VMI Scores Well 

At Summer Camp 

On a bright summer morning 

during this past June, 158 fresh, 

eager VMI cadets reported for duty 

in order to take part in the 1963 

Army ROTC Summer Camp Program 

at Fort Bragig, N. C. In a 

very short time these cadets were 

somewhat less than fresh, and 

unfortunately, some of them somewhat 

less than eager. For the Summer 

Camp calendar was a crowded 

one, and the demand made 

upon a cadet's time was great— 

shades of VMI. 

The total enrollment of this 

camp was about 1260, with cadets 

coming from schools throughout 

Virginia. West Virginia, Kentucky, 

and North Carolina. In fact, cadets 

felt thaft one of the most enjoyable 

parts of Summer Camp 

was this opportunity to meet and 

exchange views with fellow cadets 

having such varied and interesting 

backgrounds. 

Another bright spot in camp 

routine was afforded by the availabilitj' 

of good food, and plenty 

of it—the concensus of opinion 

among VMI cadets being that they 

were fed bettter in the field during 

Summer Camp then they were 

in barracks while at school. 

The close proximity of Myrtle 

Beach, Nag's Head, and other 

North Carolina resort areas pro 

vided within a few hours drive 

still another source of pleasure 

and relief from the otherwise arduous 

daily task of training, training 

.and more training, the Institute 

being consistently well represented 

at all of these places. 

Since VMI had placed first in 

this camp during each of the two 

preceding summers, there was a 

bit of disappointment felt in some 

quarters at even a second place, 

and there is certainly some validity 

in such a position. 

It would seem, however, that 

there are mitigating factors present 

which did not obtain in previous 

years. One of these was the 

presence of Armor and Artillery 

cadets for the first time in a training 

program, which, for all intents 

and purposes, was an Infantry one. 

These cadets were at somewhat of 

a disadvantage, both in respect to 

their Brother Rats who were in 

Infantry and the General Military 

Students who made up most of 

the rest of the camp. 

Proof of this rests in the fact 

that no Armor cadets placed first 

in their company, and only one 

placed first in his platoon out of 

three VMI cadets from other 

branches who were first in their 

companies and the twelve who 

were first in their platoons. Those 

men who placed first in their companies 

were cadets Bell, Kitchen, 

and Mendel, while nine others took 

the number one spot in their i-espective 

platoons. These were cadets 

Black, Durj-ea, Fiorini, Gardner, 

Kormanic, Alitchel, Mc- 

Donald, Welsh, and Whitaker, for 

a total of twelve men ranking first 

in the thirty-two platoons that 

made up the camp. It might also 

be of interest to note that six of 

these men who were otustanding 

at camp are all from the aame 

company here at school. 

Singled out by the Pi-ofessor of 

Military Science for speical praise 

were cadets Putamanonda and 

Chompaisal, the two Thai citizens 

who are members of the the first 

class this year. Col. Head felt 

that these men did an outstanding 

job, finishing well in the top fourth

honoring the late Cdr. John Mercer 

Brooke, distinguished Naval officer 

and long-tinve faculty member

Mrs. Bruce R. Day, granddaughter 

of Commander Brooke, was a 

co-sponsor at the launching July 

17 when the USS Brooke (Deg. 1) 

slid down the ways at Seattle. Mrs. 

Day, a resident of Seattle was accompanied 

by Mrs. Campbell Hooton, 

also a member of the Brooke

Commander Brooke served at the

During his Naval career, Commander 

Brooke helped survey and

faculty, invented a deep sea sounding 

apparatus which helped to

Advisors To

This year as last the History Department 

is arranging for a number 

of graduate schools of law 

and business to come to VMI. The 

program, which is under the direction 

of Major Tyson Wilson, will 

allow cadets of all classes and curricula 

to speak to representatives 

of the various schools in order to 

learn what is offered in their possible 

graduate study branch. 

