To the 200 Toxhh AiltM eadoU
undergoing a Hix-wecka courao in

way of formations, calls, drill and
the like was forthcoming-
However, tho remaining 450 ca

the southwest found their lives
changed considerably.

students attend classes in service

Maintenance engineering students
go over to the hangar area to! work
around aircraft. Other unitsj such
?as .statistical control, armdment,
and communications, work with
their respective departments.
At noon ali classroom activities
cease for a momentous 45-minute
period—we eat. Following that, the
afternoon is spent in drill, physi

To break tho monotony of camp
life certain social activities have
been scheduled. For example, last
Friday night a dance was held in
the KM Club. This Friday the
young 1 ladies of Fort $am Houston
have invited cadets to a dance to
be held in the Officer’s Club at that
base. Saturday a beer bust is to
be given here on the base.
Cadets i are organised much as
they arc* at A&M. The (550 college
