Admiral Sands Explains Hazing to Naval Affairs Committee
Rear Admiral Sands, superintendent of the Naval Academy, testified before the House Committee on Naval Affairs on hazing at Annapolis. He described mild pranks and severe acts, said the situation is under control, and supported legislation giving the superintendent power to grade punishments for minor breaches. He opposed dismissal for minor offenses and said no inquiry into officer complicity had been pursued due to no official statement of connivance.
