Pageant to be shown here Future Naval officers enrolled in the NRe PC program pursue the courses of their choice at about fifty colleges and universities. As regular students they wear typical campus clothes except that they wear their Midshipman uniforms on special occasions and one day each week as designated by the Commanding t'ific e r of the NROTC unit. There are two basic NROTC Programs, one designed to commission officers in the Regular Navy or Marine Corps-the "NROTC College Scholarshop Program” --and the "NROTC College Pro gram” leading to a commis sion In the Navy or Marine Corps Reserves. The Scholarship Program Is highly competitive. Students selected are appointed Mid shipmen In the Naval Reserve In their freshman year. During th e ir four years on campus, the Navy provides them with tuition, fees, textbooks, uni form s, and a monthly subsis tence allowance. Midshipmen pursue a bac calaureate degree of tlie lr choice, concurrently taking Naval Science courses. These NROTC scholarship students supplement th e ir Navy class room Instruction with three summer-at-sea training per iods in shipboard, amphibious and aviation operations. Upon receiving their commissions at graduation, these new reg u la r Navy o r Marine Officers serve on active duty fo r four years. The NROTC College Pro gram students, while not on a scholarship basis, attend the same Naval Science courses and d rills as their contem poraries In the Regular Navy and Marine Corps Scholarship Programs. They are s e le ct.! by the Commanding O fficer of the NROTC unit at th e ir school on the basis of personal Inter view s, school and community reputation and competitive exams. These men are also provided with a monthly sub sistence allowance during th e ir Junior and senior years. T h is future o ffice r group gains practical Navy experience by participating In a six-week sum m er-at-sea training per iod after th e ir Junior year. When they receive their de grees and commissions at graduation, these men serve on active duty as Navy o r M ar ine Reserves O fficers for three years. The Naval Science Instruc to rs , all of whom are Navy o r Marine Corps officers, d ire ct NROTC students on subjects ranging from naval traditions and basic seaman ship through fleet operations.

The next stage is one that requires an expansion pro gram after it has survived the hatching stage.

The final stag» In this five-stage cycle occurs wnen the founder wants to re tire , o r dies, but the business needs to be preserved from dissolution o r the necessity to merge due tothelm posttlonofdeath taxes. Both Senator Bible and Congressman Evins feel that th e ir b ill can get through the Congress If th e ir Is suf ficient support generated among small and Independent business people. In fact. Senator Bible takes the pos ition that If sm aller business people do not take a greater interest In the tax w riting processes they w ill be squeezed out by default. With his income sharply curtailed in retirem ent, the Institute oi L ife Insurance suggests, the older citizen might want to apply several hard - nosed guidelines to check out the va lid ity of the operator’ s claim s.

Senior Citizens Alert As tie ranks of older citizens continue to n iu litp ly- -there are about 60 percent more Americans aged o5 am! over in la y then 20 years ago- -they are becoming a power in the country’ s economic marketplace. While the income of a great many older citizens leaves them well short of affluence, collectively the in come of the almost 20 m illio n Americans 65 years or over reached an impressive esti mated $63 billion in 1970. Some of its main sources are Social Security, veterans’ payments, employee pension plans, and life insurance benefits. In s u rp ris in g ly , the sheer size of this fast-increasing market lias provided an i r resistible target fo r a growing number of m arketers. Un fortunately, however, they include a number of uncru- pu lexis operators. Retired Individuals, fo r example, are often bombarded with brochures fo r " r e t ir e ment havens" of doubtful value o r sure cures fo r chronic ailments. ethers are fre quently besieged through mall solicitations with "e a s y " ways to make "e x tra money" at home, to supplement their regular income. Small Business Tax Bill Shakespeare in one of his more famous soliloquies wrote about the seven stages of man. The small business tax reform act now before the Congress by the chairmen of the two small business committees, Senator Alan Bible of Nevada and Repre sentative Joe Evins of Ten nessee appear to have copied this formula, as It provides fo r the five stages of a new business. While an Increase or a decrease In taxes can be dramatic, tax reform legis lation that provides for a long range formula does not have such theatrical over tones. Ashland, Oregon— F a ll at the Oregon Shakespearean Festival is a busy tim e. Plans fo r a flu rry fo activities, with emphasis on Oregon students, were recently announced by Festival Education C oonil- nator Forties Rogers. “ o u r plans fo r a tall pro duction, teacher workshops aivl visists to schoool are the result of the seccess of our 'p ilo t pro je ct' last fa ll,” Rogers said, 1 his fa ll's production in D.S.A,* taken from the book by John Dos Passos and written by Paul Shyre and Dos Passos. Billexl as “ a dram atic revue” the unique offering w ill be directed by the Festival’ s newly appointed producing d ire cto r. D r. Je rry Turner. Public performances of the play are scheduled on week ends of (.October 22 through Novenibei 27, according to Rogers. “ We w ill also schedule four student-only matinees,” lie said, " A s usual, resource m aterial w ill made available to teachers bringing student groups, ahead of time; and students w ill have the oppor tunity of discussing the play with the d ire cto r ami the Obituaries 9 7 3 ,3 2 8 1 -3 9 6 7 Ha C lq dr sfd B; 9 : 3 O To S undays ani 6 ;3 O HELP WANTED E m a n u e l H o s p it a l f o r C o m m u n it y P la n n i n g and now in t e r v i e w i n g W o r k e r fo r F a m ily C lin ic .
