Army and University trucks worked yesterday moving files and furniture for the department of Military Science and Tactics, as officers and men moved the ROTC headquarters from the old boiler house on campus into the former Zeta Psi house on State St. The first floor will be given over to ROTC rooms, while officers and instructors in the department will have offices on the second and third floors. The same house was used for a unit of the SATC during the first World war.
