"I am of the opinion that the Cadet Wing is on the correct course. By that I mean that within the prudent bounds of the training situation, cadet leaders must be provided the opportunity to exercise command authority."

"The Cadet who performs to his capabilities in academics, military training and athletics is training himself for very tough future assignments. He will, most likely, be a superior commissioned officer."

We Are Training Future Officers"

"Zestful intellectual challenge must be combined with a strict sense of duty, self-discipline and obedience to authority."

"Failure to follow regulations usually signifies a lack of discipline. Hanging such a label on this institution would be a breach of faith with our nation an abandonment of the trust and confidence placed in us."

The Commandant's Staff

The Commandant's Staff administers the leadership and military training programs which include command of the Cadet Wing, instruction in military and airmanship courses, and supervision of cadet life activities.

Training in command and staff functions within the Cadet Wing affords opportunities for cadets to practice leadership techniques and to develop traits of character and discipline through responsibility.

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.

Soaring

Cadets are introduced to flying through various programs conducted during their four years at USAFA. The indoctrination begins with orientation flights given by instructors in the T-33. Senior cadets, who are physically qualified, enter the light-plane program for 26 1/2 hours in the T-41.

'Tour Of The Most Important Years

As one of the nation's service academies, USAFA is a distinctive institution. The Academy provides an outstanding undergraduate education, along 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 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 ofthe 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.

Polaris: We feel thatthe graduate program is one of the means of measuring the quality of an education. How do the Academy's graduates compare with the graduates of other institutions?

Dean of the Faculty: As you know we have had a policy of sending graduates of the Academy directly to graduate school in several areas: scholarship programs, medical school, law school and cooperative masters degree programs. They competed very favorably with other students. To answer your question, Academy graduates have done very well academically in graduate schools.

Polaris: Would you care to comment on the blue chip program versus the co-operative 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

“We feel that our programs here are evolutionary rather than revolutionary.”

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, we have over the years developed the enrichment program, 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 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 program was totally prescribed in meeting the Air Force needs for broadly 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 requirement. Most graduates go to flying school; this was

General Woodyard frequently meets with his staff. In conference with him here are Colonels Lochry, Geffen, Taylor, Kineven, Rosser and Yeoman.

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 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 tarnished.

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 documentwhich 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 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?

Dean: In the early days of the Academy, curriculum 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,

there could be some room for pass-fail courses but, see no advantages .”

we are dealing with four of the most important years of your life and that is a very great responsibility and challenge to us.”

we must exercise a great deal of care in developing our curriculum. We are now evaluating some of the programs that have 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 ofthe 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 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.

Supporting The Education

The mission of the Academy Library is to support the academic research, and recreational programs of the Academy. The Library also houses material which supports all the operating agencies at the Academy. The book collection contains more than 300,000 volumes with extensive collections in the curricula areas of the academic program, along with special historical and research collections in the fields of military and aviation history.

The Library receives more than 100 newspapers, including at least one daily paper from every state. The Library's reference collection, in addition to covering standard reference works in major subject areas, also ineludes strong bibliography collections

for the identification of research

resources that are not in the collections of the Library. Large amounts of scientific and technical literature are also maintained on microfilm.

The Library is a selective depository for the U.S. Government publications, and maintains collections of official records of the United Nations and other international agency documents. The audio collections include over 3000 records and tapes covering music, poetry, plays, speeches, and oral history materials.

An excellent staff of experienced, professional librarians is responsible for the operation of the Library. Professional reference librarians aid patrons and cadets in finding research material for papers and reports. New cadets are given an orientation covering the Library's facilities and services.

"I am your representative to the Dean but my job goes farther than that The Wing Academic Officer - 1972-73

“Two of the most successful and important accomplishments this year were the third-class The outlook for the newly established Wing Academic Officer position is optimistic. majors briefings and the upperclass survey."

One of the most recent and important 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

of their questions pertaining to the various major programs to be answered at one time. The success 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 reviews and/or papers should be limited to two per day, 3) A Cadet with an A in a course should be excused from taking that course final. As these suggestions are based on carefully collected data and not mere rumor, the outlook for their implementation is hopeful.

However, the Wing Academic Officer has had less 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 andlow ranges of pass and fail.

Cadet Rampulla's outlook for the future is optimistic. With the role of the Wing Academic Officer successfully established, his successor will have more time to work with the Squadron Academic Officers. Closer cooperation with them and the various departments will permit easier resolution of general academic problems. Continued cooperation with the Dean and his staff will also enablethe Wing's Academic grievances to be satisfactorily resolved.

This year was a year of establishing a foundation. One of the biggest tasks was to establish credibility for the position.

