(Reserve Officers Training Corps) , Infantry Unit, but few know much more about it th:m the above. To give its history in brief, its object concisely and its future is the object of this article. The Unit was installed here in 1916, turned into a Students' Army Training Corps from Sep tember, 1918, to December 23, 1918, and again re-established in February, 1919. Since it has been established there have been no graduates of the R. O. '. C. The first class to graduate and be eligible for commission in the Officers' Reserve Corps will graduate in June, 1922. Ap proximately 17 men will gradu ate at that time. They are Mc Call, W. S., Sanders, H. K., San ders, P. W., deLoach. J. K., Campbell, A. L., Clark, W. A., Edwards, W. G., Gibson, B. W., Lemmon, S. L., Lightey, H. M., Williams, W. E., Ramssy, R. H., Greever, W. H., Epstein, A. E., Buchanan, J. C., Horton, T. E., Beasley, W. T. In 1919 the course was six hours a week with three credits for the year, all classes attended at the same hour, thereby caus I ing all instruction to be practi cal. At the beginning of }the year 1920 the course was changed to three hours a week for Freshmen and Sophomores with four credits, and five hours a week for Juniors and Seniors with eight credits. This put the Military Department upon an equal footing with other depart ments. The purpose of the A. 0. T. C. is to provide Reserve Officers for the United States Army. Over 100,000 Reserve Officers areI needed. At present there are' about 60,000, most of whom were officers during the World War. In order to get the list up to 100,000 and keep it there re quires the R. 0. T. C. Units at the various colleges to do it. There is no other way to become a Reserve Officer except thru the R. O.T. C. The future of this particular Unit looks good. For the aca of Library t I A'.; he University's Ancient Library brary Building in United States. demic year 1921-22 approxi mately 200 men will be enrolled, 17 Seniors, 20 Juniors, 60 Sopho mores. and 100 Freshmen. The Unit will be organized into two coumpanies of two platoons each. It is hoped that the uniform will be a distinctive one. The mili tary affairs committee, of which Mr. 11. A. Hagood, of Charleston, is chairman, is now considering the advisability of adopting a new uniform. This uniform will be dark olive green, the blouse to be of the rolled collar and large pocket type, the trous ers to be long and the cap much like the present Army Officer's cap except that it will be made of the same cloth as the blouse. f The government allows 36 for the purchase f this uniform, which is quite sufficient when purchased by contract. An R. O. T. C. baseball team was formed but was soon dis banded as the majority of its players made the Varsity team. The Rifle team, however, which was organized this last February, has done excellent work. It has fired against all the leading colleges in this sec tion of the country and altho de feated at the beginning by the more experienced teams, has as the season ends pulled out a win ner. The last big match, that with Georgia Tech., resulted in a victory, Patrick, Brunson, and Brock shooting high scores. All men on the te am did remark ably well. 1st Lieut. W. H. Greever is manager and captain of th ete am. It is expected that the following men will get their Rifle Team Letter this year: Greever, Brock, Brunson, Patrick, C. A. Taylor, C. P. Der rick, Adams, Brigrnan, A. W. Miller, and Hane. A. E. Epstein* and W. J. Ready substituted in one match. The individual av erage for the to am is 96.9 out of a possible 100. On May 14 the R. 0. T. C. battalion, with the help of two companies from Camp Jackson, will engage in manouevers with troops (2 cGopanies) from Camp Jackson. The R. 0. T. C. will act on the advance on Camp Jackson as the Advance Guard and in the attack will form one of the front line units. Blank cartridges will be freely used so the event should take on the ap pe arance of a real engaement. 3ridges will be constructedT Lcross Hampton Creek over vhich the attacking troops will ave to pass to storm the enemy renches. The last R. O. T. C. event of ! he year will be a competitive Irill, the winning company to 'eceive a small silk flag with the vinning company's designation mdcl the (late of competition in vhich the flag was won. This lag will ordinarily be kept in the iniversity chapel. HORT HISTORY OF THE WAR. "Now cough." "Sign here." "When do we eat?" "Haven't any 8's. Take a oair of 10's."
