Anchorettes Boost Navy ROTC Morale Pn EIK Flickering candlelight illuminates faces of Anchorette pledges at their formal induction in December. c ANCHORETTES Anchorettes braved swirling waters and traversed down the energetic Guadalupe River aboard inner tubes with Navy Mid- shipmen in September. Anchorettes, a social and service spirit organization planned recreation events like the tubing trips but also served refreshments to the midshipmen after drills, organized beer calls in the park and ice cream socials. One of the Anchoret- tes ' favorite events was accompanying the Buccaneer drill team on state-wide competi- tion as well as on their annual competition in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Many girls joined the Anchorettes, because they came from Navy families. Others joined to meet people, but made two special friends in the form of an Anchorette big sister and a midshipman big brother. Open rush, held at the beginning of each semester, netted new pledges who were ushered through a military sword line. I feel that I am building meaningful and lasting friendships through Anchorettes, said Becky Scale. Midshipman Joe Skinner added, The value of Anchorette services and smiling faces could not be overestimated. FIRST ROW: Kristin Lee Oppenheim, Janet Lynne Supple, Kathleen E.

Presidential Review Ends Year for Cadets by ROCHELLE BLASCHKE and TRACY LEGGETT FIGHTER planes flew over Memorial Stadium, the San Marcos Military Academy band performed and troops from the Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC marched onto the field. This was all part of the annual Presidential Review held on May 4 in Memorial Stadium. Approximately 450 ROTC cadets par- ticipated in the Review, a tradition since the early 1950s. It offered University President Peter Flawn and key staff officials an oppor- tunity to meet and observe the three bran- ches of the military as they marched past the reviewing stand. Units were formed on the field and salutes rendered as part of the ceremony. President Flawn, Mayor Carole McClellan and military officials circled the formation and reviewed the troops. The Buccaneers Drill Team then performed an 8-minute drill. The review ended when the troops marched past the reviewing stand and gave a side right salute to President Flawn. The 1982 Presidential Review for Peter Flawn culminated a year of ROTC training. It demonstrated and displayed to the Univer- sity president and guests the discipline and pride of the ROTC corps. The annual Review honors the UT president and recognizes outstanding cadets and mid- shipmen from each service branch. Austin Mayor Carole McClellan presented an engraved saber to the cadet judged most outstanding on the basis of scholarship, leadership and character. The recipient of this award was Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Martha Williams, the first woman com- mander of Army ROTC at the University For graduating seniors, the Tri-Service Review was the final ceremony. David Wyatt, Air Force ROTC cadet said the Presidential Review was a good chance for the three branches of ROTC to work together and be more visible on campus. Cadet Captain Allan Cole said the Review improved ROTC ' s visibility because pro- fessors had the opportunity to see what the cadets actually did, since the review was open to the campus and the Austin com- munity. He said the Presidential Review was also a good social outlet. Most students on- ly see us on campus in our uniforms, but we have many other activities such as parties, sports teams and TGIFs Cole said. The Navy presented the General Dynamics Award for Merit to Midshipman First Class Rick Whitehead. The Air Force presented Jimmy Walker with the John Ed- win Simpson Moore-Hill Award and the Ar- my presented Cadet Major James K. Johnson with the Lieutenant Jack House Award, which was named after a lieutenant who was commissioned from UT and later killed in the Vietnam War. Following the ceremony, a buffet lun- cheon at the Lila B. Etter Alumni Center was held for distinguished guests, Professors of Military Science, commanders and the reci- pients of the awards.
