General Milton To Be Inaugurated As Eighth Superintendent May 2 Religious Clubs Air Force Officer Explains Duties^ Of Observer Corps In a recent talk given to the prospective members of the local unit of the Ground Observer Corps, a representative of the Air Force attached to the Ground Observers Filter Center at Roanoke pointed out that "In this period of world confusion and disorder, the United States Air Force, in cooperation with Civil Defense, is attempting to organize a corps of Ground Ob-servers made up of the civilian population in the various towns and cities throughout the country." He went on to explain that the GOC has been set up on a compara-tively simple basis consisting of observation posts and filter cent-ers. The country, he said, has been divided into various districts and these districts have each been sub-divided into square blocks whose sides are eight miles long. Filter Center Responsibility The object of the corps is to establish at least one observation post in each of these block areas. The second phase of the Ground Observers Organization involves the filter centers set up in each dis-trict. Each district filter center has the responsibility of receiving and plotting on a map of its district all of the reported observations of aircraft as relayed to it by the vari-ous observation posts. Once a plane has been spotted and is being traced by the filter center; the next objective is posi-tive identification. In the event that a plane does not identify it-self or identification is not ob-tainable, the filter center relays the data it has concerning the plane, i.e., its type, course, alti-tude, etc., to the Air Division, which decides on the action to be (Continued on page 8) Canterbury Cadets Attend Conference At Ya. Seminary Four members of the V.M.I. Canterbury Club, Macon Walton, Tom Williamson, Buck Langhorne, and Don Macleay, attended this year's Annual College Conference on the Ministry held at the Vir-ginia Theological Seminary, Alex-andria, Virginia. The purpose of the conference was to present to interested college students the claims of a Christian vocation, with speqial emphasis on the Christian ministry. The conference was designed pri-marily for those who had con-sidered Christian vocations, but who were as yet uncertain, rather than for those who had already de-cided to entef the ministry. Oppor-tunity was provided for delegates to talk with both seminarians and faculty members in informal ses-sions. The informal sessions fol-lowed the various addresses that were delivered to the conferees, such things as "What Is A Call to The Ministry" and "How Does One Enter The Seminary" were dis-cussed. The delegates were en-couraged to ask questions and to express their ideas concerning the ministry. All delegates were guests of Lutherans Hear Rev. Sanders On Church Services The VMI Lutheran Club held its weekly meeting Tuesday, March 10. the Mount Olive and Mount Pleasant Lutheran Churches gave his second of a series of three ad-dresses on the "Oi'ders of the Lutheran Church." Reverend S a n d e r s has been' sepaking to the local club for the past two meetings on the different services of the church. He will con-clude this series at the next meet-ing. Also at this meeting, the club layed plans for inviting the Madi-son College Lutheran Club to visit here April 19. This to help create a closer tie between the different religious clubs of the various schools in this vicinity. The club also discussed varioua activities which will take place after the Easter furlough. Secretary of Army To Speak^ Retreat Parade Review Ordered for Day Inauguration ceremonies for Major General William H. Milton, Jr., as superintendent of Virginia Military Institute, will be held here May 2. Announcement of the installa-the Seminary and were accomo-dated very hospitably. Teas were held for the, delegates by the faculty and by the married stu-dents. There prevailed an absolute air of friendliness and helpfulness all through the conference. Rev. Malmborg Leads Successful Program; Cadets Pleased With Religious Emphasis The Religious Emhpasis services of the thirty-first annual Religious Emphasis Week were held at VMI last week. They began Tuesday at twelve noon with a General As-sembly of the Corps and faculty, and were concluded on Thursday night with a vesper service at taps. The Rev. Harold A. Malmborg, visiting minister from the Myers Park Baptist Church of Charlotte, N. C., led the cadets of the Corps in the eleven services of the three-, day event. A large number of cadets participated in the program. Corps Attends Service In his first service at noon on Tuesday Rev. Malmborg spoke on the subject "This I Believe." His general theme for the three days was "IJelief," and some part of his belief was developed in each of the following worship services. Following the General Assembly the schedule included a worship service each evening at 7:30 in Jackson Memorial Hall. Discussion periods followed at 8:15 and lasted until around nine o'clock. At each evening service a cadet presided, and there was a representative of the faculty on the platform with the cadet and Mr. Malmborg. Cadets Preside On Tuesday night John Diuguid presided; on Wednesday, Randy Phillips; and on Thursday, A1 Mus-selman. Faculty members assiting in the worship services were Col. Mann, Col. Hefiin, and Captain Crim. In'the Tuesday night service Mr. Malmborg spoke on "Reasons for Faith." His subject on Wednesday was "I Believe in the Resources of Faith," and on Thursday his message was "I Believe in Christ and the Christian Ethic." Seminar Held On Wednesday afternoon a semi-nar was held in the large lecture room of Mallory Hall. The subject was "Christian Interpretation of Marriage." A large number of cadets attended, and a group of stu-dents from Southern Seminary were present. This discussion, which lasted almost two hours, was developed under the assumption that a young couple had come in for pre-marital counselling. Rev. erend Malmborg explained the four areas in which a couple must find compatibility