Marc Sullivan One small step for mankind can be a daring move. Over one hundred students and cadets took the day off from studying to fall off A buildings on October 12. As part of a confidence-building experience, the Army ROTC gave lessons in rapelling at the Rochester Fire Academy Building, located jji just a few miles south of RIT. The adventurers took turns going over the ® edge to the awaiting net 50 feet down. The P operation was supervised by Captain Hank Waters, the safety officer for the day. The ROTC provided buses from the College Union every half hour to allow people living Ein the residence halls and apartments a chance to participate in the exercise. A feeling of accomplishment was felt by the rape Hers who attended the event, as they L leapt off tall buildings in a single bound. This experience can be had by all dauntless students, since the Army ROTC offers this program every fall quarter. Marc Sullivan 25
