Page 2 College Station, Texas Wednesday, August 2, 1972 THE BATTALION Now has Naval ROTC Leaders are trained by Corps The A&M Corps of Cadets is as old as the university itself, with the land grant origin pro viding for military training at the school. An expansion of the Corps this year is the addition of Naval ROTC to the program, making A&M the second institution in the nation to offer officer training in all three services (Army, Air Force and Navy). The other is The Citadel, located in Charles ton S. C. While ROTC on other college campuses is a twice-a-week activ ity, A&M’s Corps is a full-time way of life. Cadets are divided into units according to their branch of service and academic major. Units are housed together in the Duncan area (Dorms 1-12). The Corps strives to develop all aspects of its members' lives, academic, physical and extra curricular. Cadets live their days according to a time schedule, with study hours and conditions being enforced Sunday through Thurs day nights. The main object of the Corps is to provide leadership training for all involved. Although it is military-oriented and has a fine history of service to the country, many Corps members do not serve more than two years in the military after graduation. Due to this decrease in empha sis by the U.S., the Corps has changed to meet the leadership training needs of those indi viduals who will pursue civilian careers. Positions in the Corps are de termined after an extensive selec tion process has taken place. Senior cadets serve as officers, while juniors hold positions filled by noncommissioned officers in the service. Sophomores do the tasks of corporals. The Corps holds several re views on the Drill Field for special occasions, such as the Stu dent Conference on National Af fairs, Military Day, Parents Day and Final Review. Also, a Corps march-in precedes home football games in Kyle Field. Twice a year, Corps Trips are made to out-of-town football games, with a downtown parade displaying the Corps to Dallas or Fort Worth and Houston or Austin. A&M’s Fish Drill Team, com posed exclusively of Corps fresh men, has won the national drill championship at the Cherry Blos som Festival in Washington, D.C., five consecutive years. This group Tutoring help available to freshmen The Texas A&M Scholastic Service (TAMSS) will once again be offering incoming freshmen free tutoring during the fall semester. TAMSS was established in August, 1971 and has since emerged as the largest tutoring services of its kind in the na tion. Last year TAMSS involved the top 128 members of the class of 1974 who composed the top 25 per cent of the membership of Phi Eta Sigma, the national freshman academic honor soci ety. These honor student tutors were selected on the basis of out standing scholastic achievement. TAMSS, jointly sponsored by Phi Eta Sigma and the Student Senate, will offer a wide range of courses in the fall. These in clude Anthropology, Agronomy, Architecture, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Environ mental Design, Economics, Me chanical Engineering, Civil En gineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Com puter Science. Registration will be conducted during the second week of the fall semester with booths being set up for the purpose in the Memorial Student Center, the University Library, and the Aca demic Building. Only those stu dents requiring help on a regu lar weekly basis should register. Students who need help with specific problems, papers, or quizzes on an intermittent basis should call their campus section representative who will put them in contact with a tutor. In addition, TAMSS will have dormitory representatives in each Corps and Civilian dorm to co ordinate activities at the dormi tory level. During the semester TAMSS will be offering special refresher courses to freshmen and will be organizing several help sessions in the library on a round-the- clock basis. Freshmen enrolled in TAMSS will have access to the most ex tensive quiz file on campus. They may also be able to “audit” pre liminary courses free of charge, subject to the approval of the instructor. Further information can be ob tained from TAMSS senior ad viser, Salahuddin Shariq Yosuf- zai of the TAMSS committee chairman at the senate office in the MSC or from the office of Dr. C. H. Ransdell, Assistant Dean of Engineering, Room 203, Zachry Engineering Center.

The Ross Volunteers act as the honor guard for the Governor of Texas duing his inauguration and other festive occasions. The elite unit is made up of junior and senior cadets chosen after a highly selective process. They also serve as the honor guard for King Rex during the Mardi Gras in New Orleans, La. The 1972-73 Corps commander is Ron Krnavek of Corpus Christi. He will be assisted by Deputy Corps Commander Wade Seidel of Brenham and a staff of nine seniors and six juniors. Another part of the Corps is the Aggie Band, the largest mili tary band in the world. Noted for their intricate maneuvers, the Band plays at yell practices, leads the Corps in reviews and parades, performs at all home football and basketball games and other university events. Ron Krnavek Councils serve civilians, grads Two government organizations which serve specific segments of the student body are the Civilian Student Council and the Graduate Student Council. The GSC, headed by junior geo physics major Mark Blakemore, plans the activities for Civilian Week, a spring program which includes games, a dance, a Town Hall performance and a sweet heart contest. Many civilian dorms have resi dent hall programs, and events are planned for off-campus stu dents. The CSC holds regular meetings to deal with the specific problems of civilians. The Graduate Student Council (GSC) is led by Dick Zepeda, a Ph.D. student in industrial edu cation. The GSC seeks to relate its con stituents to life at A&M. In the past several years, this organi zation has made progressive im provements for graduate students. Among these are more equi table representation on the Sen ate, better conditions in univer sity housing, academic improve ment suggestions nad other proj ects. FOR BEST RESULTS' TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED a dental coz Fbr the man-sized appetite: (The Super TVeat) This treat isn’t for everyone. But if you’ve got a man-sized appetite, we’ve got a Super Treat to take care of it. First, a Super Shef: a full quarter-pound of lean beef broiled over an open flame with all the trimmings from fresh lettuce and juicy tomatoes to hot, melted cheese. More than enough for most appetites, but not the man-sized one. For that BURGER CHEF rounds out the Super Treat with crisp, tender french fries and a very large soft drink. Treat your man-sized appetite to a Super Treat. The more good food BURGER CHEF puts together, the better the treat. 2301 Texas Ave. 822-6334 Coca Cola the “Real Thing” tm Family Restaurants It's a Great Year for the Aggies! Sales Dept.
