The Official Organ of the Virginia Military Institute Athletic Association The Cadet Published Weekly By The Corps of Cadets Virginia Military Institute Varsity P l a y s Davidson Oct. 14; Rats Encounter U. of Va., Oct. 27 VOL. XXVII LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA MONDAY, OCT. 9, 1933 No. 3 Life At College Offers Choice Of Two Paths Boston Post Correspondent Points Out Hard Way Is Really Easier In Long Run Says Ignorance Amazing Claims 7 Out Of 10 Unable To Utilize Higher Educations BY BILL CUNNINGHAM Boston Sunday Post Correspondent When the original Adam matricu-lated into the University of Eden, the baboon, or whoever was presi-dent of the institution, must have given him the standard freshman fight talk about improving each shining hour. They always do. The gawky first year class is always herded into some hall where the acoustics are good and some learned-looking gent wearing black night shirt and goat's whis-kers exhorts them in the correct Oxfordian A to apply themselves diligently to their various require-ments, in order that they may emerge at the end of the year, with the satisfying realization that they have taken full advantage of their opportunities. Instead of gently wreathing their heads with this politely phrased hooey, he'd do more for 'em if he tied the tail of his gown, around his middle in a washer-woman's knot, waded down out that pulpit with a stout wart-elm club and bradded it into their noggins with free hand swings where necessary. It's not only a privilege to go to college; it's a stern responsibility, and it's never been quite the stern responsibility that it is in these times. From somewhere and in some miraculous fashion this weary and wobbling world has got to find itself some brains. Getting it back upon its axis is going to require some thinking and keeping it there is going to take some more. If the colleges and universities can't develop some leaders, they'll prove themselves to be what they've sometimes been called—merely glo-rified country clubs. An the young laides and gentle-men in them will have proved themselves false not only to their unusual opportunities, but to the sacrifices that made those opportun-ities possible. Leadership Lacking A wise commentator has charged that the post-war generation has dismally failed to produce the strong leadership vital to world progress. Another has charged flaming post-war youth with the present depres-sion. His points are a trifle far brought. Still they do make some sense. He traces how youth on the crest of the boom, shouldered sane (Continued On Page 7) Arthur Henderson To Speak At University of Richmond A member of the British Parlia-ment, Mr. Arthur Henderson, Jr., will open a series of lectures to be held Oct. 11, 12, and 13 at the Uni-versity of Richmond. Mr. Henderson is the son of Rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson, British secretary of state for foreign af-fairs, and has taken a great inter-est in the policies and activities of the Labor party. At present he is a lecturer in industrial law at the Ruskin College of Oxford. He has been secretary to the Labor party legal advisory committee, secre-tary of the University Labor Fed-eration, and standing counsel to the Labor party. The series of lecturers which Mr. Henderson's address will inaugur-ate is part of the celebration of University Week at the University of Richmond. A Finance Committee Announcement The Second Class Finance Committee feels it neces-sary to call the attention of the Corps to the unsatis-factory distribution of papers in Barracks this year. As in the past all papers have been placed in the en-trance to the mail room, where subscribers may get them. It is frequently the case that three or four men in one day do not get the papers for which they have paid. This is no fault of the Finance Committee, for more papers than there are subscribers are brought into Barracks daily. The committee does not believe that any papers have been intentionally taken without payment, but it does ask that in the future cadets be more careful in getting their papers. If, by mistake, any man finds he has taken the wrong paper, or an ex-tra one, he should return it immediately. The success of the present system of distribution depends entirely on the members of the Corps, and only with their full cooperation can it be achieved.

Colonel May-nard, the Commandant, made some valuable suggestions during the dis-cussion, most of which were adopt-ed. It was finally decided to fol-low the Colonel's suggestion and march the rats to the quadrangle in an orderly manner where they erected under the terms of the loan i. would b e t..a ugh, t, t. o b, race ,(,f.i n out. will compr rise the following: A to you) and be given some prelim-inary instructions.

