THE TRUTH DOES NOT CEASE TO EXIST MERELY BECAUSE IT IS IGNORED.,

From the Editor- Mike Abbruzze

The JETSTREAM extends a hearty welcome to dl our new gtudents, and a bLhello again" to you seasoned veterans of Embry-Riddle. H c r t w e are again in a u.ew semester. with a new JETSTREAM, a new editor, and a n e w outlook. This first issue wili not contain much in the w a y of n e w s , since the contents of this paper are mostly what you. the students, contribute. So, let me state the policies and principles of thia paper imthis, our first issue. E irst, this is a newspaper; not a m ~ g a z l n e .And a akrange eharacteri~tic of a newspaper is that it m a y be the hottest thing on the stands when i t comes out, but two hours later house-wives w i l l be wrapping their gsrbage in It. W e wknt to get this paper out no less than once a week, Of course this depends solely on tbe amaunt of matcriai w e have to w o r k with- so the more you slip under my door, the more you'll find to read in the paper. ALL letters to the editor cen be handed to me personally, or slipped under the door of the newspaper office. These lettexs will be printed exactly as 1 receive them, and I intend to answer them exactly RS I s e e fit, with little reserve, or only as much as prudence dictates Our main objective- our founding principle- i s to print the truth. subtly, of course. All letters to the editor w i l l have to be signed; V a u s e let's face it- if you're gutsy enough to w r i t e something, you should be gutsy enough to claim it as your own. In11a l s o be glad t o print **forsale" ads. That is, if you have a car, gr radio, or speed equipment or such to sell, give m e the particulars, and we'll put it i n a column for you. W e want varied and sundry articles- come i n snd tell me what yon want printed. If you have same particdar bitch or squall, w r i t e i t u ~ : and bring I E t o me. There is nothing tha-interest like a goad controversy. In my opinion, (and as tne editcr I ' m allowed to do this. E d i t c a i ~ l license , I believe they call it. ) an argum.ent a x discussion helps to keep the cobwebs swept away. If a person is aliowed to wallow in his own ideas, he very soon blends into themud. But when he's cx&Enged, when hk-has to supgort or verify some of txe things he says, his beliefs axe strength- ened by having to defend them. A l s o , when a person is e x p s e d to ideas that conflict w i t h his own. he is often spurred to investigate mare closely that which he% s w a y s taken for granted. So above a11 else, I'd like to cultivate eontrovexsy in the newspaper, New thoughts, new ideas, new methods. Let's shake off all the old, and search for something better. Let's analyze ortrsc~ves-to heck w i t h what's wrong w i t h our neighbors; let's try to remedy what's wrong with us. And in conclusian, let me broach a delicate subject, The !ask semester left the JETSTREA,M in a sorry s h t e , financially. Now, I don" want ta charge anything for the paper, since I feel that the JETSTREAM is the voice of 'Ae students. I know af nowhere in the United States that a person is charged to peak or to listen. And neither w i l l there be any charge for you to print what ygu like, cr read what others have printed. But nontheless, these is still a debt owed, and no funds to cover it. Depending on your response to the firs: few issues of this paper; if public acceptance and parcipitation shows that you wsuld be willing to pay n nickle for an issue, then w e w i l l charge, until we have absolved the debt on the books. When we are once again out of the red, the JETSTREAM w i l l be issued f r d t again. Until next week, thanks.

POSSIBLE PUZZLES Aunt fenny had t h ~ e egreedy nephews; Philip, Sam, and George. They all looked eagsrly forward to the dny when she would die and leave them her money. But Aunt Jenny decided to play them a little trick. Calling fr, her lawyer one day, she mcrde out her will as f o l l o w s : Ti34 tatal e s t a t e , amounting to $ I . , ? 17.00 is to be ahared by the nephews in this manney- Phtlip i s to receive one half, Sam gets one third, and one fourth is given tc George with the provisinn that each is t o receive an amount in evcn dollars rrnly. according to his share. Each nephew is to have 24 hours from the hour of my deeth to caiculate the exact amount of dollars he is &o receive. If in the event any calculated share amounts tc dollars and cents, or if no exact amount in dollars is arrived at at the end of 2 4 hours, the whole sum is forfeited and is to be bequeathed to a worthy charity designahed under paragraph 7 of this will. The very next day Aunt Jenny passed away. and her law ye^ called in ihe three nephews to hear him read the will. At the end of the reading, they started to calculate their shares, but to kheir consternation feud thet no matter how they figured their portions, it wouldn't come out in evcn amounts of dollars. That i s , they always had cents left over. Luckily though, all went well i n the last 10 minutes of She 24 hour period. H o w did they solve their dilemma ? If you rnarsge 2 0 solve this puzzle, submit your answer, and be recognized far it. Not only w i l l ycu win all this glory, but you will also be blessed with the distinct honor of donating next weeks puzzle,

