Cadets in the Air Force ROTC Sabre Drill Team practice their
maneuvers in preparation for the Homecoming Day Parade on
Nov. 4. The team performs “fancy drill routines,” which consist of
drill maneuvers performed while marching in patterns and as a
unit. Parades are nothing new for the group. Team commander
Barry Sandlin, Grand Prairie senior, volunteered their services.
Sabres Schedule Parades
Drill Team Shows Fancy Maneuvers
By KIM PATTON
Daily Reporter
The Sabre Drill Team, made up of Air
Force ROTC cadets, has marched in
parades in Dublin, Henrietta and
Burleson this semester, and has accepted
invitations to march in such towns as
Waxihachic, Richardson and Van
Alystyne.
The team is commanded by Grand
Prairie junior Barry Sandlin. At the end
of the spring semester, Sandlin knew he

would have the job.
“I took over as a sophomore iast year
when the original drill commander was
hurt in a bicycle accident. That was un-
usual since the commander position is
supposed to be for juniors and seniors
only. I guess I was impressive enough to
come back the next year,” Sandlin said.
HE DREW A circle on a Texas map
covering 80 miles and wrote letters to ail
the small towns in that radius saying his
team could march in their parades.
"The reply was tremendous,” Sandlin
said. "I answered as many as 1 thought
we could make and started scheduling.”
The team performs “fancy drill
routines." The members break up into
different marching patterns and come
together again as a marching unit while
doing drill routine maneuvers.
THE DUBLIN parade has been the
most hectic so far on the schedule, detachment
Sandlin said.
“I knew where Dublin was because I
go to a deer lease there. But some guy on
the CB told us a short cut to follow. We
ended up getting totally lost, and by the
time we got out the maps, it was 5
o'clock. We were scheduled to start the
parade at 5:30," Sandlin said.
A policeman directed the group
around to the back of the parade route,
where they got stuck in a traffic jam.
Rebecca Slaughter, director of per-
sonnel for Woolf Brothers retail clothing
stores in Dallas, said that women are ex-
periencing a period of regression in the
business world.
In a recent lecture to Phi Chi Theta
professional business fraternity, Mrs.
Slaughter attributed this regression to
two factors.
“Large companies have been forced to
hire women to fill quotas. These com-
panies placed women in jobs for which
they were not prepared,” Mrs. Slaughter
said. “This is as unfair as promoting
children from one grade to another
when they are not ready.” Because of
these unfair placements, women have
lost some credibility, she said.
Also, because of women’s rights
legislation, women have become less as-
sertive and positive in the business
world, thinking that their positions are
secured by governmental actions, Mrs.
Slaughter said.
“Although women have made great
progress in the business world in recent
years, we still have a long way to go,"
Mrs. Slaughter said. “Women must be
professional. They cannot revert to us-
ing their feminine resources if they want
to progress in the world of business.”
Mrs. Slaughter has been in the
business world for 15 years.
“I started in the days when, because of
my sex, it was part of my job to make the
coffee, regardless of my position.”
Mrs. Slaughter has experienced some
hostility from male subordinates.
“Younger men seem to accept my
authority much better than men my own
age. If a man is aggressive and
authoritative, he is a good manager. If
I’m aggressive and authoritative, I’m a
pushy broad," she said.
Women have historically entered the
business world in cycles, Mrs. Slaughter
told the group.
During World War I, women left the
home and went into business because of
the absence of men. They stayed in the
business world to a small degree until
the Depression hit the country in 1929.
At this time, women went back into the
home so that they would not be taking
jobs from men, Mrs. Slaughter ex-
plained.
Women again entered the world of
business at the outbreak of World War
II, but again gave up their positions
when the war was over and veterans
returned to the job market.
In the 1960s, with the beginning of the
women’s movement, women again
entered the business world.
“Women became more professional.
They began to use their abilities and as-
sert themselves,” Mrs. Slaughter said.
“Women branched out from nursing,
the classroom and retail business and
went into fields that had been
predominately male.”
Pumpkin Vanishes,
Police Pursue Pies
LAKE ODESSA, Mich. (AP)—The
Great Pumpkin of Lake Odessa is miss-
ing, and police are looking for a thief
who might be baking several dozen
pumpkin pies.
Burdette W. Livingston grew the
monster fruit in his garden, harvested it
10 days ago and placed it on his front
porch for Halloween. The pumpkin—84
inches around and 200 pounds—was
stolen Monday.
Livingston said he figured it would
have taken two men to lift it, “and
there's not much to get hold of on a
pumpkin."
“I GOT OUT of the car, ran down the
entire parade route, confiscated a pickup
truck and went back to get the team.
They placed us in the procession in the
middle of the farm machinery exposi-
tion. We marched right along with trac-
tors and combines," Sandlin said.
The team mainly funds itself, but it
does get some support from the ROTC

“WE MADE $102 in a car wash
earlier this year, and we’ve worked
registration in the past. But this year
only three of our people were accepted
to work. That set us back,” Sandlin said.
In a corp as big as the one at NT,
Sandlin said, it is hard to get to know
everyone, especially if you arc a junior
or senior.
“As drill commander, I get the oppor-
tunity to relate to people on a one-to-
one basis. I love it, it's lots of fun. They
are a good bunch of people," Sandlin
said.
