(Continued on Page 2) An entering class of 358 new cadets arrived here for registers-tion as the Virginia Military In-stitute began its 124th academic year. The new cadets spent a five day orientation period before the start of their classes on Sept. 12. The returning upperclassmen register-ed Sept. 12 and began classes two days later. . The orientation period for the new cadets covered a variety of subjects. The new class members met with faculty advisers and aca-demic department heads. The new cadets also had a gen-eral picnic at Cave Mountain Lake Sunday, Sept. 9. Maj. Gen. Georg^R. E. Shell, VMI superintendent, addressed the new cadets at an assembly in Jack-son Memorial Hall Friday after-noon (Sept. 7). Brig. Gen. Lloyd J. Davidson, dean of the faculty, and Lt. Col. Jeffrey G. Smith, com-mandant of cadets, also spoke to general meetings of the new class. A cadre of some 80 upperclass cadets, who assisted with the ori-entation period, reported back to the Institute on Labor Day for a short indoctrination period of their own before the new cadets arrived. During the five days before clas-ses started, the new cadets also learned about VMI customs and traditions and had meetings with members of the Honor Court and other organizations. The new class represents 30 states in addition to Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia and two foreign countries. Fifty-four new cadets are sons of VMI alumni. Two new cadets. Visarn Chana-ratna and Burl Montrivade, re-ceived Thai Army scholarships to attend a military college in the United States. Visarn and Buri both studied at the same military school in Thailand and finished, one, two respectively in their class. Visarn comes from Singora, Thailand where his father is in the Civil Service. Buri comes frotn Dhonburi in the lowlands of Thai-land. Both of the new Thai cadefcs had English grammar in high, school but have only been speak-ing the language for a little over 4 months. Patrick Chang Lo, another new-cadet from the east, lives in the British Colony of Hong Kong.

Patrick, learned his English while attend-ing one of the many Englisb. schools in Hong- Kong. Two other new cadcts Juliw Volgyi Jr. and Lothar P. de Tem-ple are originally from eastern. Europe and their fathers could very well have fought against each other in the Second World War since Julius' father was a Hun-garian officer and Lothar's father was an officer in the Germaa Army.

Douglas and Sgt. Major Anderson Visited Mdl ROTC School Recently On Wednesday, 19 September the Deupty Corps Commander and Sergeant Major of the XXI Corps visited the Virginia Military In-stitute. Colonel Robert H. Doug-las and Sergeant Major Anderson traveled to Lexington on a leg of their thousand-mile journey to all of the ROTC schools from Indian-ton Gap. Pennsylvania, to Bristol. Tennessee. Colonel Douglas, a West Point graduate, seemed impressed with the V. M. I. system. Though some people think of the Institute as "The West Point of the South," he believed that we might speak of the school on the Hudson as "The V.M.I, of the North." The Deputy Commander, noted however, that a rigid course schedule gives the Military Academy a greater aca-demic discipline than the one foimd at the Institute, where ca-dets may choose their fields of major study. - Colonel Douglas shifted the con-versation to the changes that are taking place in the Army. A self-styled product of the "Old Army," the Deputy Commander believes that rapid progress is being made in molding our forces for future challenges. He pointed to the evo-lution of the old Coast Artillery to anti-aircraft protection to present guided missile interception as one field in which the Army has stayed abreast of the times. But Colonel Douglas still believes that in this age of mechaniaztion, there will be an enduring need for the gra-vel- crunching foot soldier to take and hold ground anywhere in tha world. Sergeant Major Anderson met with the enlisted men and NCO's while Colonel Douglas talked with General Shell and Colonel Smith. The Sergeant Major expressed his admiration of the V.M.I. "Rat Sys-tem." He believes that the V.M.L way of life is unique in its owa right, since cadets accept it with free will, paying their own tuition. He also said that the new rats were well orientated into their new way of life after having been exposed to military discipline for such a short period. Sergeant Major Anderson, « twenty-one year veteran, backed up Colonel Douglas's view of the changing Army. He believes that the average soldier is much better off now than he was twenty years ago. Financial and dependent benefits are better for the soldier of '62, as compared to those of the G. 1. of '42. Sergeant Major An-derson underscored the idea of change in these words: "the mod-ern soldier has to change^ or else he is left behind." The Twenty- First Crops Sergeant Major, like Colonel Douglas, sees the modern U.S. Army fully capable of meet-ing changing demands throughout the world, while maintaining its prime responsibility of guarding national security.
