Basic cadet training

Each cadet begins his training at the Air Force Academy with a step off the bus and a

sizing for his cap. His next six weeks are going to be rough and challenging. The only sustaining thought is the knowledge that when its over he will be that much closer to his ultimate goal, his commission in the Air Force.

of the nation's service academies,

USAFA is a distinctive institution. The Academy

provides an outstanding undergraduate educaalong with career motivation and leadership training aimed at producing longterm career officers of high quality. Brigadier General William T. Woodyard, Dean of the Faculty, is directly responsible for this academic tion,

program.

Consisting of thirty percent doctorates and seventy percent masters, General Woodyard's

military faculty

compares

quite favorably

in

academic credentials with other undergraduate institutions. The Academy faculty is organized into 17 departments within four academic divisions: Basic Sciences, Engineering Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities.

General Woodyard has been a member of the Academy faculty since its inception in 1954.

A professor of chemistry since 1955, he was appointed a permanent professor in 1958 and Vice Dean of the Faculty in 1967. He graduated from

pilot training at Randolph Field, Texas in 1940 and has served as a training squadron commander and heavy bomber pilot instructor. His decorations include the Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit, and the Air Force Commendation Medal.

The following is a Polaris interview with the General.

program?

Dean: We felt it in the best interests of the Air

Force to go to the honor graduate program which you referred to as the blue chip program.

We developed the co-op program to provide an opportunity for young men to work up to

their academic potential while here. It did provide that incentive and they went on to areas where the Air Force had a requirement for officers educated in particular disciplines at the graduate level. However we now feel that in the interests of the Air Force it would be better for a young officer to go back to school after he has made some further career commitment to the Air Force. Hopefully the blue chip program, where we designate the top fifteen percent as honor graduates and provide them an assurance of future graduate education, will provide the same incentive as was provided by the co-op programs. You see, we do not have the same incentive as many colleges in en

couraging people to live up to their academic potential. In most cases, after college people get jobs strictly as a function of their academic performance; those who earn "A's" get the best jobs and so on down the line. Here all of our cadets have a guaranteed job; therefore, have over the years developed the enrichprogram, which ultimately evolved into the co-op program and now the blue chip program; all designed to encourage young men to do their best while they are cadets.

Polaris: Does this problem with incentives also

ment

emerge because, in going into a flying position, cadets will not be using the skills learned in

their major?

Dean: We are an organization conceived by the Air Force, established by the Air Force, and totally supported by the Air Force. Therefore, We feel that we must be responsive to the Air

Force's needs. The Air Force states a need for

broadly educated men; therefore, that is why we have the core curriculum. In complying with this suggestion from the Air Force, it may be that we should have a total core system and not have any majors, which we did at one time. The

majors program was developed in 1965; prior to that the

in program was totally prescribed Air Force needs for broadly

meeting the

educated men. Why did the Academy depart from that? I think it was for three reasons. It is important for our recruitment in that if a young man sees he has a chance to earn an academic major in an area in which he has an interest he

might come to the Academy in preference to other institutions. Two, it does provide the incentive for a young man to live up to his potential. If a cadet in his last years here at the Academy is able to select courses he may do a better job than if he is in a totally prescribed program. And third, we do provide the Air Force with officers educated in depth in areas for which the Air Force has a Most graduates go to

requirement.

flying school; this was

i among the major reasons why we discontinued the co-op program. Once an officer completes

flying school he has an obligation to spend a minimum of five years in the cockpit. This is an obligation which I look upon as being a great

privilege. Those who have gone to the co-op

program do not get an opportunity to work in the area of their academic discipline until they have been on active duty for a substantial period following graduation from flying school.

By that time the graduate degree is slightly tar-

nished.

Polaris: How do Academy graduates compare with other graduates, say from ROTC, in going into AFIT programs?

Dean: The big advantage that you have over graduates from other institutions in addition to

the military training, which I think is very important, is the fact that you have had a broad exposure to many disciplines through the core

curriculum. Therefore,

as

an

Academy

graduate, you have the opportunity to go to graduate school in many areas. This is not true of most ROTC graduates. If you look in the AFIT catalog, a document which states requirements the Air Force has for advanced degrees, under Electrical Engineering for example, you will find that in order to be eligible to get a masters degree or PhD you must have a BS in EE or be a service academy graduate. I think that the great strength of the Academy lies in its core program. Recently, I received a letter from a young man who was a math major here and he became interested in going to medical school.

He did well on the Medcat exams and was selected to go to medical school. He points out that there was no university in the world where

he could have gotten an undergraduate degree as a math major and been accepted to medical school. So I think that the fact that you have had a broad exposure to many disciplines does give you many alternatives which ROTC students do not have.

Polaris: Could you go into some of the Academy reforms that have taken place this

year?

early days of the Academy, changes came very rapidly and perhaps were somewhat revolutionary in nature in the perspective of a traditional service academy education. We now feel that our programs are evolutionary in nature rather than revolutionary. Since we are dealing with four of the most important years of a young man's life, the

evolved over the years. This is not to say that we have reached a point that our program is set in concrete or that no new programs will be instituted to meet the needs of the Air Force. To be specific, we have recently developed the Honor Graduate program after years of consideration and study. This is the most important reform this year.

Polaris: Looking at the changes more specifically could you discuss the possibility of a pass-fail system at the Academy?

Dean: I mentioned last year that there might be some room for pass-fail courses in the program.

There are a number of schools that have such courses to varying degrees. However, after consideration I see no advantages to this system at the Air Force Academy. As a matter of fact, I know of many executives who have occasion to hire college graduates and a number say that they do not hire any one who has taken many courses on a pass-fail basis. They want people who have gone for record. There are many others who hold the same position. To answer your question directly, I see no likelihood of pass-fail academic courses at the Academy.

Polaris: Sir, would you care to make any additional comments for the yearbook?

Dean: As I have said before, we are dealing with four of the most important years of your life and that is a very great responsibility.

Providing a four year program that will challenge the individual is a real responsibility and a challenge to us. We could reduce our program, but whom would it hurt? The Air Force for one, but the people hurt most would be those young men coming here. I think that some of the things that have taken place in higher education have hurt many young people who have gone to college. For example, many of them are getting degrees for which there are no job opportunities. Many of them take courses on pass-fail basis and there are no

employers who will hire them. Our primary interests then, are in two areas

-

the Air Force and

you. Our program is heavy; one hundred and forty five hours is the number of semester hours

that you would find at a good engineering school. But, I have a personal feeling that we would be remiss to require less of cadets, for ultimately it would be the cadets that would suffer the most.

changes in the cadet chain of command was the

creation this year of the Wing Academic Officer. This position was established by the Commandant to act as a liaison between the Wing,

the Dean and the Commandant on Academic and academic-related problems. To gain a better perspective of the academic situation here at the Academy, Polaris interviewed C1C George M. Rampulla, the first Wing Academic Officer and the cadet responsible for improving the academic situation and presenting the Wing's problems and suggestions on these matters to the Commandant and the Dean.

