Semper Fidelis OCF Officers Christian Fellowship is a small group of midshipmen that work together to answer questions about Christianity and its relationship to military life and service. Weekly meetings cover such topics as iMilitary men in the New Testament . uSpiritual Combatii. and Avoiding Spir- itual Deterioration While Deployed. Fellowship in all phases of life certainly plays a big part in the career of a midshipman. 26 The motto of the Marine Corps, Semper Fidelis, is a fitting name for this organization. The purpose of Semper Fidelis is to promote the image of the ' Marine Corps. Contrary to the misrepre- sentation of the Marine who eats nails and does all those things Marines are said to do, this organization provides the vehicle to introduce interested midship- men to the Marine Corps, supports benevolent activity in the community, and provides members with challenging outings and trips.

GALLEON After a late start on the 77378 book, the GALLEON staff proved to be an efficient organization. The fact that the staff was inexperienced in the field of yearbook design did not hold back this motivated group. They plunged right in and came out with what you are looking at right now. With a crash course in acronyms they could possibly be among those putting together the NAVPUBS you will undoubtedly use during your Naval career. Who knows? The 77378 academic year has brought new talent and ideas to the Unitis newspaper with aims of broadening horizons and increasing professionalism. Crosscurrems is not the New York Times, but then the New York Times does not cover stories about the intense sports rivalry within the Vanderbilt NROTC Unit or advice from our ttSkjpper . Come to think of it they don't even have a n' Skipper .
