In a fierce struggle where the lead changed hands several times, the Staff upended the first-class midshipmen in their annual softball game, 20- 19. Despite this insufferable loss, the first- class found consolation in the plentiful supply of franks, sodas and beer available at the picnic. Many activities went on at this year's picnic: volleyball, softball, frisbees, munching. With all of this and good weather, one could not ha ve asked for a better picnic. i .

1941-1981 A5 the 60s progressed the unit steadily grew in size until 1968 when there were 85 entering college program freshmen and a total enrollment of 347 ! These high numbers are attributable to the draft and the escalation of the ' War which sent college-age men scrambling for a deferment, Vietnam and what was better than ROTC? The increasing anti-war agitation of the early 70s did not bypass Virginia.

The occupations resulted in broken windows an l minor collateral damage. The following year saw an incident where a on y o hecklers interrupted drill by forming up and marching on the dozen or s drill area in mock fashion in the midst of NROTC platoons. When the Unit . . ku CO intervened he was sprayed with shaving cream and cursed. The hec I shouted obscenities at the midshipmen until the Dean of Students ers h' h time the hecklers quickly departed The students were arrived at w IC . brought before the ludiciary Committee where charges were contemptu- usl dismissed The last incident occured in April, 1972 when red paint o y - was tossed in the steps of Maury Hall to protest the recommenced bomb- ing of North Vietnam. Excitement- and enrollment - fell off after the war, with the only new f t fthe unit being our beloved orientation week fbegun in 19721 and ace s o the Long Glass itself.