This year was primarily an organizational period for the Wing Academic Officer. Not the least of his early difficulties was the need to establish credibility for the office. As a result of his sincere efforts at constructive change, these necessities have been achieved. Cadet Rampulla has developed a serious and productive relationship with the Dean and his staff as well as the academic departments.

Two of Cadet Rampulla's most successful and important accomplishments this year were the Third Class Academic Major Briefing held at Arnold Hall in the Fall and the Academic Survey conducted among the upper three classes. The Academic Major Briefing provided representatives from all departments to discuss their major options to interested Third Classmen. It enabled the Third Classmen to have any and all

50

of their questions pertaining to the various major programs to be answered at one time. The of this briefing established a great deal of respect and credibility for the role of the Wing Academic Officer. The Academic Survey was another major accomplishment last year. In order to present the Wing's complaints adequately to the Dean, Cadet Rampulla needed the facts and figures only a comprehensive survey could provide. Typical questions included "Do you approve of the core curriculum?" (to which 83% of the cadets responded affirmatively) and "How much time do you usually spend studying?" (to which 55% of the cadets indicated they spent four or more hours per day).

As a result of the data collected, the following suggestions were submitted to the Dean for consideration by the Wing Academic Advisory Committee: 1) The semester course unit requirement should be reduced to six Course Units, 2) The maximum number of graded success

reviews and/or papers should be limited to two

majors briefings and the upperclass survey."

However, the Wing Academic Officer has success in dealing with some other problems. One of the first grievances he tried to resolve was the time lost from Christmas leave.

Although unsuccessful last year, it is possible these days may be reinstated to the leave period in the future. He has also met a reluctance to the introduction of pass/fail courses. It is possible that some courses may become pass/fail if the grading is modified to include high and low ranges of pass and fail.

Cadet Rampulla's outlook for the future is optimistic. With the role of the Wing Academic had less

Continuing The

Basic Courses

Large computer terminals are located in each dormitory to aid cadets in their computer courses. All thirdclassmen are required to take a basic programming course. Cadet Jim Heald discusses a program with Julius Hargrove.

During the thirdclass year, the cadet finds himself almost totally involved with the core curriculum.

Generally thought to be the toughest year of academics, this year possesses virtually no spare time for the cadet.

Courses like Comp Sci 200 and Physics 211-212 seem to take every spare moment, and the normal load for the cadet is seven courses. It is not an unfor thirdoccurrence common classmen to be up until the wee hours of the wee hours of the morning in an effort to do all the assigned work for the next days classes.

A Step Towards Specialization

Principles of Aeronautics are taken by secondclassmen. A separate aeronautics laboratory houses several large wind tunnels and jet engines used in these courses.

It is during the secondclass year that the cadet finally begins to get involved in his major area of study.

Although he is not exempt from such core courses as Aeronautics and Electrical Engineering, the cadet generally

maintains a

higher level of academic

motivation due to the fact that he is now enrolled in courses that he has chosen. Unlike thirdclass year, competition is keen from the start since, for the most part, courses are composed of students who are interested in one academic area of study. The relief that was hoped for after thirdclass year is not to be found during secondclass year as the cadet finds himself caught in a learning cycle that seems to end only with the semester.

Second semester is little different.

The emphasis is still placed on the cadet's academic major; the core courses are still there, but they have assumed a secondary role in the cadet's education. By the end of second semester, the cadet's basic

education is all but complete. The battie with the core has virtually ended and the basic courses within the ma-

jors have been completed. The stage is now set for the culmination firstclass year.

To Support The Academic Mission Instructional Technology,

or

I.T.

as it is commonly called, occupies an

important position in support of the educational mission of the Academy.

I.T. makes available to the various academic departments visual materials and training devices which are essential in today's modern

teaching environment. The "shopping

and motion pictures, threedimensional aids, displays, and exhibits. In order to accomplish all of this quickly and efficiently, I.T. is divided into seven divisions—TV, support, academic skills, graphic arts, photography, and production-quality control. This year the department acquired a closed circuit color television capability which makes use of eighty monitors placed throughout Fairchild Hall. Other support materials include a 4000 film library and a huge library of slides and pictorial materials.

Research

Laboratory is one of the three basic research laboratories operated by the U. S. Air Force. It is named in memory of the late Colonel Frank J. Seiler, an Air Force research pioneer. The mission of the laboratory is to conduct research in chemistry, aerospace mechanics, and

applied mathematics. It also provides a means for fostering, encouraging, and supporting faculty and cadet related research. A resident staff of twenty research scientists works closely with the faculty members and cadets on Air Force projects of manual interest. A low-density shock tube, an inertial guidance laboratory and facilities for chemical synthesis and analysis are among the research equipment available for use by the laboratory staff, faculty, and cadets.

The Seiler research laboratory is assigned to the Air Force Systems Command. Equipment and offices of the laboratory are located on the second floor of Fairchild Hall with additional offices on the sixth floor.

Squadron Nickname Fabulous First What can you say about a bunch of guys who tried hard? Naturally we're speaking of those sixth floor hardluck heroes in Fabulous, Fun, Friendly, Funky, CENSORED- First Squadron. Known for it's easy living, those east hall wizards in "Zero Squadron", and a defunct -

flight of elevator pilots, First has always managed to stay in the limelight one way or another. Fortunately, being number one often means the troop is right up in front when it comes to those numerous cadet good deals.

Cracking the whip over us this year was our new K. Sloan II. As 73 and 74 will affirm, few in the transition. Intramurals and

AOC, Major John

problems were

academics took a turn for the better.

73 is packed and ready to go—as they have been for the last three years. After four together these departing seniors are ready to scatter to such hotspots as Big Springs, Texas and Enid, Oklahoma, to name a few. Although 73 may not have attained the image of an ideal cadet, the RAF will always have a place guys with a little pizzazzzz who are always trying to give their best shot.

Hopefully, 74, 75 and 76 will keep up a few of the traditions in Fun One. So far 74 has come on like Brand X, but they do have a few hopefuls in their clan. They inelude that tonguetied duo at the radio mike, Charles Atlas' alter ego, a mumbling rip cord yanker, and assorted other clowns. 75 is still congratulating each other making it into the Academy. Know for their "Hairy Buffalo" par-

problem in securing jobs as attendants in a nursing home. As for the frosh we hope that we made their stay here as pleasant as possible. A few of them are naturals for First Squadron, which is probably why it will be a good thing for them to be scattered to the ties, they should have

no

four winds.

In

keeping with that tradition of the swingin' 50's we yearbook gags in bidding a fond farewell

return to those to our

"buddies" in 73;

Will the Black ever put 5000 miles on

his car?

Does

Roger really feel there is a clique in 74?

If yes who are the ringleaders?

Yestness as Does

a

training officer?

John Eisenhart really have a reserved

parking spot at Pete Field?

Is Vance really happy now that he is out or does he always beat his head against the wall?

Did Rich win the war?

Did Kevin

really smell smoke the night of his

sixth CDB? Can Hansen kick better than Lawson?

Anyone with Kirby for a first name has got to be different.

Was Tony the real Godfather?

Will Mr. & Mrs. Lesser ever invite Gerry to dinner?

Will Bill ever meet Cyrano in the ring?

