MAJ DOOLEY 3 COPIES OFFICE 315 SMITH HALL VOLUME LXV Virginia Military institute, Lexington, Virginia October IS, 1974 00013 NUMBER 6 Films Slated Wednesday The Department of Modern Languages will sp<»isor two films on October 23, at 7:30 p.m. on the 400 level of Lejeune Hall. Admission to this celluloid extravanganza will be'a mere 50c. These two films, brought to you by the same people who gave you the Dracula spec-tacular, concern themselves, with the Middle Ages. The first movie is Fritz Lang's Nibelungen (Kriemhilde's Revenge). It was made in Germany in 1924, but was banned during the Third Reich because it showed Germans merrily hacking each other a-part. This film is based on the legend of Kriemhilde's revenge of the death of her husband Siegfried (Sorry, the her of the 200 level of SSH has not yet been smitten.) This movie is silent, but a musical sound track and English titles have been added f(H* your viewing pleasure. The second flick of the evening will be the award-w i n n i n g C o u rt Jester, starring Danny Kaye, Glynnis Johns, and Basil Rath-bone. This full-color American film, made in 1956, is primarily a spoof of the Middle Ages, with evil tyrants, damsels in distress, dwarves, midgets, and outlaws (much like our own Lanugage Dept.) The entire evenings en-t^ rtainment, including a PX check wiU' last approximately two hours. The evening promises to be a very en-tertaining one (if not the films, then the comments from the floor!). DAS Named Recently the Aerospace Department revealed the list of Air Force cadets who have been designated Distinguished Aerospace Students for the 1974- 75 academic year. The Cadets, comprising 30 per cent of the First Class Aerospace Students, were selected after being judged on academic per-formance, military per-formance, summer camp rating, leadership ability, and personality. The cadets are: D. J. Ber-nardini, V. G. Conner, D. W. Dove, M. R. Fleenor, J. D. Greene, E. D. Heiken, W. G. Houser Jr., C. D. Ingelido, J. W. McCriskin, D. S. MiUer, R. 0. Mines Jr., R. J. Norman, A. B. Nunn III, D. J. Powers, J. W. Sheffield II, M. Skuby and K. P. Wood. Of these cadets, two-thirds may be designated Distingiushed Graduates. This is the only real indication of a cadet's achievement in Air Force ROTC and to be chosen as a Distinguished Graduate is an honor above and beyond the norm. Toney Awarded Scholarship This year's recipient of the Lt. Colonel Virgil I. Grisson * Memorial Award is Cadet William H. Toney Jr.. Selected as one of two cadets in the United States to receive the award. Cadet Toney, a second classman, will be granted a scholarship totalling $2,000 over his final two academic years. The Grissom Memorial Award is dedicated to the late astronaut Lt. Colonel Virgil I. Grissom and is awarded an-nually in recognition of distinguished academic and military excellence and for demonstrated potential for future outstanding con-tributions to the U. S. Air Force and the nation. Cadet Toney, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Toney Sr. of Chesapeake, Virginia, is a Cladet sergeant in the Corps of Cadets and has been academically distinguished in his Rat and Third Class years. He is a member of the Baptist Student Union and the Arnold Air Society and last year received the Reserve Officers Association Award for out-standing leadership and academic achievement in Aerospace Studies. iT-38'8of Air Training Command make the down patrol. This and the T-37 will be at VMI in Little over a week. They're Coming VMI will have a static display of two Air Force jet aircraft for several days b^inning the last part of this month. A Cessna T- 37 and a Northrop T-38 will be out by the evening gun from October 30 to November 2 on the parade ground for the in-spection of Cadets and visitors. Both aircraft are flown by student pilots in USAF Un-dergradute Pilot Training (UPT) once on active duty. Air Training Command Instructor pilots train about 3,000 i^ots per year. Men going to Air Fwce summer camp have the op-portunity to fly in one of these types also. The T-37 was the firsKjet specifically designed for training purposes. It is nicknamed "Tweety Bird" because of the unusual whine of its engines. Some say it is also the only machine in the world that can change jet fuel into noise. The combat version, the A-37 has served in Vietnam. The T-38 "Talon" aircraft on exhibit will be pamted red. white, and blue in the color scheme of those flown by the Air Force demonstration team the Thunderbirds. Recently the Thunderbirds changed oyer from the McDonnell-Douglas iF4 "Phantom" to the T-38 to economize on both manpower and fuel. It is the advanced trainer ^ d can reach super-sonic speeds. It features tan-dem seating as opposed to the side-by-side seating in the T-37. There are several combat versions of the T-38 in service in foreign countries. VMI Theatre Opening Soon Bill Toney The VMI Theatre's season will begin on November 7th with its first production, Enter a Free Man. This play is a comedy in two acts by the British playwright Tom St<^ pard.
