ROTC Flight Training

1NDIANTOWN GAP, PA., December 20 . . . ROTC Cadets (with a yen for Hying), in colleges and universities within the XXI US Army Corps area, who have been unable to enroll in the Army's ROTC Flight Training Program due to the lack of space vacancies, can now be more hopeful of their aspirations for soaring into the 'wild blue yonder'. According to a recent announcement by the Headquarters G-3 (Plans and Training) Office, Second United States Army at Fort George G. Meade, Md., additional quotas have tipped the number of spaces in the Corps area of Pennsylvania, Dela- ware, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia to 90.

Commenting on the progress of

the flight program in the Corps

area, Captain Richard R. Graves,

Corps Aviation Staff Officer, who

also serves as advisor to the vari-

ous schools offering the program

said: "Last year we had only five

schools participating. This year

we have ten. And because of con-

stantly growing interest among

cadets, in addition to the large

number of schools located within

the Corps' area of jurisdiction our

future looks even brighter". "Our

goal for 1963 is 200 spaces", he

continued. So it seems, the previ-

ously air-minded, but ground-borne

Cadets who have had the will to

fly, but no way, may become air-

borne after all.

Cadets Take Boards Again

SMA cadets were faced again

January 12, by a student's most

pressing problem, the College

Board Examinations. As usual they

were held at Lee High School,

where not only SMA cadets took

them, but all the high school sen-

iors and hopeful juniors from the

Staunton vicinity. The main body

of the seniors and juniors took the

morning exams, which consist of

the verbal and math test. But

those who wished to enter colleges

that require more than just the

morning examination were also

faced by the "achievements" given

in the afternoon. Achievements

may be taken in many of the high

school courses studied previously

by the student, such as French,

chemistry, biology, Latin, and Eng-

lish composition.

March 8, Mil. Ball Date

March 8 is the rescheduled Mili-

tary Ball date. The Ball is one

of the top dances of the year and

by far the most colorful. It is

highlighted by an elaborate figure,

the figure consisting of fifty-five

saber bearers and their dates. It

will be led by Cadet Col. S. James

Adkins, assisted by Cadet Lt. Col.

Stephen Landa and John Ketels.

Developmental ReadingScheduled

SMA's new Developmental Read- ing Program begins third quarter, replacing Remedial Reading. Two sections of 40 pupils each, divided among 4 classes, will be held, one in the third and another in the fourth quarter.

Classes are scheduled for periods 2, 4, 5, and 6. There will be 30 days of practice and instruction. Those taking the course will be tested before and after the instruc- tion.

Purpose of the program is to aid the student improve his all-around reading ability, with emphasis on speed, comprehension, and vocabu- lary. Each individual will be furnished the use of a Shadow- scope, an individual reading pacer to help him break such habits as vocalization, regressions, and word by word reading. The controlled reader, a machine for group use, will also give practice in phrase reading and eye-span recognition.

An important part of the pro- gram is the SRA IVa Reading- Laboratory, a series of graded ma- terials from eighth grade level of reading difficulty to college sopho- more. The student begins at a level comfortable to his present reading ability and progresses as far as possible. These materials are especially designed for college preparatory students and require a more critical and analytical type of reading than is .normally needed in speed practice sessions.

This course is not a speed read- ing course in which one can sup- posedly "read" thousands of words a minute, but anyone who con- scientiously applies himself should at least double his reading speed, at the same time improving- his comprehension and increasing his vocabulary.

The first session will begin January 29 and end March 13. Afternoon testing dates tentatively have been set for January 28 and March 12. o

Cheating Widespread, Survey Reveals

NEW YORK (SPE)—A survey conducted by the Luther League of America reveals that 87 percent of teenagers polled confessed that they cheat in school.

l\esults of the survey were published in "Time Out," the magazine of the youth auxiliary of the former United Lutheran Church in America. The findings were compiled by the Rev. Ralph R. Hellerich, Philadelphia, editor.

"I have no delusions about the scientific accuracy of this questionnaire—the whole thing is very questionable," he ad- mits. However, Pastor Hellerich continues, "on the whole I am convinced that the survey presents an accurate cross-section of the views held by Luther Leaguers in regard to this serious problem."

Vlasic, Sanford, Garcia, and Brisbane.

Four cadets are scheduled to be graduated at the mid- year. They are Andrew Brisbane, Sal Garcia, Terry Sanford,

and fohn Vlasic.