Will Bart's special order ear muffs ever in at the C-Store?

Did Dave ever really love Chris?

Was Linda just one of Scott's investments? come

238

Will Bill ever get to spend the night in Sydney?

Schmitty Schells schea schells at the

schea schore.

Why did Frank really buy a station wagon?

Will Devin ever graduate from High School?

Will Mike ever admit to alchohol abuse?

With these questions our paths do part. Best wishes to 73 of First Squadron and we hope that your record here is

matched with future success in the RAF or elsewhere.

The Third class did alot of the work and the spirit of the Fourth class far exceeded that of any other squadron. Squadron functions were important. We took our bucket of worms to Farish for fishing. Intramurals were big of course. Leo took the handball team to a Wing Championship. Individual feats highlighted the year also. Callard wrestled his way to the Nationals and Allard jumped 6-8 V2 to a new school record. Entertainment was not lacking. If we weren't

watching Mung Foo (as Smythe would say) we

were at

Ho Jo's or ice skating. Always present was cadet

jargon picked-up from that new album "Life at the BOR"

Squadron Nickname Thirsty Third Arising from the mud of the trenches with the stealth of a cat, the Army didst seek to invade this fair dwelling.

But lo, Skipper, the Brave, strove mightily and subdued the foe saying, "Thou art not of our kind, so get thee hence before we make unto thy office a place of televi-

sion

watching."

And, indeed, did the tribe of Third prosper and grow.

But upon Skipper's left hand, there grew the Haeloque, to whom the right was abomination. And the men of Third did band together, saying, "The time of study is at hand,"

and the Todd replied, "Thou art not funny!"

When the day of drinking of wine was at hand, then didst the wrath of the Dorm become terrible and there

moaning and gnashing of teeth.

was

There didst arise a man of the desert, who replaced Skipper and Haeloque, warning, "Peace be unto y'all."

And upon his right hand sat Ander, son of Ander.

And the age of darkness didst descend upon the lands no more did the squadron march upon the meal, noon, one each.

and

And for forty days did the squadron roam the Wilderness of the quadrangle.

And there walked among the tribe of Three, a hero from the north, and he was called Skalchoe, and he carried a big stick. And Skalchoe counselled the men of Third saying, "Get thee off my back."

And heavily did the snows fall and the man of Rome slew the man of the desert, crowning himself the Toe of Knee. And the Toe of Knee searched the land saying, "Who wouldst be my second?"

"Not

"But I will," said

Lye O'Nell, "For then can I be near the scriptures of Superman and Captain America and study therof."

And so it was, and the Age of Darkness did end though the snow didst fall. Then did Sir Buckley desert his damsel in distress in search of the two wheeled chariot.

Then didst the Rob of Horton dream a dream and prophesied the coming of Crazy Bob, from the Evil Depths. And straightway was the Tribe of Three prepared, saying, "Get thee to thy room and drive not thy chariot of many horses until the moon doth twice appear." And so it was.

And let it be said that of all the

Wing, Thirsty Third is one of them.

Jazz

The course consisted of the light poles on Academy Blvd.

J. D. paid more for his stereo than his car. Better as "murmur" John he also holds the adrenalin pumping record received for his endurance in an out of

known

control T-41 power dive due to an I. P. fluke.

Speaking of Fluke, he is a record holder in the "Command Decision" area, winning his award for not fixing his 'vette (at a cost of $25) but rather driving almost 3000 miles

adding one quart of oil every 25 miles. (He never was any good at Math anyway.)

Right-on Betts from Rebeleven won the red badge of courage when during an inspection he felt he was old enough to inspect without the AOC. (Right-on, right-on, right-on) Backdrop Hansen, replacing Wee Willie Mac as squadron party guy, holds all the records at the PLAZA, where he can be found any weekend.

Big Baby Bur came up with the most original reply when asked if one could borrow his car. "It's in the shop." .

out

How right you were Bur, maybe someday they'll find

what's wrong, but in the meantime keep on suppor-

ting our economy.

Our endurance record holder is none other than Bob

"dog doctor" Carolan who drove cross country in his car with no heater. He also holds the record for teeth chatter-

ing.

Graham

holds

the

record

for

being the

most

honorable. This same personality enjoys hitting the roads with his 914 slot car.

The motor mouth award was won

by Sly for his 437

word per minute jaw on any subject. He also holds the "culture" record for his statement, "The European flair of my SAAB sonnet fits my personality."

Big Mac's claim to fame is being the cadet who came closest to validating badminton. He is also a holder of the football smoking record—says Mac, "Coach musta known I been smoking, 'cause he sure worked it out of me at

practice!" Speed record holder "Quick Willie" has a mind his speed. Ask him what a "jackalope" is and he will instantaneously beam off his knowledge. Says astonished Willie, "I ain't never seen nothing like that to match

before, that's unbelievable."

Harcheck, defending his automotive mechanic title, has tackled such major repairs as a 63 Triumph, where he spent a whole month proving to himself it wouldn't work (he also holds the perseverence record).

Greg "allstar" Gonyea holds the record for going bald the quickest. He also holds the Lucy award, which took up a

goodly amount of

his weekends to do.

"Sonagod"

Roberts holds the runner up record for safe driving, having gotten his drivers license and car late in his senior year and almost losing both when he rear-ended a 'vette at a

stop sign.

Squadron Nickname Frat Five With the graduation of 72 the Frat finally fell into the

hands of

“

73 ". DLT assumed the powers last fall and after

high ratings in several local parades Frat Five was aspiring trip to Washington. The football season had begun in

a

fine fashion and USAFA was headed for a sure bowl vie-

tory. But, General Palmer's steed balked and the chase was on! The October Seven refused to let even a double defeat, going down before each of the sister institutions, destroy their spirit as they cheered the team on from their rooms and eagerly awaited the CC hockey games. Fall intramurals were again a low light for the Frat as the flickerball team, superbly coached by Hub and his cohort from the Norse country, led the squadron to a starting position of 40.

Thanksgiving—Davie decided to relinquish his position and from then until mid-Dark Ages there was a Miss-

ing Link at the head of 5th Squadron Staff. Winter was really hard on the Frat, as we had to surrender three good men to join Houk's staff. CAK, Fabber, and Rainbow all became Groupies. Well, Inauguration came and went.

Many sighs of relief were heard as the Frat took runner-up.

The Dark Ages were fought back valiantly with a series of 2 parties. It was rumored that Captain (B) had a terrible with his shirt while at one of these sostruggle swimming cial functions and the bridge of his nose will never be the same. The

Malt Shop Gang and their Fifties parties became

vital to survival for many. Others, i.e. Fat Al, settled down to

home life. Albert is not alone though, as the Frat has a

record number of weddings coming up after June week.

Sheepdog's bark as Safety Officer was not quite enough to deter all of the mishaps which made Ricardo glad he didn't own a vehicle.

Beak finally got that nose job all his fans have been

waiting for. Orkie doesn't share his chocolate chip cookies anymore, and Quack has been corresponding with Milo Minderbender trying to get into the syndicate.