if a marriage is to be a success. At taps each evening a vesper service was conducted over the PA system in barracks. This consisted of a scripture reading and a prayer just as the cadets were going to bed. There was a blessing in the mess hall at each supper forma-tion. Meets With Cadets Cadets have stated that one of the most beneficial parts of the program this year was derived from the personal conferences with Rev. Malmborg. While he was here, Mr. Malmborg met with some 20 cadets for periods ranging from a half hour to an hour, and this made a full schedule. Reverend Malmborg became very familiar with VMI while he was here. He met most of the ad-ministrative officers and many members of the faculty. He visited five classes and many of the cadets' rooms. He ate all meals in the Mess Hall. Dunlap Escorts Speaker One cadet was with him most of the time he was here in order to take him to places he wanted to go and introduce him to in-structors. The escorting cadet also took him to a table in the Mess Hall and to the Guard Room at taps in order to conduct the vesper service. Rev. - Malmborg roomed in the Board of Visitors' Quarters. Each night a special table was prepared in the Mess Hall, and four cadets and three members of the faculty dined with Mr. Malm-borg. During the three days Gen-eral Anderson, Colonel Pancake, Colonel Barksdale, Colonel Mann, and Major Dobyns were present. Reverend R. V. Sanders, of tion date for VMIs eighth superin-and Mount tendent was made by John C. Hagan, Jr., president of the In-stitute's Board of Visitors. . Formerly With GE General Milton, former execu-tive and nuclear power manager with the General Electric Com-pany, took office as superinten-dent last August 1, succeeding General Richard J. Marshall who retired last Spring. The inauguration ceremony, which will be held in William H. Cocke, '94, Hall, will get under way at 11:15 a.m. Saturday, May 2, after the inaugural procession of the delegates from other col-leges and universities and societies and other official representatives from Preston Library. The Secre-tary of the Army will speak at the ceremony. The ceremony will be followed by a regimental review by the corps of cadets. Rec«ption To Be Held On the preceding day. May 1, the Board of Visitors will hold a reception in honor of General and Mrs. Milton in the superinten-dent's quarters, beginning at 9 p.m. General Milton, 53, took the VMI superintendency following 32 years with the General Electric Company. A graduate of the Insti-tute ifi 1920, he went with GE after finishing VMI and served in a variety of capacities which led to high executive positions with the company. War Record During his service with General Electric he was manager of GE's plastics division, assistant man-ager of the company's chemical department and a member of the executive committee of GE's ap-pliance and merchandise depart-ment. In 1946 and early 1947 he was administrator of the Hanford Atomic Energy Plant at Richland, Wash, when General Electric operated the facility for the Fed-eral government. He was elected a commercial vice-president of GE in April, 1947, and was in charge of customer relations in Washington, D. C., until June, 1950, when he resigned to become general manager of GE's Knolls Atomic Power Labora-tory at Schenectady, N. Y., which is engaged in the development of an atomic power plant for sub-marines. He came to VMI from Schenec-tady following his selection as superintendent by the Institute's Board of Visitors last May. Visitors to the Institute during the inauguration period may find some difficulty in obtaining ac-comodations and hence it is plan-ned that members of the faculty may open up their homes for the many alumni and friends of the General who are expected to at-tend. Each member of the faculty will have some part in the R'an-ning or carrying out of the cere-mony and all will be present for the inauguration itself in order to take part in the proceedings. General Milton was unable to ac-cept the invitation extended to him by the Religious Council. Committee Formed The religious pro^am this year was made possible through the joint efforts of the Institute, the ministers of Lexington, and the Religious Council! The actual ar-rangements were made by cadets through eight different commit-tees. Don Dunlap of the Second Class served as General Chairman for the event, having been appointed! by the officers of the cadet Re-ligious Council. Credit for the initial planning and execution of the period of religious emphasis must go to him. Don is a Supply Sergeant in Charley Company and a member of the Honor Court as well as a writer for the Cadet. The Bulletin Committee was un-der the chairmanship of Bob Hen-son and Bill Whitfield. John Lund headed the Music Committee and made the arrangements for the Glee Club to sing "Salvation Be-longth to Our God" at the general assembly and prepared the re-mainder of the music for the pro-gram. Ted Mariani and A1 Musselman were co-chairmen of the Invita-tions Committee. This committee sent letters of invitation to all the faculty and contacted most of them personally. Also invited to attend the services were the faculty and students of Southern Seminary and Washington and Lee, and the min-isters and congregations of Lex-ington. Fred Mather-Smith and John Le Deaux headed the Poster Commit-tee. John Diuguid was chairman of the Publicity Committee. Norman Harris was chairman of the Pro-gram Committee, and he was as-sisted by Jim Robertson, Roby Thompson, and Bill McGruder. The Escort Committee was composed of the presidents of the denomina-tional organizations on the post. Reverend Malmborg is a native of St. Cloud, Minnesota. He attend-ed St. Olaf College in Minneapolis for one and a half years and the College of Business at the Univer-sity of California in Los Angeles for two and half years. Between these two periods he was in the Air Force for three years and served duty in the Philippines and Korea. After leaving Los Angeles he entered the Andover Newton The- (Continued on Page 8)
