These students were chosen to make up the personnel of the unit, and the organization will be supplemented by new basic R. O. T. C. students next year. Five advanced R. O. T. C. students have been taken into the organization this year to help in the organization plans, but the unit is primarily for basic students.
The chief functions of the unit are to provide a crack drill organization that will be an example to the rest of the regiment. Other functions include forming an honor guard for distinguished visitors, flag-raising details at basketball and football games, and exhibition drills at military balls.
Besides being trained in the regular drills, the unit will be instructed in specialized drills such as the Silent Manual, Delayed Manual, and the Queen's Manual. Present plans call for a selected group to enter the competitive drill matches to be held at the Regimental Assembly which will take place at Oklahoma A. and M. next year.
