Now in the fifth week of classes, a Corps-wide revitalization program is in full swing. “Old Army” ways, kin to the Corps since its beginning at this University, have been pushed aside and class duties have been shuffled and redealt in an attempt to “put leadership where needed most.” “We re just kind of cleaning the mud out of the Corps,” said Tom Wilson, Corps personnel officer.

And juniors have taken on the sopho mores’ former role. Traditionally seniors had few re- sponsibilites, which allowed some to adopt a “sit back and die” attitude their last year in the Corps — not so this year, however. Based on the revitalization philo sophy that the Corps could reap in numerable benefits from the seniors’ 3 years of prior experience as a cadet, they are this year playing a more active role in developing and execut ing Corps policy. In the past juniors wrote most policy. “In order for the Corps to work, the juniors and seniors must really give back to the freshmen and sopho mores what they have learned,” Wil son said. The revitalization program origin ated as an experiment in the Fifth Battalion last year and was deemed such a success that it was instituted Corps-wide this year. “Consistently, the yearly GPR (grade point ratio) has been lower than the rest of the University, Wil son said. “And each year the Univer sity grows, but the size of the Corps either declines or stays the same. Either we re not attracting people or not retaining them.” In addition, he said some express ed concern that the seniors in the Corps “really didn’t have much to do. They were dead. ” “Hopefully the revitalization program will be able to correct and rid the Corps of all these problems, ” he said. One of the main objectives of the program is to put good leadership where it is needed the most. “Instructing the freshmen was hard on the sophomores because they were still wet behind the ears, i they still had a lot of anxiety just coming off' their freshmen year and they had no real ground, he said. •adership I Rennet of his fi refinish few hav And until last year, their GPR«! consistently lower than any otu class in the Corps, Wilson said.
