Lj B HA VOLUME XLV VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE, LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA, May 23, 1955 NUMBER 28 Trackmen Sweep Area's Rig Three Meets By 1 orrid Vlargins COLUMN ONE by Jfere Real What is the cause for the anti-academic attitude that exists at V. M.I.? I have had a number of peo-ple stop me and ask me this ques-tion. It is one that only the Corps of Cadets and the faculty can answer. Negative Outlook V.M.I, ranks comparatively high in the listings of American col-leges and universities. Yet it is a rather shocking fact to accept that the greater part of the people at VMI maintain a negative attitude toward the education they are sup-posedly here to receive. During the recent destruction centered about the "Rats" getting out of the Ratline, there was no regard for the academic hours in-volved ip accumulating notes, books, and other items of a scholastic nature. Books were thrown out of windows and torn up, notes that will probably be needed during the forthcoming ex-amination period were destroyed either through the flooding of rooms or the ripping apart of them by the extremely wanton action of an upperclassman, and nothing was done either by the Corps of Cadets or the officials of the In-stitute to stop the destruction. Class Attitudes There exists also a class room at-titude that is worthy of mention in this regard. The conduct in certain section rooms is, needless to say, far below that of any civilian col-lege. The blame for this is also two-fold. It is the fault of the ca-dets as well as the instructor. The cadets are paying, or their parents are paying, a considerable sum of money to attend college. The fact remains that certain groups destroy all semblance of order in the class-room. The cadets are the guilty party in this case. However, the manner in which an instructor meets the situation can have a lot to do with how the section will re-act from that time forward. If a statement of policy is made and adhered to, then a section knows what to expect and will react ac-cordingly as to the discipline of the section. The frequency with which instructors threaten to bone their section, their section march-ers, on students in the section, only contributes to the animosity for the academic. Scholasticism in a mod-ern school cannot be enforced with demerit system, penalty tours, or confinement. Many faculty mem-bers fail to realize the penalties in-volved when they write up certain bones. The two-sided philosophy of some of our instructors is certainly as appalling as the indifference displayed by some of the cadets to-ward the academic. Privileges The withholding of certain pri-vileges that might tend to foster a scholarly interest among the ca-dets is a problem that much has been done to correct; however, there is still a great deal of pro-grees to be made in the line of more time for academic activity, more lenient policies toward per-mits for educational events, and a more liberal attitude toward the academic pursuits outside the regu-lar course of study. Accompanying this negative ap-proach to the subject of learning is an attitude of the average cadet. This cadet has some strange notion that is just isn't right for a person to be interested in academics out-side of the regularly scheduled classes with their respective assign-ments. This is one opinion that is particular to VMI more than any other college this writer has observ-ed. Our True Posltioii This anti-academic spirit that (Continued On Page 8) Southern Conference^ Big Six^ And AAV Meets Are Captured By Fleet Cormack-Coached Men The VMI thinclads finished another very successful season as they captured all three of the track crowns available in this part of the country. Running on William and Mary's rain soak-ed Carey Field, the Keydets came from behind to score 57 points and retain the Southern Conference Championship. Two days later on May 16, the team, running on the same track, won the Big Six track and field title. The season ended last Saturday with the team adding the Virginia AAU crown to its already long string of laurels. In the first meet the Keydets de- Riots Rule Stoops On Turnabout Day "When the cat's away, the mice will play" was certainly borne out last Friday the 13th, when the Rats took over the administration of the Rat Line with approximately 650 victims to choose from.

Vote Taken Colonel Kerlin presented the possi-ble selections, and Tom Massie, president of the Class of '56, con-ducted the voting. The choice was made from the away schedule of: The Citadel, Charleston S. C.; West Virginia University, Bluefield, W.

The Schedule A tentative outline of the trip shows the Corps leaving the In-stitute Friday afternoon, October, 28. Friday night will be spent in Richmond. Saturday the Corps will move on to Williamsburg in time for the pregame march into the stadium. Buses will probably be available after the game for com-ing back to barracks or going to 'Richmond. Men desiring to will be able to stay in Williamsburg. Sun-day the return to Lexington will be made. The Corps Trip has become tra-ditional.

The picture was given by three of Atwill's great-nephews, J. B. At-, will, of Richmond, and W, J. At-will and S. F. Atwill, Jr., of Reeds-viUe. During a brief ceremony at VMI, Benjamin Huger, Sr., of Lexington, made presentation of the picture, while bis son, Benjamin Huger, Jr., also of Lexington, accepted it on be-half of the VMI aluihni. The young-er Huger is the grandson of Gen-eral Scott Shipp, who was comman-dant of VMI cadets and command-ed the corps during the Battle of New Market.

Four o'clock that same afternoon found the members of the club assembled at George Wythe High School in Newport News for re-hearsal. After rehearsal the cadets were taken to the homes of alumni and friends for dinner. Bad weather did not seem to hinder the attendance of the cit-izens of Newport News and sur-rounding areas at the concert. Nor did the rain dampen their spirits. The program sung by the club on this tour was similar to that pre-sented on the Fredericksburg-Lees-burg trip with the addition of a peppy Italian song, "Tutti Veneti," by Gastoldi and ''Of the Father's Love," Begotten the earliest known plainsong hymn. Following the concert the sing-ers returned to the homes of their hosts, some remaining in Newport News and others crossing to Nor-folk and Virginia Beach. The concert in Norfolk on Sat-urday night was probably the best of the season. Particularly fine was the singing of Allegri's "Miserere, Mei Deus."