,Technical Miscellany Tiny exotic turbine develcrps 45 to 3 6 0 hp to drive everything from ground effect machines to airplaxes. This midget power- plant that requires no clutch, transmission, rsdiator or starter, has a rotor speeri of 9 2 , 0 0 0 rpm and an o ~ t p u tshaft speed of 5 , 7 5 0 r p m , Most common application of this versatile engine is as a thrust engine on aircraft, similar to JATO units. Navel uses of the engine include rearend rnouqting an a 100 hp compact car to momentarily boost i t ' s tot& power Lo over 46@hp. You small car owners who want a "real sleeper" could have a ball w i t h this. A demonstration go- cart powered by a 105 hp Turbonique accelerates from 0 to 80 mph in just 4 seconds. Therrnolene is the monopropellent secret on the Turbonique. This nitrate- based propellent supplies both fuel and oxygen to eliminate the power- robbing compressor section and carburetor. Most turbine engines will run on everything from bourbon to peanut oil, but not so with the Turbonique. Jt must have it's d i e t of Therrnolene, a fuel, similar EO model airplane fuel, before it w i l l ruc. For the present, it's operation i s too expensive to be practical on a large consumer scale. Future developments of the Turbonique w i l l be interesting to fofiaw. For m o r e information w r i t e tor Turbonique. Inc. P.0.Box 3641, Orlando, Florida. The energy of s. hurricane has beer, measured by Texas A&M scientists and the results are staggering. In sne 24- hour period, a hurricane takes up enough energy t o heat 62 million homes of average size for an entire hesting season in a climate comparable to Washington. Z). C . A hurricane drews

energy from the sea ta sustain itself, so the ~ c i e r in sea-water temperature after the hurricane had passed t o find out hol mzreh energy w a s expended. --ENGINEERING DICEST--

W e received a ele ease from Mr. Pickering, concernjing the our school: "Mrs. Isabel McKay, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of a L r r v r ) Riddle Aeronautical Institute, a nonprofit institme of higher education, today anrmuneed the decision of the Ward of Trustees to relocate the ec at the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport overlooking the beautiful T o k a ~ River in the PayEona Beach Area. It was revealed that the new c a m p u s will cover appraximntei snd contain the three major divisions of aviation txaining: College UL Engineering and Technology, Airframe ard Fowerplank Meehanicd School, a d Flight Training Division. Embry- Riddle Aeronautical Instttute, 'The University of the Air' offers the Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Engineering Technology, and training for Airframe and Fowerplant Mechanics, as well as all pilot ratings leading to F. A. A. licenses. The present enrollment is approximately 400 students, and the permanent staff numbers 6 5 persons, lack R.

WORDS T O LIVE B Y -hy Mike Turner This is Conrad N. Hilton's personal code for success. It managed ta earn for him several milliiln dollars, and maybe it'll work :or me. 1. Find your own particular talent. 2. B e big 3. 13e honest 4. Live with enthusiasm. 5. Don't l e t your passessions possess you. 6 . Don't worry about your problems. 7. Look up to people when you can- down to no one. 8 . Don't cling to the past. 9. Assume ycrur full share of responsibility in the world. 10. Pray consistently and confidently. But if one stops to think of i t , every one of these items is difficult to live up 2 0 consistently. These ten rdes may assure success, but it's Certainly a big ehaUenge to keep the rules. So a person is still only measured ty the amaunt of effoxt h e is willing to expend, no matter what h i s credo. CARS, PLANES, BOATS, eke.

W e ' d a l s o like to put in 3 eo;umn about cars and such. The column is up far grabs, and if you'd like to contribute weekly, we'll put you on the staff. There's lots of info that could be printed up- for instance. the drags at Master's field every week. And I've seen a sharp- Pooki.ng Ariel Square-4 dcwn by the dorms, What about that Triumph ?f yours, AL Kennedy? Haw about scratching up an article about the work you've done on it 'l Dennis Hajduk should have something to say, too. IÂŁ Barge were s t i l l here, he'd give us n lot of news. Of course, maybe we canldn't print it, but maybe fU7.7

w e wolfid ar,*yway. W e want a run- down on that Cherokee, Staffin, and

a,lso s o m e talk about your next aircraft. Skip A u r r e l l can tell s o m e tales about SCUBA diving, and Bill Avery must be building another bLMustPrang". So let's hear about these things. They m a k e gcod reading, (they also fill up lots of room in the paper] and articles like these create personal interest. and that's what sells pspcrs. Concluding this article, I'd like to lament the loss of our two favorite students- and wish then the best of Luck in their next crack at school. [Or should I wish the school good luck? 1 Anyway, Ernbry- Riddle is really going ?o m i s s Charlie and M , owners ar 8 opexators of C&A Collision Service. Frank and J.

Don't B e A Quitter.. Arc you one of those persons w h o nays, "I quit. " when the going gets rough? . M y deepest an3 profound sympathy! It s e e m s that this idea of

quitting- disease has spread itself enough to be noticed. Our school had a f e w problems last trimester that warranted an uprGar from the student bodv, I'll admit. But sumars ran rampant, creating bitter, biased opinions against the administration- Actually, things weren't that bad if one would stop to think. But no, this is where the quitters showed their colors! They sponsored a "Bus-to--Narthrop" fund, w r o t e diligently for catalogs and patticulars to other schools, and even went so far as to pack early. The school has lost m a n y students. Perhaps it's good and well they left. Because, if people w i l l , i n a sense, regroup t!!e resources and fight h a r d e r n e feeling of self- satisfaction and accomplishment w i l l be had. I myself, feel that the school has had much improvement since last semester, and w i l l undaubkedly continue to have. 3ut it's success depends a lot on you,as a student, to stick it out. Let" help the school reap greater things in the future- after all. it's our school, isn't it? I would like to say that w e of the paper are not tryjncfor "broxniepoints" with the administration. But w e ARE for the school, and the -students in genexal. Don't let our school suffer because of a few inconside r a t e ~w ; e are the ones who will be hurt. I
