“The adjustments facing "a fresh-
man v are difficult in any college*
but when combined^with the nec
essary ones at a military college
they are greater,” Colonel H. L.
Boatner new' commandant of ca
dets and professor of military
science and tactics said when in
terviewed recently.
Colonel Boatnir continued, “The
freshmen must meet the duo prob
lem of adjusting to the difficul
ties of college life while also fac
ing the newness of a recruit’s
life.” As a cheering factor he re
ferred to the many graduates of
this school. “However‘ all Aggies
have made .this adjustment since;
the start of the college and the military training department and
national reputation of this school the personnel. He quoted, “It is

has been built on these men.”
When, questioned on the military
pjpegram that the Freshman will
be inducted to, he stated, “Military
training •Received at the Annex Will
be identicaV with that received on
the Campus in that Freshmen will
have their own staff, tactical bffi-s
cer, and military property custod-:
iah whq.will issue clothing and re
lated items at the field.”
. Colonel Boatner went on to
explain, “Freshmen leaders will
be selected from those newcom
ers who have had some prior
training. In this way Freshmen
will .have the opportunity to
show their true Colors and what
they can do under their own
class leadership.”
He feels he is somewhat quali
fied to understand a freshman’s
problems for he was a freshman
at Tulane University after Ki^
First World War service as a pri
vate in tne Marine Corps. He was
again a freshman at West Point
where he graduated in 1024. He
succeeded Coloney Guy S. Meloy
in the position of commandant in
August of this year. , • j
As an-aid to newcomers he said,
“Many have the misconceived idea
that discipline and punishment are
the same thing. Discipline is noth
ing but the submission of one’s
will to ordinary conduct. Punish
ment will be inflicted only on those
unwilling to cany on in this man-

“Nothin|; I have said should be
taken to mean that newcomers
will .undergo undue hardships.
Your health, food, and living con
ditions will be carefully checked
to ascertain that you will not
have to bear excessive discom
fort.” Colonel Boatner continned
“Since you were small, you have
been warned that you must take
things like a soldier. Now ybu
are facing your first test;”
He cited the report,issued after
the last annual inspection by the
inspecting party which made the
general inspection of the A&M

the unanimous decision of the
Board of Inspectors that the ca
dets of A&M College reflected its
high state of discipline and train
ing 'by their military appearance
and attitude.’?
He continued reading from the
report, “ . . the concensus of this
board is that the performance of
the Corps of Cadets, its superb ad
ministration, -and the meritorious
storage, maintenance, and protec
tion of government property re-
veale4 a pre-eminently outstanding
Reserve Officer’s Training Corps
unit.” ; |
He said in reference to this
record made by the cadets under
the command of Coloney Meloy,
“I feel certain that with the un
derstanding and intelligent co
operation of all Freshmen that
the rating will be even higher
this year than last.”

Reserve Officers
Promotion Plan Is
Started by Abbott
A neyr long-range promotion
plan for; officers in the Organized
Reserve Uorps has been made pub
lic by Colonel Oscar B. .Abbott,
Senior Instructor of the Orgai ‘
ReserveiCorps in Texas.. This
- , new
policy is for the promotion of Re
serve officers while assigned in
the Active Reserve, and does not
apply to Inactive Reserve or the
Honorary Reserve officers.
The Department of the Army
pointed ijout that beginning Jan
uary 1,| 1949, a Reserve officer
must obtain in each calendar year
30 hounj of credit in order to re
main ini the Active Reserve, and
thereby retain eligibility for inac
tive duty training pay, promotion,
assignment to an active Reserve
unit, or mobilization position and
credits retirement.
In . December, 1947, the proced
ure Wheiieby a Reserve Officer may
accrue credit hours was outlined
in detail’ by the Department of the
Army, participation in classes or
schools Either as a student or in
structor,);. completion of extension
sub-courSes, administrative work
with Reserve units or a court or
k' H ■ ^■• ! '
board, and tours of active duty are
some of the methods provided for
the procurement of the. credit
hours by active Reservist. “
Officer promotions in the Active
Reserve w8l be made to fill avail
able position within grade authori
zations established by the Army
to meet procurement objectives for
any possible mobilization.
Selective procedures for promo
tion will be followed in order to se
cure .the best qualified officers
reasonably available to fill these
position vacancies. For this pur
pose Reserve Selection Boards will
be appointed by area commanders.
Reserve officers will be represent
ed on the Selective Boards.
Reserve officers serving on Ex~
tended Active Duty with the Army
are. also eligible for Reserve Corps
promotion under this plan.