The core is our biggest question-are its advantages worth all of its faults. It is justified to us, but not always accepted. But then time and experience may temper our acceptance. Albert Einstein said, “The school should always have as its aim that the young man leave it as a harmonious personality, not a specialist. This in my opinion is true to a certain sense even for technical schools... the development of a general ability for independent thinking and judgement should always be placed foremost, not the acquisition of special knowledge.”

This is the year that made you wonder. You often thinkthat Charles Dickens had the third class core in mind when he said “...a spattering, of everything and a knowledge of nothing”. You didn't realize that it took so much core to make you a “whole man”. With out recognition, cars and rings, or graduation to look forward to, the year became endless. But still, the apprehension of the future kindled some hope and you kept trying on those computer programs and math quizzes.

Ambition, Curiosity, Doubt

The Accumulation Of Knowledge

This is the year that went fast. The excitement of study in our new major's field gave way to the excitement of cars and you wonder how you ever made it through those finals. They must have been crazy when they told you that academics was downhill after your third class year. The competition in your major proved that the piranhas you called classmates really meant business in vying for that co-op slot. But then you decided that grad school wasn’t the right thing for you and you would just concentrate on graduating. Still, graduating was one long year away.

What seemed at the beginning an eternity, now in retrospect feels as a second-a dream in which exists not only regrets in not having tried harder, but also pride for our achievements. In the beginning, the core lead us to avenues of interest in which we chose a field, worked hard, and now hope that it proves to be a good rock on which to base our future life. But as we take this knowledge out in the world do not proclaim it merely to show others that you have it, but learn to use it wisely - to promote peace and to lead. “For leadership and learning are indispensible to each other."-JFK

The Laying Of The Foundation Core In The Fourthclass Year

Foreign Languages are being transitioned into the fourthclass core. The department offers modern language laboratories as teaching techniques for better overall understanding.

Perhaps the thing you look forward to most as a basic cadet, next to Parent's Weekend of course, is the start of academics. What could be worse than those goon runs, the Assault Course, and the shower parties? But it's not too long a time, around December and January, until the pressures of BCT seem insignificant compared to the demands academics place on you. You try and get accustomed to the daily quizzes in Math, the cigar-chomping, firebreathing Chem instructors, the frustrating problems in Mech and last, but not least, that natural childbirth movie in Life Science. Your neck suffers acute whiplash as you try to stay awake in English, because you just haven't quite learned how to "budget your time." Huck Finn and qualitative analysis, integration and vector addition, you've seen some of it before,

but never so much so fast. Then the CStore starts issuing stereos and things become impossible as Pioneer, Garrard, and Dual lay waste to Sienko and Plane, and Protter and Morrey. As the year draws to a close, even though the research papers and themes you kissed off for a month have caught up with you, things begin to fall into place. You've learned how to get all of your work done (well, most of it anyway) and still get a good night's sleep. You've learned everything you should have learned in high school but didn't and some new things too. You've learned about the Air Force and how to be a cadet. Most of all though, you've learned about yourself, your strengths and your weaknesses and are ready to meet the greater challenges of being a thirdclassman.

The importance of education is inscribed on our Eagle and Fledglings. This knowledge begins here with the fourthclass core and continues to the specialization of the firstclass studies.

The Sophomores Continuing The Basic Courses

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 uncommon occurrence for thirdclassmen 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.

Midway through the second semester, the thirdclassmen are required to declare their majors. They

are able to choose from 33 different majors ranging from the Humanities and History to such technical areas as Physics and Astronautics. There is little change in the schedules of the thirdclassmen during second semester. The emphasis is still placed on the core and the competition in classes becomes keener as cadets attempt to do well in their newly declared majors. Thirdclassmen are still required to spend hours studying, not only on weeknights, but also on weekends. It is no wonder that thirdclassmen look to the second class year for relief from the academic pressures that they have encountered in their second year at the academy.

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.

Geography 120 is a core course taken by all thirdclassmen. Dave Anhalt reviews his lesson.

Mathematics is continued in the sophomore year. Captain Ham (above) instructs his class in Math 112. (right) Major Vallaescusa gives some personal help in Physics 211 to Cadet Phil Pearce, (far right) Law 200 is taken in the thirdclass year. Cadet Mike Banker and others wait for the class to begin. Political Science adds to the social science part of the core curriculum.

A Step Towards Specialization

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

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

The Firstclass Year Majors

On Which To Build A Career

Firstclass year can be considered the keystone of a cadet's undergraduate education. He is now ready to build upon what he has learned in his three previous years of study as an undergraduate. The foundation has already been laid and the cadet can now specialize within his major. Competition becomes intense as various individuals prepare themselves for graduate school, law school, medical school, and for Rhodes Scholarships. Also, for the first time since fourthclass year, the cadet does not have to take seven courses per semester, but is allowed to underload and take only six during one of his last two semesters.

