VOLUME XLII tiaAi J u VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE, LEXINGTON, VIRGINLl, FEBRUARY 11, 1952 NUMBER 16 Marshall, Lane. Robertson Retain Posts Valentine^s Day Theme Dominates Midwinter Hop Weekend Just Pa^t Commanders Play 2nd Engagement At VMI This Year Sunshine and clear weather pre-dominated throughout the past dance weekend at the Institute. Numerous picnics and parties were attended by members of all classes, who anxiously took advantage of the brief preview of s u m m er weather to correspond with nature. Cadets and their dates were ready to don hiking shoes to par-ticipate in the rebirth of the old mountain climbing craze. Two ath-letic contests were also important events of the weekend. Some eight colleges of the state sent entries to participate in a non-title track meet. Those people who attended the meet in the VMI Field House saw VMI's Keydets win their share of the honors. The VMI Swimming team also was victorious this weekend over William and Mary. The times of these two attractions were regulated in such a way that cadets could take their dates to both meets. Colorful Dance The VMI Commanders, under the leadership of Ted Benson, pro-vided the music for the dances in Cocke "94 Hall on both Friday and Saturday nights. Such numbers as "Once," "Cry" and "Mixed" "Emo-tions" were featured by the Com' manders in their book of new ar-rangements. Two novel renditions, "The VMI Ring Waltz," and Johnny Long's version of "The Spirit," were also among the songs heard.

The gymnasium was decor (Continued on page 6) Gerhart Seger Lectures Corps On Conditions in Germany 1st Class Civils Hear Talk by J. R. Henson Thursday, 7 February, saw the successful completion of the first in a series of discussions on various aspects of Personnel Re-lations conducted by g u e st speakers. These discussions, taking place once a week, are part of the course in Personal Relations required of all 1st class Civils. Bob Caudle, Chairman, assisted by Mitch Mays, Sergeant at Arms, | Bickerstaff, Long, and Meola, in-troduced the first speaker, Mr. John R. Henson of the Industrial Relations Department of the Du- Pont plant in Waynesboro, Mr. Henson, a graduate of Lynchburg College, where he majored in Economics, spoke on The Import-ance of Human Relations to the Technical Man. He divided his subject into ten inter-dependent topics, such as: we all resent domi-nation, we all want to be "in the know", we all like a good fight, we are all inherent sentamenta-lists, and so on, and elaborated in detail on each topic. His talk was followed by a question and answer period which was actively participated in by the Cadets. Mr. Henson taught school for a while after his graduation, then worked for Proctor and Gamble until 1933 when he joined the DuPont Company. He has been at DuPont ever since,' except for a short time when he was at Oak Ridge, where he .was in the Per sonnel . Relations Section. Sincej almost all of his work has been conniBCted with Personal or In dustrial Relations, Mr. Henson was well qualified to speak on his subject. Last Wednesday the corps had the pri\?ilege of hearing a lecture by Mr. Gerhart Seger, a native of Germany, and a naturalized American citizen. During the last war he was interned in a concen-tration camp. He was acquainted with Hitler, and the impressions of Hitler he presented to the corps were one of the highlights of his speech. The topic of Mr. Seger's dis-cussion was Germany, East and West. This is a particularly interesting subject during the pre-sent time, and his talk was very enlightening. He concerned him-self mainly with two points: the position of postwar Western Ger-many in the world today, and what the chances are of Eastern Germany becoming voluntarily communistic. Industry Expanded Under the first point Mr. Se-ger pointed out that Western Ger-many's industrial capacity is above that of its highest pre-war peak. This area is the most active of all those receiving Marshall Plan Aid. He said also that Western Germany is the least inclined toward Communism of all the European states; the Com-munist party received only six percent of the total vote in recent elections. There was also one very interesting point which he stress-ed a great deal. Mr. Seger said that although there is a small neo-nazi group in Germany, it is now being outlawed. Therefore, the Nazi party will not be a pre-dominant element in German society in the future. Regarding the position of Eastern Germany, Mr. Seger firmly be-lieves that they will not go Com-munistic voluntarily. The area of Eastern Germany is predominant-ly agricultural, and history has shown that farmers do not be-lieve in Communism. He says they are in no position to revolt, but they will probably put forth passive resistance. Mr. Seger, who is now affiliated with the New York Times, men-tioned to the corps some points which are not found in the gene-ral run of newspapers. He