six cadets are enrolled in t h e
two year program available at
Emory at Oxford.
This year a modified program
was initiated in the curriculum.
As in the past, leadership lab
oratory continues throughout
the two years. However, the
academic portion is now con
tained hi three quarters. Nor
mal academic college courses
will be accepted by the profes
sor of air science to fulfill the
science requirement for the
other three quarters.
The curriculum of leadership
laboratory has also been re
vised. This lab is intended to
give the second - year cadets
an opportunity to practice and
demonstrate their leadership

ANDERSONVILLE
With the coming of the
Civil War Centennial, which
begins in 1961, no site in Geor
gia could more appropriately
deserve the spotlight this week
than Andersonville National
Cemetery and Prison Park.
Surrounded by an ivy-cover
ed brick wall, under the south
ern shade of magnolias, oaks
and willows the hopes, dreams
and prejudices of Union sol
diers lie dormant forever.
Throughout the 28 acres of
rolling lawns are monuments
erected by northern states in
memory of their dead.
Just north of Americus is
Camp Anderson, as it was
known in 1864, the final rest
ing place of 13,000 prisoners
and at one time the encamp
ment of 33,006 Union soldiers.
There has been much bitter
ness over Andersonville, but
as time goes on and as the real
facts are learned the bitter
cording to the manufacturers,
is potentially the world’s largest
with an eventual capacity dou
ble its expected intial output
when drying and pulping
equipment is added.
An old-fashioned barbeque
is planned for over 5000 in
vited guests after the official
program and Senator Tal
madge’s speech.

ness turns to interest as An

comes one of the greatest at
tractions in the South.
Although nearly a century
has passed since the establish
ment of the Confederate prison
stockade and the tragic events
which transpired there, visi
tors come in a steady stream.
13,259 headstones mark the
final resting place of the feder
al heroes who died there.
Stately monuments have been
erected by the states and the
well-kept grounds and spaci
ous walkways provide a strik
ing contrast to the strife and
anguish of 1864.
There are many stories of
interest told about Anderson
ville during the war. The story
of the misery of the guards as
well as the prisoners, which is
beyond imagination; the story
of Providence Springs and how
the prisoners’ prayers for wat
er were answered; the story of
Gen. John H. Winder, who
caused much of the stigma that
fell on the South: the story of
the trial and hanging, of Capt.
Henry Wirz, commandant' of
the prison; and the story of
“Decoration Day”.

1955 Pulitizer prize Win

attention again on this
