between the R.0.T.C. and the Physical Education Department. Colonel
Dusenbury and I worked out a plan whereby students in R.0.7.C. would
drill two times a week and then take physical conditioning onse.a =.
week to satisfy the University requirement for er exercise three
times a week.

of each hour is devoted to the disciplinary command and drill practice.
