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.
According to the revitalization
program, sophomores in the Corps

providing leadership and dishing out
punishment — this year find them
selves with a more indirect advisory
role which was once the juniors’.
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.