Brisbane is a first lieutenant in the band and expects to attend a western college. Garcia, a staff sergeant, who lettered in football and in baseball will attend Y. P. I. Sanford, a corporal with a varsity football letter, will attend Y. P. I. also. Vlasic, a Pfc, will attend Kent State.

Scimitar Published

The Scimitar, the Academy's literary magazine, published its first of three issues in December. The magazine contains writing of general interest, including poems, short stories, and articles on a variety of topics.

The Scimitar material is written

by the Corps itself, and the more

contributions entered, the better the

magazine. The choice of articles

is based on the originality and

literary value of the work, and

the English department gives

credit to those who contribute.

Cash prizes are also awarded for

the best published contribution.

R. Larry Levy is Editor-in-chief

of the Scimitar. Other staff mem-

bers include J. H. Mangan, Jr.,

Associate Editor; John Ketels,

Business Manager; Harold Dietler

and Harrison Williams, Associate

Layout Editors; David Nichols and

Ross Shaw, Circulation Managers;

Peter Bartlett, Typing Editor; and

Richard White, Art Editor. Captain

James W. Walker is faculty ad-

viser to the Scimitar.

The survey found that of the 845 teenagers questioned from 22 states, 838, or 99.2 per cent, admitted that cheating occurred in their school.

Furthermore, 735, or 87 per cent, confessed that they had cheated. The median age of those who re- plied to the 10 questions was 15, making the student a high school sophomore.

Answers Candid Editor Hellerich says he is con-

vinced that in most instances those who answered were entirely frank and honest in supplying informa- tion. "1 am persuaded that they were trying to help us get a clear picture of a disturbing situation— as disturbing to them as it is to us."

Typical of the 99.2 per cent who said cheating was going on in their school were these comments:

"I don't know of anyone who hasn't cheated at one time or another." "Everyone does it in one form or another." "Even the best and most devoted people cheat sometimes in life."

Methods When asked the most common

way of cheating, 485 said that look- ing on someone else's paper was the favorite method. This was ac- complished, they indicated, by a variety of ruses—walking to the pencil sharpener, stretching one's neck and by wandering "eyeballs" and "giraffing."

"The next most frequently men- tioned method (407 times)," the editor writes, "is that of taking answers into the test area." Here the use of concealed textbooks is often the way a student gets cor- rect answers.

However, the students said that the use of crib sheets, or ponies, was also a great help in cheating. The places one can conceal such material—both on and off the stu- dent—were found to lie practically numberless. Shoe soles, pants' cuffs and desks are only a few- places students put their notes.

The human anatomy—fingernails, palms, ankles—also are likely places where a student can scribble notes to help pass a test.

Then, too, some students rely on an elaborate system of signals that are especially useful during true and false and multiple-choice tests.

Lack of Study \\ hen asked to comment on why

they cheat, the students were gen- erally uncommunicative. But, says the Rev. Mr. Hellerich:

"Among the most frequently mentioned reasons for finding it necessary to cheat was the fact that the students didn't study ... Why didn't they study? One word was used more than any other— laziness.

"A second reason for lack of study is the pressure of other ac-

tivities. TV, social activities, just plain running around are some of the things that were mentioned."

Some of the students placed the blame for cheating on their teach- ers. "Poor teachers who don't provide sufficient explanation of the subject matter, teachers too lazy to properly supervise exami- nations, teachers who are unfair in their assignments" all came under student criticism.

Reasons The reasons advanced for not

cheating were basically two: 1. Being properly prepared. 2. A sense of ethics, high moral stand- ards or allied convictions.

The editor does not interpret the latter reasons as necessarily religious. "Many of the replies indicate that the reason for not cheating is that the person knows this will 'only hurt him in the long run.' "

However, he points out that "the weight of a guilty conscience and the knowledge that cheating is con- trary to the will of God, and con- trary to Christian teaching" are frequently mentioned by the stu- dents as a reason for not cheating.

A third group, he writes, was that which was afraid of being caught. "Saddest of all are those who don't cheat simply because they don't care enough!" he con- cludes.

Comments While praising the Lutheran

students for what he called their "refreshing honesty," the editor offered some advice.

"I wish I had some simple, ef- fective answer to pass along to you. But I don't. My generation has itself not been able to handle the problem. We've only gradu- ated to more professional cheating. Stories of embezzlement, glorifica- tion of those who are able to cheat successfully in filling out income tax forms or expense accounts, polite and courteous cheating in business and social worlds are only indications that we ourselves have failed to deal with the problem."

