Blisters Are Not The Only Result Of Drill
By BOB IIORINE

Whether it sounds like propaganda or not. the purpose
of AFROTC is to select and train college men as future
leaders of men in the Air Force. The drill Held is a lab-

series dealing

"Hut, hjp,
foah. hut hup.
. . ."
Whether you recognize that phrase or not. everyone on
the campus is .r.:re or less familiar with its meaning. It
simply stands fcr "left foot. right foot, left foot," and so
on. That is a variation of standard military cadence.
The vat majority of miles at VK have come directly
in contact with cadence on the ROTC drill field. Some
became familiarized during active duty in the armed
forces.
But just what does all the hut. hupping amount to?
The Department of Air Science and Tactics has very
definite ideas c:i the value of drill. To be able to walic
at 120 steps a minute in itself is no feat, and not a worthy
result for ell the. hours the boys in blue spend in front of
the Administration Building.

oratory.
What the Air Science student learns about the mechanics of drill on the field is secondary. The important
thing is the development of leadership potential.
Ilut granted that leadership is the goal. Just how can
drill aid in the process of becoming a leader?
Well, it runs something like this:
Basically, drill movements improve discipline and serve
as an effective way to get a group of men from one place
to another. But the AFROTC drill field is a progressive
training ground.
When the freshman dons the blue uniform, he is taught
the fundamentals. He learns how to receive and carry
out orders. Further, he learns to do these things promptly
and with increasing precision.
Through his freshman year he listens more than he

.Honor System Views
Constitutionalists ROTC Officials Sav Statistics Show
Want Committee System Working In AF Department
The Constitutionalist Party voted last week to go on record as
opposing the "double standard"
honor system.
The memoers of Clique, policy
forming committee of the party,
passed a motion to stand opposed
to what they called the "police
force" honor system and in favor
of the establishment of a traditions committee.
This committee would be composed of members of religious
groups. Suky, Interfraternity
Council, Panhellenic, and similar
organizations. The functions of
the traditions committee would be
to plan an orientation program
which would help establish and
encourage pep, loyalty, and tradition on the campus.
The Constitutionalists expressed
the feeling that UK did not need
a second judiciary committee and
that honor could not be legislated.
They also doubted the power of
SOA in being allowed to demand
that enrolling students must sign
a pledge not to cheat

Senior Grades
Class grade reports for all May
graduating seniors must be turned In to the registrar's office by
4 p.m. Monday, May 23, according to an announcement from
Registrar Robert Mills.
Commencement .Is scheduled
for Monday," May 30.

An honor, system is now in operation on campus the AFROTC
system. Cynics say the honor system won't work for the Air Science
Department, but ROTC officials say statistics are proving them wrong.
(UK students will vote on an honor plan, proposed by the Student
Government Association, at the spring elections set for May 11.)
Some may not remember the beginning of the system back in 1952.
It is the brain-chil- d
of Capt. Albert J. Stern, who is now stationed at
Chanute Field, and MaJ. Bernard M. Smith,
for training.
The idea began to materialize after a series of conferences with
other officers of the detachment. Even today the system is still in the
process of being altered and widened in scope.
It is similar to the systems used at West Point and Annapolis, but
not quite as complete. There is no encouragement to spy and report
encroachments of fellow students.
To begin with there was the certificate signature plan. That was
instituted in 1952. Cadets taking examinations were asked to sign a
statement on their answer sheets, stating they had neither given nor
received information about the questions.
With the expansion of the program, the day finally came when
instructors passed out the tests and left the cadets alone to take them.
Last semester, a new phase of the honor system was initiated. Class
rolls are posted on a bulletin board. After an appointed cadet takes the
roll and lists the absences on the board, it is left up to the individual
cadet to decide whether his absence was excusable, and to mark the
chart accordingly.
This absence report plan is used through all four years of the program. The un monitored tests are restricted to the Junior and senior
classes.

Why the honor system?
Maj. Smith, pointed out, when asked that question, that the honor
system1 is one of the best methods to develop a sense of responsibility
and desirable traits of character.
Officers have under responsibility large quantities of government
s.
property. One of the basic tenets of leadership is honesty and
An officer's word is his bond. MaJ. Smith said.
"Leaders must have integrity. There is not much leadership potential if a person cheats himself and others," MaJ. Smith said.
He has statistics which show there is no appreciable difference in
grade spreads in monitored and unmonitoied classes. Too, the absence

rate has not climbed noticably since the
plan.

the faculty would, of course, be forced to do
some serious thinking alout the preparation
and presentation of their material. If it were
done, the overall effect would be presentation of course material at a personal level.
The next step wt,nld be to take the fat out
of many fundamental courses, such as freshman English. Instead of instilling an eternal
fear of English courses in students by having
them do inane exercises in grammar, it would
be well to put some adventure into the
course.

Our pessimistic friends might ask how this
could be accomplished. We reply that adventure should be a personal element permeating every course, every lecture, every
detail.

could become a pleasant part of freshman
English courses if the professors and instructors would make some effort to show their

relation to the individual, instead of making
them abstract features to lc mastered for
tests and examinations.
Along this line, it would le impossible to
ignore the fact that far too many courses are
taught for their own sake details for the sake
of details. What courses of this nature lack
is imagination. There is no incentive to learn
a mass of details and facts if the student sees
no way in which he can make personal use
of what he is studying.
Each subject, in other words, should be
taught in a manner to connect the material
being presented with problems that apply
to the individual level. One way of accomplishing this would fx to let the student take
essential data and analyze it to fit some specific phase or problem that might interest
Creative research, sparged by courses underlined with imagination, would do much
to further the purpose of higher education.
In other words, give the student the basic
tools of .information and summation and turn
him loose to find his own "applications and
analyses.
It may come as a shock to many of the
faculty members, but the University could
profit by weeding out the bores, just as it
could profit by kicking out the students who
flunk year after year and continue to come
back for more of the same.
Imagination, inspiration, and "spark"
should be made an integral part of every
course.
