When I attended LSU, ROTC was still mandatory for all <i>male</i> (heh) freshmen & sophomores so the Cadet Corps (AF & Army) was some 5,000 strong and taken very seriously. (All freshmen males had their heads shaved just like basic training) During Freshman Orientation (1962) they would mass both Army & AF cadets (some 2500) in opposing morning formations on the practice parade field (where the Basketball stadium and running track are now, opposite the football stadium--no uniforms yet, just our freshman issue beenies with a strip of blue tape on the bill to signify we AFROTC types.) to sing/yell insults at each other in unison at the top of our lungs.. One of the Army's insult "songs" went: "Up in the Air Jr Birdmen, Up in the Air BoyScouts too, Up in the Air Jr Birdmen.....CRASH!"
