February 2010 Heritage, Scholarship, Leadership, Camaraderie The official message board of the University of Texas NROTC Alumni Foundation Volume 15, Issue 1 SPECIAL EDITION February 2010 AATTTTEENNTTIIOONN OONN DDEECCKK…… UT NROTC PROGRAM AT RISK! ALL UT ROTC PROGRAMS IN JEOPARDY: ROTC BUILDING TO BE TORN DOWN THIS FALL WITH NO DEFINITIVE PLANS FOR FUTURE ROTC FACILITIES RAS Hall is scheduled for demolition beginning in September of this year, only six months from now. The College of Liberal Arts will erect a new multi-story building on the RAS property to accommodate the needs of that College, excluding the NROTC and other two ROTC programs. As of this moment, there is no definitive plan for a temporary relocation on campus for the NROTC. There have been discussions, negotiations, some promises made and some, as yet, unfulfilled but no definite plans are in place at this time for the near term relocation of the NROTC. Furthermore, no definitive plans are in place for the long term relocation of the NROTC on campus. Your Board of Directors is considerably concerned about this situation and wants to do what it can to insure that the Unit is timely provided adequate facilities to carry out its mission of educating and commissioning Navy and Marine Corps officers for the defense of our country. The Board wants to do what it can to continue the traditions of excellence established over the last seventy years by our Alumni. To assist you in fully understanding the situation, correspondence with President Powers and Provost Leslie is printed in full in this edition. Also printed in full is a History document prepared by the Commanding Officers of the NROTC, the Army ROTC and the Air Force ROTC, outlining the events leading up to the present situation. An Executive Summary of same is also included. Lastly a brief synopsis of the February 8th meeting with Provost Leslie; Dean Diehl, College of Liberal Arts; and the three ROTC Commanders are included. All the ROTCs are equally at risk. If, after reading this material you are moved to do so, you are encouraged to correspond with each or any of the officials, listed on page 14 of this newsletter, to voice your concerns but express your confidence that the University will act promptly and appropriately to address the relocation issues. JOINT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Outlined by ROTC Commanders • Air Force, Army, and Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) operations at the University of Texas at Austin (UT) may be at risk, if current relocation plans are not modified in the near term. o Rapid action, to include near-term funding and a longer-term formal commitment by the UT administration, can create a satisfactory facility for ROTC operations. • Russell A. Steindam Hall (RAS) – the location of UT ROTC since 1958 – is slated for demolition in October 2010 to make room for new College of Liberal Arts (COLA) construction. o RAS was purpose built for ROTC. It meets all ROTC requirements outlined in current support agreements between UT and individual military Services. • COLA, ROTC’s host college, has neither the resources to adequately house ROTC within its domain nor the authority to find a solution within the larger UT complex. Continued on Page 2 1 Volume 15, Issue 1 February 2010 Alumni Foundation Officers Joint Executive Summary continued… Edwin W. “Ed” Mergele (1975) COLA’s current relocation proposal is deemed unsuitable by all three ROTC President o Michael Waldron (1967) commanders due to lack of resources to adequately modify the designated Vice President David Wells (1969) building and the resultant negative impact on ROTC mission. Secretary o ROTC commanders, in coordination with UT’s ROTC committee (a panel of Dan O’Neil (1980) Treasurer four permanent faculty), formalized this assessment in a joint letter to the UT Edwin W. “Ed” Mergele (1975) President in Nov 2009 (See Letter on Page 5) Editor/Publisher James D. Brotherton (1968) o UT Provost is directed to work toward a solution Historian • ROTC commanders met with the Provost on February 8, 2010. (See Letter to Alumni Foundation Provost on page 7 and PNS Report on page 8) Board of Directors James D. Brotherton (1968) • University of Texas System Board of Regent’s final consideration of the W. Robert Brown (1952) financing and construction plan for the new Liberal Arts building is scheduled for John Engstrom (1966) Luis de la Garza (1966) May 2010. James N. Higdon (1967) R. Glenn Looney (1961) Edwin W. “Ed” Mergele (1975) HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Fred Moon (1970) Dan O’Neil (1980) RAS was built in 1958 and was designed to be the permanent home of the Army, Gabriel R. Salazar (1979) Navy, and Air Force ROTC units at UT. The building is named after First Lieutenant Spencer Smith (1973) Russell A. Steindam, a UT graduate killed in action in 1971 while serving in South Michael Waldron (1967) David Wells (1969) Vietnam. First Lieutenant Steindam gained his commission through the