Of course, there are several core courses, namely Law 400 and Astronautics 332, however these

courses seem to take less time than did previous core courses. A popular course among firstclassmen is Airmanship 400, or, as it is commonly called, T-41. This course gives cadets their first Air Force flight training in the T-41.

Completion of firstclass year marks the end of the cadet's undergraduate academic training. In his four years at the academy, the cadet has accumulated over 180 hours of academic credit both in the classroom and in the field during the summer. The graduated second Lieutenant is the product of one of the finest undergraduate educational programs in the United States today and is a member of the finest organization in the world, the U. S. Air Force.

The pre-med area of Life Sciences is a popular field with tough competition. Cadets Bob Munson, Marc Fritz, and Abe Abraham take this anatomy course for the requirement.

Independent study shows the student to make practical applications of their studies to a real problem or project. Here Cadet Drew Smith works on his project with the help of instructor.

To Support The Academic Mission DFIT

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 center" for visual material includes graphic layouts, art, typography, still 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.

In addition, two courses are taught to fourthclassmen through I.T.—Academic skills and typing. To aid the student in preparing his class presentations, I.T. offers a self help room. If a cadet has a large project, he can receive aid from an I.T. artist and accomplish his major project through a work order.

Seiler Research Laboratory Knowledge Through Research

The Frank J. Seiler 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.

Faculty In Perspective

Last year, a woman was added to the Academy faculty for the first time. This year, another such addition was made to the instructor corps. The new addition is Captain Joanne C. Veverka, now a member of the department of geography.

After graduating from the University of Miami with a Bachelors degree in geography, Captain Veverka attended the University of Texas in pursuit of her Masters degree. She later received her Masters from Louisiana State University after writing her dissertation there. In addition, she also possesses minors in Spanish, resources, and anthropology. When asked to compare the education received by cadets here to that

Captain Joanne Veverka

"Develop The Man For Challenge'

available at civilian institutions, Captain Veverka replied, "I think you're getting an excellent education. You're getting a lot of good people to teach you." She also remarked that the instructors here are all comparatively young. Therefore, there are no elderly instructors here who are out of touch, but rather, instructors who are "on top of things."

A CAP cadet at age 15, Captain Veverka soloed at age 16. She later enlisted in the Air Force. She received her commission in 1960 through the Outstanding Airman Commissioning Program, and she has spent a total of 21 years in the Air Force; 11 of those being in active duty. Her list of assignments range from an Ad

ministrative Officer to Photo Reconnaissance. Commenting on the Academy itself, she said, "I think it's great! I just feel bad that I couldn't have gone when I was the right age."

Girls at USAFA is a topic of great current interest. When asked what she thought about girls coming to the Academy, Captain Veverka replied, "Great!". She also states that, "Academically, the girls are going to make the guys shape up." In reply to the question of whether or not a lot of girls would come, she stated, "I think a lot of a certain type girl I think the ones that get here are going to want to come."

To Broaden The View Sqdn Ldr Rodgerson

A BRITISH POINT OF VIEW

"I think a professional officer is one who has decided that the job of serving his country in the armed forces is a worthwhile job and one that he wants to give a major part of his life to." This is the feeling of Squadron Leader Rodgerson, exchange professor from the Royal Airforce now working with the Department of Political Science here at the Air Force Academy.

Squadron Leader Rodgerson sports an impressive career in the field of education during his service as an officer. A former student of Oxford University, he spent his first two years of military service as a national serviceman. He then left the service to work in a personnel role for the Atomic Energy Commission. After a year and a half in this position the RAF once again became his calling. Just as in his first two years of service, Squadron Leader Rodgerson served as a member of the RAF's Educational Branch. He worked as a faculty member at the RAF Technical College for approximately two years until its merger with Cranwell in 1965. From 1965 through 1971 he served as a member of the Cranwell staff teaching a variety of subjects in the liberal arts area. Before coming to the Air Force Academy he had advanced to become the head of the English Department at Cranwell.

In contrasting Cranwell to the Air Force Academy, he pointed out some of the features of the RAF Academy's present mode of education. Cranwell recruits its students from newly graduated university scholars. The training program includes three months of academics centered on military subjects followed by nine months of technical training encompassing flying, administrative, and engineering studies.

Comparing the American officer to the British officer, Squadron Leader Rodgerson sees no real differences in attitude or professional standing but he does note that, "the junior officers in the United States Air Force may well not have a career in mind." He goes on to explain that most officers in the RAF have, at least, a sixteen year commitment to military service. As a result Squadron Leader Rodgerson believes that a young British officer may be more motivated toward a career in the military.