Major Wilson hopes to bring 

to VMI a wide selection of those 

schools in the Institute's grographical 

area. Included are planned 

return visits of those schools 

which sent representatives during 

the 1962-63 school year. These 

were the business schools of the 

University of Virginia and University 

of Pennsylvania (Wharton), 

and the law schools of the University 

of Virginia, University of 

Richmond, Washington and Lee 

University, William and Mary, and 

George Wasiiinglon University. 

There is also hope that other 

law schools such as West Virginia 

University, American University, 

Georgetown University, Catiholic 

University, Duke, and North Carolina 

might also send representatives 

to speak with cadets. 

In the field of graduate business 

schools an attempt will be 

made to bring American University, 

George Washington, Northwestern, 

and Old Dominion (which 

will start such a course in 1964), 

to VMI in addition to those schools 

mentionetl above. 

The program which provides an 

e.xcellent opportunity for cadets 

planning on further education will 

start on 16 October with a visit by

Brooke Will Talk 

On The Near East 

Colonel George M. Brooke Jr. 

Professor of History, will speak 

this coming Tuesday evening in 

the Preston Library auditorium regarding 

his recent visits to the Far 

East. The VMI International Relations 

Club has asked Colonel 

Brooke to give his impressions of 

the educational systems in that 

area of the world. 

Colonel Brooke has spent the 

past year in Japan, involved in 

historical research under the auspices 

of the Fulbright program. 

The research generally involved 

the history of US-Japanese relations. 

Colonel Brooke centered his 

studies at Keio University in 

Tokyo. 

In 1960, Colonel Brooke and his 

wife were guests of the Japanese 

government for two weeks during 

a celebration in Japan on the 100th 

anniversary of the voyage of the 

"Karrin Maru," the Japanese escort 

vessel which accompanied a 

United States warship on board of 

which was Colonel Brooke's grandfather, 

Lt. John Mercer Brooke, 

USN. Lt. Brooke was shipwrecked 

APPY 

in Japan in 1859 and spent the following 

six months in Yokohama, 

helping prepare the first Japanese 

diplomatic mission for its voyage 

to the United States. 

Colonel Brooke has edited and 

published his grandfather's journals 

relating to the Japanese and 

several articles on US-Japanese relations 

during that period. The 

journals subsequently were translated 

into Japanese and published 

there. One article, contrasting his 

recent experiences in Japan with 

those of his grandfather, was also 

published both here and in Japan. 

Guests at the Colonel's talk will 

include interested members of the 

Corps and faculty, as well as 

guests from various Virginia colleges.

''A Free America^^ 

The United States has formally ratified the 

nuclear test-ban treaty with Russia. Indications 

are quite strong that the recommendation 

will be made by official sources to relax 

our trade barriers with Soviet Russia arid negotiate 

for the sale of United States wheat to 

the USSR, a commodity which Russia, by her 

own admission, desperately needs. 

International intrigue caused by secret 

political platitudes formed into treaties are all 

political platitudes fored into treaties are all 

the Kennedy clan has done with our enemy. 

This phrase must be repeated—OUR ENEMY^ 

It seems that in this age of extreme liberalism 

it has become old-fashioned to believe 

in America and strongly wish to defend her. 

It seems old-fashioned to quote Marx, Lenin, 

Trotsky, and Stalin in circles, utter ominous 

warnings of the Soviet plan of victory. 

The communist line of days gone by has suddenly 

and miraculously disintegrated into 

good-naturedness on the part of our Soviet 

CDimterparts. 

Joseph Stalin, after once being severely 

criticized for one of his decisions, calmly 

answered: "Why should we hurry — we have 

all the time in the world." Beacuse of a hopelessly 

idealistic attitude by the planners of 

our foreign policy, we are keeping the Soviets 

right on schedule. Is it not about time to drop 

this naive attitude and worry just once about 

the future of the United States We are the 

ones who built the Communist government in 

Russia in the pre-war days. Are weVo anxious 

to finish the job by conceding our own homeland

The rape of the American taxpayer that 

was perpetrated by the construction of the 

Tennessee Valley Authority is soon to be relived, 

if present Kennedy administration 

plans are fulfilled. 

