Only a few miles off Virginia
(Beach, where tourists flock in
the summer, 22 UNC midshipmen
also take to the beaches, but in
combat uniform.
The North Carolina students
are part of 800 NROTC midship
men from 34 colleges and uni
versities in the East, Midwest
and South, undergoing rugged
amphibious warfare training.
The midshipmen arrived here
July 12 for a 22-day training
period in modern amphibious
warfare.
For the first two weeks, the
midshipmen received shore train
, ing in planning and executing
amphibious operations. This in
cludes familiarization with an"
types of landing equipment and
vehicles, debarkation from ships
into landing craft by rope nets,
boat handling, removal of ob
stacles on the beaches, and sur
vival methods.
Helicopter Training
The future naval officers were
also acquainted with assault tech
niques called "vertical envelop
ment" a newly developed con
cept of amphibious warfare by
which troops are airlifted from
ships to the beach behind enemy
lines by fast-flying helicopters to
cut off supply lines and form
pincers with troops advancing
from the beach.
Afloat training for the midship
men began when they board the
amphibious ships USS Sandoval,
L'SS Middlesex County and USS
Talbot County Sunday to start
shipboard indoctrination in land
ing techniques.
They culminated their training
'Monday when the . Navy Under
water Demolition Team (Frog
men) joined the midshipmen de
tachment for an actual amphibi
ous assault at nearby Camp Pend
leton. More than 2,600 pounds of
controlled demolitions were det
onated to add realistic combat
situation to the amphibious as
sault. "Graduation"

Film Society Shows Kcaton Films
A two-reel short, "Cops", and
a feature, "The Navigator,"
both starring Buster Keaton,
will be shown by the UNC-Chap-el
Hill Film Society at 8:15 p.m.
this Sunday in Carroll Hall.
"Cops" was one of Keaton's
last and best silent two-reelers
and in it Keaton is a drayman
with a deaf mare, both sought
by the police. Keaton has him
self said that "Navigator" was
one of his two favorite films
and it has been called a 'classic'
of screen comedy. Its plot evol
ves around Buster and his girl,
Kathryn Maguire, being strand
ed on a big runaway ocean liner
with no crew. Marooned in an
over - technicalizcd environment,
they have to create the rudi
ments of natural existence. Visu
al gag builds on each successive
gag in continuous hilarity.