Colonel Owens of the Management department is interested in the future of cadets at the Academy and grads in the real Air Force. He has been associated with cadets for the past seven years, grads at UCLA and cadets here, and has seen some of the problems which they encounter.

Colonel Owens enlisted in the Air Force in 1951. He taught electronics at Keesler AFB until he attended OCS. He graduated from OCS in 1953 and later obtained a Master's Degree in Vestral Psychology at Purdue University a Doctorate at UCLA. He has served overseas in Taiwan in addition to the many stateside locations.

One of the primary problems he is concerned with here at the Academy is attrition. After completing and publishing a study on the subject he concluded:

Lt Col Owens With Whom

The Students Can Communicate

"The majority of the cadets who disenroll said that before they came here they had neither sufficient nor accurate information about the Academy while the overwhelming majority of those who stay said they had either sufficient or accurate information. This shows a correlation between information received and attrition."

Colonel Owens was both encouraged and discouraged by cadet attitude:

"There are a lot of cadets eager to work within the system on problems in the system and I think we ought to use them. Unfortunately, the tendency is to view cadet inputs as suspect, for there are a large number of cadets who would like change for the sake of change. One example of this is cadets trying to change to a pass-fail system. For courses such as Phys Ed the passfail system is fine, but the present system serves as both a motivating factor and a way to rate achievement in the course."

When questioned about the core courses, Colonel Owens replied that he saw value to them. For instance he felt that every officer should be polished in writing and speaking.

He also felt that management \ courses would play a larger role in the Academy curriculum in the future.

"While every cadet will not be required to use physics or mech, he will be required to be, in some degree, a manager; and at present there are no management courses in the core curriculum which could provide this basis."

The Falcons came up with a balanced performance against Wyoming. Air Force had 207 yards on the ground and 220 in the air, building a 21-0 advantage before the Cowboys got on thescoreboard. The Falcon defense, a question mark entering the game, held Wyoming to only

192 yards and played aggressive football all afternoon, junior linebacker Jim Morris sparked the defenders, intercepting a pass in the opening quarter and returning it 30 yards for a touchdown.

AF 41 PITT 13

The Falcons were 2-0 after scoring four touchdowns in the second half to down Pittsburgh 41-13 at Falcon Stadium. Another good offensive day, Big Blue rolled up 407 yards including 260 on the ground, but the defense turned over the ball to the offensive seven times, five fumble recoveries and two pass interceptions, junior rover Steve HeiI of Gering, Neb., had his finest day as a Falcon, setting a school record by recovering three fumbles and returning a pass interception 15 yards. If that wasn't enough, he also figured in nine tackles, including seven of the unassisted variety.

AF 68 Davidson 6

The Falcons improved their record to 3-0 by defeating Davidson, 68-6, in the second highest scoring game in school history. Air Force set several school records in the contest, including a mark of 623 yards total offense, ineluding 426 rushing. Ten different players scored for the Falcons who had a 28-0 lead after three quarters. The leading groundgainer was junior fullback Bill Berry who had his best day as a Falcon by gaining 149 yards in 20 carries and scoring twice.

AF 52 C.S.U. 13

Air Force came up with another excellent all-around effort against the Rams, who tied the game at 7-7 early in the second period before the Falcons went ahead to stay. Offensively, the Falcons gained 439 yards, including 270 rushing, while the Falcon defense held the Rams to only 67 yards on the ground. As has been the case in the other Falcon victories this fall, junior quarterback Rich FJaynie and senior tailback Joel Carlson played prominent roles. It was the third straight week a different member of the Falcon backfield rushed for more than 100 yards in a game. Carlson and Berry had 100 yard games in previous weeks.

Air Force turned in a sterling defensive effort to turn back the fired up Eagles from Boston College. The Falcons went ahead 13-0 in the second period before the Eagles struck for nine quick points on a touchdown and a field goal. The second half was a defensive struggle with the Falcon defenders stopping B.C. drives several times deep in Air Force territory.

Middies Take First Win Since 1960

It was the Middies first appearance in Colorado since 1966 and the Falcons saw their winning streak snapped at five straight when they fell to service foe Navy, 21-17. It was a typical interservice game with Air Force going ahead 10-0 in the second period but falling behind 14-10 in the third quarter. The Falcons, went ahead 17-14 in the fourth quarter but Navy scored with 31 seconds left. Falcon quarterback Rich Haynie neared the 1,000 yard total offense mark gaining 201 yards, including 172 passing.

AF 39 A.S.U. 31

Air Force had one of its top offensive displays of the season against the Sun Devils, the nation's top offensive team entering the game. The Falcons not only came out on top in the scoring department but also had the advantage in the yardage department, rolling up 481 yards to the Sun Devils 344. Passing was the key weapon for the Falcons, but plenty of credit also goes to the Falcon defense, which slowed up the Sun Devils, the nation's fastest team.