The Lutheran clergyman writes that sucli failure cannot be cor- rected by legal action. What is needed, he says, "is a grass-roots movement directed against dishon- esty in any and every form."

"Groups of young people—two or three, 20 or 30, a whole school — must get together to discuss the problem. Look it squarely in the eye, acknowledge its existence, and then decide what you're going to do about it. Only as you take action can something be done.

"And you'd better hurry," he advises. "Or soon you'll be up here with us, cheating in the big time. I, for one, don't want to see you make it!"

Seniors Beware! This is the day! The semester exams are finally over!

Now we ean relax and wait to hear from colleges. Although hopeful college-bound seniors know thai the

colleges rate their applicants only in the first semester grades, how many seniors realize that the first semester in college is the toughest? Especially for those seniors who decide to slack oft", relax, and live a little?

Many college freshmen are now saying, "1 wish 1 had studied last spring! Then I wouldn't be cramming so much now.''

The second semester may not hinder a person's ac- ceptance to college, but it will greatly hinder his progress in college curriculum. Some schools condition acceptance on maintenance of high grades throughout the spring semeste

Study this spring: it will pay off next spring'

Headmaster's Notes

Let each of us resolve to make 1963 a better year for ourselves, our close associates, and our school.

January 29 begins a new quar- ter. Start from the first day and work conscientiously to learn and understand each subject. Good marks will follow regular and sin- cere effort.

Remember, although others may explain work and suggest how to study, you must do the learning.

Did you hear this definition of ignorance? Ignorance is when you don t know anything and some- body finds out. It is your respon- sibility to learn.

Any Senior who has not started his application to college, should not delay any longer. Write to the registrar of the college you would like to attend and request a catalogue and application forms.

College Board Examinations are required by most colleges. These examinations are given again on March 2, and May 18.

Arrangement to take these ex- aminations should be made now.

Juniors are encouraged to take the May examinations. Juniors, start making your plans now!

Make a regular check of the academic bulletin board. It fre- quently carries announcements of things you should know.

Colleges Get More Crowded

WASHINGTON (SPE) — To- day's high school juniors and sen- iors will deluge America's colleges and universities, Education U.S.A. reports.

It's widely known that college enrollments will double during the 1960's. the newsletter says. But it has not been generally understood that half of the 10-year increase in applications will be concentrated in

the next two academic vears.

The College Entrance Examina-

tion Board says college applications

will increase 50.5 percent during

the 1963-64 and 1964-65 school

years, posing acute problems for

tbe colleges.

Tins fall, college enrollments

topped 4,000.000 for the first time,

according to the U. S. Office of Education.

Cadet Captain Robert Cole came to SAIA as a sophomore from Bridgeton, N. J. and was placed in "D" Company. Last year Cole was a staff sergeant and was later promoted to sergeant first class. This year he commands "D" Com- pany.

Cole is on the Kablegram staff. He has been a member of the Howie Rifles for two years and was a member of the Superintend- ent's guard last year. Cole is the treasurer of the Cotillion Club Committee. He has participated in intramural sports program inten- sively.

While at SALA. Cole has won the Commandant's ribbon once, the Merit ribbon once, and qualified as a Marksman this year.

Cole would like to attend La- fayette College after graduation.

Class Rank Explained

The Mona Lisa The Mona Lisa is the name given to a portrait dime by

Leonardo da Yinci of the second wife of Zanobi del Giocondo, a Florentine (Italy) merchant. It was begun in 1503. When da Vinci died, the portrait was obtained by Frances I of France. It has remained in France since, except when it was once stolen and taken back- to Italy. The picture is the property of the Louvre in Paris.

Among' the world's oldest and best-known pictures, it is famous for its quizzical smile. At the request of Mrs. John F. Kennedy last fall. Andre Malvaux, French Culture Minister, arranged to have the celebrated portrait loaned to the United States for a brief period. Now on display in the National Gallery in Washington, it will also be exhibited briefly in New York City, before it is returned in mid-February.

Several small groups of SMA cadets have gone to Wash- ington to view this priceless art treasure.

Col. Smith, Geometrician Col. William D. Smith was born

in Norfolk, Virginia, and has been teaching since 1916. In 1917 he entered the army, first attending Officers Training School, and then shipping overseas with the 80th Division, which at the time occu- pied France.