Randy's water-dogs arf-arfed all the way to a waterpolo wing championship, while the Frat's street fighters led by GAK and Link were upstairs plugging their way to an equally esteemed position. This combination along with winning seasons from all but a sorry volleyball team brought the Frat from last in intramurals to #18.

With spring in sight Hub filled for the Missing Link and is having fits fighting off the fruits of apathy. Along with spring break comes the infamous progress report.

Frat Five comes through on the bottom. Surely this bore the caliber of academic officer of course, they have all been of 73! employed, because, of one the better seasons for sports in 5th Spring being no

Squadron, everyone knows we will soon be #1.

Sandy says he has grown this year. Of course no one believes him. Jack has succeeded in keeping the Talon On the best-seller list despite the censorship and has worked his way into the pentagon. Kahuna has 6000 (or 600?) miles his Vette already (no one's sure if that includes his trip home for pineapples). Kevin wishes he hadn't given up his

Squadron Nickname Tiger Ten Tiger squadron clawed its way into the year suffering from

Hodgkins Disease, but with the help of a little bald dude who called his cat "Doctor Pete and the Medicine

Show," we upped intramurals, slid academics, dueled with the MT, and had a great time. Now the firsties reminisce the past. But how can we forget: Ride, who played the bass with a "twang," or was that Sally's transmission?

Or Glimmer and his strangely cyclical run of accidents?

And David M, the squad minstrel and Dodo All Star Candidate?

Tommy, who wore two sabers, one from Buffalo, one from USAFA.

Hick, the tennis playing-skiing-computer?

And what about Carl, and his friendly card games?

Or car-in-the-closet wally red

slippers?

Also, Dicky, and his uncontested sqdn record with Robin, the Girl Wonder?

The happy injun, our poetry-in-motion Tiger with a Cougar?

Ken M, the chipmunk Lotus pilot?

Rip, our skin-diving Wing Belching Champion/Wall Street schemer?

And even Sweet Maggs, who sang us swan-songs with Diner's Club?

Or

Zorb, jiving Ivan who played with Dirt and won

(almost.)

Dave B, the voice of the tigers, and his flaming fiat?

Also, Doc Charlie, who dared permeate the squdn

with cat formaldehyde?

And Wenger, who manages to rejoyce over UCLA? Captain Hook, the fantom Tigei who nonetheless made his Presence felt?

And Bernie, who hummed while

driving but now

goes whop whop?

Or even Zieg, our Sylacauga Screamer who never lost

faith in the Bear, the Governor, or his flashing white sports car.

Jeff, our book-carrying Indiana scholar and his colleen Colleen?

And what about Tree, who sprouted into the Tiger Nice Guy? Or dear, "Dear Cal," telaphone, telagraph, telawop?

And Char, the karate kid whose Peyton Place adven-

left him smiling a genuine smile?

And how can we forget Jack and Kath—happiness.

Now, from the Tiger Firsties: To 74: Good luck To 75: SW

Squadron Nickname Dirty Dozen Of course Dirty Dozen 1973 will be remembered for

getting Honor Squadron. Or? Yes, as Dozen became more and more convinced of the worth of such

lofty and honorable goals as this, we

worked all the more diligently. Dirty Dozen has a myth which has been passed from one generation to another.

However, as it is a myth, it must remain to be passed by word of mouth, believed by all but written by none.

So the men of Dirty Dozen have turned to themselves, each man making of himself what he feels he should be, carefully avoiding open man wholes. Each man's

loyalty is to the things he knows are worthy and honorable. Still, we are more than cynics. We feel that the greatest loyalty is to duty and the men, without whom the Force would be an empty shell, a meaningless organizational chart. We should attempt to build an Air Force to fit the needs of today and flexible enough to change to meet the needs of tomorrow and the days after.

Squadron Nickname War Eagles This year saw a lot of changes for the War Eagles of Fifteenth Squadron (Military Fifteen to our friends), as it did for much of the rest of the Wing. We started 1973 with a new A.O.C. after Captain Finch left the squadron to find out what it was like to be a full-time college student again.

Fortunately the new A.O.C., Captain Graham, turned out to

be one of the finest and most conscientious officers in

the Air Force. Together with his lovely wife Sandy, the two

quickly became a part of the Squadron.

The Squadron made a great showing in Intramurals this year, even managing to make three sweeps in a row.

Unfortunately the same thing can not be said for academics. We finished 40th in the Wing at the first Prog and our renewed efforts only managed to bring us up to 34th place for the Spring semester prog. Of course the Firsties demonstrated their 17th in the Wing.

Squadron Nickname Stalag 17 And so it comes to pass that, of the original Stalag 17, only a faithful few will finally graduate. Fifteen out of thirty-six, to be exact. Yes, so few that we had three "new guys" added to our paltry number along the way (and may they never forget it). Ask them about the nonexistent '73

shuffle.

The year began under the strong-armed leadership of

Breck, the gymnast, with benevolent Rog in the number spot. For the second go-around, Boyd came back from Staff (to which he later returned), and along with Bob, the indomitable avaitor, as number two, succeeded two

keeping the squadron straight. A not-so-benevolent Rog returned to the head room to lead the squadron during the third go, with "new guy" A. J. being given a chance to show his stuff as Ops. They gave us our bad moments (e.g. "you, get a haircut."), but altogether, not a in

bad bunch of guys.

A relaxed atmosphere was prevalent in the squadron,

and was reported to have had an adverse effect. (Who says we're 40th in academics?) At least we had a good time.

Somewhere in there, we did get first in the ORI, first in the

Doolie Quiz, and sixth in Drill Comp. Kind of

Squadron Nickname Piayboys The year 1972/1973 saw a powerful, balanced perforfrom Cadet Squadron Nineteen.

In intramurals, the Cross-Country team under Bob

mance

Glitz had an impressive season that led to Wing Champs.

Nineteen again delivered, (gulp) With Don

Militarily,

Sam Grier, and Chaw Brown heading the Squadron, things ran smoothly. In the meantime, Rich Estes, Phil Walker, and Chris Campbell all made it up to Wing Staff, to keep things smooth there, too.

Ramm,

In the

area

of academics Nineteen continued

as

a

standout.

The rest of the year was promising. Stram got good grades, a little over 2.0. Smoke, Hardman, Phil and Buck moved along with another good boxing team. '75 left its first permanent mark on the Squadron when Scotty got thrown through a wall, which handy man Kuc had to repair. This year's annual Thanksgiving belly slide led to a

disputed upset of last year's champ Mac. Rams came through with an effort well beyond the CQ shack to win the event. However, Mac still holds the all time record.

(You can tell who is writing this) Chaw looks like he will be off to medical school and Aggie will be making time in graduate school for more math. Flash instilled a sense of

"pride" with 74. Howie and Mike kept the Squadron on the good side of the authorities far, far up above. Keep it up. Rog, Hank, Fluke, Mitch and Chaw will putting on the irons in June, but rumor has it that Majeo has a little wait

before his love life materializes. Hardman just said, "That doesn't sound like Randy." Bart still makes reservations every Saturday night for dinner at the Broadmoor with his date. Rag is making his weekend trips to Kansas. I think he left his Vette there over Christmas and flew back.

