A new ROTC Armory was opened after the Thanksgiving holiday. The new quarters are located in the recently renovated, basement of Brittain Hall, in the rear of the building. This marks a definite effort to make maintenance of weapons more convenient for ROTC Cadets. The new accommodations afford greater ease of securing rifles for drill, as well as increased space for cleaning of weapons. By the use of an entrance on the south side of the building and another to the north, pre-drill "checking-out" of rifles will be greatly facilitated. The rifles are protected by newly installed window and door bars, making entry virtually impossible. Regular cleaning days and the hourly schedule have not been.completed, but the armory is open most of the time as finishing touthes are being made. < The opening of the new armory was coordinated with the reorganization of the Corps into a Battalion consisting of three companies (of two platoons each), a Staff and Band. * The "crack" drill platoon, which performed in the homecoming parade representing the Corps, will be a permanent feature, the mothers being assigned to orgin:' units and drawn from these v to compose the honor unit.
