CANADIAN OFFICERS' TRAINING CORPS This past summer more than twenty-five students of Waterloo College spent the vacation period at C.O.T.C. camps in Canada. The following comments are typical of the reaction of these cadets to their summer training: "I was hard to convince, but boy am I ever glad that I decided to join!" .... "I wouldn't have missed it for the world!" "The best summer I've ever had!" .... "I saved $600. and had a lot of fun as wells" As Resident Staff Officer of the C.O.T.C. I am most anxious that all Freshmen be given the opportunity to understand the training programme of the C.O.T.C. If you are interested I suggest that you drop in to my office (Room 211) or, better still, have a chat with some of the cadets who are already members of the C.O.T.C. However, for purposes of this bulletin I would like to draw the following points to your attention: (1) You are assured of employment for the full summer -- twelve to twenty weeks at your own option. (2) You qualify as a commissioned officer of the Canadian Army, but have no greater obligation to serve in the armed forces than any other citizen. (3) Pay is good -- $200. per month, plus room and board. This is equal to $265, if you have to pay for room and board, or $235. if you normally live at home. (4) You may serve for two or three summers at your option. (5) Your training is done with other university students from all across Canada. (6) Definite training and practice in positions of leadership and responsibility are provided, which is something very few summer jobs offer. C.O.T.C. training falls into two categories: (1) Theoretical training two hours a week during the academic term. In the first year this amounts to about twenty hours. (2) Practical training during the summer months at Corps Schools of the Canadian Army. You are paid for all C.O.T.C. work, both summer and winter, and as part of a new policy this year, your pay will commence on the day you apply. During the next two weeks you will receive printed information concerning the C.O.T.C. Please read and consider it carefully; it is offering you a splendid opportunity to serve your country and better yourself. Application forms may be secured from Room 211. If you are at all interested, please drop in for a chat. J. M. Clark, R.S.O.