After the war was over Col. Smith went back to teaching. He taught mostly at church schools in Virginia and enjoyed this work im- mensely. In 1942 Col. Smith left the "ordinary" life of teaching and came to SMA. Here he was made Major, SMA, by Col. McCabe, Superintendent. Col. Smith has

taught algebra and geometry, also

including in his courses many

things that a cadet cannot find in

a text book.

Col. Smith never lived "on the

Hill." He found a "nice, little

home" near the school, where he

settled down. He has two children and six grandchildren.

Col. Smith says there really haven't been too many big changes since he has been at Staunton. To him, the classes seem to be about the same size. The only really big change that he has witnessed is the enlarging of the asphalt.

His comment about what makes a good student: "Work hard and

keep your nose clean." He has

taught many, and he feels that this

is the best solution. Col. Smith's

love for teaching has been an in-

spiration to the corps, and very

few cadets who pass from these

walls will forget his lessons, not

just geometry, but about life.

done is to have done it. —Hitch your wagon to a star.

Varsity team with Coach Pandak, center. Managers in front.

Scoreboard by Leo Farrall

On Friday, December 14, the Cagemen kept up their fine record by defeating Frederick Military Academy 79-46. And on the very next day the Pandakmen went on to defeat Norfolk Academy by a score of 57-33. On Tuesday. December 18, just two days before Christmas vacation, the Cagemen ventured to the University of Virginia. They met the Fresh- men team, which put on a good performance in defeating the Hilltoppers 84-64.

The team returned from Christmas vacation in excellent physical shape. On Wednesday, January 9, they went to Bridgewater College, and won 69-61. The following Friday they defeated Fishburne Military School by a score of 110-40. Next day the team went to Margrave .Military Academy and was defeated 75-65. Ticich was suffering an injury and the team was taxed from the Fishburne romp.

On Monday. January 14, with three injuries and very upset from the Hargrave loss, the Cagemen went to Ft. Defiance and come back with a 79-55 victory over AMA. As Coach Pandak said, "It's desire that is holding the team together."

On Saturday, January 19. the Hilltoppers met Fork Union at home. They were a tough rival, and the competition was tougher than usual. The Hilltoppers bowed in the fourth period 61-46.

Rebounding from this loss, the Cagemen came back to take Massanutten 72-65 on Monday.

Sharpshooters Still Undefeated

So far this year the famous 5MA Sharpshooters under the fine coach- ing" of Sergeants Ray Tabor and Fred Moore are undefeated in all phases of firing. In the \ -MR1. (Virginia Military Rifle League) SMA leads with a 6-0 record; be- sides that, they have gone 3-0 in non-military matches and have gone 2-0 in postal matches totaling 11 wins and 0 loses.

Presently, the rifle team is en- gaged in the week long firing of the 2nd Army Match in which they compete with all the military schools in the 2nd Army area. Last year they won first place and went on to fire the Nationals repre- senting the 2nd Army. This year the firing is different, because of the use of Olympic targets where the bullseye is not a circle a quar- ter inch in diameter, but a pin point in the center of the bull.

The weekend of January 25-27, the SMA team goes to New York !o lire against the West Point plebe rifle team.

16 Year Reign Punctured

The new year started off rather poorly for the SMA swimming team as Fork Union Military Academy, after many years of arduous work, finally defeated the Dolphins 55-40 on January 16. It is hard to tell where the defeat came, for all members of the team were determined as ever to swim to victory. However, February 5 might tell a different story.

First places were captured by Mike Hamilton in the 100 yard freestyle and Ken Donnalley in the 100 yard breaststroke. Both these swimmers deserve a great deal of credit for placing against such a fine team. The powerful freestyle relay composed of Harry Williams, Frank Cook, Mike Brown, and Rod Smith also gained a first place. o

Three Sign For Football At VPI

Three members of SMA's Vir- ginia Military League Champion- ship football team have signed grants-in-aid to play for Virginia Tech.

The trio signed by Tech's Doug Shively includes fullback Sal Gar- cia of the Bronx, N. Y.; end Billy Gordon of Waynesboro, Va.; and halfback Jeff Phillips of Syracuse, N. Y.

Garcia was a reserve fullback and starting defensive cornerback on Staunton's 1961 championship team and was a starter on both offense and defense last fall. Tech Coach Jerry Claiborne calls Garcia "the finest back I have seen in a long time." He's a 6-foot, 190- pounder.

Gordon, a 193-pounder, played at Waynesboro High School in 1961 and is prized*as a defensive pros- pect. Phillips, like Gordon a starter only on defense, teamed with Garcia at cornerback. He's a 197-pounder.
