and leamwoik lo function properly. The United States Army is one of
the necessary instruments to preserve the
Irccdom and privileges we enjoy. I do
not believe discipline imposed by a
American is an unbeatable burden to
pay lor these licedoms.
I cannot imagine anything, as you put
it. so embarrassing, ernbiltei ing and an
