FRESH INDOCTRINATIO This year's freshmen were very eager to get to Vanderbilt and begin life as college students. ln partic- ular, they were eager to begin life as NROTC midship- men. This new experience began with freshmen indoc- trination one August morning about 9:00 AM. Not knowing what lay ahead for the next four days, the freshmen fell under the leadership of the battalion officers. Many believed the four days would pass quickly and easilyg others later changed their minds. Many things had to be done during indoctrination: thus the days were extremely long and tiring. The average day began between 4:30 and 5:00 AM. The freshmen woke up to such various forms ofexercises as calesthenics one day, a simulated PFT another, a circuit course yet on a third day, and a tearing down of bunks on the final day. One midshipman especially found that tearing down the racks was definitely an exercise. ln addition hair had to be cut, forms to get filled out, Vanderbilt and NROTC pictures to be taken, uniforms to be distributed, and lectures to be given, along with many other items of interest.

The four squads found a change running an orienteering race, the purpose of which was to become familiar with the campus. The freshmen perhaps saw light at the end of the tunnel on Friday. Friday was the day of the field meet. the skits and the picnic. From there on out, the freshmen knew that they had been accepted into the unit, and that they had earned that right. The indoctrination can be summed up easily. The time allotted was very short compared to what needed to be done, but this was done for a purpose: to help the freshmen learn how to utilize time well. Although the freshmen went through a rough time, they now see that the NROTC unit is quite a good program and that the real life at Vanderbilt is quite different from lndoctrin- ation. Ken Allen if
