The intangible processes of reason 

and logic are the chief weaipons 

utilized by the United States 

Supreme Court. Thomas C. Clark,

that these two qualities are the 

only ones the court possesses to 

iback up its statements.

death. 

The effects of radiation on the

According to Dr. Comas, death 

of an organism is initiated by the 

death of the bone marrow.

EDITORIAL 

Child's 

Play 

A sign of the times is the increasing clamor 

heard from many sides for more rights 

— and an often deathly silence when we listen 

for a whisper about responsibility. 

A good example of this attitude would 

seem to be found in the American Negro. 

There seems to be quite a bit of noise 

generated by the Negroes concerning their 

rights, more than from any other group. Perhaps 

they have a lot to be noisy about, but our 

point is, if they would spend the time that 

they spend worrying about their rights in 

doing something about their responsibilities, 

they would be as well off. 

Another similarly deprived minority 

group, perhaps, is the Corps of Cadets. Civil 

rights is often as big an issue inside barracks 

as it is in the world. ("They can't do that to 

me!"). 

The analogy is not a good one, really, 

but it helps prove a point. We spend a good 

percentage of our time talking about what 

we have to do, or what we cannot do, or what 

we wish we could do. This is a favorite barracks 

pastime. What we don't ..talk about 

much is^what we should do that we do not, 

or what we do and mess up. 

The point is. the amount of rights a person 

has usually varies proportionally with the 

amount of responsibility he shows, or at least 

it should ideally, and there certainly seems to 

be some correlation. (To be realistic, now, we 

have to keep in mind the framework we are 

Spong Opposes Repeal 

Of Right-To-Work-Law 

In July a major shake-up occurred 

in the Virginia Democratic 

party. One of the pillars of the 

party, Senator A. Willis Robertson, 

was uprooted. The man who accompilshed 

this, Willian B. Spong, is 

an energetic young man who considers 

himself a "realist' 'in the 

world of politics. He believes that 

the people who left school to fight 

in WWII have finally emerged from 

their dormant sitage and are ready 

to take their places as leaders of 

our state and country. 

Interest In Education 

Spong was born in Portsmouth, 

Virginia and was educated at Hampden-Sidney 

College, the University 

of Virginia Law School and Edinburgh 

University in Scotland. He 

has served a toftal of twelve years 

in the Virginia legislature and is 

an attorney and president-elect of 

the Virginia State Bar Association. 

Spong has stressed his great interest 

in Virginia's educational system 

and was chairman of the 

Virginia Commission on Public 

Education. This commission undertook 

an extensive study of the 

state's public schools and, because 

James F. Hopkins matriculated 

at the Institute in the fall of 1865. 

Since he learned subservience and 

Jiumility in higti sehol, Hopkins 

conformed to the military discipline 

and hazing without difficulty, 

in. We can not equate,VMI with Berkley.) 

So it would seem that in order to achieve 

satisfaction in our desire for certain rights, 

we must act in such a way that we show we 

deserve them — in a word, responsibly. To 

put it another way, in order to receive, you 

have to give. 

This is something that cadets should 

keep in mind, as they carry on their everyday 

pursuits. 

But it comes to mind that a lot of cadets 

do think about this, so much soi that one of 

the characteristics that we attribute to the 

"VMI man" is his sense of responsibility. Cadets 

are different in, the way they go about 

things, granted, but there is more responsibility 

to be found in them, at least dormantly, 

than there is in the run-of-the-mill college 

student. If there is not, VMI should take her 

National Landmark plaque and become a 

museum. 

But how can a person show responsibility 

when he really does not have much. 

How does it make a senior in college feel to 

be told that he has to stop studying at eleven 

o'clock, and go to bed? How does it make him 

feel to be told that he can not ride in a car to 

Charlottesville to see a football game, and in 

the process see the word "radius" redefined 

so that he can never ride there except on a 

weekend or on a special permit? These are 

not so much specifics as they are an indication 

of a general atmosphere. 

of his imporatrtt role on this comnussion, 

he is somewhat of an authority. 

on the subject. His commission 

made several proposals to 

improve the school system, and he 

intends to continue working for 

higher educational standards. 

Support of Right to Work 

One of the main issues in this 

campaign has been Virginia's right 

to work law. He has pledged to 

support the fight against repeal 

of this section of the Taft-Hartley 

Act and has refuted all claims by 

his opposition that he would not 

So here we have two sides to the responsibility 

question. What should be done? It's 

something the two sides should talk about if 

they really care about it. 

What we see is cadets acting like children, 

at times, and being treated like children, 

at times. The two do not always overlap, so 

both sides are at fault. 

do so. 

i^ni 

. He feels very strongly about 

states rights and believes that 

Virginia should participate active 

ly in national affairs in order to 

protect her rights. 

Bill Spong has stepped forward 

and now the burden of carrying 

the Democratic party banner rests 

on his shoulders. The November 

8th elections will determine whether 

or not this representative of 

the younger generation is really 

ready to take his place among the 

leaders of this country.

ISew GOP Club 

To Be Formed 

A new club, which promises to be 

one of the most active extracurricular 

organizations at VMI, has 

been formed this year—^the Young 

Republican's Club. Although the 

first official meeting has not yet 

been held, thirty members-to-be 

have saturated barracks with campaign 

literature for the Republican 

candidates Bill Ould and Larry 

Traylor in conjunction with the 

straw ballot being conducted by 

the Political Science Society. 

