R. O. T. C. HAS SUCCESS
FUL YEAR THIS SESSION
Lecal Unit Shows Very Favor
able Growth
This University has an R. O.
T. C. (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.