The administration's move towards socialism 

is a $1 billion investment by the American 

taxpayer in the Passamaquody Bay section 

of the State of Maine. This money will 

be used to construct a series of dams in joint 

Canadian-U.S. waters which will provide 

cheap electrical power for the New England

people of the South and West should be taxed 

to provide cheap electrical power for the 

people of New England, when this area Is already 

served by privately owned, tax-paying 

electrical power companies. Just to make the 

picture a little bit more absurd (If such is possible), 

the United States would pay the entire 

cost, although the resultant electrical power 

would be available to the Canadians at cost. 

The end result of such a program will be to 

drive the privately-owned power companies 

out of business, as they cannot possibly compete 

with a non-profit making government 

plant. 

America was built by the free enterprise 

system. She is strong now and will remain 

strong in the future because of this system. 

Let's stop America from becoming a socialistic 

nation — keep the government out of private 

business.

OUTLOOK 

On Tuesday the United States 

Senate, by an overwhelming majority, 

ratified the limited test-ban 

treaty with the Soviet Union. The 

meager opposition was about equally 

composed of Southern Democrats 

and conservative Republicans, 

and the outcome of the voting 

was never in any serious 

doubt. The Senate vote probably 

very closely echoed American public 

opinion. This assumption is sustained 

by recent polls, that show 

a marked increase in the proportion 

of Americans favoring the 

treaty. And of course a defeat of 

the treaty would have been a serious 

handicap to American prestige 

among other nations, which sometimes 

seem to dictate the course 

of American foreign policy. 

The opposition, led by the energetic 

primary contender for the 

Republican Presidential nomination, 

Senator Goldwater, had urged 

that the ratification of the 

treaty would be detrimental to 

America's seucurity; that the Soviet 

Union could not be trusted. 

In this the Senate opposition was 

undoubtedly mistaken — the mili-

t«ry brass of the Pentagon (with 

some notable exceptions), as well 

as civilian leaders, notably the 

President and the Ssecretary of 

Defense, support the treaty vigorously. 

Moreover, the youthful President 

announced that this country 

would be ready to assume testing 

Bt any moment the Soviet Union 

should decide to break the treaty. 

Costly testing equipment has already 

been transported to the Pa 

cific testing area, and modern science 

guarantees that any atmospheric 

explosion would "be detected 

immediately. In view of these 

arguments the ratification of the 

test ban treaty seems wholly sensible, 

and the only result of the 

opposition may be the decrease of 

Sen. Goldwater's popularity. 

But what did the treaty really 

accomplish In view of the continuing 

arms race and cold war 

tensionis — nothing. No party is 

compelled to adhere to the provisions 

of the treaty; underground 

testing may continue, and the 

arms race in other fields is still 

carried out. 

However, the test ban treaty 

may be quite important in other 

fields. It has given JFK a trump 

to play up, come election time. It 

has greatly boosted the prestige 

of the United States, and even 

more that of Russia among the 

"nonaligned nations." And—perhaps 

most important—it may be 

only the first step in Soviet-American 

collaboration. The non-aggression 

pact, hardly mentioned at 

the time of the initiation of the 

ratification campaign, may become 

reality very soon. The President 

naively suggested Soviet-American 

teamwork in outer space. The 

foreign policy of the United States 

has become suddenly very conciliatory 

with regard to the Soviet 

Union—as a matter of fact, a paradox 

can be found: France, in spite 

of General DeGaulle's idiosynci'acies 

a staunch partner in the 

Western Alliance is derided more 

than the inconceivably 

Moscow regime. 

