These classes are intended to acquaint the graduates with military life and protocol, neces- sary information in the regular Army. A different form of training was the war fought by Army ROTC cadets in rifle-carrying mock battles. More than 95 cadets, including 65 advance corps ROTC students, participated in a company attack problem under the supervision of Capt. Darrel B. Kamp- schror, instructor in military science. The rifles were loaded with blanks, but the cadets were supposed to take their offensive mission as seriously as if a real war were involved. Night re- connaissance patrols were also estab- lished. Emphasis was placed upon con- duct in battle and leadership in apply- ing basic tactics learned in the class- room. For many practice days, Techsans saw soldiers in full dress gear lurk- ing behind buildings and trees. The drill orders called out on Thursday afternoon marches have also helped make other campus students aware of AROTC cadets. These various types of training are directed toward creating well-educa- ted leaders physically, mentally, and so- cially qualified for positions in the Army. Tech cadets train to serve the armed services and their country well. THIRD BATTALION Left to right are Richard Linnartz and Mack Wll- llanns. M Cadets are, left to right, James L. Smith, Frank A.
