ROTC To Hold TelegraphicMeet Rifle Squad to Compete; Averill Explains Course Winter term enrollment in the University ROTC totals 178 men, Major W. S. Averill, commander of the unit, revealed recently. First Sgt. Malbum Mudd, a reg ular army man, and Cpl. Bruce R. Farmel, members of the major’s staff, were also at the interview. Sergeant Mudd is, as the army puts it, a "mustang.” He has had 19 years active duty in the army and nine years of this total can be charged to foreign duty. Mudd saw Japanese begin their rape of China and saw the Philippines before they were subjected to the so-called “Asia Order.” He is in charge of the ROTC rifle squad which will hold a tele graphic meet with an unannounced school in the near future. In hold ing these telegraphic meets both squads remain at their respective schools and final scores are given by phone or telegram. The squad has held one meet but returns have not been received. In explaining the ROTC courses, Major Averill said that the men receive the basic army fundamen tals in their freshman year and work into the more advanced courses during their junior and senior years. • Each summer the men are sent to camp for a few weeks under ac tual field conditions. While at camp they will receive private’s pay. Upon graduation they are commissioned second lieutenants and may hold this rank for the suc ceeding five years. During this time the newly commissioned men must take correspondence courses and tests to retain their ranks.

Spe cifically, there are two or three good liberals on the campus.” Bore Us Marge Andrews, sophomore in liberal arts: “Professors who are teaching subjects which bore them and also bore the students, yet they expect the students to stay wih their droning monologue in sead of doing something construc tive, such as spending the hour asleep. Pat Moran, sophomore in liberal arts: “Professors whose lectures are illogical."