AF 14 Army 17

The Falcons fell to a 6-2 record when they were upset by Army on the road, 17-14. It was the first time the Cadets from the Hudson have defeated the Falcons in five years. The Falcons sustained their first serious injury of the fall against Army when junior starting offensive guard Lance Webb suffered a broken left leg.

Notre Dame

Rich Haynie led the Falcons in both rushing and passing against Notre Dame. Haynie was the team's top rusher with 95 yards on 12 carries, including a 52 yard run that set up the Falcons' only score.

The Falcon defense had another good game, holding Notre Dame's usually high-powered offense to 286 yards.

Finishing the season at 6-4 after falling 38-7 to Colorado, the Falcons played one of the roughest schedules in their history and met three teams that were bowl bound. Air Force scored the second highest number of points in school history with 303 and had the third best scoring average at 30.3. They scored the third highest number of touchdowns (40) and rolled up the second highest yardage total (3,782).

Soccer

Coach Hank Eichin's soccer team completed another successful season with a 7-4-1 mark, their fifth consecutive winning season.

The Falcons also captured the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League crown with a 4-0-1 slate and were invited to the NCAA Midwest Regionals, where they lost a 3-2 contest to Ohio U. in the first round.

Len Salvemini was the big gun on attack, scoring 17 goals and four assists for 21 points.

Highlight of the year came on Oct. 14 when the Falcons blanked 11thranked Navy, 3-0, with Salvemini scoring twice.

Two of the team’s outstanding players (Left) Len Salvemini who was named All-American and the leading scorer and (Right) Dave Muckley the team captain.

Cross-Country

Endurance, determination, and dedication are words which every cross-country runner comes to learn because they are all part of that sport. Without these traits a runner could not succeed. The Falcon runners exhibited theirs as they compiled a winning record.

Water Polo

A second straight winning season and some outstanding individual performances were the highlights of this year's water polo team.

The Falcons of Coach Paul Aehnlich posted a 13 - 10 record and participated in the NCAA District Playoffs where they lost to eventual champion New Mexico, 12 - 9.

For the second straight year, Ben Phillips (left) led the team in scoring with 120 goals and 25 assists for 145 points.

Hockey

''Lots of overtime"

Cadets Dave Skalko and Steve Mulvain set individual school records as the Air Force Academy Ice Ftockey team closed the 72-73 season with 16 victories and 16 defeats. Skalko ended his playing career at Air Force with most career assists, 144, and moved into ninth place on the all time collegiate scoring list by posting 219 career points, a Falcon high. Another individual mark was set on February 2nd when the Falcons blanked Gustavos-Adolphus 7 to 0. The triumph was the 351st career victory for Coach Vic HeyIiger and boosted him into third place on the all time collegiate coaches victory list.

Helping head coach Vic Heyliger (left) become the third winningest coach in collegiate hockey were Cadets Dave Bunker, (upper left) Dave Skalko, (center) and Steve Mullvain (right)

Basketball

A 14-10 record and one of the best defenses in the nation highlighted a most successful Air Force Academy basketball season.

The 14-10 record was not only the first winning Falcon basketball campaign in seven years but was the best season mark since the 1961-62 Falcons posted a 16-7 record. In his second season at the Air Force Academy, coach Hank Egan molded his team into a tough defensive unit. Air Force was ranked fourth in the national major college defensive statistics at the end of the season with a final average of 59.2 points per game.

The Falcons opened the season slow, dropping three of their first four games. But then Air Force caught fire and ran off seven consecutive wins ending up that streak with a big 66-55 verdict over Navy at the Cadet Field House. Also included in the streak was the winning of the Evansville Holiday Classic. This was the first tournament win in the history of Air Force Academy basketball. The second half of the season saw the Falcons lose their early season form until they rebounded by taking their last three games, including an impressive 64-57 victory over Denver in the season's finale.

The senior trio of Tom Blase, Mark Engelbretson and Steve Gast proved the value of experience. Team captain Blase was the second leading scorer with 297 points and a 12.4 average placing him eighth on the Falcon career scoring list. He also finished second on the career free-throwing list. Mark Englebretson

finished the season second in both field goal and free-throw percentage while Steve Gast was third in rebounding.

Junior Rich Nickelson, the team's Most Valuable Player, was the top scorer with 393 points and a 16.4 average. He was the high scorer in fifteen games ineluding a career high 32 points against Southern Colorado State. Sophomore Jim Eken was the teams leading rebounder out-dualing the opposition 160 times. Clutch performances were also turned in by Dave Sams, Jeff Graves, and Mike Sevier.

