by Mark Owens
Collegian News Editor
Yesterday Behrend's ROTC
program was inspected by a high
ranking United States Army
officer.
Colonel Haspard R. Murphy,
commander of the Area 111 ROTC
Command, was briefed on the
status of Behrend's program and
cadets.
According to Murphy, the
program at Behrend is doing
really well in the quality and
number of students.
"Behrend is producing
outstanding leaders for the Army.
The program here is in good
shape. In fact, I don't come up
here as often as I visit other
universities because I don't have
to check up on the program," said
Murphy.
Murphy is responsible for all
of the high school and college

the 106 programs underneath his
command.
A career officer,'Murphy will
have spent 28 years in the Army
‘his September. Having come up
through the ROTC program
himself, he said there isn't much
difference between cadets of 20
years ago and today.
"Today's cadets have the same
mentality. Leadership, how to get
and parades presenting the colors.
Although the Drill Team is
operated through Behrend Army
ROTC, non-ROTC students
participate in the Drill Team.

participating in the Drill Team
