Then, when we get far enough along, we expect to use Major

W. E. Pairbairn's manual, "Get Tough", to teach them the rougher side
of overcoming @ man by skill. Major Fairbairn was connected with the
Shanghai Hiniolpel Police, the toughest police easigment in the world.

The city was overrun with gangsters and killers, who terrorized civilians
in their vicious trade of white slavery, kidmapping and smuggling.
‘ Major Fairbairn organized and led the famous Shanghai Riot Squad, and _
devised the system of close-combat fighting which todey bears his name,
“the Fairbairn aysten’ - fhe Fairbairn system is taught to the Btitish
commandos and the U. S. Air Fores, end wo expect our leaders to teach
the Fairbairn system.

These are the eis Fred, that I would play up. The obstacle
course naturally comes into prominent position, but the games and the
outdoor activities are other things to stress. We are using Hoch.
Auditorium, Robinson Gymasium, and the basketball teams - freshman
and varsity, are forced to practices at night because the floors are
in use all during the day. That is another important dislocation. We
are using the stadiua for Henry Shenk's class of about 75 fellows in
track and field, and when the football season is over we will move
down and use the indoor track if they do not have a varsity track team.
Also, I think you shoudd mention the requirements of the Navy in using
our drill fields and part of the gymmasium; the OPT's and our classes
naturally fill every availabie space. We have 50 CPT'S using the gyz
ee ee
when the weather is bad. The Navy is going to have a basketball team
and this, together with all of our University intramurals and toughening

) Pardon me for being so lengthy, ‘but I believe that we could mike
a much more spectacular article by putting the bigger things first.
