ARMY ROTC
Army ROTC is alive and
well and on your campus!!
What is Army ROTC? Army
ROTC (Reserve Officers’
Training Corps) is one of the
smartest college courses you
can take. It offers opportuni
ties and challenges that can
put you on the fast track to
success in life. You’ll develop
the confidence, self-esteem,
motivation and leadership
skills you’ll need regardless of
ers. We are presently ranked
No. 5 out of approximately
330 colleges and universities
throughout the United States.
The Nations No. 1 cadet for
1995 was trained and commis
sioned by the Campbell Bat
talion. The program’s success
is also apparent by our high ac
tive duty selection rate (88%)
as compared to the rest of the
United States (69%); FSU had
a 100% selection rate.
The following FSU stu
dents will graduate this year as
Second Lieutenants in the U.S.

Business Administration ma
jor; Cadet Quentin L. Johnson-

Cheer
frompg. 1
1995 CIAA tournament, it’s
safe to say that relations be
tween Ms. Adams and Cheer
Phi were strained. In short,
there was never open or clear
communication between Ms.
Adams and Cheer-Phi. By the
time of the 1995 CIAA tour
nament, communication was
almost nonexistent.
Cheer-Phi had a specific
schedule of events and activi
ties they had to perform in or
der to strongly represent the
university. This schedule was
disrupted when Ms. Adams
went against tradition and de
cided to bring the JV
cheerleading squad to the tour
nament (JV don’t attend
CIAA). Not only did this ac
tion confuse and disrupt
Cheer-Phi’s accomodations, it
was also a slap in the face of
tradition. One of the promises
that Ms. Adams made to the
squad was that the presence of
the JV cheerleaders would not
interfere with the Varsity
Cheerleaders’ agenda. Unfor
tunately, this is just what hap
pened.
The JV squad’s presence
drew Ms. Adams’ attention
away from the activities of the
Varsity cheerleaders. The re
sulting confusion led to the
varsity cheerleading squad
missing an important athletic
banquet due to a hastily sched
uled breakfast session with the
then Interim Chancellor, Dr.
Donna Benson.
Attending the breakfast
forced them to miss a manda
tory cheerleaders’ award ban
quet. With their agenda lying
in tatters, Cheer-Phi protested
against their advisor’s incon
siderate scheduling by not per
forming at a CIAA-sponsored
exhibition at the tournament.
In response to this refusal
to cheer, a blanket suspension
was imposed on the members
of the Varsity cheerleading
