These programs allow the students to serve part-time in the reserves whilethe governmentfinancestheircollegedegrees. Afterthey graduate, they then serve in the active-duty forces. Thestudents benefit by receiving acollegeeducation at little or no cost to themselves, and the armed forces benefit by gaining college-educated officers. Because of its comparatively small size, Cedarville does not have its own regular ROTC units. Students in the Army ROTC program work with Central State's "Marauders" detachment, while the Air Force students operate with studentsfrom Wright State. Juniors and seniors in the Army program meetwith their counterparts at Central Statethreetimesaweek for exercise, and all ROTC students attend leadership labs about twice a quarter. These labsinclude training activities such asfiring M16 rifles; but they are not always times of rigorous work; some are fun as well. ROTC is notfor everyone. Studentswhooptfor this program commit themselvesto eight years in the armed forces upon receipt of their commissions. In spite of the long hours of training and the promise to at least eight years of service, ROTC givesstudents"an opportunity to see what they are." •David Holmes Student Life
