OU ROTC

I was a freshman at OU in 1963. I recall watching the ROTC drills. I was a theatre major at OU. Most of the boys in the drama school had long hair—the excuse was that they were in a play and could not cut their hair, and there was a certain amount of truth to that. The "D" boys had to do drills as a separate group… strange to think about that now. I am glad that the ROTC requirement went away.
