l. Joe is only one of the Gmany names given to Joseph Nicholson, who, for good reasons, paraded about the campus in green Army fatigues. He is a second lieutenant in the military science tROTQ program. Nicholson got started in the program by staying after military science class one day. Soon he was practicing march- ing, drill, and military man- euvers at basic camp. He has now completed advanced camp. The reality of war is often missing from the many movies made about war. War is an ugly thing and we have what you call the John Wayne syndrome. We're trying to outlive a lot of the rumors that aren't true about Army life, said Nicholson. If war is ugly, why does he stay in the program? You loe Nicholson, junior, and Craig Tavani, senior, rappell off the ROTC tower located beside the football practice field during the tower's dedication in early September.

As a senior in the program, he instructed juniors. The Army's living doll wears green fatigues and drinks learn a lot of leadership skills, confidence, and pride that carries over into everyday life. Advanced camp is where the cadets run the core and a lot depends on each man pulling his own weight. All this sounds good and fits well with the cliche What this country needs is good leadership. But does Army life involve sacrificing the Christian standard? No, according to Nichol- son. I wouldn't bend for anyone. I was a little light on the hill that stood alone. It was real hard because everyone was afraid to stand out. i didn't isolate myself from the rest. While they were around drinking their beer, laughing, I had my Mellow Yellow right there enjoying a good time too. There were guys that would pick at me because of my Christianity, but there were usually five guys on my side too that one who was against me. At school the witness and regimen continued. Evangel students had a lab at 6 am. ,yW Winston Larry Knot tying, necessary to rappelling and wilderness survival, is also part of the ROTC program. Besides illustrat- ing the various types of knots, Nicholson taught about rope tensile strength.

Nicholson explained that growth in a completely different way, growth for yourself comes with the choice to join the Army. 8 - Sandy Brannon Winston tarry To fit over the top of his boots, Nicholson turns up the cuffs of his uniform. A neat personal appearance, a part of the regulation uniform, was expected of the ROTC cadets. Nicholson talks with his commanding officer, Maior Charles Gibson.

Moonlighting No serious loss ost students come to college with the in- tention of working - on assignments and papers, on relationships, on cleaning the room, and working off the cafeteria fare. Working in the real world for real money, however, is not on the list. It seems impossible to integrate college and an off-campus job without losing something e quality points or a roommate's friendship in the process. Good news! Working and going to college fulltime can be, and was done without serious damage to grade point averages, social relationships, and without a room being condemned by the Board of Health tor a resident coun- selory. The only real consequence to the student who worked was the loss of llunstructured time. It cuts my afternoon study time real short, said Cathy Pearson, junior, about her job as a teacher at Park Crest Day Care Center. Bob McGlausson, fresh- Senior Rod Teuber, accountingwman- agemenl major, works at his desk at the United Missouri Bank of Spring- field. Teuber worked 20 hours a week at this maior-related job. Tom Quick in the process man, worked at St. John's Hospital as a lab technician from 3 to 11 pm. three days a week. He was able to get his studying done on the days he didn't work. Sandy Peterson, senior, was employed at the General Council of the Assemblies of God Headquarters. She worked 30-35 hours a week as an accounts payable clerk and took 13 credit hours, all of which were night classes. lll tend to only get a chance to study on weekends, she ex- plained. Debbie Freeberg, so- phomore, was one of several students that worked at Trot- ters Restaurant. She comment- ed that she always had trouble finding time to study - even when she wasn't working. Finding a job usually dis- mayed most prospective student-employees. Exper- ience or connection proved to be valuable aids in obtaining a job for students. Miss Peterson was given a reference by George Crawford, her llInter- mediate Accounting instruc- tor and former employee in the same department at Head- quarters. b Tom Quick At the computer terminal, Rod Teuber, senior, calls up information on new loans. He also handled balancing loans and loan payoffs. Rod Teuber, senior, balances install- ment loans as part of his morning's work. Teuber is responsible for giving payoff figures on the loans.
