Spidermen
ROTC students take
By Kym Kevesdy ^7"TT"
The atmosphere was calm as each
cadet awaited his or her turn to rappel
off a 60-foot tower during the Army
ROTC exercise Thursday at thfe fire feaHMjte
station on Senate and Park streets.
Instructions were shouted out by
senior ROTC members, who aided the i iMMk
participants and demonstrated the correct
procedures of the exersise.
"I was very nervous because I'm
afraid of heights, but once I was climbing
down I was fine," junior ROTC
member Rosemary Michels said.
The purpose of the exercise is to ^ <H
build self-confidence, overcome the
fear of heights and teach basic techniques
in military rescue operations, according
to operation Sgt. Mark Hood.
Junior ROTC members were re- |
quired to participate in the exercise,
onH minv frpctiman qnH cnnhnmnrp ..
members joined in.
Rappelling consists of climbing
down walls by means of a rope, under \
one thigh and across the body over the
opposite shoulder, looking like
'spider-man' to the spectators, and <**; 'V ^
falling into a trampoline-like net.
Three spotters assisted rappelers as
they made their approach to the net.
No one fell. . %p
"I wasn't nervous because my father Jjg J
is a mountain climber, and I'm ac- %
customed to this," said Kathy Gaskin,
a junior ROTC member.
The rappelling exercise, held twice
yearly, has been in existence at USC
for three years and was initiated by a *
former operations sergeant.
Hood said a proposal to build a rappelling
tower behind the Blatt Physical *
Education Center has been initiated,
but no plans formally have been
accepted.
