Reserve Officers Training courses are offered to the young men at Wash- burn and they may rise from the lowest uncom- missioned airman to the high rank of lieutenant colonel. A highlight of the training is the chance to go for an excursion in the planes. Cadets are also able to get the feel of such a ride right in class because of modern equipment used in the instruction of these courses. The cadets are commissioned second lieuten- ants upon graduation from college, but they must take part in a training camp required of them in the summer between their junior and senior year of college, The camp lasts a total of six weeks and prepares the men for actual military living. The social whirl takes a little step into the R.O.T.C. Department. Every spring the cadets and their dates are honored at the Military Ball held at the Forbes Officers Club.
