After CEP members heard students from the HUC and the HRPC present arguments for ending academic credit, Dean Glimp said he would conduct a special weeklong survey of ROTC's status at other colleges and report back...
...offenders had a hole bored through their tongues with a hot iron, second-timers had a "B" branded into their foreheads and anyone foolhardy enough to be caught the third time suffered death without benefit of clergy.