Discusses Injury To Corps Colonel Maynard in his talk re- t h a t sPa c e h a s b e e n a l l o t t ed The College of William and Mary yesterday filed preliminary plans with the Federal Public Works Board for Virginia for the construc-tion of three buildings and a stad-ium. The aggregate cost of the de-velopment will be approximately $650,000. A formal application for the loans and grants will be made in a few days. The buildingo vvrnen will be Buford, Crawford, J. H ( Darrall, S. H. dormatory to be known as Talia- j Dillard, H. N ferro Hall; a structure to contain class rooms; and a student activi-ties building, which will contain a gymnasium and a swimming pool. The proposed stadium is to seat 10,700 persons, and is to be built encircling an athletic field 420 feet long and 220 feet wide. A feature 20 First Classmen Named For High Standing In Studies On October the 3rd the Superin-tendent issued the names com-prising the Honor List for the month of September. There was a total of sixty-nine Cadets who were eligible for this distinction, the majority of whom were from the First and Second classes. There were no Fourth classmen cited this month due to the fact that they have been in school only a short time. The present Honor list is bearing out the general trend of last year showing a continual in-crease in the number of students excelling in their scholastic work. HEADQUARTERS VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE Lexington, Virginia October 3, 1933. Memorandum No. 14. I. The following cadets of the First, Second and Third Classes comprise the HONOR LIST for the Month of September, 1933, having received an average of 9.00 or more on all topics of instruction and no grade below 8.50 on any topic of instruction. FIRST CLASS BiakeiAore, JN.D. Virginia i - - - s^, III ...... Virginia 500 Watch Gridgraph In JM Hall Saturday A crowd of about five hun-dred persons, including cadets, officers and civilian visitors witnessed the V. M. I.-Army football classic, as portrayed on the gridgraph in the Jackson Memorial Hall on Saturday. Announcer Dick Edmonds broad-cast the game, play by play, from his point of vantage be-hind the gridgraph. The ac-count was telegraphed from Michie Field, West Point, New York. As the illuminated ball moved back and forth across the board, cheers and groans alternately pierced the stillness of the hall, as the Big Red Team crashed through for a gain or was thrown for a loss. The hottest contest on Alumni Field never brought forth more excitement, more nerve-racking suspense. The gridgraph feature was furnished to the corps, officers, and visitors free of charge by the V.

Meen is also a sergeant, a member of the Cadet staff, and a member of the Finance Committee. He is a civil engineer, and his home is New York city. He will un-doubtedly make the '35 Bomb a financial success. The staff this year is to be chosen in a different manner than it has been formerly. Some time in the near future a meeting of all Second Classmen interested in Bomb work is to be called. From this group the editor and business manager will pick their assistants. In this way it is hoped that only those men genuinely interested in such work will be associated with the Bomb. Work on pictures and the larger contracts will be started im-mediately. At a meeting of the Second Class last Tuesday, W. C. Holt and T. C. Meen were elected to head the Staff of the "35 Bomb. They will hold the positions of Editor-in- Chief and Business Manager re-spectively. In view of the great amount of work to done in con-nection with producing the Bomb, the Second Class followed the pre-cedent of '34 in holding early elec-tions to these offices. Clary Holt is from Greensboro, N. C. He is a Liberal Arts and has worn stars since his rat year. He is a member of the Cadet staff and of the Second Class Finance Com-mittee. The new editor is also a high ranking sergeant in E Com-pany. The Second Class is confi-dent that Holt is wholly compe-tent to fulfill his important office. Sophomores At Tulane 'Crack Down' On Frosh New Orleans, La., Sept. 29—In-augurated by a group of alumni, plans for a return to the old system of freshman discipline are being carried through at Tulane Uni-versity. Deploring the laxity and indifference which have sprung up during the past few years, the sophomore class has instituted a drive for the enforcement of fresh-man customs. The movement has met with enthusiasm throughout the school and all upperclassmen are lending support to the sopho-mores. t The traditional green caps are much in evidence, freshmen are beginning to realize the wisdom of avoiding certain forbidden paths on the campus, and the sacred mid-dle steps of Gibson Hall are re-spected as "off limits". The new era has spread to all phases of activity at the University. The alumni have banded together to put a stop to the laxity of fresh-man organization at the football games. Groups of alumni augment-ed by sophomore undergraduates police the stands and see that the freshmen remain in their appoint-ed sections, the idea being to build up a more enthusiastic school spirit. The Hullabaloo, weekly news-paper of Tulane, urges sophomores to realize the seriousness of the (Continued On Pag* 8) Charleston, S. C.