Anything
Goes at DZ
Step Sing
• By Karen Graham
! Reporter
; "Anything Goes" and every-
; one is welcome to the seventh
; annual Delta Zeta Step Sing.
Step Sing will begin at 7
p.m. tomorrow in the Clyde H.
Wells Fine Arts Center. The
cost is $2 per person; tickets
may be purchased from any Delta
Zeta. There will also be a ticket
booth in the Student Center
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., today
and tomorrow. Tickets will also
be sold at the door.
The theme of this year's
Step Sing is "Anything Goes."
The opening act will be by the
DZ's.
This year's Step Sing is
unique in that the acts no longer
have to relate to a central theme
as in years past. Last year, the
competition focused on a tribute
to Broadway and was won by the
Kappa Alpha's with their salute
to Sidney Bernstein.
Some of the acts highlight-
ing this year's show will be per-
formed by Lambda Chi Alpha,
the Rodeo Association, Rodeo
. Riders, Alpha Pi Alpha, Delta
Chi, Pi Epsilon Phi, the Betas,
the Tarleton Players, Student
Government and Kappa Delta
Rho.
*< All of the proceeds from
the show go to the speech and
hearing jntpaired. Some
'contributions will go to (.fie
Gallavdet University which
serves the deaf people through
the appropriately designed
educational opprotunities.
The other donation will
benefit the House Ear Institute.
This institute is a non-profit,
tax-exempt organization
supported entirely by private
funds.

ROTC fires through history
When the ROTC cadets of Tar-
leton State University's Texan Bat-
talion stepped up to the firing line
recently, many had never fired a rifle
or pistol. One hour later, they had
experienced the kick of a .44 caliber
Colt Army revolver from the Civil
War, an M14 rifle from the late 1950s,
a Chinese AK assault rifle and the
new 9 m.m. Beretta semi-automatic
pistol.
The entire Texan Battalion had
the unique opportunity of firing
several live rounds from almost every
primaty small arm of the U.S. Army
Dver the past 125 years. Coordinated
by TSU Professor of Military Sci-
ence Major William Brown and held
at the ranch of freshman Cadet Ken
Leatherwood, the historical live-fire
provided cadets with first-hand
knowledge and experience of the
operating characteristics of basic
infantry arms.
Before being allowed to fire at
the range, each cadet received an
historical and operational descrip-
tion, as well as a safety briefing, on
each arm to be fired. The list in
eluded a .44 caliber Army Colt,
Model 1860; U.S. Army Colt re
volver, Model 1873; M14 Rifle,
Model 1957; M16-A1 automatic
rifle, Model 1964; the Beretta 9
m.m., Model 1985; Chiness AK-47
assualt rifle; the .22 caliber high
standard pistol; a Heckler and Koch
semi-automatic rifle from Germany;
a Belgian FN-FAL rifle; an M-2J
