THE BATTALION Page 9 WEDNESDAY, OCT, 15, 1975 Fish Drill Team acquires practice rifles Fish Drill Team preparations for > 1975-76 competition season vebeen given a boost. The all-freshman team has ac- ired 100 practice rifles. Supplied ough the Naval ROTC program, acquisition enables each of the member team to get early ex perience handling the rifle. Col. Jack Ivins, NROTC head, said the NROTC unit welcomed the chance to assist a special unit of the Corps of Cadets. The detachment is the newest of the ROTC programs here. It has been in operation three years. Earlier FDT supply was largely by the Army, which also assisted the Ross Volunteers and Texas Aggie Band. The 100 rifles are Mark V dummy drill weapons. They are “de militarized” versions of the 0-3 Springfield rifle. The chamber of each has been split, the bolt welded shut and muzzle plugged. Sharp protusions have been removed, to reduce injuries. “Otherwise, the Mark V s are the same weight and have the same ba lance and outward appearance of the 0-3,” commented Marine Corps Maj. Steve Berkheiser. He, Maj. Dick Descheneaux of the Air Force ROTC detachment and Capt. John Miller, Army, are Fish Drill Team sponsors. The new drill pieces have high impact fiberglass-type stocks that are more resilient and durable to Look at these FedMarf meat savings with this coupon FedMart 0 FM Regular Ground Beef.., '.' v WITH THIS COUPON REDEEMABLE AT FEDMART By adults only/Limit 1 lb. pkg. per family at this price.

Maj. Berkheiser said the FDT will continue to use Springfields as competition arms. They are chromed and have highly-polished walnut stocks. The latter are more susceptible to breakage. “The great thing about these new pieces is that each of the freshmen will now have practice rifles,” Maj. Berkheiser said. “The competition weapons can’t he used for teaching throws.” With the added practice capabil ity, it is probable that two teams will be entered in the Houston competi tion in December. Senior advisor Joe Wallace and upperclass advisors have been dril ling the fish since tryouts were completed early this fall. “The team has as good a hunch of raw talent as it’s had in quite a while,” Berkheiser said. “Forty to 50 were members of high school drill units. Even though some un learning’ and reteaching’ to our methods is necessary, the group has moved faster through basic prepara tions.” The Fish Drill Team’s main com petition season comes next spring.
