On January 20, General "al- ways~n-the-mark" Strengarm and his sometimes worthy af-
filiate Colonel Stonewall Elliot led their wayward junior
~ps to Fredericksburg. He had been informed by Privateer Harris Brown that union troops,
led by General Eade and fightin' Doug Smith had plans to attack the unexpecting town and its next door neighbor, Chan-
cellorsville. With this in mind, and the union troops already on their way, the GeneraI aroused his men before sun-up and had them on the road by seven o'clock. Soon after arriving

Solutions were arrived a through committee and sessions, lobbying, and in
'dividual negotiations.
The progress of the VES dele-
gation covered virtually every aspect of the assembly. Balram
Kakkar was elected as the Pr dent of the General Assembly, which is the highest and most difficult position available.
The most admirable work was produced by Keith Gamble (Head Delegate) and Mike Lynch
in the Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Matters C
tee. Together, Keith and Mike wrote, defended, and passed three resolutions for the press- ing problems prevalent in the Americas today. In addition, Clay Edwards authored a resolu-
tion passed by the assembly con- cerning the exploration and alternative sources of energy in the hemisphere.
Altogether, the trip was well worth the hard work required for preparation, and VES looks forward to another successful
delegation next year.

to divide the confederate army and attack the union soldiers from both sides. Stonewall led one regiment south and planned a forceful attack from the West. After a small skirmish at
Kathleen's furnance, the troops marched onward. Shortly after Colonel Elliot had organized his
