H L CLATERBOS Punishment to fit the crime Did you shave this morning, mister? The midshipman is given ample opportunity to exercise the methods of leadership and or- ganization the Department instills in him through his active participation in the admin- istration of the Brigade. The junior officer ' s role as an administrator and organizer is not overlooked in the curricu- lum offered at the Naval Academy. Fried . . . then frozen. Good morning, sir,

executive Capt. A. M. Shinn Until Second Class year, the average mid- shipman ' s contacts with the Executive Depart- ment have been largely confined to the United States Naval Academy Regulations and the en- forcement thereof. In Second Class year, how- ever, the midshipman is introduced to the aca- demic level of the Department, where what has been formerly taught to him by precept and example is scientifically analyzed and pre- sented under the title of Naval Leadership. In his First Class year, the midshipman is instructed in Naval Organization and Admin- istration and Military Law, which completes the curriculum offered by the Executive De- partment. These latter two subjects are de- signed to give the midshipma n an insight into the ever expanding role played by the junior division officer in the modern Navy.

seamanship navigation Capt. Kenneth G. Schacht The oceans of today are no longer so vast nor are they so trackless. They are crisscrossed and well marked with the roadsigns of LORAN, channel markers and lightships, as well as all the other navigational aids which the mind of man has perfected to satisfy the various needs of seafarers. The stars are nearly always availa- ble to the competent navigator whenever he chooses to call upon them for an exact location of his position. The Department of Seamanship and Navi- gation strives to give to the midshipman by means of classroom recitations, practical works, and drills a fundamental knowledge of Navigation, Seamanship, Naval Tactics and Operations, Communications, Rules of the Nautical Road, and International Law, so that they will become capable junior officers who will be immediately useful upon reporting to the Fleet.
