were largely taken up with classroom 

work. The emphasis during 

the latter part was on practical 

work in the field. 

Compass, offensive and defensive 

tactics and problems were applied 

in the field. Problenxs dealing with 

guerialla warfare were heavily 

stressed. 

Physical 

Training 

Physical conditioning was kept 

at a i«gh level during the entire 

training period. Pugil stick fighting, 

obstacles and confidence courses, 

and calisthenics were part of 

the normal day. Foirced marches 

with full equipment, averaging 

five to twelve miles, were made 

aboiit three times a week. Each 

man was required to pass physical

14-B 

Last week the United States Senate by 

way of a filibuster led by Senator Everett 

Dirksen, put an end to the proposed repeal 

of Section 14-B of the Talf-Hartley Law. 

What 14-B actually does is to permit individual 

states to pass laws banning the union 

shop. A total of 19 states have passed such 

laws. Under the union shop system a person 

is required to join the union in order to 

work in a unionized factory or business. The 

filibuster permitted these state laws to remain 

valid. 

The Senators had no middle positions to 

take on the issue. Those who voted for the 

cloture on Oct. 12, 1965 would presumably 

have voted for repeal if they had gotten a 

chance; and those who voted against dolure 

on the same day presumably would have 

voted to retain the section in the law. 

The proposed law will not, however, come 

to a vote at least in this session of Congress. 

This may be viewed as the Johnson Administration's 

first setback in the field of major 

legislation. Whether or not this defeat will 

precipitate others is still left to be seen. 

English Society Starts 

Memorial For Daniels 

The Eriglish Society of the Vir- 

0inca Military Institute has voted 

io egtablish, in conjunction witJi 

Ibe faculty of the VMI EngUsh 

I>epaa-tnient. a memorial book collection 

in the English Department 

liibrary to the memory of the late 

Jortaftiban M^Tick Daniels, a 1981 

distinguished graduate of the Instkute. 

VMI 

Gradate 

Jonathan Myiick Daniels graduaded 

from VMI in 1961 after a 

iietinguished career at the Institute 

as both a situdent and a member 

oif the Corps. He was a winner 

oi Honors in the English cu-- 

rieula. Valedictorian of his class, 

ftod the redipienl of a Danforth 

Foundation Fellowship for graduaite 

studies. Ait the time of his 

death, he was a studeret for the 

priesthood of the Episcopal 

Church, and his untimely death 

caused nationwde reactions. 

Society's Purpose 

K is the purpose of the English 

Bociety, in setting up this Memoonal 

book colleation, to honor the 

This was also the first major piece of legislation 

for the Johnson forc^ which did 

not receive majority support from the populace 

of the United States. 

The medicare bill, the voting rights bill 

and other civil rights legislation, and immigration 

and education bills have all attracted 

more supporters than opponents. 

The Gallup Poll on this issue which was 

conducted just prior to the start of the Senate 

filibuster revealed non-support of the 

bill 

"Do you think a person should or should 

not be required to join a union if he works 

in a unionized factory or business?" 

Should be required to join a union 44% 

Should not be required to join a union 47% 

No opinion 9% 

As of now the evidence seems to imply 

that the majority of the people and their 

representatives are opposed to repeal of 14-B. 

LBJ will have to give careful consideration 

before he decides whether or not to scrap 

the proposal permanently. ' 

If it attempts to pass the repeal again in 

the next Congress in order to fulfill his 1964 

platform policy, he may alienate some of his 

important support in Congress. However, 

should he decide to drop the issue entirely, 

it could cost him a great deal of his Eastern 

industrial following. 

As of now the White House has said noth 

ing on the matter.

which he learned as a cadet at the 

Institute. 

Through this memorial the English 

Society is srtressirrg that, in 

cases such as this, it is not the 

cause for wthich a man died which 

should be remembered. It is the 

fact that this man, a member of 

the growing lisrt of alumni, had 

convictions which he believed in 

strongly enough to support with 

all his abikity . . . and it is this 

true dedicaiaon to a cause which 

deserves to be commemorated.

Many of the great Generals other

met. Of the $60,000 that the General 

James A. Anderson Educational 

Fund presently has, 850,000 

came from individual and corporate 

friends of the General, who 

have no VMI connections. Thus it 

can be seen that not only alumni 

and parents of cadets contribute to 

the Foundation. Not all are gifts 

of a monetary nature.

A recent example of such a gift 

can be seen in the presentation 

of a beautifully embroidered table-cloth 

and twelve matching napkins 

by Dr. and Mrs. K. L. Huang 

of Singapore, parents of Cadet Vic 

to K. Huang '68. The Huangs re-

Past In Review 

From 1850 until after World 

Wair II, the music for the corps 

of cadets was provided by a group 

of professional musicians, commonby 

known as the "nine old men." 

The strength of this organization 

varied from one parade to the 

next. By strength we mean the 

naiimiber of men present at a certain 

parade which could be as few 

as two or three, or as high as 

twenty musicians. The instrumentation 

was never more than six, 

even when this profesional band 

played at full strength. 

Translation 

The transition from this so-called 

professional band to the present- 

day cadet band has been slow. 

The first band was organized in 

1946 under the direction of C. 

Richard Eichon, a member of the 

class of 1947, and at this time, 

Chief Warrant Offiffcer Swiecki 

omen 

was sent to VMI from the 371st 

A. G. F. Band at Font Meade, 

Maryland. 

