UO Accepts Women
In ROTC Programs
Enrollment in the University
of Oregon Army Reserve Of
ficers' Training Corps (ROTC)
will be open to women, for the
first time, in the Fall of 1973,
announces Colonel William E.
Burr II, professor or military
science at the U of O.
Last year the Army carried
on test programs in several
institutions with women parti
cipating in Army ROTC. As a
result, the decision was made
to open enrollment to women in
all institutions where the in
stitutional head requested it.
Colonel Burr said that he does
not plan any major changes when
the program becomes co-edu-
cationai. The same courses in
leadership and management that
now are given to men will be
given to prospective women of
ficers.
The women cadets will wear
Army WAC uniforms with the
same modifications in insignia
that male cadets wear.
Women will take the Army
WAC standard basic physical
proficiency tests, instead of the
men's standard basic physical
proficiency tests.
Other than that, there will be
no differences. Colonel Burr
said.
Women will be eligible for
Army scholarships the same
as men. A flrst-year woman en
tering next fall may apply for
the 3-yearscholarshipthatpro-
vldes tuition, text books and
laboratory fees, plus an allo
wance of $100 per month for
the period that the scholarship
is in effect. Next year's high
school seniors may apply for
the regular four-year scholar
ships.
Colonel Burr pointed out the
20 women in the test programs
held during 1972-73 have re
ceived scholarships.
While Colonel Burr does not
have
any estimate of what
the response of women will be
to opening ARMY ROTC to them,
he says that in recent months
the Military Science Depart
ment at the U of O has re
ceived inquiries from more than
50 women. The Air Force ROTC
has been accepting women for
two years. The U of O Depart
ment of Aerospace Studies cur
rently has two women enrolled
in its program.

Reservoir
south of Ontario," Ullman told
the subcommittee, "has become
a leading
recreation site in
Oregon, judging by the Visitor
load."
He said recreational demand
is surpassing available facili
ties, and sought S 100,000 for
more boat ramps, camping units
and a water system.
"I would like to point out to
the
subcommittee," Ullman
said ' that the Silvles River
Study in Harney county is sup
posed to tie completed this year,
and the Corps of Engineers will
require $21,000 to finish this
up."
The study is to determine
feasibility for a dam at Sil-
vies Canyon to provide flood
control, irrigation, recreation
and back up for the Malheur
National Wildlife Refuge.
Ullman
also suggested the
subcommittee retain $640,000
in reserve for possible con
struction of a flood control and
recreation damonWillowCreek
near Heppner, which was badly
flooded two years ago.
"Authorization to begin study
ing the cost-benefit ratio of
a major dam and reservoir in
Grant county was approved in
the last Congress,"
Ullman
said.
"I would like to ask
that the subcommittee consider
appropriating $46,000 to begin
this study," he said.
He noted that $155,000 has
been budgeted for further study
of the Walla-WallaandUmatilla
Basin projects, and said he
is hopeful re-study will clear
up feasibility questions about
these two projects.

FATHER’S DAY
LORE
AND LEGEND
Although we tend to take
Father's Day for granted, it
was only a year ago that it
was established permanently
by congressional resolution.
Since 1910, the occasion had
to be designated every year,
rather than observed auto
matically, like Mother's Day.
How it became part of the
calendar is an interesting story
of angry battles in Congress
and protest all across the land
One of the most notable ef
forts was launched by Senator
Margaret Chase Smith who,
in 1957, sent a proposal to
Congress which read, in part
"... The Congress has been

young, and old, of our land...
