Initiation of a cadet replace- rtient program in the Cadet Corps has been announced by Col. Jim H. McCoy, commandant. The program •will assure con tinued strength and prestige of the Corps by encouraging stu dents to become Corps members. Cadets originated the concept and designed a distinctive medal to be awarded annually on Par ents Day to active Corps mem bers who replace themselves. Individual cadets who bring into the Corps a new member will earn the award to be fur nished by the Association of Former Students, unit credit toward the Gen. George F. Moore Award and new student retention points if the replacement is a freshman, Col. McCoy explained. The commanaant said n e w cadets may be drawn from the ranks of high school graduates, the civilian student segment of undergraduate enrollment or from junior college transfers. TO RECEIVE credit, the re cruiting cadet must assist his replacement to remain in the Corps through the first school year in which the new cadet par ticipates as a Corps member. The program will enhance Corps-wide retention of new stu dents, a commandant’s office of ficial pointed out. The replace ment may not be assigned to the same unit of his recruiter. “The cadet will have to stay in touch with upperclassmen of the unit to which his replacement is assigned, to look after his award interests,” explained Frank Nico las, assistant to the commandant. “AT THE same time, the new cadet’s outfit will be interested in keeping him in the Corps, for freshman retention points to ward the General Moore Award,” he added. Although the Cadet Replace ment Program is based primar ily on a “one-for-one” arrange ment, a cadet may earn unit credit for each recruited cadet in addition to his own replacement. Replacement credit will be weighted equally with freshman retention, McCoy said. The individual award, to be presented on Mothers Day each May, features the legendary Phoenix rising in flames against a badkground of a Maroon “TAM” and crossed rifle and saber. The symbol of rebirth and freshness to the ancient world will serve as the symbol of re freshing the heritage and tradi tion that is the Corps of Cadets, he added. SUN. R >.’Chili Salad, Sauce, .
