Military Science, letter campaign

This image shows two women cadets sitting at a table soliciting signatures on a petition for a letter campaign for the Department of Military Science at Appalachian State University (1967-current) in the 1970s. A student can be seen leaning over the table signing the petition. The sign reads, "Your signature may help return American soldiers, national letter campaign to free prisoners." The Department began in the fall of 1969 and houses the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC). It is located in the College of Fine and Applied Arts and offers two-year programs in leadership and military training with no obligation of future military service, and an additional two-year program that results in a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve or the Army National Guard.
