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.

usually is formed the first few
weeks of school in the fall.
The Ross Volunteers act as the
honor guard for the Governor of
Texas duing his inauguration

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

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.

(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.
