more authority for the company

obtained opinions about two of the
points made by The Battalion writ
er are:
• There has been almost com
plete cooperation between military
counselors, the Commandant, the
personnel assigned to the .Com
mandant’s office, and the cadet of
ficers assigned to the Eighth Regi
ment.
• The cadet officers assigned to
the Eighth Regiment were ex
tremely well-chosen for their work.
Effectiveness Counts
Of course it is true that some
cadet officers were more effective
than were others. It is also true
that some teachers, some adminis
trators and some college students
do more effective work than do
others. Regardless of an improved
criterion and procedure for the se
lection of Basic Division person
nel, it undoubtedly will always re
main a truism that some persons
in the Basic Division will be more !
effective in their work than are
others.
In its series of articles the Bat
talion has helped the Basic Divi
sion to look back at some of its
failures as well as - some of its
accomplishments this year. The
Basic Division will always welcome
critical analyses of its program
from various persons who have ob
served is closely. It feels that
constructive criticism is a real
contribution to the building of a
sound program. For this, our
thanks go to the Battalion.

Veterans
(Continued from Page 1)
“A person with pride likes to
join an organization that is being
praised and not one that is being
damned,” Breining said.
“All this unjust criticism that is
being heaped on the insurance di
vision is defeating what we aretry-
ing to do—a good job for the vet
eran.”
Veterans administrator Carl R.
Gray, Jr., said in a statement
Breining’s retirement creates a
hole in VA that “will be impossible
completely to fill.”
The insurance department has
16,000 employees. During Brein-
ing’s years in charge, the workers
have issued more than 22,000,000
policies valued at nearly $170,000,-
000,000. About 7,500,000 policies
are still in force.
Breining said he will remain in
Washington, but has no plans for
the future except to fish and rest.

Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests
Number 21...
THE PELICAN
F UR easy-going, big-billed friend has learned to say “No’
to these hurry-up, one-puff, one-sniff cigarette tests! “Why”, says he,
“they don’t even give yon time to finish the cigarette before you’re supposed
to decide which is mildest!” Millions of smokers have come to the same conclusion
-there’s just one real way to test the flavor and mildness of a cigarette! ***?
It’s the s€nsible test... the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, ^ !
which simply asks you to try Camels as a steady smoke-
on a pack-after-pack, day-after-day basis. No snap judgments
needed! After you’ve enjoyed Camels-and only
Camels—for 30 days in your “T-Zone”
(T for Throat, T for Taste), we believe you’ll know why
More People Smoke Camels
than any other rigarette!