Things went well. We all had our good times and our not so

good ones. With hard work, a smile, and the friends

we've made here (it sounds like the Cub Scout motto)

there's a good life ahead.

Squadron Nickname Double Deuce Transition week and expectations of wealth and fame sifted through the halls of Catch 22. The eyes of 75 and 76

lit up at the promise of parties and good times. New shiny

sports cars found their home in the upper lot. Ninetyeight fearless young men were ready to do battle with the dean. And then, wonder of wonders, the year began. A slight setback put the Double Deucers 39th in the wing at the end of fall intramurder. Undaunted by mere statistics and perfect records (0-6), (0-6) 22 X-country and water polo teams "smoked" to wing quarter finals, and a "high" of 35th in the Malanaphy standings.

Not only excelling on the fields of athletics, 22 outshone most other squadrons by being seeded in the top thirties at the end of Fall semester academics. 76, however, showed spirit and fortitude by placing tenth at Spring prog. This was an astounding accomplishment for the Rookies who, fresh from B.C.T., rated 38th in the phase -

-

test.

All is not business with 22 as our appearance may show. 22 has an infamous reputation for being the #1 party

squadron in the wing. Being on the verge of their first party, Cadet Schnoz sat down and cried when the announcement was formally made that it would be cancelled for another month. At this time, the class of 73 would like to bequeath the following onto their successors: To Scotty, the Big Zero wills his deflated leather egg and the reins to the throne. To Peter R., the Bear leaves his set of pelts and high water trou. El Supremo leaves his broken bottle of Vitalis to the Schnoz. To D. J., Fats leaves the December issue of Muscle Man Manual. Bitter Eiles leaves his fondest memories and good luck to Fatty Fick.

The Prince of Warsaw wills his broken squash racket to anyone who can match his talent. Pulchuckham wills one Mick slightly dented front fender to its rightful owner B. Mother McD. leaves his brand on the hides of all the wonderful clowns of 76. Ukelele Laney just leaves his ukelele because no one wants it. Rev. Kneel, more affectionately known as Father Bob, leaves his autographed biography of Billy Graham to Cheetah. Jimbo leaves his grey matter to Frog and G-man to be split as they see fit.

Wayneberry and Spaceman will their bodies to the —

American Cancer

Society. Mocus just decided to leave,

while Pappy is taking it all with him.

Squadron Nickname Crash and Burn Seventy Three, "Crash and Burn." The year came and

lingered. Some enjoyed it, some tolerated it, and one thought marriage would be better and departed for civilian life. Still the squadron hung together.

Jeff took command and started us out well. Then competition. Well, we didn't go to Washington,

came drill

but we ambushed the PFT. So at least we were healthy.

This however, didn't last because the squadron took to the

slopes and brought home their wounded. We prov-

ed we took "Crash and Burn" pretty seriously. Touche did a

good job of proving this too.

Pete took charge and everyone knew who the chain

of command was. Graduation drew nearer and Al left us ."

Spring intramurals came and our basketball team almost made it. Then there was 75's team handball, master-minded by a token firsty. They were a terror, but they couldn't win until "Shoot" missed a game and let someone else score. Intramurals, however, would not have been complete without our Rugby team. They might not have won, but they kept in mind that "It's not whether you win or lose it's how you play the game."

The year closed with Gordy trying to remind us that there was still academics. Then he proved to us that drill is

really "not that hard." Yet the countdown continued, 76 transformed, 75 finally got done with CA, 74 got their cars, and 73 was pushed out to "Crash and Burn" through was

own

bene^it^d j£ie*squadron.< f

Cadets William Harris, Dave Burnett, and William Vinnedge led the squadron as successive squadron commanddfs. Their inspirational leadership was only equalled by the* dedication of their subordinates.

The year was highlighted by a visit from the squadron sponsor's from Tyndall ATB and a "Fabulous Fifties" party at Lawrence Paul. As always, the majority of the squadron's time and effort was devoted to academic studies and

military training. Despite some outstanding performances the intramural teams did not establish a very impressive record. Resorting to loftier pursuits, the squadron did very well in academics and was ranked eleventh at the last evaluation.

It has been a rewarding year. The lonely nights of : study and the periods of drill have been more than compensated for by a close friendships, satisfying accomplishments, and moments of laughter. Those departing the squadron this year will look back on their

membership in 26 with appreciation and affection.

Squadron Nickname Thunderbirds The Thunderbirds were the best in the Wing. We all knew it. We just had difficulty convincing the other

squadrons.

However, we started out strong with Gung-Ho donating his services to Wing Staff. Having struggled his second class year to attain a blue Vette and a girl in the Springs, she left for Texas, and his Vette sat idle while he spent many long hours for Wing Staff. Gung-Ho visited the squadron frequently to find that Bernie (our first squadron commander) had a good handle on the situation—and Capt. Patton, our new AOC. Bernie recalls many fine hours spent discussing the squadron with Capt. Patton. It was a rough first turnaround for all concerned. Before the year was over, we all found that

we

had learned a lot. We may not have ap-

preciated Capt. Patton all the time, but we learned that the long hours he burned up were for a purpose.

Ken had his struggles too. As first turn-around training officer, Ken had us drilling rain or shine—or snow. Being a Mexican exchange student, he couldn't be commissioned in the U.S. without first attaining citizenship.

And he refused to get married for that purpose. Oh well,

Ken, we won't forget you.

Bernie turned over the squadron to Bo second turnaround. How'd you get that name, Bo? He had his share of troubles. His girl went to Vienna. But he managed to find other diversions. All concerning the squadron, naturally.

All this time Rack and Stump were swearing that they would never get married right after graudation. Well, Jan roped Rack at Christmas. Amy took a little longer with Stump—March. They surrendered willingly.

Root had to let go of his beloved bug. He liked a certain Z-car better. But he waited 6 months with no car. He finally settled for an MGB. He loved it. He slept with the keys. Talking about bugs, Bill had a bug that was noisier and faster than any other bug on the road. Chrome wheels, too. Between that and his drums, he was in bliss.

That year had its bad times and its GOOD. The GOOD, poor boy, had a deformed right arm. It looked like a golf club. Tourists would drive by the golf course in winter and see a lonely figure with snowshoes and a club arm. No Good was never lonely. He had girls falling all over him.

Of course, getting serious now, we all remember Sport and his crusade as operations officer third turnaround. His motto, “Why 3 d's; round it off to 4 ." But he was a good sport about the whole year. When it got rough, he'd go down to the Soda Straw for a couple of shakes.

Some windy, dark nights an eerie howl would echo down the halls. But that was just Frank dreaming about Kathy. The squadron had to get used to seeing her name tag under his. We never did figure out who that Wood character was.

At least one member of 27 performed a major miracle

that year. Mick managed to get on 18 trips to D. C. He really loved that city. Rough!

Squadron Nickname Twenty Eight From day one on, 28 had seen the envy and the emnity of every other squadron in the Wing.

Abounding with talent and character, the firsties have been an inspiration to one and ail. With six months to tell his story, "Racer Ralph" aquainted us all with the proper way to drag race. Gracing both ends of the academic spectrum are

"Computer Roodie" and "Broad Beater Dave".

