Department Of Behavioral Science And Leadership By Tony Bennett and Tim Mersereau I Remember the First Day of PL 100 Good morning, boys and girls. My name is Major Rogers. Can you say 'Roger'? Well, you probably can, but we're not allowed to let you. You know, Army regulations and all that silly stuff. So you can call me 'Sir.' Can you say 'Sir.' I thought you could. Wait a minute. What's going on? Where am I? It looks like Thayer Hall. Yep, same windowless rooms, same bad light- ing. The teacher is even wearing one of those green suits. Boys and girls, let's make name tags so I can learn your first names. My first name? It's been so long, I don't remember my first name. Now, boys and girls, in PLIOO we know how hard it is for you here. So we try to help you whenever possible. We know how stressful taking a test can be, so in PL100 we let you take a retest. That way, you get two chances on the question. So relax, have fun, enjoy yourself . . . How twisted, they're trying to put us at ease, so they can catch us offguard with a graded board. They're using that psy- chology stuff. Well, I won't fall for it. Boys ancl girls, today we're going to talk about Abnormal Behavior. Jimmy, try to stay awake. Abnormal Behavior is be- havior that goes against the norms of society. Sorta' like the Corps at a movie? Right, Billy, good answer. Jimmy, please try to stay awake. Now one exam- ple of abnormal behavior is Paranoid Schizophrenia Can you say 'paranoid schizophrenia'? I didn't think you could. Now, paranoid schizophrenia is charac- terized by a loss of contact with reality and delusions of persecution and gran- deur and . . . -Sounds like my TAC. Now, Billy it's good that your getting these feelings out of your system, but try to redirect them towards something else, something like your PL1O0 homework. Jimmy you must have had a long night. Why don't you go back to your room? It's alright, you won't get in trouble. I don't want to keep anyone in here that doesn't really want to be here. Class, where are you going? Class? Class! It was the first time we got our tests back when we realized that indeed BS Sr L belonged at West Point. Now, boys and girls, here are your tests. I'm a little disappointed in your perfor- mances. But here in PLIOO you get to try again. Any questions? Uh, sir, what about this question? Billy do you mean the Integrated Per- formance Objective? Uh, yeah, sir, right. Sir why is this wrong? Well, Billy it's not really wrong. How- ever, you forgot to use the key words Hperceptional set, parasympathetic and action observer bias. So that's why you got zero out of 35. But sir, didn't I have the right idea? Yes, you did Billy, but if you don't use those words, how can you expect a psy- chology major to understand you? Next question? Yes, I have many fond memories of PL100. The direct talk fcan you say guiltj, Pavlov's theory of conditioning fit re- minded me of Beastj, and the high point of the year, the sexual education talk fwe all stayed awake for that onej. Yes, many, many fond memories of PL100, a true part of the West Point experience.

H 1GH 495 By Timothy Knight With a securely fortified position on the first and second floors of Bartlett I-Iall, the Department of Electrical Engineering has deeply affected cadets, both past and present, and will undoubtedly affect those of the future as well. Whether HPA or MSE, Juice is as electrifying as a rock. However, cadets enjoy Juice be- 26 Administration cause it enables them to, write letters, catch up on homework, or simply enjoy the rack time brought about by the phrase, . . . using Nodal analysis, it is obvious that . . . Yet, for some unknown reason, a few cadets annually decide to major in this electromagnetic field. Com- monly referred to as GEEKS fcan't spell without E.E.J, they are often spotted going fishing in the bowels of Bartlett I-lall. These unsung heroes valiantly re- sist short-circuiting their never-ending capacitive and inductive current sinks. And, through it all, the Juice instructors simply smile and say, May the sum of the voltages of life force the current of knowledge to flow in your direction.