The Regiimental Band in 1950 

numbered fifty, and the corps began 

to appreciate the band as part 

of the pride of VMI, especially at 

football gaimes, parades, and various 

concerts held throughout the 

year. In the same year, the compfany 

chose to enter Gamett Andrews 

Competition, because the 

band wanted to feel that th» organization 

was as much a part of 

tihe corps as any other company. 

Some Functions 

The present-day Regimental 

Band has the same functions as 

the band in 1950. Since that year, 

the band has won several awards 

in festivals and parades. In 1951 

and 1952, the Regimental Band 

won first place honors in the Ap-

Football — Game of Numbers 

It is an old football adage thai; 

fco wiim one nnusit pay the price. Of 

Course, tte pbnaise is trite and has 

pefen overiwioarfked through bhe 

J'ears, but the tihought conbained 

wijhin it hioilds true today more 

thian ever. Success in any field of 

endeavor, whether it be football, 

business or situdies depends upon 

whestiher one is willing to make 

certaiii sacnifioes and pay 'the 

price. 

When considering our mediocre 

re«x)rd im initercoillegiate fooitJball 

6or the Laist two years, the thoughtful 

observer is inclined to ask 

to search out the cause 

at our foortibal decline and then 

provide some reasonatole program 

that will put us back on the path 

otf fooSball gilory. However, it is 

apparent thait there has been a 

breekdiown in our fooi'ball program, 

tih»t somewhere within this 

prograan we have been unwillin 

ito pay the paice thiat will bring 

soorciboard victories instead of 

moial victoiies. 

When oonfroreted with a losin, 

tewn, the public and ahirani may 

seek to find a scapegoa^t in tihe 

ooBohiog staff, or, more rarely in 

the playing personnel. So let us 

rationally try to examine the situation. 

Is VMI's foatbaill quandiar>the 

fault of the coaching staff. We 

have the sanne head coach who 

lad us to foiur Southern Confenence 

ChamipLonahiips in seven 

years, though our teams have won 

only four gaimes in the last three 

years. But the performance of the 

VMI team this year against vastly 

supenor foes attests to the fact 

that John MoKenna has lost none 

oi his coacihing magic, and that 

he is backed by competent assistants. 

This observaftion is seconded 

by the players who have come 

to resipeat their mentor this year 

more than ever and wiho are the 

first to rise in defense of the 

coaching staff, when that quarter 

receives criticism in barracks. So, 

let us exiMmne the players themselves. 

VMI still gets good playens 

of the calibre of John Turner, 

Tom Slaitea-, Hill Bllet, and Larry 

Wents wiho could play anywhere. 

Bat ai* th«ne ewmgfi of them? 

This is the crucial question 

VIMI football. 

for 

While other conference and 

state schools have expanded their 

football programs, VMI has maintaiined 

the status quo. We still 

glive approxiimiaitely the same number 

of scbolarsihips (11-13) that 

we gave seven years ago, while 

our rivals have doubled and 

tripled the num^ber of avaikuble 

sobolars'hnips. Virginia Tech gave 

52 sohoJarisihiips this year while 

Riichmomd, Virginia, and W&M all 

gave between 25 and 30. In comparison 

VMI's program seems 

puwy. When queried aibout the 

schoCarshiip giaip, Coaoh McKenna 

had this to say: "The number of 

scbclardiips given to VMI is the 

second lowest in the Southern 

Oonference, maybe the lowest, 

Foobhall is a game of numbers. 

To us an analogy from the business 

world, it stanxis to reason 

that if you have 10 men applying 

for a job your chance of getting 

the good mian are better, than 

if you have only three men »p 

plying for the job." 

Thus, k seems th»t VMI's prob 

lem lies not in iihe q«i»'lity of the 

coacitung or tê player person 

nel, but in the quantity of good 

players avaiilable to the program 

We baive stood still and rested on 

our liaurels, wihile our state and 

conference rivals have marched 

past us. We have lost the game of 

mumibers, and have consequently 

found that we are losing football 

games, because we don't have tha 

dapth to comipete with the schools 

tât we face on our schedule. But 

through it all, McKenna remains 

stoical. "The wheel of fortune has 

turned. We used to be lucky in 

that we never seeme

Ex-Professor 

Hired After 

Yale Dispute 

The young philosophy professor 

whose tenure denial triggered 

a heated campus controversy at 

Yale last spring will join the faculty 

of Haverford College next 

summer as a full professor and department 

chairman. The appointment 

of Dr. Richard J. Bernstein, 

associate professor of philosophy 

at Yale, was announced recently by 

Dr. Hugh Borton, Haverford president. 

Publish or Perish 

Dr. Bernstein, center of a storm 

over an alleged "publish or perish" 

policy at the Ivy League university 

last March will assume his 

responsibilities on this campus 

Sept. 1, 1966. The appointment is 

with tenure. Extolled by many of 

Yale's best students and by faculty 

members, as being an extraordinarily 

fine teacher. Dr. Bern 

stein was denied tenure for the 

second time last March. The action 

triggersed 79 hours of student 

pi'ckeitinig. 

Denied 

Tenure 

It was contended by some that 

Bernstein was denied tenure because 

he failed to write and publish 

enough books; his published 

bibliography includes 28 items. 

Bernstein himself called for an 

end to the Yale controversy on 

March 10 with a statement urging 

all involved to "continue (their) 

search for humane knowledge and 

wisdom."
