mmmm Signs of the Times— Army Installs ROTC Unit at Wake Forest; Colonel Terrell in Command LT. COLONEL Joseph H. Terrell, Jr., professor of military science and tac- tics, commands Wake Forest ROTC unit. I ' d sure like to know just what the army calls ' incknunt weather. ' It ' s snowing as thick as hcminy out there, and we still gotta ' drill. Hey, Mac, can you guess what that guy with all those .stripes on his shoulder just told me ' He savs 1 gotta ' put my collar down. What ' s a collar tor if it ain ' t for davs like this- Steadx there. Joe; here comes all the hrass for that command conference the ' always have. Talk like that might hurt their sensitive ears. Ya ' know, I ' m not so sure It ' s gonna ' he worth two ears ot drill to get to wear a pie plate like that. . . . Let ' s go, men, barks an officer. Outside and in vour company areas. Drill as usual today. .■ visitor to Wake Forest might have been surprised at the above conversation — surely this wasn ' t what he ex- pected f f Baptist Hollow . But rhe peaceful little school of the past had changed; things were different now. Ihcre was a war in Korea — a bitter, full-scale war. Hundreds ot men had left college to volunteer, more were preparing to go. In the spring of 195 I, Dr. Harold W. Tribblc, realizing the necessity of keeping qualified men in college, began plans for the establishment of a unit of the Reserved Of- ficers Training Corps at Wake Forest. The unit, a branch of the U. S. Army Chemical Corps Reserve, began operations in September of 1951. PFC ' s learned to sew their stripes on right-sidc-up; privates realized that frat pins and 1 Like Ike badges couldn ' t be worn on uniforms; SARgeants got that tough-as-nails quality; officers n.arched their commands through mud holes — and then reported them for dirty shoes. But in spite of demerits, heavy rifles, and the phenomenon of Tuesdas ailments, the Corps rapidly developed into a snappv. cflicicnf, and colorful unit. 14 FUTURE OFFICERS LINE UP FOR UNIFORMS. GRID STARS SHOW ENTHUSIASM FOR ROTC.
