Page 8 ln ROTC. IN R.O.T.C. the Hrst thing is military discipline and courtesy. Students are taught, throughout all their military serv- ice, to obey and respect their superior offi- cers. Students of basic military have two hours of lecture on general military pro- cedure and two hours of drill each week. Third year students find as a new pre- requisite their enlistment in a branch of the reserves. These men study advanced cavalry and concentrate on mounted drill. Iuniors study military tactics and tech- niques of cavalry maneuver, and seniors add military law. - TWO MORNINGS of the week the Women's Held is turned into the military drill Held. Over its spacious lawns march the student soldiers of the University of Arizona, led by the mem- bers of the advanced military department, and instructed by army personnel. INSTRUCTING TECHNICAL and tactical niilitary courses to the members of the aclvancccl military is thc job of Capt. I. M. Yarborough. Such studizw as map reading are a part of the regular curriculum these future cavalry ofiicers participate in. ' - V ---- - - - rags:-1 1- - 1.1 are n
