T h e American Management Association is the organizing re-presenting nearly all the nation's business and industries in the development and application of principles and techniques of the science of management.

During the war he served as a consultant on civilian personnel to the Secretary of War and as executive director of the Man-power Commission. He was award ed a War Department citation and a medal of merit for his accom-plishments during his government service. After the war he became vice-president in charge of personnel and public relations and a direc-tor of Montgomery Ward and Com pany.

Student Affiliate Chapter of the American Chemical Society went to Hollins College to attend the February meeting of the Blue Ridge Section of the American Chemical Society. Dr. Herbert Al-yea of Princeton spoke on "The Atomic Bomb; Weapon For Peace." That a Princeton man was upon the stage was obvious, for who else could have illustrated the atomic bomb by defining female sex hormones as "something that, put into a Princeton man one night produces a Harvard man in the morning. Gives Demonstrations Dr. Alyea spoke with a most amazing style—his presentation was indeed unique. Rather than a speech, his lecture was a series of demonstrations, each of which could be compared to one of the basic reactions of atomic fission, the fundamental reaction of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiro-shima. Of interest to the layman, who will, however, not appreciate the theory behind it, is the fact that the "atomic bomb" dropped on Hiroshima was in no way simi-ler to the "atomic bomb" which descended on the inhabitants of Nagasaki, removing them from the face of the earth we know. Traces History After tracing the history of the atomic bomb from the alchemists' attempts to transmute one element to another, (i.e., transform lead into gold) to the current products of Oak Ridge-and Hansford, Wash-ington, and in the near future Conway, South Carolina, Dr. Alyea left the bomb and put to the stu-dents who were assembled the challenge the bomb had put to them. Now, he said, they are standing on the threshold- of a new age—the atomic age. No lon-ger is the question of which nation can win in war against another, for another war would bring such destruction upon all the parties involved that the victor would be far worse off, and have suffered much greater loss than" any nation has yet undergone; that victory would be an empty gain. It is mandatory that the poli-tical scientists tackle the problem of how to settle the question of setting up a means of policing the world and ending war. It is not necessary to decide whether or not active steps against war are feasible, for war is no longer a means for anything other than end-ing life as we know it. It is time that the political scientists apply themselves and all their efforts to solving the problems that the physi-cal scientists and their labors have brought on. 80 Second Class Civils Visit Lone Star Cement Plant Near Roanoke, Va. A group of approximately 80 Second Class Civil Engineering students made an inspection tour of the Lone Star Cement Mill at Lone Star, Virginia on Tuesday, Fel}ruary 26t.h Upon arrival at the plant, the group, accompanied by Major Mc- Donough and Captain Anderson, was split into five sections. Then each section, led by a guide, was given a complete tour of the mill's facilities. The tour started with the quarrying of the limestone and shale and proceeded step by step through the various porcesses required to make cement. The group also saw the rotary kilns at the plant which are among the largest pieces of moving machine-ry in th* world. At the conchision of the tour, refreshments were SCTVMI tad the group returned to the Institute. Trigg, Morgan Head '53 Hop Committee; Clopton, Miller, Maddux, Named Officers Shown above are the officers of the 1953 Hop Committee. Seated, L. to R.—Trigg, Morgan, Miller and Clopton. Standing, L. to R.—Goronto, Murray, and Maddux. Poll Lifts Commanders' Rating Following the recent hops, the VMI CADET conducted a consen-sus in barracks in order to deter-mine the reaction of the corps to the music furnished by the Com-manders. "This cross section' shows that not only were the Commanders popular, but that they would be more than acceptable for the three "minor" dances, i.e. Open-ings, Homecomings, and Midwin-ter. The corps seemed to agree that the music of the Commanders was favorably comparable to the music furnished by most of the name bands which have appeared here recently. The thing which has been most objected to in having the Commanders play at the dances was that in order to attract a girl from any distance, it is necessary to treat her to a "big name band." This theory. however, was in the minority. Most men felt that the lower price of the tickets and the band's readi-ness to play requests more than made up for the difference in quality (if there is any) in the danciabiiity of the music. The Midwinter Hop this year was the best attended Midwinters in the history of the Hop com-mittee. If at the other two "minor" dances such attendance records could be duplicated, the subse-quent increase in revenue would more than make up for the in-crease in ticket costs necessitated by having "name" bands at the major dances. The biggest criticism of the Commander's music was their lack of variety. Perhaps with the pros-pect of increased wages, the musi-cians would be glad to add to their repertoire. D.C. Symphony Here Today Lt. Tigert, 49-C Killed In Nevada Aerial Collision First Lieutenant Thomas W. Tiggert, a graduate of V.M.I, in the class of 1949-C, was killed in Nevada, February 11, when his jet fighter collided with another plane near Las Vegas. Tigertt had only recently returned from Korea, where he flew one hundred mis-sions against the Communists. As a combat pilot with the 49th, Jet Squadron, he was awarded the Air Medal with an Oak Leaf Clus-ter. At the time of his death, he was an instructor at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. Tom Tigertt left his mark on V.M.I. Coming here from Wilmer, Texas, his military ability led him to the rank of regimental adjut ant, and finally to graduation as a Distinguished Military Student. His horsemanship while at the Institute was outstanding, and he received the coveted award for the best horseman in his class. The National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Dr. Howard Mitchell, which presents two concerts in Lexington today. The National Symphony Orches-tra, which will present a concert in the Gymnasium at 8 p.m. to-night, presented a second concert in the Fieldhouse this afternoon. The matinee performance was sponsored by the Rockbridge Edu-cation Association for some two thousand school students of Lex-ington and Rockbridge County. The orchestra, under the able direction of Dr. Howard Mitchell, performed a program which in-cluded among other selections, Dukas' "The Sorcerer's Appren-tice," Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite" and Rossini's Overture to "William T«ll." Toaight, Dr. Mitchell and the NatioMl Symphony will play the second program uader the spon-sorship of the Rockbridge Concert- Theater Series. This year marks the Orchestra's fourth consecutive appearance in Lexington under the same auspices. Dr. Mitchell's evening program will include Pur-cell's "Trumpet Voluntary," Hay-den's Symphony No. 87, Rimsky- Korsakoff's "Capriccio Espagnol" and Brahm's Fourth Symphony, The National Symphony Orches-tra was founded in 1931 by the late Hans Kindler and has since this that date become one of the nation's leading orchestras. How-ard Mitchell joined the orchestra in 1933 as first cellist and has risen through the positions of as-sistant and associate conductor to become its permanent director. (Continued on page 6) W&Vs Recent Fancy Dress Ball Featured in 'Life^ Two of the nation's foremost periodicals, "Life" and "Time" magazines, gave mention to both of the Lexington Institutions of Higher Learning in recent issues.

The story was covered by two women, reporter Betty Schmidt and photographer Lisa Larson. Miss Larson rewarded the "Keydets" with a front page pic-ture of first classman John Taylor. 'Time' Covers Course Time Magazine, belonging, in-cidentolly, to the same chain as Life, ran a short story in its Educational Section in the new course on Personal Relations re-quired of all candidates for a degree in Civil Engineering. The course, according to the Time story, includes everything from lectures on City Government, to how to choose insurance and get along with your wife. The course is given to the First Class, who meet once a week for the lectures. Members Select Ten More Cadets For Dance Group Jack W. Trigg and Austin H.

Miller will handle the obtaining of orchestras, determining those available for selection by the Hop Committee, He will also take care of purchases of decorations, tickets, and other items needed for the dances.