—Colonel Oliver J. Bond, dean of The Citadel, South Carolina military college, and form-er president of the institution, died at his residence on the campus on October 1. He jvas sixty-eight years old. Colonel Bond was stricken with a heart attack at his office on Fri-day afternoon and grew steadily worse. His death occurred early Saturday morning. On October 2, the day following Colonel Bond's death, he was to have celebrated his fifty-first an-niversary at The Citadel. Enter-ing the college as a beneficiary cadet on October 2, 1882, he had been connected with the institu-tion as student, professor, presi-dent and dean. President 1908-1931 Colonel Bond served as president of The Citadel from 1908 until his retirement from that office in 1931. In that year he was succeeded by General Charles P. Summerall, former army chief of staff. Gen-eral Summerall was proposed by Colonel Bond to succeed him as president of the South Carolina military institution. The widow of the deceased, the former Miss Mary Fishburne Roach of Bamberg, and a son, Major Oli-ver J. Bond, Jr., U. S. Army, of Columbus, Ohio, survive. Major Bond flew from Columbus to at-tend his father. Funeral services were held at 3 P. M. on October 3, at Saint Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church. At the family's request, military rites were ommitted. However, a com-pany of Citadel cadets were among the honorary pallbearers. V. M. I. To Send Group Local Publicaitons Staffs Ar-range To Be Represented German Press Stripped Of Freedom By Nazis The German Reinch has disre-garded completely what we know in America as the "freedom of the press," has imposed the death pen-alty for circulating treasonable ar-ticles and has placed German newspaper workers directly be-neath the mailed fist of the gov-ernment. The cabinet has passed a num-ber of drastic laws making the publishing of treasonable articles abroad or the introducing of them into Germany punishable by death. Journalism has been made a lic- (Continued On Page 8) Plans for the Virginia Intercol-legiate Press Convention, to be held at the University of Richmond on October 27, 28, are now well under way, and final arrangements for the meeting are being made. Near-ly forty colleges in Virginia and the District of Columbia will send delegates. Both the BOMB and the CADET staffs are making plans for send-ing representatives, N. D. Blake-more and F. C. Brady, editor and business manager of the CADET, plan to represent that publication in Richmond. The BOMB delega-tion has not yet been definitely de-cided upon; However, it is felt certain that R. S. Gilliam, business manager, will attend. The remain-der of the delegation will- be an-nounced shortly. Registrations Pour In Virginia Intercollegiate Press au-thorities in Richmond announce that registrations are beginning to pour in, and that from all indica-tions, this year's meeting promises to be one of the most outstanding ever held by the organization. A. S. Lubersky, of Chicago, who has attended several other V. I. P. conventions, will be in Richmond to take charge of the editors of college annuals. Mr. Lubersky has worked with college annuals for the past twenty years, and is con-sidered an authority in that line. Several men prominently indenti-fied with newspapers in the state will be on the program at Rich-mond. Douglas S. Freeman, edi-tor of the Richmond "News-Leader" will speak on the night of the 28, when the only formal meeting of the convention will take place. Wil-liam S. Lacy, Jr., city editor of the Charlottesville "Daily Progress" will also be present at the cenven-tion. Miss Dulaney To Attend Miss Evelyn Dulaney of Roanoke one of the co-founders of the as-sociation in 1928, and now honor-ary president of the body, will pre-side at the opening meeting which is set for 2 P. M., Friday, October 28. Following the initial meetings, devoted to organization and busi-ness, two hours will be given over to discussion groups, four in num-ber, in which editors of annuals, magazines, and newspapers will discuss their individual troubles. The discussion will also be open to the business managers who at-tend the conference. A social program is planned to follow the formal meeting on Fri-day evening. Nine silver loving cups will be presented at this time to the winners in each of the classes. Saturday morning will be devoted to a short business session and to the discussion of the problems out-lined in the Friday afternoon ses-sions. Guests At Football Game After the final business session at noon on Saturday when officers for 1933-34 will be named and the meeting place for the 1934 conven-tion selected, the members will be the guests of the University of Richmond and Randolph-Macon college at the football classic at the Richmond stadium.
