Residents of the block COM

who happens along. The maraud-

and batter their victim with their
wings.

several run-ins with the owls.

Civilian alumni of the Army
would be shocked if they visited
Fort Meade's ROTC camp, where
about 1,4O0 collegians are starting
a six-week hitch in summer camp.
Saturday the processing desks
(the Army still processes it's raw
stock) were awash with confused
young men standing around and
waiting.
The waiting hasn't changed
much. But inside the vast field
house where doctors and dentists
were humping and probing,
things were entirely different.
Dentists weren't merely count
ing teeth, they were examining
them. Physicians were not con-
tent to approve all males who
were hale enough to come in under
their own power. They were re-
jecting some of them.
Army Food Delicious.
And the food! The food was
delicious, and not just a conclu-
sion arrived at by skillet and a
cook who hates his fellow man.
Graduate warriors may find this
testimonial as hard to swallow as
the swill they faced in yesteryear,
but it's true.
Soldiers in the quartermaster
warehouse were not permitted to
fling textile oddments at the new
men. Instead, the ROTC boys
were outf1tted as carefully as if
they already had their commits
|sions.
For most Of the 400 cadets,
Saturday was the first day they
lever spent in an Army camp. They
were as bewildered by the hurry
|up-and-wait as their predecessors
|of the early 1940s.
Georgetown University was rep
resented by a batch of juniors and
seniors, and four of them were
comparing notes. They agreed the
grub was far better than hoped
for, that their khaki looked as If it
were made for them and not men
three sizes larger, and that things
seemed pretty good.