And coordinating all this talent with an iron hand is our "most beloved Untermenschen".

Leading our flight of two degrees in the fair child Snedofortress. Helping "Reg"ulate the squadron are the

"Moody Sam" and Mitch, ably assisted by our CDB authority, Broz.

Next comes Hyper 75, led by such awesome men as Terrible Taylor, Wild Man Wallace, and Dastardly Debes.

Fourthclassmen living under such beasts were befriended

by Friendly Frank, Benevolent Bogs, and Darling Dave.

At last, but best, pulling the squadron together with their academic ability, athletic prowess, fighting spirit, pride in the Academy and the Air Force, those stalwart defenders of the nation and the world, i.e. '76, faced and overcame a grueling (??) training program, unmatched

anywhere in the Wing.

Enabling the squadron to go "the whole nine yards" a was nebulous "fuzzy" force. Influenced by "firm guidance from above", it equated our success with our ability to "cuss and discuss" important issues which insured the smooth running of the squadron.

So, putting together "the whole ball of wax", we can that 28 has made this a year never to be forgotten. say

Squadron Nickname Black Panthers The continuing story of 29th Squadron added another excellent chapter this year thanks to the outstanding ex-

emplary performance of the class of 73.

It

would

be difficult for anyone to find a more in the wing than the "Black

"together" squadron Panthers".

The year began with Craig Bedore at the helm and a few beerball games to get the upperciass acquainted.

Things progressed smoothly as the semester wore on and we lived up to our motto, "Pride through Professionalism." Intramurals went better than expected with the

league play.

As Christmas

came

honcho and we didn't miss a beat. Parties continued, jobs got done, and finals drew ominously near. If not for

squadron participants boodle packages and thoughts of leave, girls, home, skiing and the other important things in life, finals would have been more of a bummer than they were. We came off lucky though and didn't lose anyone to

the Dean.

The long trek toward June Week began again as Christmas leave ended and we were faced with classes and the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages

never really came to 29 though. In January we were one of the two squadrons selected to march in the Inaugural Parade. We all had a great time in D. C. After Christmas leave each class began to look forward to things. The firsties to graduation, the

second class to cars and rings, the third class to the end of their third class year and the fourth class to recognition.

Captain L. E. Golden

In February Neif took command of the squadron and

except for a small period of a return to Phase II and the first morning run in four years it was a smooth spring.

29th Squadron has achieved the goal, reached the summit, and finished the race. We are a close, hardworking, professional squadron. We have run the good race, and in doing so have found the meaning of friendship, pride and professionalism. The leadership has been good, the following good, and the end product a sight to behold.

Squadron Nickname Grim Reapers Have you ever had one of those years when nothing

seemed to go right? Or four? As the Class of '73 shakes loose its surly bonds, and escapes into that ethereal nevernever-land commonly known as the R.A.F., it remains the task of the

rest of the Grim Reapers to uphold 31st squadron's glorious traditions: intramurals (including a Wing Championship in Volleyball), academics, beer-ball games, ping-pong tournaments, marching to meals, AOC shuffles (but Capt. Miller will be back), and dogged per-

sistence (Al Streib did break above

a

What is it about AOC's that makes them

cumulative). so

loveable?

Remember the story about the squadron whose AOC was about to be recycled into another job? The guys got together and, in an effort to show him their appreciation, they bought him a box of the very finest cigars they could find. The AOC, a proud and frugal man, refused the gift.

"I can't accept charity, especially from cadets." he said. The squadron commander, after much deliberation and contemplation, offered to sell him the entire box of cigars for a quarter. The AOC's face grew thoughtful.

"At that price," he said, "I'll take three boxes!" A squadron commander's work is never done, until he is replaced by the next guy, as Richard Hayes, Dan Connelly, and Phil Thorn have all discovered. Good luck We're all going to need it.

Squadron Nickname Roadrunners War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of morale and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men

than himself.

Squadron Nickname Thirty Three Thirty-thrid squadron began fresh this year with a leader Capt. Robert L. Billesbach, an F-4 jockey just back from Southeast Asia, who quickly adapted to his new new

,

role as an AOC. Cadets Donald Meister, Gary Blokland, and Richard Wallace commanded the squadron during the 72-73 year.

A highlight for this year was a squadron trip to our new sponsors, the 60th Military Airlift Wing, at Travis AFB, California. C-141 and C-5 rides were high points of the

trip, along with the time off to spend in the San Francisco area.

Other good times of the year included a fifty's party at Lawrence Paul, the frequent squadron parties, and a softball game between 74 and 75.

Thirty three did well in intramurals, taking third in the

Group and being sparked by very strong tennis, squash, basketball, and swimming teams.

Why, down in the “penthouse" the swine adopted the saying, “You can't see the forest through the bears!" the days at the Who can forget the days of rack beach? And how about the nights at the rocket-car races with “Munce" and “Skipper", or with Paula. (You're blushing Doff!) Then there were those weekends staring at the tube religiously, finding it especially interesting when the CCQ came in and turned it on. What about those funny sounds emanating from Dougdale's room?

The funny smells emanating from Thompson's room?

The "funny people" emanating from Chag's room? Then there were the Class of 1976 Award Presentations in the SAR: "Jock of the Week", and the “The Gerald Graf Driving Proficiency Award", and the “Upperclassman of the Week Award" (with sabers and a very dull razor!).

There were those sad moments, too. The tear-riddengive-'em-hell-going-away-party speeches by the third classmen on the eve of recognition of the Class of 76, the assumption of CCQ duties by 1975 and 76, the restriction of the first class "rippers", and the horrid realization of the second classmen that they were, indeed, “only cadets".

Squadron Nickname Pink Panthers Despite another year the leaning panther still leans, symbolic of our unity. Attempts to make him snap to attion have failed, the panther merely passes through an attentive position only to lean on his other side. Keep on trucking big pinko.

The Class of 73 must be considered the Founding Fathers of 36th Squadron. We have had the rare distinction of serving four years under the Panther, following a still virgin guidon. After four years of living together, however, the Founding Fathers must admit to themselves that they really didn't know each other as well as they thought. We boast the entire spectrum of human character and personalities from a badman to a rattlesnake, a Panda bear to a preacher, a few iconoclasts to a Cupcake, from Eric the Terror to Montana Bob, from a Rat to Frank Norton (Who is Frank Norton?) Welllllllllllll.

These personalities include; Stairwell, Andy Panda, Beetle Bailey, Dirt, Fish, Cupcake, Weird Rus, Crazy Gerry, Mad

Murph, Mush, Mutt, Mully, Mitch, T. C., Vic, S. Schmitty, Preacher Bill, Eric the Terror (the guy who runs sickcall), the Baa, Mike, Chipper, Montana Rob, and good ole Cadet Brennan.