UT Army ROTC program and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously Ex-Officio Members CAPT James M. Spence, USN for his heroism. In 1972, UT recognized his service and sacrifice to his country by Professor of Naval Science naming the ROTC building in his honor. Jack Ritter (1955) Navy League Liaison RAS remains essentially in the same configuration since its construction. The three ROTC units have optimized the building's approximately 33,000 square feet to meet Regional Directors Ray Adams (1980) their mission of training young men and women to serve as officers in the nation's DFW (H) 972-596-7188 four armed services. The building houses facilities to accommodate the many Keys Curry (1958) military-unique training requirements essential to cadet and midshipmen training. Houston (H) 713-783-8185 Robert Hancock (1967) Facilities to store government-furnished equipment including uniforms, field gear, West (H) 619-586-0036 and non-functional and facsimile weapons, office space for the uniformed staff K. J. Moore (1964) Eastern (H) 703-759-3327 instructors, administration spaces, and cadet/midshipmen meeting rooms are all Rudy Kruger (1963) contained within RAS. Central (H) 402-331-6557 Henry Harper (1965) RAS was originally built to house ROTC units that were much larger than they are Mountain (H) 208-522-7776 today. For instance, throughout the 1960s, the Naval ROTC unit was comprised of Midshipmans Foundation over 200 midshipmen, roughly twice the size of the current unit. As ROTC unit sizes Directors changed and the overall UT student body increased, nine classrooms were ceded to W. Robert Brown (1952) university general use. Three classrooms remain reserved exclusively for ROTC use. Clay W.G. Fulcher (1955) Robert L. Gartner (1965) The three ROTC units regularly use the general purpose classrooms in RAS for both John Hitchock (1965) academic and military training functions. J. Weldon Koenig (1958) Max Miller (1957) The ROTC Rifle Range (RRN), adjacent to RAS is also scheduled for demolition. Dan O’Neil (1980) This facility has a classroom, storage areas, and a 25-yard, multi-lane shooting range Midshipmans Foundation currently qualified for .22 caliber rifle and pistol target shooting. It is used by all Advisory Directors three ROTC units, the UT Rifle and Pistol Team, and for Junior ROTC shooting Jefferson D. Howell (1961) Donald S. Inbody matches. Spencer Smith (1973) The three UT ROTC units are administratively attached to the College of Liberal Arts Chairman, Gifts Committee (COLA) and each unit is designated a separate department within the college. The W. Robert Brown (1952) Commanding Officer of each ROTC unit is designated a Department Chair within Printing of the UT NROTC COLA and each Chair regularly participates in numerous activities and forums such as university and college graduation ceremonies and Department Chair meetings. Alumni Log generously donated By Raytheon Company Continued on Page 3 McKinney, Texas 2 Volume 15, Issue 1 February 2010 President’s Corner Ed Mergele ’75 This is a serious situation for our NROTC Program on the UT campus. Your Board has appointed a committee of three; Bob Brown ‘52, Luis de la Garza ’66, and Gabe Salazar ’79; to spearhead our efforts to get this situation satisfactorily and timely resolved, but we need your help, too. In early February, I expressed my feelings and concerns, and those of the Board, in a letter to President Powers (see page 10). All of us need to do what we can (e.g. make phone calls, write letters, etc.) to help UT solve this problem and keep our NROTC one of the best NROTC programs in the country. Historical Background continued… COLA provides a modest amount of financial support to the three ROTC units for student activities such as military balls and commissioning ceremonies. COLA is the single largest college at UT and the largest Liberal Arts teaching entity in the nation, with an enrollment of over 14,000 graduate and undergraduate students and 700 professors in twenty departments. COLA students are taught in buildings dispersed throughout the university and unlike the other colleges at UT, there is no single structure that serves as a primary college facility where departments are collectively located. This dispersal of faculty and students throughout the university's large campus has been identified by COLA as the single largest challenge in its ability to encourage collaboration between the faculty and students in the many and varied Liberal Arts disciplines taught. The resulting lack of synergy has been identified as a significant issue for attracting and retaining high caliber faculty. Recent History A series of structural upgrades were completed to RAS in the summer of 2005. These upgrades included the replacement of the 40 year old roof, outfitting of computer rooms for student use, refurbishing of deteriorating electrical wiring, and the upgrading of the classrooms with computer and electronic/video aides that were the standard for the university.
