Deadline Set For May 1st On Bomb Copy All copy for the 1940 Bomb will go to press on May 1, Editor' Me- Cluer Gilliam announced tonight. The page borders and opening sec-tion are already in the hands of the printers, and work on the other re-maining sections is rapidly being drawn to a close. All of the work is ahead of schedule, and this issue is expected to be completed earlier than other Bombs in recent years. Bob Shiverts, photography editor, said tonight that over three-fourths of the photographic work has al-ready been completed. Special at-tention is now being paid to the pictorial history of the classes, ana Shiverts expressed his desire for any snapshots that anyone might bring to him. There will be a great number of improvements in this year's Bomb including a larger and better Out-rage section as well as a greater va-riety of all types of pictures. There will only be a limited number of extra copies made, and so ail cadets are urged to put in their orders be-fore The Bomb goes to press, Gilliam said, when interviewed, that the deadline for the first class biographies is midnight tonight. AU biographies which have not been turned in by that time will be writ-ten by the biographical editor, and will not be subject to the approval of the cadets about whom they are written. First Class Hop Huge Success; Band Praised Enjoying the rare treat of the music of the Commanders, the corps turned out in unusually large num-bers for the March First Class hop held in Cocke hall last Saturday night. The dance, lasting for the regular Saturday period of three hours, has been acclaimed by a great many cadets as one of the best dances that they have attended at VMI, Although there was a very good stag line, there was a surprising number of girls present for a First C1&88 hop. Thssc figures sr© even more surprising in that Glenn Mil-ler will play for the coming Easter dances. The music of the Commanders was up to its usual excellent stand-ard. The orchestra received tra-mfflieloiM ovations at the conclusion of its various presentations, and seemed to have received a warmer reception than a great many large bands thai have played at the In-stitute In the past. The gymnasium, cut to its usual proportions for a First Class hop, was gaily decorated in strips of red, white, yellow, brown and green crepe paper. The dancers were especially pleased with the performances of Eu Hensley, director of the orches-tra, who played the saxophone, and of II. K. Hauver, who handled the bass fiddle. One of the most loudly applauded renditions was that <4 the entire orchestra's participation in "The Man That Comes to Our House." Asiatic Relations Subject of Talks To Cadet Groups The members of the Lectem club wUl assemble to the auditorium of the Engineering building at 7:30 to-night to hear a lecture by Dr. Ty-ler Dennett, president of Williams college, and eminent Far eastern expert who is making a lecture tour of Southern colleges under the aus-pices of the Carnegie nstitute. Dr. Dennett will be at VMI through this Friday giving a series of lec-tures. At noon yesterday, the entire corps assembled in Jackson Me-morial hall for the opening address by Dr. Dennett. During the week he will speak to small groups, of cadets similar to the Lectern club. Again on Friday he will address the entire corps in J. M. Hall. General Kilbourne, in introduc-ing the speaker yesterday, stressed the importance of the study of gov-ernmental changes and develop-ment on the present generation and indicated how vitally connected cadets are with foreign affairs. Dr. Dennett, whose subject was "A Political Travelogue," stated at the beginning of his talk that no de-finite conclusion could be drawn, since his subject could not be ade-quately covered in one brief period, and therefore he confined himself to outstanding events of political significance. In Japan, where Dr. Dennett be-gan his recent circuit, the change that has taken place in attitude within the past generation first be-came noticeable. There was a feel-ing of dormant hostility on the part of the military authorities upon en-tering Japan that was soon replac-ed by a sense of restraint upon con-versation and freedom when one had entered the country. In China, the next country visit-ed by Dr. Dennett, the control by the Japanese seems but imperfect at best, and there is a strong feel-ing of nationalism on the part of the Chinese. Dr, Dennett hazarded the opinion that even had not the present war in China intervened, it is very unlikely that foreign inter-ests would have enjoyed their for-mer prosperity in China, because of the growth of nationalistic feeling in that country. In the Philippines at the present time, Dr. Dennett said, there is a division of attitude toward the out-come of Philippine independence which is scheduled to come into ef-fect in 1046. Several responsible Filipinos privately expressed their opinions to Dr. Dennett that the impending independence Is not to be desired, but the majority of the populace seems to look forward to independence with a great deal of eagerness. This attitude of the ma-jority is probably the result of na-tive politicians' efforts to influence opinion, Dr. Dennett explained. An explanation of the situation to Australia concluded Dr, Dennett's speech, which went far to explain a complicated problem facing the world today. Of especial significance throughout the speech was the fact that the Far East no longer wel-comes outside Interests, as was for-merly the case. Foreign Interests have degenerated greatly in the past generation and it Is doubtful If these Interests will ever attain their for-mer status. Captain McCone Return* After Brief Ulne* After mom than thro wette cottftaemwt to the Walter Read General Hospital to Waahingtom, D. C., Captain A. T. McCone. WM& Artillery iwrttuctor, baa ratunMd to Lexington. When an impacted wisdom tooth became infected, the local dentists recommended that he go to the Walter Reed Hospital to have it re-moved. The splitting and pulling of the tooth was a difficult operation which could only have been per-formed safely at a well equipped dental center. The tooth was suc-cessfully removed and Capt. Mc- Cone has resumed classes. The Hunt club, of which Captain McCone is Master, is expecting mure hunts during the coming spring now that Captain McCone has returned to take active charge of the club's aelMttea.

