So Far, So Good
The annual Corps evaluation has been completed and
judging by the reaction of college officials, the findings are
encouraging. ^
Designed and administered with complete objectivity,
the survey showed definite signs of growing maturity in the
Corps. Unit commanders were frank m telling ot violations
in their units and were just as quick in giving their action
taken to correct the situation. . ,, , ,
On the whole, their decisions showed serious thought
was being given and their responsibility was not taken lightly.
So it looks as if the Corps is off to a good start this
year. If the attitude thus far maintained is continued, this
year should be the most success! ul yet.
But, if suddenly relieved to find we are doing a good
job, we relax to the point of becoming lazy and neglectful,
we not only lose what we have so tar, but slip back v hei e it
will take even longer to reach the level we are on now.
For the past two years, definite steps have been made
to further the progress toward a more successful Corps. Now
we seem closer than ever in reaching that goal. In order to
continue this progress, we must continue to educate and set
better and better examples for those who are to follow.
One of the primary duties of a leader is that he leaves
a man not only as good, but preferably better than he, to
take his place.

to town. “I got home about dark
and Dad, my step-father, was al
ready home from work. He was
drunk. At least I could tell he had
been taking a few drops.”
The boy said his step-father was
walking around the small house
cursing his mother.
“I was tired of him beating us
up like he had been doing all these
years. I was in the back room
studying and he came in there
mumbling and hit me when I ask
ed what he was saying.”
“Mother turned on the radio
and that made him mad.” Billy
said. “He got up and started hit
ting Mom with a mop.”
Billy said he got the pistol from
the living room.
“1 know he was going to start
heating Mom again,” he said, “so
I got on the couch on my stomach
and held the gun in both hands.”
All three bullets struck Ennis in
the left chest.
