Innovation and change have prevailed as two important elements of the US Army ROTC staffs program during the last three years. Most of the changes can be accredited to Lt. Col. Kenneth L. Scott and Lt. Col. Franklin Werner, in charge of the operation, who have broadened the academic program, encouraged school spirit as well as F-spi it de Corps, and placed more sttess on cadet personal development. Recent summer camp ratings measured the success of the changes. In a previous year. UW-M finished thirty-second out of thirty-three schools attending summer ramp at Fort Riley, Kansas I-ast year, they lorg-cd their way up to sixth place among 12 entrees.

A greater feeling ol pride has crept into the ROTC group, a feeling which lias revitalized the established organization and is gradually swelling the ranks mi that more and more qualified olliccrs are being trained and graduated from UW-M. This year alone, many more students have volunteered for the training program and a far greater percentage remain, probably because they no longer feel uncomfortably drawn into military activities anti left out of contact with school activities that still are of active interest to them. Now, with an expanded program that reaches out into new interests for the students, while maintaining the rigorous standards of the Army, tTW-M'x military science department bet. ter serves it's students, school, community, and country.
