Preparing To Be Leaders Since 1972, SEMO's Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps CAFROTCJ has been preparing students to be leaders. Starting out with 180 cadets, this year was no different, I feel commissionees gradu- ating from SEMO are well pre- pared for their careers as officers in the U.S. Air Force, Lieutenant Colonel A. Wayne Wallingford Jr. commented. I have highly qualified offi- cers that teach management and leadership principles to pre- pare cadets to assume positions of responsibility in the modern Air Force, Wallingford said, Wallingford acted as professor of aerospace studies this year. Cap- tain Don Eggley and Captain Gary Greenwalt were his assis- tant professors. AFROTC cadets who graduate from college will receive a commission in the U. S. Air Force as a Second Lieutenant. Some will go on to advanced training in USAF pilot and navigator schools, ROTC is a primary source of commissioned officers for the US. Air Force, Walling- ford said. The Drill Team, Angel Flight, and Color Guard were three of the programs offered to cadets that enabled them to be active both on campus and in the community. The Color Guard consisted of five of the best cadets from the Drill Team. They marched at the beginning of each home football game. The Arnold Air Society, an honorary organization within AFROTC, was available to cadets having a 2.5 GPA. They also served both the university and community. An example of community service was a raffle held by the Society for a 22 month old Cape Girardeau boy who had had 23 operations since birth for a tracheal disorder Scott Cagle, Arnold Air Society Commander said Arnold Air Society took one look at the facts and we knew we had to do something Other activities AFROTC was involved with was the SEMO Fair Clean Up, the Shriner's Parade and the Homecoming Parade Something new in AFROTC this year was the establishment of a scholarship for two cadets each year at SEMO. The scholarship was established by the wife of the late Captain Edwin W. Cardin who was a 1975 SEMO graduate Terrrlloyer ff .

A Lot Of Fun And ore Growing and going places is what's happening in the Radio! TV Club, said George Wise, treasurer. With all the new developments in the Mass Com- munications Department, the club has finally gotten on its feet and is progressing and having fun. Aiming to become more visi- ble and sponsor more fun-fund- raising events, the Radio!TV Club orients the students to meet professionals in the field. The club serves as an eye-opener, said Jim Dufek, one of the three advisors. We try to have at least one professional from the radio or TV business come and speak once a month, said President Mark Kumming. Linda Job, secretary of the club, added, The mem- bers can see what's going on outside of the classes and what professionals are expecting of them. Speakers this past year includ- ed professionals from television, radio and private industries in broadcast, such as Dana Wirth from KFVS-TV, Randy Railee from St. Louis' KSHE-Q5 and Gary Rust, publisher of the Bulletin- Journal. The club's main project was to have as many social and fund raising events as possible to send members to NABXITVA. We want to send as many interested members as possible to the National Association of Broad- castersflnternational Television Association CNABXITVAD conven- tion in Dallas, said Kumming Going to the conventions, Rocllo!TV Club meeting the professionals in the field supplements the broadcast- ing lab experiences, but it also introduces the future profession- al to some of the realities of the rapidly changing tele-communi- cations field, said Herb Taylor, another advisor. Professionally oriented - yes, said Job. But we have a lot of fun. This year the club sponsored softball games, partic- ipated and won third in the Homecoming float contest, visit- ed nursing homes and donated turkeys to the Salvation Army at Thanksgiving. They also spon- sored and organized the Mass Communications Banquets. Offi- cers were Mark Kumming, presi- dent, Melissa Reimler, vice presi- dent, George Wise, treasurer, Linda Job, secretary, and Mike Scott and John Weber, Student Government representatives. - Carol5mlrh Mark Kumming and George Wise pre- sent the captain of the Salvation Army with Thanksgiving turkeys.

Improvements in the parking situation, the acquisition of on-campus bank- ing, and more funding for stu- dent organizations topped the list. According to Scott Reynolds, Student Government president, This year's overall goal was to be a voice for the student body and relay their needs to the administration. ln the past, Stu- dent Government has been more concerned with their inter- nal structure. This year, Student Government went straight to the issues affecting the entire student body. Along with the above listed improvements, the absen- tee policy and the drop date policy were put under review. The budget for student organi- zations was increased by S2o,OOO, which allowed 80 more organizations to be funded. A student organizations room was opened to allow any student organization to carry on every- day business. To further aid student organizations, public in- formation boards were set up to allow their news to be spread more efficiently. Involvement in student organizations was also encouraged to each incoming freshman during orientation. An- other Student Government activ- ity that encouraged involve- ment in student organizations was the Carnival of Clubs. Ac- cording to Reynolds, This year's Carnival brought about BOO people to be exposed to the many organizations available to the student. Great strides were made this year through a lot of hard work by the Student Government. Kathy Griffin, Student Govern- ment secretary, said, Debate on the bills on the Senate floor can sometimes last three or four hours a session. That does not include the work in the commit- tees that has been done before the debates. Griffin concluded, Student Government is the most intellec- tually stimulating organization on campus. It is not only a place to exchange ideas and opinions between yourself and peers, but also an excellent way to learn howto work with the administra- tion and faculty. You don't have to be a superbrain, but you do have to be willing to work, Reynolds added, This year, more students are involved. All it takes is caring and a willingness to work.