trynnical 

But it would be foolish to suggest 

that co-existence is just around 

the corner. The test ban treaty in 

itself is inconsequential, if we 

don't view it as a milestone in

lations, and any opposition to it 

was senseless. However, if it was 

only the first step in the direction 

of disarmament, we must be utterly 

careful. The naivete of American 

foreign policy is sometimes 

perplexing—the Berlin Wall remains, 

Russian troops in Cuba remain, 

Soviet machinations designed 

to undermine the Western alliance 

continue—and the Ameircan 

Secretary of State travels to Bonn 

to persuade the uncomfortably 

stubborn Adenaur to change his 

vlefs. No matter how much this 

might help America's prestige, our 

serurity must be first. Commhnism 

has not changed its policy one 

iota—the chief aim is still to 

"bury us," not necessarily with 

nuclear bombadments, but by slow 

encroachment. 

Let us reiterate—the ratification 

of the test-ban treaty, and the 

treaty itself can be disregarded, 

but any further concessions to the 

Soviets would be foolish at the 

very best. We cannot give a youthful 

member of the Kennedy dynasty 

the opportunity to write a

VMI Popular With 

Summer Travelers 

More than 4,000 visitors registered 

at the Virginia Military Institute 

Museum during the summer 

months. 

The museum logged a total of 1,- 

262 visitors during July, an average 

of about 57 per business day 

Although this was a slight decrease 

from the number in July, 

1962, the past three-month period 

has shown an increase. During 

May, June and July, 5,520 visitors 

have registered at the museum, 

an increase of 1,175 over the corresponding 

months of a year ago. 

The museum has also received 

some added items of interest. 

James B. Johnson of Newport 

News has presented to the museum 

items which belonged to his father, 

Porter Johnson, a member of 

the Cadet Corps at New Market. 

One item is a letter to Cadet 

Johnson, dated March 20, 1865, 

granting him permission to leave! 

VMI to enlist in the Confederate j 

Army. The other is a copy of "The j 

Gospel According to Saint Mat-; 

thew." It was given to him by his 

mother. 

Also, given to the museum recently 

is a letter written and signed 

by Alexander Stephens, who 

served as vice president of the 

Confederacy. It is dated 19 Feb. 

1881 and was written to John W. 

Pratt, in Paris, Ky. The letter was 

given to the Museum by Mrs. D. B. 

Mayo of Lexington, wife of Colonel 

Mayo, a former long time VMI 

professor.

that when one considers the language 

barrier and other problems 

they faced when they arrived in 

this country, he could not help but 

feel that this is merely a small 

part of a very successful cadetship 

for each of them. 

Lt. Col. Head, speaking as PMS, 

expressed satisfaction concerning 

the VMI showing at Fort Bragg 

this year, feeling on a whole that 

the cadetship participated fully in 

the training program, and with 

few exceptions did as well as anticipated. 

Of course, it is his opinion 

that a top-notch military 

school like VMI should never fail 

to obtain first place in programs 

such as 'this. This is certainly a 

point worthy of consideration, especially 

on the part of the present 

second class, who will be representing 

the Institute during the 

1964 summer camp session. Perhaps 

they will be the ones who 

put VMI back in the top position, 

where it is certain she belongs.

Jerry Reid, Second Battalion S-3

than in preceding years, and the 

teams have been practicing feverishly 

for the opening round. 

Tennis and swimming are to be 

added, or at least revived this 

year. A cross country meet is scheduled 

for October (Charlie Co., defending). 

Then comes basketball, 

and perhaps, if time permits, volleyball, 

handball and indoor track. 

Softball rounds out the intramural 

program in the Spring. 

As you can see the Intramural

weeks of practice behind them, 

many of these troubles should work 

themselves out. Nearly all of them 

carry an extremely high academic 

averagie so this pack should not 

present any problems. 

VMI's cross country teams have 

always been relatively small, but 

the runners have always been outstanding 

as the records show and 

this year should be no exception. 

Much of VMI's fame has been established 

on tracks and cross country 

courses, and the determination 

to carry its name even further
