Military Training is Suddenly a Primary Activity Commando tactics, complete with bayonets, were fea ' tured in some of the R.O.T.C. units. The two lads in the top picture at the left realize the importance of offensive warfare. Battles are not won by troop action alone, however. Transportation and mechanization are familiar terms to military students. Practical training with trucks received plenty of attention during the past year. One of the biggest activities the military office has had was handling the mass of enlisted reserves. The final act of the process was being sworn in which Col. McLeod, former P.M.S. and T. now in Washington, is shown doing below.

Student Participation in Projects was Unlimited All campus projects were under the supervision of the Projects Committee of the M.S.C. Coordinating Defense Council. There was nothing too big or too small for a C.D.C. project. For example there was the Victory Forum, silk and nylon Stocking Drives, SWACes, summer job placement service, and a Stamp Pledge Drive. Several non-credit courses were held in First Aid, Communications, Surgical dressings, as well as other related fields. Perhaps one of the most unusual things was voluntary beet-pulling. Groups of students went into the fields for half-day sessions of pulling and topping stacks of the crop. Thus a large part of the sugar beet supply was saved which otherwise never would have left the fields because of the critical shortage of labor.
