We would like to sieze this opportunity to remind all faculty and staff that the Cadet greatly desires any infor-mation or aid that you may be able to provide. This year's Cancer Crusade at VMI raised a total of $1,330.84 which is an all-time record for VMI. The previous record was set in 1979 when $1,008.40 was collected. Contributions col-lected in 32 areas at VMI this year, from 185 people, totaled approximately 58% more than the $840.82 collected last year. Col.

As an at-large member of the Executive Committee, Professor Harris will help the State AAUP officers in setting policy and in monitoring the ac-tivities of all Virginia colleges and their faculties. Professor Harris has been a member of the VMI chapter of the AAUP since his arrival in Lexington in 1972 and has recently been reelected to a second term as local chapter president. Cadet Gill Valedictorian by James Bogosian J e f f r e y M. Gill, an academically distinguished Econoihics major, has been selected as valedictorian for the class of 1981. Gill, the top economics major, has been academically distinguished for four years, and is a member of Phi Kappa Phi and Omicron Delta Epsilon. As well as excelling in academics, Gill was also a Cadet Captain and Regimental Operations Officer, Chairman of the Publications Board, Editorial Editor of The VMI Cadet, Vice-President of the Pre-Law Society and Vice- President of the Young Economists. He believes that Economics is a great field of study, but the department needs more iacilities. After all, Gill says, "it is the second most popular major." Gill plans on attending the University of Virginia Law School next fall and has received an educational delay from the Army. Gill was chosen Valedictorian by his classmates, in a somewhat unordinary fashion, but the Class of 1981 seems to have made a wise choice. Class Officer Analysis Past Year In order to best summarize the Class of 1981's four years at VMI, First Class President Bob Morris was interviewed. While this article is keyed on the Class of 1981 with their own trials and t r i b u l a t i o n s , there are similarities between this class and all classes that have passed through Jackson Arch. The general problem with the class of '81, and all classes their first year is the diversification of priorities, according to Bob Morris. Eventually this chang-ing of priorities leads to an apathetical view of anything not required for or associated with graduation. A prime example of this apathetic outlook was this year's ratline. The boasts and promises made at the end of the second class year were all but forgotten after the novelty of running a ratline wore off. "It got old, quick," Morris added. "After the first semester the on-ly thing on a first classman's mind was graduation."" Anything not necessary to graduation was ignored. While apathy towards the ratline was very common during the end oi the year, 1981 had to deal with another problem. "The Ratline" Morris em-phasizes, "should be a joint ef-fort between the administration and the Corps. But the ad-ministration, the Comman-dant's office in particular, was (continued on page 7) VMI Awards Program Announced by Hearne Moore Recognition of the unsung heroes in the VMI family is the main purpose of the VMI Awards Program which was an-nounced on May 1st, 1981. The program will be implemented during the 1981-82 session with the first presentations in the Spring of 1982. The majority of these awards will be monetary, along with occasional grants-in-aid in support of sabbaticals and research directly related to teaching. Recipients will be chosen by the VMI Awards Committee which will be comprised of faculty representatives from the major curricula as well as three cadets and four alumni. The faculty members are Col. D. K. Jamison, Civil Engineer-ing; Col. S. I. Wetmore, Chemistry; Col. R. B. Minnix, Physics; Col. J.B. Davis, English; and Col. A.H. Mor-rison, Economics, and chair-man of the committee. General Morgan will be an ex-officio member and chairman. The cadets and alumni members have yet to be announced. Nomination forms will probably be submitted to the Corps to select candidates for the awards. The VMI Awards Program is made possible by a $100,000 gift from the Robert G. Cabell, III, and Made Morgan Cabell Foun-dation, and a matching gift of $400,000 from the VMI Cam-paign.
