In the fall, both the Advanced Infantry and the Quartermaster units were expanded by increased quotas. Sand table instruction showed battle con- ditions, marksmanship was emphasized, and a real obstacle course constructed. Field trips to Camp Atterbury by Advanced students proved highly suc- cessful. Although a shortage of rifles prevented the Basics from getting the all-important manual of arms training, the Crack Drill Squad and Pershing Rifle platoons attained unprecedented efficiency in handling weapons. The Indiana University Women ' s Auxiliary Training Corps was one of the first of its kind in the nation. Established last fall, its classes are taught by tactical officers and Advanced R.O.T.C. stu- dents. The courses include first aid, map reading, chemical warfare protection, drill formations, and mechanics. ROAD MAPS will be a cinch after they complete this course. WITH TOTAL DISREGARD for their nails these W.A. T.C. ' s learn about motors. Upper: No, this is the color guard, not the rear guard. Lower: Capt. Logan takes time oH from basketball to instruct some W.A.T.C. ' s. PROBABLE ANGELS of mercy start their training early.

PHYSICAL ED ENTERS SECOND YEAR WITH NO FATALITIES RECORDED Now down on your backs — do fifty sit-ups. . . . O.K., on your stomachs for seventy-five push- ups. That ' s all, fellas, just run around the campus today and take your showers. . . . And that ' s the men ' s Physical Ed routine three days a week. The other two days — light labor on the wrest- ling mat or in the swimming pool — for recreation. AVhen this program was inaugurated a year ago in February, there was considerable resentment to- ward this coolie routine five days a week for one hour credit. Then the program was for sen- iors only, but now all men students who aren ' t married and who are physically sound indulge in the grind. In general, most men have gotten used to the strenuous routine and appreciate the body-building properties of Ben Miller ' s program. Student in- structors in Physical Education lead the classes which consist chiefly of calesthentics and competi- tive games for development, and team sports for recreation. Frequent testing has revealed the value of this course and recent graduates have written the Uni- versity in thanks for the muscle-hardening pro- gram before they entered the service. THE TOE-TAPPER, Don ' t bend your knees. IT ' S A GOOD STUNT if you can keep going when the bars run out. BOWLING CLASSES, always crowded, are the women ' s favorites. ALL WOMEN STUDENTS, too, have compulsory phys- ical training. 11