Great teamwork combined with strong individual performances highlighted the outstanding season and proved that the Air Force Academy basketball team is one that the opposition couid not take lightly.

Rifle-Pistoi

The Falcon rifle and pistol squads ended their seasons with identical records of nine wins and just two losses.

The Air Force pistol team has been the most honored of all 18 Academy varsity sports. A total of 47 All-America honors have been awarded to 31 different Falcon marksmen. This marked the 12th straight year at least one cadet has earned All-America pistol recognition.

Florace George coached the pistol team and Dave Iverson was rifle mentor.

Gymnastics

Despite a deceiving 4-3 dual meet record, coach Karl Schwenzfeier's gymnastics team appeared to be the school's best ever.

The Falcons captured the NCAA Western Independent Championships and placed seventh in the nationals. John Tomich took All-America honors in the vaulting competition in the national championships.

High point of the season came on Feb. 24 when the team lost to Colorado State, yet set a team scoring record of 161.30. The team also scored 160 points in defeating service rival Army.

Swimmin

An undefeated season, including victories over national power Long Beach State and area rival Colorado State, were the highlights of the season.

Under Coach Paul Arata, the team compiled a 120 dual-meet record while diver Rick McAlister went undefeated in dual-meet competition and placed sixth in the three-meter competition and placed sixth in the three-meter event in the national championships to earn All-America honors.

Wrestling

Led by team captain Jim Callard, the Air Force wrestling squad won its last three dual meets of the season to earn a winning 5-4 record. The Falcons came from behind in all three final meets to defeat Wyoming, Arizona and Utah State to claim the winning season.

Callard posted a 19-1 mark in the 150-pound class and lost his only match in the NCAA championships.

Freshman Steve Campbell (167), who also competed in the NCAA meet, posted a 16-4 record and was considered by coach Karl Kitt to be one of the best freshman wrestlers in Academy history.

Fencing

A ninth straight Western collegiate title and a 10-3 record marked anotherexcellent season for coach Nick Toth's fencers. Top competitors for the Falcons were Billy Dillard in sabre, Kirby Knox in foil and Mike Turner and Terry Clemens in epee.

Coach Gene Miranda's golf squad marched through nineconsecutive foes at the end of the season to wind up with an outstanding 20-1 record.

Kevin Bench paced the squad with a 74.5 stroke average while team captain Chris Young averaged 76.2. Miranda ended his two year varsity coaching career at Air Force with a record of 37 victories and just two losses.

Track

Lacrosse

Coach Jim Keating's lacrosse squad proved tough when it had to be and the Falcons captured the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League championship with a league record of 8-1. The squad was 11-3 overall. Four players made the league all-star team including goalie Bob Schineller, defenseman John Muse, midfielder Bob Brenton and attackman Ed Mcllhenny. Robin Morgan was top point producer for the Falcons with 35 goals and 39 assists for 74 points.

Baseball

Despite numerous injuries and an inexperienced team, the Falcon baseball team finished with a 1312 record, its first winning season since 1970.

Coach Joe Robinson's top pitcher for the campaign was right-hander Larry Bryant, who split six decisions and had a 3.52 earned run average. Top hitter on the team was freshman Jeff Brown. He paced the squad in average (.354), runs batted in (22), hits (29), stolen bases (9), total bases (58) and slugging percentage (.707).

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 AOC, Major John K. Sloan II. As 73 and 74 will affirm, problems were few in the transition. Intramurals and 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 fortheir "Hairy Buffalo" parties, they should have no 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 four winds.

In keeping with that tradition of the swingin' 50's we return to those yearbook gags in bidding a fond farewell 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 a training officer?

Does 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 come in at the C-Store?

Did Dave ever really love Chris?

Was Linda just one of Scott's investments?

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.

SECOND SQUADRON POLARIS REPORT

TWO, Proud! And you? Apparently so. Each class contributed to the merits of Tuff Two. The Firsties led in grades. The Second class averaged 340 on the PFT. 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" by Max Zit and Raybaggers.

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 television 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!"

Whenthe day of drinking of wine was at hand, then didst the wrath of the Dorm become terrible and there was moaning and gnashing ofteeth.

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 and no more did the squadron march upon the meal, noon, one each.

And for forty days didthe 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 didthe 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 I," said Wilfred the Great, "For I have no Chariot."

"Not I," said Thomas the Trainer. "Not I," said the Ace.

"Not I," said Vincent of Parsojo, "For my heart is heavy and my wheels turn not."

"Not I," said Cottrelovitch, "And thou canst restrict me, for I am a lizard, and doing nothing anyway."