told the cadets that the free states in Europe are now in the process of writing a democratic constitution, forming a sequel to out own Inter^ state Commerce Act similar to our common currency system. These three democratic factors are esen-tial to the unification of the states of Europe. Enthusiastic Response Mr. Seiger's sense of humor and command of American slang did much to heighten the corp's interest. He has lived in America for only a short while but he seems to have the right expression at all times. The fact that the cadets enjoyed his talk is shown by the number of questions which were asked at the end. There was more audience participation during ing the discussion period than at any previous speech this year. 2nd Term Grade and Demerit Months The following schedule of grade and demerit months is published for the convenience of all cadets and parents: GRADES February—Saturday 1 March (5 weeks) March—Saturday 29 March (4 weeks) April—Saturday 3 May (4 weeks not including Spring Furlough) May—End of the Term (4 weeks) DEMERITS 26 February (4 weeks) 1 April (4 weeks) 29 April (4 weeks) 27 May (4 weeks) End of the Term (2 weeks) Third Class Tops Term Honor List With Eighteen Men Forty-five members of the corps comprise the honor list for the first term of the academic year 1951-1952.

(Continued on page 6) Colonel Pancake Delivers ^^State of the Corps'' Address The new Spring-training pro-gram, observations from a recent trip to The Citadel, reasons for the wearing of the blouse under the overcoat, and an explanation of the process of rank make-overs were the principal topics in a talk given to the corps on Thursday night by Col. Frank R. Pancake. The informal talk was the result of the commandant's plan to speak to the corps on points of interest at least once month. In discussing the recent memo-randum ordering the wearing of the blouse under the overcoat at all times requiring the wearing of the dress uniform. Col Pancake pointed out tht the overcoat was tailored to fit over a blouse. He reasoned that, as a result, the lack of a blouse under the outer garment makes the cadet look con-siderably less military. Hita G.C. Rule The commandant pointed out that his o r d ^ . h i d been prompted by a General Conamittee decision to allow to wear a shirt nd tie under th« overcoat when going uptown (providing that the coat was not removed). He fur-ther read a General Commuttee rule requiring all cadets to wear a presentable uniform when going to class formations, stating that class dyke standards had dropped considerably since September. The Spring Training program, it was indicated, is to last from February 19 to May 9 and is to include instruction in calisthenics, hand-to-hand combat, field equip-ment display and tent pitching to confidence course and demonstra-tion! by the three branches of the army R. O. T. C. at VMI. The program will accent the utiliza-tion of cadets, particularly second and first classmen, as instructors. In taking part in the calisthe-nics portion of the program, men will not only obtain better physi-cal condition, but will also learn to direct physical exercises at the platoon and company level. The confidence course, the com-mandant reported is progressing rather slowly and will be limited financially by the $500 allotted by the Board of Visitors. The battalions, he added, will be issued field equipment and all men will learn to properly pack a field pack, to march with it to the parade ground where tents will be pitched, and to properly display the equipment for inspec-tion. He stated that the school has received about 66 sets of the type of field equipment now beinp used in Korea, and that all men will at least see a demonstration of its packing and display. Army demonstrations may in-clude small scale menuevers on the parade ground by the Infantry, battery demonstrations in the coral by the Artillery, and tank nianuevers at White's Farm by the Armor. The corps, he assured, will march to the latter demon-stration. Citadel Trip In commenting on his trip to The Citadel, Col. Pancake informed the corps that the 1200 cadets of that school do not have any week-ends, they have no honor system, and that they must wear the uni-form at all times during the school year. He praised the room policing and meal formation efficiency at the Charleston school, but indicated dislike for their practice of making the overcoat an optional part of the uniform. Makeovers The Colonel explained the pro-cess of forming the rank make-over list from the company re-commendations to the approval by the Superintendent of all pro-motions. He stressed the import-ance of academic, demerit, and other records in determining re-lative standing of officers. In closing, the Commandant praised the corps' attitude of co-operation since his last talk be-fore Christmas furlough, and stated his desire to see that the spirit continues through Finals 1952.
