November 12, 2015 meeting:  Lt. Col. Pape from EWU Army ROTC was our speaker.  He explained that ROTC is voluntary, about 50% of the students are female and it provides a way to cover some college costs and graduates enter the Army as officers.  There is emphasis on academic success and by their junior year over half of the students are on a scholarship.  ROTC participants sign a contract in their junior year and then receive a monthly stipend even when in school.  He was asked about physical condition requirements:  they vary according to function the cadet is expected to perform; both male and female cadets performing the same function have to meet the same physical condition standards. 


The EWU Circle K club met last week with 13 students attending.
