I k f € a b c t Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Virginia, March 5. 1965 -Nuia<>erlf COL. JOHN H. GLENN Second Informal Dance Planned As everybody knows, this is by far the worst time of the whole year. To help liven things up and to get everybody looking ahead to vacation and then Spring Hops, the Hop Committee has planned an in-formal dance, to be held on Sat-urday, March 13, one week from tomorrow. Providing the music for the dance will be the "Dynatones" from Whitestone, Va. Although this group is not nationally known, evetryone in barracks who has heard them say they're pretty good. They play for deb parties and beach parties in the Richmond area. This is a rocking group and should be a change for those who say they are tired of listening to Bert Massengale. Of course, the dance will be in-formal, with the uniform being class sweaters. The uniform for girls will be cocktail dresses. The dance will be from 8:30 'til 11:30, and full hop privileges will be in effect. The price will be two dol lars per couple, one dollar stag. The dance was an impromptu idea of the Hop Committee, who had a little extra money in the till. The dance will make or break them for the year as far as finances go. This is the second informal dance the Committee has held this year, the first one being at Homecoming last fall. In all pro-ability it will be the last, since Spring is always a pretty busy time. Bill Ryan, while being inter-viewed about the dance, again mentioned the fact that Spt-ihg Hops, in April, coincide with a dance weekend at W&L and urge everj^body who thinks he might have-a to-get busy and. find a-p«om bMare they're all gone.

Smith Jr. (Continued aa pa;^ 2) One of the most important fea-tures of VMI's summer reading prograims is the series of panel discussions scheduled for presen-tation during the academic year. In this manner, the views of speci-ally qualified members of the fac-ulty concerning the various books on the reading list are made avail-able to oadsts. At the same time, cadets may take advantage of an opportunity to set forth their own opinions on the subject. Last Monday at 7:45 p.m., a specially selected panel met in Room 318 Scott Shipp Hall to dis-cuss two more books from the 1964 summer reading list: "The Western Intellectual Tradition" by J. Bronowski and Bruce Mazlish, and Robert Downs' volume, "Books That Changed the World." As al-ways, the two books to be dis-ousssd on 'the same evening had been chosen and included on the list with that end in mind. "The Western Intellectual Tradition" is the produot of an effort to view the various movements of our in-tellectual development in the con-te. xt of history. The authors pay special attention to the role of Give A Pint And Save A life "Don't hesitate—donate" is one of the slogans for the Am-erican Red Cross Blood Donor's Program, and this is a good slo-gan for the members of the Corps and Faculty at VMI to adopt as any. This Wednesday, the tenth of March, the Red Cross Bloodmo-bile will be making its second and final visit to VMI for the 1964 63 school year. Not only is this the last visit which the Bloodmobile will make to VMI this year, but it is also the last chance that the Corps and Fac-ulty will have to win the Chesa-peake and Potomac silver tro-phy for percentage blood dona-tion at colleges in the Roanoke region fur the third consecutive year, thus allowing us to have permanent possession of this prize. The members of the VMI Bloodmobile Committee strong-ly urge that everyone who is either over 21 years of age, or who is under this age but has a signed permission slip to do-nate from his parents, make a sJiort visit to the Recreation Room in Scott Shipp Hall this WedJuwday. It takes a very short time ,aad it duesa't tuii-t to giv«. "l>ON'T HESITATE—DONATE!" science and technology in that developmenit. "Books That Chang-ed The World" Is an e.xamiinalion of several specific books of far-reaching influence in the growth of our imtsllectual heritage. The two books are complementary, and well suited to simultaneous dis-cussion. The panel, fourth of the six such groups scheduled to meet this year, included representatives from three academic departments, each with special qualifications for discussing the various aspects of the two books under considera-tion. This indicates another of the purposes of the .summer reading proigram: to encourage education across deparmental boundaries. Colonel Tut'wiler, head of the English dsrpartiment, served as moderator. of the panel. In his opening remarks, he introduced the audience to the books and outlined eaoh of them generally. Then each member of the panel in turn offered his own reactions to them. Ther? was a wide range of opinion. Coonel Lancaster, head of the modern languages department, praised "The Western Intellectual Tradition" especially as one of the few books of intellectual history to give technology its due posi-tion of importance. He was parti-oularly impressed with the empha sis placed on .practical men, such as the inventors of eighteenth century England.. Colonel Roth, introduced as the litsrarj' e.\pert on the panel, found cause for ciiitioizing both books foi- their neglect of literature and the arts as legitimate influences in the history of ideas. He regret-ted the implication that the artist's only function in that history is to (Continued on page 4) Corps To Hear Way-Out Talk The first American to orbit the earth. Col. John H.