"Not I," said Ead Wine, "For I am stricken of Figmo and soon to pass."

"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 didstthe 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 squadrons in the Wing, Thirsty Third is one of them.

Squadron Nickname Fightin' Fourth

4ths Believe it or not or

Taies of Gods and Heroes

The only man to ever successfully execute a slalom run in a car was Jazz

The course consisted of the light poles on Academy Blvd.

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

How right you were Bur, maybe someday they'll find out what's wrong, but in the meantime keep on supporting 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 chattering.

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 to match 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 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 a trip to Washington. The football season had begun in fine fashion and USAFA was headed for a sure bowl vietory. 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 cheeredthe 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 Missing 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 parties. It was rumored that Captain (B)2 had a terrible struggle with his shirt while swimming at one of these social 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 no reflection on the caliber of academic officer employed, because, of course, they have all been of 73! Spring being one of the better seasons for sports in 5th 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 on his Vette already (no one's sure if that includes his trip home for pineapples). Kevin wishes he hadn't given up his pistol and Little Buck doesn't even claim to have grown in 4 years.

Squadron Nickname

Bull Six

What can one say about a "Six Pack?" Since variety was our biggest asset, each member of the squadron had his own view of the past year. It would do an injustice to each to try to incorporate all the diversified viewpoints into one brief epitaph. Did I say epitaph? We all know "Six Pack" IS, WAS, and FOREVER SHALL BE. SO to each his own

Squadron Nickname Seagram's Seven

Faint recollections yes, I think remember. Everything, coming in sharp contrasts of dimmingdouble-time, too slow for reality, too fast for thought. I can't stop the timeless time telling hands of the silly faced clock. Wait was it really true?

Once familiar faces flash by, followed by oncefamiliar names. There are stiff-backed, poker-faced youths, and older uniformed aiguilettes, and still older faces filled with automotive anticipation, and finally, those exhausted faces brightened by gold bars. But they are all the same people, the same faces. Was it really true? And what of the quiet voice that mumbles delerium in my mind. Was there really a form of lank and lean behind it?

Yes, I'm sure there was a time when my shadowed recollections were all too animated reality. And the whispery voices loud and significant. I remember, now, everything—the hopes, the dreams, the stark reality, the defeats and the victories, the good and the bad, the laughter and the tears. It's all a part of me for better or worse; Ah but mostly this was a time I shall never forget.

Squadron Nickname

Evil Eight

Evil Eight produced twenty new officers for the Air Force this year. As Major Lawrence left us for an AFIT Masters, Captain J. D. Manning, Jr., took over as our AOC. He is the third consecutive '64 graduate to be the Evil AOC, and we are beginning to wonder what the attraction is. We had decided to wrest the Malanaphy Trophy away from 7th, our neighbor to the north, and we almost succeeded; it was a close contest nearly the whole year, until the Spring syndrome hit. The football team took the Wing Championship by beating 34th in the Field House, while the basketball team lost several close ones. Steve Sexton left us on a medical discharge, while Bob Knarr continued to be an honorary member after his transfer to 3rd. Cadets Radov, Drake, and Womack commanded during the three make lists, with some problems and a great deal of learning. Evil salutes its men from the Class of 73 and wishes them "Good hunting."

Squadron Nickname

Nooky Niner

The Wing is back, the Wing is back! DOD save the Wing! (Somebody has to!) But don't worry, Nookie's got things under control. What's this? Complications? That proverbial fly in the ointment? Okay, who'sthe rooky with the rail road tracks? A new AOC? (Oh, I see.) No sweat, gang, we can handle him, but what about his sidekick? (Is he really wearing GREEN?) We've got our work cut out for us, Niners. You take the ball, Bill, while we get these new guys squared away, while we get these new guys squared away.

And so, amid a hail of textbooks and barber shears, the first of three go'rounds starts going in circles. Now don't let Ol' Bill fool you. Hidden beneath that placid exterior is a well a placid interior.

The fourthclassmen wonder why they all haven't been promoted to generals yet, the thirdclassmen rest assured of the fact that they are generals as the secondclassmen trip over their own feet and watch the firsties count days. Things are quiet in Nookie's nook—so quiet in fact that not a creature is stirring when, on a gray day in November, finally convinced that the entire squadron had fallen asleep four months before, "The Stump" makes his move. Walking in under the squadron commander's door, he takes the bull by the tail, looks the situation straight in the face and sets up housekeeping.

Gordie calls a huddle, the staff lines up, the ball is snapped! It's just a faint, red blurr, folks! Four feet three inches of super-human power, burning up the terazzo! He's broken his tackles, he's in the everclear!! What's this? He's going to kick it!

POONK!

Wide and to the left. Tough luck, Champ.

