R. O. T. C. Uses Cornell Campus As Setting For Movie Film Saga

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Perhaps discouraged by recent criticism of their comic book, R.O.T.C. officials are now turning in a higher propaganda medium. Camera men are now filming a recruiting sags on the Cornell campus in Ithaca, New York.

A Signal Corps crew of 25 men, including five professional civilian actors, have spent nearly a month cavorting about Cornell in order to give the film some "real college flavor." The movie will be shown to high school students and Boy Scouts next year.

Training Joys

The plot of this movie is focused on a "typical" college alumnus who returns to his alma mater to reminisce about the "joys and values" of R.O.T.C. training.

According to the Cornell Daily Sun, the university will probably not even be mentioned in the film. Ithaca, however, will witness the premiere of the completed epic.
