MARCH 31,1989 — THE DECREE — PAGE 3 ROTC has something for everyone By KENNETH WILLIAMS My name is Kenneth Earl Wil liams. I am a Cadet Private First Class. This is my second semes ter in the ROTC Program and it has been a lot of fun in and out side of the classroom. Army ROTC has something to offer everyone. If you think you might be interested stop by the ROTC Office in Braswell room 272, to see exactly what Army ROTC is all about. In ROTC you get the chance to become a leader and experience a lot of the roles the active Army plays. Also you get to use and operate different Army equip ment. The most important thing you leam from this program is self discipline. Army ROTC offers students a promising future. Once you have graduated from college, the Army offers you a commission as a Second Lieutenant, a full or a Views of ROTC part-time job, and a good starting salary. Why don’t you give ROTC a try. There are no obliga tions for joining. This is an excel lent opportunity to step towards being all you can be. Two cadets finish Airborne training By WILLIAM SASSER There are two ROTC Cadets on this campus who set them selves apart from other cadets. Upon meeting each other they begin to make strange sounds, and grasp each other like long lost brothers. What sets these cadets apart? If you look close enough at their uniforms you can see the difference. They have wings upon their chest. These wings symbolize that they have successfully completed US Army Airborne School. These cadets are C/MAJOR John Michael Morgan, and C/2 LIEUTENANT William Eugene Sasser, Jr. (Bill). Airborne school is one of the most mentally and physically demanding schools in the Army. It takes a special kind of person to jump out of a “Per fectly Good” Aircraft flying 130 knots, at 1,500 feet above the ground. These cadets are very proud of their accomplishments. They now belong to an elite club, the US Army Paratroopers.

By CRYSTAL TAYLOR and CHRIS RYDER English, Math, French, Poli tics, and ROTC all have one thing in common. If you do well, you are rewarded. For instance, if you pay attention in class, take good notes, and study, you are paid off with a satisfying grade. The same occurs for ROTC, however there is a little extra. In ROTC if you do your job profes sionally, demonstrate leadership qualities, and show initiative, promotion in grade can be at tained. This semester Craig Ben son has been promoted to De tachment Sergeant holding the rank of Sergeant First Class. . Tasha Ricks and Crystal Taylor have been promoted to Staff Ser geant. Chris Ryder has been pro moted to Sergeant. Anita Massey and Donald Moore have been promoted to Corporal. Stacey Cabe, Renita Dickens, Katherine Harris, Malcom Leathers, Sean Thome, and Kenneth Williams have been promoted to Private First Class. Samuel Albury, Dana Davenport, Tammie Jones, Sharon Jordan, Lisa McBeth, Francine Ray, Thomas Throne, and Tammie Waters have all en tered the program as Privates. Congratulations to all. ROTC an option, not major in itself By JOHN MORGAN ROTC at North Carolina Wesleyan offers the student an option. Those who are in favor of Liberal Arts Institutions realize that their purpose lies in giving the student freedom of choice. The student can choose to experi ence different curriculums before deciding on a major. These are the kind of choices that develop well-rounded graduates for life’s diversified challenges. By no means is ROTC a major, but the entire program is a choice that offers the student a different cur riculum. The mission of ROTC is to develop future leaders, whether it be on the battlefield, at the helm of a major corporation, or in the classroom. Liberal arts courses supplement business (Continued from Page 2) Stacie in the way of a free week end. Once it is past — and per haps passed — they ignore it. Few students attempt to fit an assignment into my semester’s plan, much less into the college’s four-year plan. I console myself with the hope that some years later they will see the whole. A composition student criti cized me the other day for think ing that the ability to write a creditable one-hour essay on an unannounced topic is somehow more important than any other education tool. I explained my composition class methodology and reminded the student of the other grade opportunities in the course. Then I paused and real ized that of course I thought what I did was the most important part of my students’ education. Do other teachers not think that, I asked. Why would I be here if not because I think my students’ lives will be better for having passed through my oh-so-brief time with them? That I chose to teach humanities at a liberal arts college will be my most valuable and valued legacy.