All right 74, here's the ball, Lean to the left, lean to the right, stand up, sit down, fight fight fight! Go for the touchdown but always have a good kicker in reserve. Take

Squadron Nickname All Stars Starting off the year with a brand new fighter pilot AOC and the first real Doll Baby veterans, the All Stars

prepared to make a place in the Wing for themselves. The 38'ers, even though they were haunted by a formidable (and not necessarily favorable) reputation, launched out with an enthusiasm and spirit not previously seen in the carpeted suite. And as things began to click, heads turned,

eyebrows raised because who would have ever thought that good 'ole 38 was capable of caring! After the dust cleared, the wing lacrosse championship was theirs, thanks to Vito, and they wrapped up the season numero uno in group intramurals. So even though they would have vigorously denied it if asked, they did care. As individuals shape the squadron, thus did the first class leave and

their mark. The remarkable unity and closeness of 73 was quickly transmitted throughout the squadron creating a

cohesiveness no one could touch.

To be sure, the lighter side of life cannot be neglected, and when the time came, the All Stars played hard too. Squeels started off the year with a bang and managed to continue his restricted traditions throughout his senior life. Beaner, Bird, and Termite all

managed to

catch a lot of fish in the Wing, and Luke found that riding a roller coaster really does pay off. Hegs did stay out of the Commandant's proximity for hours at a time and Big Al

finished dating his list of girls in Colorado. Rahway, B. J., Gomer, Larry, Boner, and Slot all slipped the surly clutches of their alma mater only to be caught up in the inevitable

holy deadlock. They did learn one thing worthwhile: a wife can make good pillows if the price is right.

After finally getting a TV, Slick and the gang established their permanent residences, interrupted only by the "tump-tap, tump-tap, CRASH" of Hose-nose sending another ping pong paddle smashing into the wall.

Everyone learned to respect Rick, the "Rung Fu" of 38 (even Macker showed us the practical, everyday uses of bar-room UC), and Pop for taking his first drink and excursion into bidding a set price down. Odle stopped "Kittying" around, and Brink showed our new squadron sponsors

a

good time.

All in all, the All Stars accomplished what they had set out to do: to prove that the 38th

Squadron was more than and to still have fun doing it. But don't just party place, ever ask any one of them who was responsible for the change because, even though they were all a part of it, none of them will take the credit. a

We feel we have succeeded in all areas.

Suddenly, the day turns on; the burning majesty rises from behind a cloud to give the earth below its of life. rays

Snow-covered pillars of wood at once bend and creak with the morning's first breath; the whole of humanity impulsively signs a tune of merriment and anticipation. Great, metallic monsters send the masses up the challenging, imposing, snow-covered earth, the swirling moguls ready to contest the wits and skills of the intrepid.

Knifing down the slopes, they twist and turn with

razor-sharp ease; some quickly submit to the unmoving but deceptive opponent, quite abruptly ending in a tangle of arms and legs. Others race down the hill, a single, almost mechanical, unit. Those called hot-doggers jump high into the unresisting sky, and with the finesse of divers, somersault to the ocean of snow below, racing down to the next jump; their colleagues explode down in pairs, shooting through each other's legs with the accuracy of an arrow and the daring of gods. Mechanically, they go up again, and almost as quickly, they barrel down, what seemed to be at the top, a bottomless rollercoaster.

The Festival featured four days of seminars, displays and entertainment aimed at educating cadets about minority culture. The keynote address was given by famed sports personality Bill Russell. Throughout his

"We are all in this together," he said.

...

And Our Brothers Came Home In 1973

Those of us who stayed up late into the night of 11-12

February 1973 were witnesses to a truly great event. In watching the C-141's land at Clark AFB and the returning POW's deplane, one could not help but be conscious of the intensity of feeling these men possessed as they made their way, at long last, to freedom.

Just in watching the scene on TV, one could not help but get caught up in a tremendous current of emotion.

Years of hope, speculation and disappointment for these men were finally at an end. Few people expected to see the prisoners return after so many long years of torment with the strength and spirit they displayed; indeed it

420

...

seemed a miracle.

One had the impression that the returning POW's strength and spirit was great. Facts about the "Allied Prisoners of War Wing" would show this to be true, true.

Mental activity, athletics, faith in God, country and

family, pride in themselves as men and in the Wing motto of "Return with Honor" all contributed very importantly the POW's return. As Colonel Robinson Risner stated, "We had a comradeship amongst us, a loyalty, an to

integri-

ty, that may never be found in any group of men."

important determinant in our lives. At our stage in life,

the threshold of independence and responsibility, we often seek to make religion convenient to and on

us, picking choosing what we need to achieve our specific goals.

In this milieu, the chaplains' responsibilities to the spiritual needs of the Wing have not changed, yet with the end of mandatory chapel, the chaplains have had ad

422

ditional impetus to present to the Cadet Wing, activities which are both vital and relevant. As such, there have been many religious programs for those who desire to

practice their religion. This past year, these programs have included Religious Emphasis Week (with an emphasis on the common search for truth), religious discussion groups, retreats, and special meetings for all faiths in the All Faiths Room. The chaplains have been encouraging cadets to continue supporting their religious program. This year

religion has become more of a personal thing.

High aloft, a speck of an aircraft turns in on final, and the radio in the judges area blurts out: “30 seconds to

drop." The judges move to their telemeters, take sight of buzzing speck far above, and focus in. The aircraft leaps into view as each judge sees the effect of twenty power magnification. As the aircraft nears overhead one of the judges signals to drop, the message is relayed, and far above in a noisy, clattering Cessna, the pilot drops his the

arm.

Cadet Tom Henricks, competing in the intermediate style event, drops away from the aircraft-into the quiet, lonely world of freefall.

Each member of the Academy's 9 man team doing his part. The points build up, and several days later the outcome is clear: the Air Force Academy has narrowly defeated Southern Illinois University and West Point, along with sixty other schools competing at the National Collegiate Parachuting Championships. Team captain Mike Smith receives the traditional Galvin Gavel Trophy, which already has the Air Force Academy's name etched on

it four times.

1972 was a good year for the Jump Team, which performed demonstrations and competed in meets from Canada to Florida. In addition, a record number of cadets were trained in the basic emergency freefall course: AM490. Looking ahead, the team

hopes to send four or five of its twenty members to the U.S. Nationals this summer, with a possibility of placing one jumper on the U.S. Team.

Barring continued bad weather and airfield construction, year's team looks strong, and should continue the winning tradition of the Air Force Academy Jump Team. next

The club stimulates interest in the practice of C.E. and

provides practical experience through cadet participation in the field. Many field trips were organized so that the members could talk with

civilian and Air Force civil engineers.

Academy Assembly

This year, as in the past, the Cadet Wing, in

conjunction with the Department of Political Science, hosted the Air Force Academy Assembly.

Approximately 100 top-ranking young scholars from colleges and universities throughout the country gathered for four days to consider a

specific issue of US policy. The topic this year was "The United States and the United Nations".

436

Throughout the four days, cadets and their civilian guests interchanged ideas and discussed such key issues as "The UN in Perspective and its Peacekeeping Role", "Structural Problems in the UN", and "The UN and the Economic and Social Function".

437

The Psychology Club gives the

cadets an opportunity to keep abreast of developments in the field of psychology both in and outside the Air Force. Meetings of the club are used to discuss a variety of topics ranging from problems in the ghetto to group therapy as a means

of curing drug addiction.

