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.

Sensibility – what is that? What in God’s name is An Afterword? I haven’t the faintest idea. And concerning Book design, I am fully ignorant. What is ‘A Slipcase’ supposed to mean again, and what the heck is Boriswood? The Canons of page construction – I don’t know what that is. I haven’t got a clue. How am I supposed to make sense of Traditional Chinese bookbinding, and what the hell is an Initial? Containers are a mystery to me. And what about A Post box, and what on earth is The Hollow Nickel Case? An Ammunition box – dunno. Couldn’t tell you. I’m not well-versed in Postal systems. And I don’t know what Bulk mail is or what is supposed to be special about A Catcher pouch. I don’t know what people mean by ‘Bags’. What’s the deal with The Arhuaca mochila, and what is the mystery about A Bin bag? Am I supposed to be familiar with A Carpet bag? How should I know? Cradleboard? Come again? Never heard of it. I have no idea. A Changing bag – never heard of it. I’ve never heard of Carriages. A Dogcart – what does that mean? A Ralli car? Doesn’t ring a bell. I have absolutely no idea.
