AIR SCIENCE AND TATIC Cadet Major Lee Dirks, Public Information Officer for the ROTC, prepares to carry out a command at the Dads, Day Review The Air Force blue of students enrolled in DPU7s Reserve Officers, Training Command is a familiar sight on campus. Now in its fifth year, the purpose of the Department of Air Science and Tactics is to develop college-trained men as ofiicers for the United States Air Force. Based on liberal arts courses, the program teaches the ROTC cadet the fundamentals of military strategy and the qualities of leadership and management. The Cadet Corps itself is under the direction of the students, while the regular officers teach the academic studies and supervise training procedures. The first semester, it was thought that the unit was to he removed from the campus at the end of the 1956 semester because of low enrollment. However, this decision was later reversed by the Air University. DePauw University was the lever behind this decis- ion, Officials feel that the unit fills a valuable place in the curriculum. After enrollment in the program for four years and attending summer camp, the DePauw male is eligible for a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force. From the experience received in piloting their first planes during the freshman year to the extended nation- wide trips taken in the following years, the men of ROTC gain first-hand information of Air Force tech- niques. The cadet drill team, riHe squads, band and newspaper all go into making a full program for the prospective Air Force ofiicer of tomorrow, '14 Top Row: TfSgt. J. Cunningham, Mf Sgt. B. King, Capt. R.