CAFPOW This cadet organization has spent its entire existence on

one

theme: to be an infor-

mation source and a supporting group for the Prisoners of War in Viet Nam. This year their

goal was partially achieved when the CeaseFire took place, the Treaty was signed, and the POW's

came

home. It

was

a

heart-warming

experience to be the first to tell a waiting wife that her husband was alive and on his way home. But now, and in the future, they will dedicate all their energy to locating the MIA's and lost POW's.

C1C Harmon heads a meeting of CAFPOW officers to discuss the Vietnam cease-fire.

439

The purpose of the Chemistry Club is to provide its members with an opportunity to better appreciate the field of chemistry through lectures from men in the field, both Air Force and civilians, as well as through tours of the many local industries in which chemistry plays a major

part. Trips to Air Force Bases are also planned to give the cadets a better feel for what the Air Force is doing in chemical research. The Seiler Lab here at the Academy is one of the major research labs in the Air Force and gives the cadets in the major an opportunity to see the many

This was the year we opened our doors, very modestly, and issued our first policy to an American

officer.

We were told then that it was poor business to insure

military men.

We thought differently.

For over three decades,

through conflict after conflict, we provided officers with the kind of insurance many other companies were reluctant to offer. And

because we did, each of them carried

extra meas-

America prevailed. Today we have peace, however fragile. But it is a start, a start earned largely through our military efforts.

computer story.

Were the erosion patterns in the valley walls caused by water run-offs? (Mars isn’t supposed to have that much water.) Or were they caused by volcanic action or sav-

age windstorms?

These are questions that will be answered by the scientists at Cal Tech’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. UNIVAC® computer 1230 helps by making good photos out of so-so photos.

When a picture of Mars is first received from NASA’s Mariner satellife, it’s been radioed across 140 million miles of space and it can be dimmed by glare and dust on the planet’s surface. Usually it isn’t much to look at.

But after it’s been touched up by 1230, there’s plenty to look at.

Suddenly canyons yawn, mountains thrust up, craters deepen and all kinds of questions arise about how it all could have happened.

It used to take six months to reconstruct a Mars photo satisfactorily.

1230 does the job in less than six minutes. But speed isn’t 1230’s only attribute.

The computer was also built for strength because it would have to travel to Florida to help with the Mariner launch. This ruggedness got an unexpected test when part of the lab roof fell in during an earthquake.

After the shower of ceiling tiles and debris was cleared away, howtechnicians found that 1230 had never missed a beat. ever, Not all UNIVAC computer systems live the exciting, far-out life of 1230. But around the world, for a growing variety of customers, they are successfully taking projects that used to be thought impossible and reducing them to mere routine.

To find out how excellent equipment, hard work and creative worry can make your problems seem routine, write Federal Government Marketing, SPERRY UNIVAC, 2121 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20007.

A Mariner photo is sent back in a radio stream of 580,000 signals coded for light-to-dark intensity. UNIVAC computer 1230 MTC takes those signals and enhances them subtly to make darks darker and lights lighter. The resulting contrast brings out obscure terrain features.

Tiger*

It lives in another kind of jungle. Cold. Bright. Blue. It

flies in the trees. Just above. Or way above.

Our new F-5E Tiger II was bred for it.The arena where most

Mach 0.4 and 1.4 victory is to the

agile.To the relentless.To the tigers.

Combine this air-to-air superi-

ority with a significant boost in

ground attack capability. Cap with a top speed of Mach 1.6. All together, Tiger II makes a lot of dollar sense.

Northrop already has orders for over 450.They’re now being built. At promised cost. Ahead of schedule. In what has been termed the most completely automated and efficient production operation in the industry.

We expect great things from this tiger. Well, we should. It’s a part of the creative technology that

spawned the F-5. The T-38. The Cobra P-530. The USAF YF-17.

The awesome the very best.

Leadership means responsibility. At Pioneer we do not accept this lightly.

This is dramatized magnificently by the new SX-828. As the top of the great Pioneer line of receivers, the SX-828 is extravagantly endowed with

increased performance, greater power, unsurpassed precision and total versatility.

Providing 270 watts of IHF music power (that’s 60+60 watts RMS at 8 ohms, with both channels driven), there's more than enough power to fill your world. And it’s consistently controlled throughout the 20-20,000 Hz bandwidth with direct-coupled circuitry and dual power supplies.

Suburbia, exurbia or innercity.

It makes no difference to this superior

performer. Advanced FET/IC circuitry brings in each FM station smoothly and cleanly as though it’s the only one on the dial. Small wonder with 1.7uV

FM sensitivity and 1.5dB capture ratio.

Music lovers will have a field day with a complete range of connections for 2 turntables, 2 tape decks, 2 headsets, 2 microphones, 3 pairs of

auxiliary, plus 4-channel speakers, terminals, when you want them. an

And Pioneer really pampers you with features like: a new and exclusive fail-safe circuit to protect your speakers against damage and DC leakage, a super wide angled dial that

controls, dual tuning meters, hi/low filters, audio muting, and even a dial dimmer to set a more amorous mood.

At $469.95, including a walnut cabinet, the SX-828 is overwhelmingly the very best receiver at its price. It

completely fulfills Pioneer’s responsibility of leadership. Hear it at your Pioneer dealer.

Introducing BROOKS & PERKINS new A/A32H-4A

*

CARGO HANDLING SYSTEM for the C-130 Aircraft OPERATIONAL READINESS IN MINUTES INSTEAD OF HOURS

.

.

.

The "Dash 4A" Cargo Handling System for the C-130 incorporates certain improvements shown to be desirable by extensive use of the

A/A32H-1A and the A/A32H-4 cargo handling systems—or the "Dash 1 A" and "Dash 4" systems—presently being used by the United States Armed Forces and many allied countries.

Simply, the new system attaches directly to the aircraft fuselage

by the use of standard aircraft bolts. All of the cross members are now removed from the restraint rails and there are no obstructions on the treadways except for the roller conveyors. And, these can be quickly and easily removed and replaced.

As mentioned, the restraint rails of the Dash 4A are attached directly to the aircraft structure, rather than to the cargo tie-down rings with a cross member and conical washer system. It is now a semi-permanent installation and makes available the 5,000 and 1 0,000 pound tie-down rings for unpalletized cargo.

The outboard roller conveyors are now separate from the restraint rails. This allows both outboard and inboard conveyors to be attached and detached to the aircraft floor using newly designed and installed seat studs. So that the seats can now be lowered and used even with a full plane load of palletized cargo, new seat studs are mounted on the restraint rails.

In addition to these basic changes and improvements, the new Dash 4A System also features an increase in the ramp capacity for the without exceeding restraint of palletized cargo to 5,000 pounds the structural limits of the ramp.

All in all, this new system, compared with the previous and present through conversion of the systems, provides operational readiness in a matter of minutes instead of hours. plane's interior The Dash 4A System permits reliable, fast and safe operations in normal cargo handling and in the airdrop of materials. It incorporates restraint and allows for semi-automatic release of the standard airdrop platform and 463-L type cargo handling pallets. The entire weight of the system is under 1,875 lbs. *The Dash 4A System is covered by patents in the U.S. and other countries. structure
