Tech ' s ROTC members were here having to get on with their dally lives, and some even yearned to be there with the other soldiers. According to Shea Russell, a senior advertising major from Garland. It is hard enough to be a student and there- fore, the time requirement is why they (ROTC) lost a lot of members. Russell said that Army ROTC. for example, went from 42 members to 17 in a relatively short period of time. Each member ' s day starts off on physical training (PT) days by 6 a.m. This training is led by a junior or senior member and consists of sit-ups, push- ups and running. Before enrolling in ROTC, members must go through a summer training N camp where cadets learn what it is like to be a soldier and the importance of keeping up an appropriate image. Each unit has a standard day of the week to wear a specific uniform ironed and creased to perfection. Many members said that all of the effort for perfection was worth it so as not to tarnish the image of their unit. Each student is required to document a minimum of 18 study hours per week. Members volunteered to work in the Hispanic community or at hospitals. Others helped clean Jones Stadium after football games. There were also food drives, escorts for the Miss Texas Tech pageant and intramural sports. Without a doubt I have learned re- sponsibility, said Robert Aguilar, a senior chemistry major from Natalia. by Michelle Paul 24 - Student Soldier
