% Calict • Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Virginia, September 25, 1964 Number 1 VMI Welcomes Matriculants Of 1964 Many 28 Members Added To Staff The 1964-65 session of the Vir- .ginia Military Institute finds the ifoliowing changes and additions to the faculty and staff. Military and Air Science De- Ijartment additions include Lt. Col, M. O. Anderson, USAF, who is the new Professor of Air Science and the Coordinator of ROTC Affairs for the 1964-65 sessions; Major L.

Vaughan as Deputy Comman-dant of Cadets. Major Vaughan was previously at VMI up to 1862. Four former First Classmen are back as Instructors. They are 2d Lts. Grubb, Physics; Duncan, Chem-istry; Taylor, Chemistry; and Jab-lonka, Physics. Lts. Grubb, Duncan and Taylor shall also serve as tac-tical officers. The French Department has pro-filed from the addition of two new instructors, Mr. G. G. Whieldon and Mr. F. H. M. MacKinzie. Visiting Wa.shington and Lee Profe.ssor O. S.
