Hidden Opportunities In Belk Located in the lower level of Belk Dorm, the ROTC department may seem Isolated from the other curriculum departments at Da- vidson. But it is set off for a good reason — it is not just another academic department. ROTC offers all the experience of a leader- ship club, a team sport, and a service club rolled into one neat package flavored with a few classes and extra training. The program does this primarily through student-run units within the department. One of the most important ROTC units is the Cadet Cadre, composed of senior cadets who are responsible for the training of the Corps of Cadets. The major weight of this responsibility rests on the shoulders of Batal- lion CO. Cdt. Ltc. David Green and Bataliion XO, Cdt, Maj. Jorge Silveira. Assisting them are David Poe as Training and Operations Officer, Jeff Wright as Bataliion Sgt. Major, and Tim Bethea as Adjudant. The ROCs, another unit organized for mili- tary career motivated cadets, provides an op- portunity to learn advanced skills, such as mountain climbing, small group tactics, land navigation, and first aid for virtually any situa- tion. Scabbard and Blade, a military honor soci- ety, honors academic achievement and spon- sors two blood drives, a turkey shoot, and a military ball over the year. Each of these organizations offers students a position in leadership and an opportunity of learning to work efficiently with others to- ward a common goal. The department not only offers opportuni- ties to the cadets within the ROTC program but also offers services to the rest of the student body. The rifle team is sponsored and coached by SSG. Ransom Cooper, Jr. In an effort to acquaint more students with ROTC and its programs, open-house tours are given during freshman orientation. The bene- fits of this active role taken by the depart- ment to meet the freshmen are reflected in a sixty percent increase in first year cadet en- rollment over last year. Like Cadet George Thompson who states, I joined ROTC in con- sideration of the present and the future, more and more students are realizing how well ROTC can equip one for careers after Davidson, whether military or otherwise. -Lisa Sloan DRAWING BLOOD painlessly is a Davidson ROTC spe cialty.