Besides participating an campaining 

for Republican candidates, 

the club will take part in Young 

Republican activities throughout 

the state including a Policy Symposium 

in Washington, D. C., the 

state convention in Harrisonburg, a 

seminar with Sweet Briar, Mary 

Baldwin, Holins and Washington 

and Lee at Natural Bridge, and a 

ski-weekend this February. 

The VMI Young Republicans will 

start their official membership 

drive this Wednesday, November 

9th with a film, "The Myth of 

the Great Soicety" starring Ronald 

Reagan. The film will be shown in 

Lejeune Hall at 8:30 p.m., the admission 

is free and all cadets are 

invited to attend. Refreshments 

will be served, and students from 

Sweet Briar, Radford, Southern 

Seminary, Mary Baldwin and Washington 

and Lee have been invited. 

Two of the founding officers. 

Brad Worthington and Tom Blair, 

attended the Executive Board 

Meeting of the College Young Republicans 

in Richmond last Sunday. 

They were given encouragement 

by the CYRF president, Roger 

Wallace, and blanket invitations 

to YR functions at Randolph 

Macon Woman's College and Southern 

Seminary. "' The Executive 

Board also set a quota of 180 members 

for the n«w club so the founders 

have urged all those men interested 

in joining to notify them 

as soon as possible before the December 

15th deadline.

Club Making 

Money 

The Pioneer Inves'tment Club, 

operating under the guidance of 

Col. A. H. Morrison, Professor of 

Economics was initiated early in 

the fa'H of 1962. Its first president 

and founder was Gil Minor, a member 

of the Class of 1963, who has 

since attended and graduated 

from the University of Virginia 

with an M.B.A. 

At this time a specific charter 

was drafted laying down guidelines 

along which the club would 

operate. The first club consisted 

of 10 memibers, mostly first clasfsmen, 

but since then, it has grown 

to a carefully selected 25 memibers 

spread over the four classes. The 

club, in order to maintain flexibility 

has been forced to restrict 

membership to 25. 

The functions of this organization 

are tihree-foW. The first, as 

Col. Morrison put it, is naturally 

to make money. This is not a primary 

consideration at present but 

will be of concern to the individual 

memibers in the future. 

During the first two years of existence, 

the Club recorded losses. 

However, more recently the Club 

has sihown phenomenal gains 

amountinig to about $100.00 per 

iperson, i>er year. It is inter^ting 

to note that most of the losses 

have been due to brokerage fees 

encountered during heavy buying 

and selling.

ferences" that come before it. The 

court then has the final word on 

cases involving the constitutionality 

of a law or a disagreement between 

states. 

Justice Olark traced the development 

of the court since its birth 

in the Judiciary Act of 1779. He 

added that two items decided upon 

at the first meeting of the court 

still stand. There are the oaths 

reqxiired of all attorneys upon admission 

to the court and the Seal 

of the United States Supreme 

Court. These were the primary 

achievements of the initial meeting 

in January of 1790. 

MarshaH—A "Great Chief" 

In discussing the pa.st Chief 

Justices, Justice Clark devoted 

much time to the accomplishments 

of John Marsihall, whom he referred 

to as a "great ohief." His 

most important deed while at the 

helm of the Court was the enactment 

of the policy of judicial review 

which enabled the Supreme 

Court to decide upon the constitutionality 

of a law passed by 

Congress. 

Rights of Criminals 

In turning to more recent matters, 

the Court decision on the 

rights of criminals was reviewed. 

Justice Clark stressed that he was 

very much in favor of upholding 

the rights of the inviduals involved 

in criminal proceedings, but 

was against throwing out the confession 

of the accused merely on 

technical grounds. 

He added, however, that each 

situation must be reviewed in regard 

to its own merits. Justice 

Clark stated further that the number 

of confessions has not appeared 

to have decreased appreciably 

in quantity, but rather to have 

increased. 

Lawyers and the general public 

alike ought to be concerned, Clark

Past In Review 


he saw cadets hooded and robed 

in white with only the black of 

their boots showing below the 

robes. The secret society immediately 

threw Hopkins out of the 

room, and he went directly to the 

guard room to write his incoherent 

report of the hapeniings emphasizing 

that apparition of "black 

feet" as he so aptly identified the 

secret society. 

The "Black Feet" as the society 

became known at the Institute was 

not Sigma Nu. The founder of Sigma 

Nu was the same cadet that was 

on guard the night of Finals in 

1866" that the society of "Black 

Feet" was reported. Hopkins, both 

unbiased and dedicated to his beliefs, 

opposed the "Black Feet" on 

the basis of principle and not prejudice 

against the perverted practices 

of hazing. Hopkins along with 

two other cadets in the fall of 

1868 swore on a Bible by a large 

limestone rock in the valley the 

vows that bound them together as 

Brothers of ihe Legion of Honor." 

The brotherhood organized by 

(Hopkins later became known as the 

White Feet" in opposition to the 

practices of the "Black Feet." 

The details on the founding of 

the "White Feet" (Sigma Nu) including 

the role of Hopkins and his 

two associates will be presented 

in the ensuing issues of this column. 

Incidentally, the "Black 

Feet," the first unofficial secret society 

at the Institute, later became 

the mother society of the Alpha 

Tau Omega Fraternity.
