A six-man team from the 3rd ROTC Region conducted an inspection of the Nicholls program and was quite pleased with its findings, according to Maj. Nolan Pike. The program, which has an enroll- ment of 108 students, offered a course in orienteering. Orienteering combines environmental awareness, physical fit- ness and competitiveness. MTS Edward Trent coached the participants. Six seniors in advanced Army ROTC were awarded RECONDO Badges while attending the ROTC Advanced Camp at Fort Riley, Kansas. To qualify, the students had to go through obstacle courses, complete a successful rappel from a height of at least 50 feet, and negotiate several other courses.
