    The Millini—June 2016 Volume 2016, Issue 1 The MILLINI A publication from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Department of Military Science The Millini—June 2016 Volume 2016, Issue 1 Message from the Professor of Military Science by LTC Christopher M. Leung I hope everyone is having a great summer! About half of the Fighting Illini Battalion Cadets are involved in Army training this summer. We have Cadets in various training programs including: Cadet Initial Entry Training, Cadet Summer Training, professional internships, internships with foreign militaries, and Air Assault School. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall, with new knowledge and experience, as they prepare to attack a new semester. The spring 2016 semester was challenging, fast paced and certainly provided some great leadership opportunities. We broke ground on some new training and development opportunities, while recognizing our legacy through the UIUC Hall of Fame and alumni outreach. We also saw nine Cadets earn their Presidential Commissions as Second Lieutenants, which was tremendously rewarding. Like General Perkins once said in a famous speech on Mission Command, that is “what we are for” - creating Officers. I offer a well-earned congratulations to our new Lieutenants: Blaha, Duggirala, Kim, Moore, O’Neil, Ripka, Topacio, Williams, and to Cadet Palmer, who will pin her rank later this summer. This is a great milestone for these Officers, and validation of their leadership and hard work over the years as ROTC Cadets. Thank you for all your hard work and sacrifice, and best of luck to you as you go off to your branch training, and to your units to take charge across the country and around the world.

  • CLASSES in Every Educational System There Must Be a Yardstick
    CLASSES In every educational system there must be a yardstick. Invariably this yardstick involves the test of knowledgethe quiz. In spite of the arguments pro and con the quiz remains as the challenge. Here we see the frustration of the announcement, the anguish of study and finally the relief of knowing that its all over. Once again the quiz has established itself as the measure and once again the student has lived up to that measure. Comprising the smallest and most intellectually select of the five classes at Georgia Tech are the Graduates. These ambitious scholars, not to be satisfied with the "run of the mill' Bachelor degree, are exposed to the more highly advanced problems of their chosen profession, so that upon completion of their studies and having been designated a Master of Science, of Architecture, or of City Planning, or the even more respected Doctor of Philosophy, they might properly be considered authorities in their respective fields. Not a few of these students are graduates from engineering schools other than Tech, and they represent not only various states but many of the nations of the world. From Artesia, California, comes Don Kilby, president of the class—a gradu- ate in Chemistry. Vadene Smith, a Physics major, is vice- president, Bobby Barfield is secretary, and the treasurer this year is Larry Comer. GRADUATE STUDENTS ALFORD, CECIL O., Electrical Engineering . Gay, Ga.