The page borders and opening sec-tion are already in the hands of the printers, and work on the other re-maining sections is rapidly being drawn to a close. All of the work is ahead of schedule, and this issue is expected to be completed earlier than other Bombs in recent years. Bob Shiverts, photography editor, said tonight that over three-fourths of the photographic work has al-ready been completed. Special at-tention is now being paid to the pictorial history of the classes, ana Shiverts expressed his desire for any snapshots that anyone might bring to him.

There will only be a limited number of extra copies made, and so ail cadets are urged to put in their orders be-fore The Bomb goes to press, Gilliam said, when interviewed, that the deadline for the first class biographies is midnight tonight. AU biographies which have not been turned in by that time will be writ-ten by the biographical editor, and will not be subject to the approval of the cadets about whom they are written. First Class Hop Huge Success; Band Praised Enjoying the rare treat of the music of the Commanders, the corps turned out in unusually large num-bers for the March First Class hop held in Cocke hall last Saturday night. The dance, lasting for the regular Saturday period of three hours, has been acclaimed by a great many cadets as one of the best dances that they have attended at VMI, Although there was a very good stag line, there was a surprising number of girls present for a First C1&88 hop. Thssc figures sr© even more surprising in that Glenn Mil-ler will play for the coming Easter dances. The music of the Commanders was up to its usual excellent stand-ard. The orchestra received tra-mfflieloiM ovations at the conclusion of its various presentations, and seemed to have received a warmer reception than a great many large bands thai have played at the In-stitute In the past. The gymnasium, cut to its usual proportions for a First Class hop, was gaily decorated in strips of red, white, yellow, brown and green crepe paper. The dancers were especially pleased with the performances of Eu Hensley, director of the orches-tra, who played the saxophone, and of II. K. Hauver, who handled the bass fiddle. One of the most loudly applauded renditions was that <4 the entire orchestra's participation in "The Man That Comes to Our House." Asiatic Relations Subject of Talks To Cadet Groups The members of the Lectem club wUl assemble to the auditorium of the Engineering building at 7:30 to-night to hear a lecture by Dr. Ty-ler Dennett, president of Williams college, and eminent Far eastern expert who is making a lecture tour of Southern colleges under the aus-pices of the Carnegie nstitute. Dr. Dennett will be at VMI through this Friday giving a series of lec-tures. At noon yesterday, the entire corps assembled in Jackson Me-morial hall for the opening address by Dr. Dennett. During the week he will speak to small groups, of cadets similar to the Lectern club. Again on Friday he will address the entire corps in J. M. Hall. General Kilbourne, in introduc-ing the speaker yesterday, stressed the importance of the study of gov-ernmental changes and develop-ment on the present generation and indicated how vitally connected cadets are with foreign affairs. Dr. Dennett, whose subject was "A Political Travelogue," stated at the beginning of his talk that no de-finite conclusion could be drawn, since his subject could not be ade-quately covered in one brief period, and therefore he confined himself to outstanding events of political significance. In Japan, where Dr. Dennett be-gan his recent circuit, the change that has taken place in attitude within the past generation first be-came noticeable. There was a feel-ing of dormant hostility on the part of the military authorities upon en-tering Japan that was soon replac-ed by a sense of restraint upon con-versation and freedom when one had entered the country. In China, the next country visit-ed by Dr. Dennett, the control by the Japanese seems but imperfect at best, and there is a strong feel-ing of nationalism on the part of the Chinese. Dr, Dennett hazarded the opinion that even had not the present war in China intervened, it is very unlikely that foreign inter-ests would have enjoyed their for-mer prosperity in China, because of the growth of nationalistic feeling in that country. In the Philippines at the present time, Dr. Dennett said, there is a division of attitude toward the out-come of Philippine independence which is scheduled to come into ef-fect in 1046. Several responsible Filipinos privately expressed their opinions to Dr. Dennett that the impending independence Is not to be desired, but the majority of the populace seems to look forward to independence with a great deal of eagerness. This attitude of the ma-jority is probably the result of na-tive politicians' efforts to influence opinion, Dr. Dennett explained. An explanation of the situation to Australia concluded Dr, Dennett's speech, which went far to explain a complicated problem facing the world today. Of especial significance throughout the speech was the fact that the Far East no longer wel-comes outside Interests, as was for-merly the case. Foreign Interests have degenerated greatly in the past generation and it Is doubtful If these Interests will ever attain their for-mer status. Captain McCone Return* After Brief Ulne* After mom than thro wette cottftaemwt to the Walter Read General Hospital to Waahingtom, D. C., Captain A. T. McCone. WM& Artillery iwrttuctor, baa ratunMd to Lexington. When an impacted wisdom tooth became infected, the local dentists recommended that he go to the Walter Reed Hospital to have it re-moved. The splitting and pulling of the tooth was a difficult operation which could only have been per-formed safely at a well equipped dental center. The tooth was suc-cessfully removed and Capt. Mc- Cone has resumed classes. The Hunt club, of which Captain McCone is Master, is expecting mure hunts during the coming spring now that Captain McCone has returned to take active charge of the club's aelMttea. |