Go get the ball, Wriz. That's it, yeah, almost like rugger—plenty of hitting, and all the blood you can stand. Who knows, if you're real good, maybe you can get the other side of your head kicked in!

Damn the wire hangers! Lock all doors and full speed astern! (An occasional one-eighty keeps the guys on their toes.) Your sights are set high, Wriz, but we're right behind you (as long as you stay out in front, of course). No sweat, Wriz, we'll have everything straightened out by May?

Yes, gentlemen, the year has run its cycle and Niners have prevailed. And so, as the sun sinks slowly into the beaver ponds, and the denouement of USAFA 73 kindles the horizon, DOD's ever-patient Doolies expect their first stars in the mail any day now, the three degrees plan their retirements, the second-rates go bare foot, and (as always) Skipper prays for second-louie cars.

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 adventures 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: Though waterlogged after swim meets in the SW natorium, our thanks for studying harder, and your coverage/competence (?) at the CQ desk.

To 76: Thanks for the spirit

We're all Tigers .Hazzah!

Summer's over, to your marks the gun marks a false start. Ranft, R.j., Ernie, F. Betts, G.W. are over the horizon. Oh, Ernie! The barber is M.I.A. (up to 15, D.O.A?) Heavy Al 'vators up four floors. The altitude'll get you every time. Low Profile takes another High Leap. "Old Man", out of retirement to lead. Poor Charlie, "Operations" at both ends. Lacrosse, "Z" finally bags a game in the black. Foo-baw, good coaching, C.D. V.W. in the dorms? A 100 hp. weight room.

Rebeieven Min-lt Men. PFT and mile and a half. A breath saved is a breath earned. The mystery Keg of Foam strikes D&W Enterprises. So much for liquid assets. Opie, Dif, Yan, and Stu, Head and Shoulders, oh where do you go? Early 2° cars? Steve and Dif lighten the Dark Ages with a pinch of discretion. For Bakes, a plastic car under the Xmas tree. Pure Ecstasy. Schief leads to the left. missed again, you could try snaring one. Sinatra? Bonano? It's Hawk! The glasses fooled us. Scu! plays pick-up stix with his arms. P.J., J.T., USAFA Hertz office. Cakes and Ned David and Goliath, the bigger they are, the harder they fall, or the smaller they are, the higher they bounce. The Cosell twins. Opie, invisible man at hockey practice. It's a long slap shot from the rack. B.G., happiness is an updated safety sticker. Denny, kind and generous free spirit.

J.T. and Bakes run the final lap. "Old Man" and Diane (It's Never Too Late), P.J. and Joyce, Bruce and Nancy, Charley and Terry. It's intuitively obvious to even the most casual observer. Good luck and a good life.

And so REBELEVEN streaks through another year.

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 himselfwhat 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 Air 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.

Cobras

INTRODUCTION:

In a world devastated by destruction, an animal will emerge King. This animal will have the power to overcome all obstacles, the knowledge to understand what blocks it's path, the sense to avoid the problem, and still have the ability to hold it's head high. When this animal confronts his enemy, he strikes head first, hard, and so fast that the victim wouldn't have time to think twice about what he has started. This grand animal is the COBRA.

And so it was that COBRA 14 went into the fires of USAF. Not knowing what to expect, the COBRAS moved in and started doing a job. They really took care of business in that King COBRA STYLE. The results of their efforts can be expressed in four words: THE FIRE WENT OUT III!

It was a hot, August day, as recall

When the Snakes returned to face the fall.

The year went smoothly—sometimes—indeed

As the 14'ers discovered their inner need.

Those who had lasted four years are below

With few of their deeds left to know:

Boxing and hasseling were traits for the BULL, His task to graduate kept his hands full.

Soccer and squash and marriage in his eyes, ROY bought a Vega to help keep his disguise.

Up from the dungeons to bless us was CHRIS

Who found that our life was much less than bliss.

Off went BIG JOHN with eyes to fly and fight

But pick-ups and graduation were more in his sight.

Dapper RAP blessed us with his verbose attacks

But true anger is something that he always lacks.

Swimming away in his handy-dandy racing suit, MICHAEL R played Charlie with a rousing hoot.

He liked playing ghost to foil those in charge, SHAFE kept us all honest and not at large.

MAC was his name and management the game, Golf and skydiving kept his excuses lame.

A new nickname was his thanks for his job

As DAVIE fought away the growling,howling mob.

LARRY faced us with his grandfatherly gaze, Rescuing us often from our frivolous days.

Always thinking of Hawaii and girls and girls, KEITH did his homework and fought the curls.

Bridge led to Yahtzee for our dancing DEAN, Mitches and snacking did not keep him lean.

With a plush suite and a passle of headaches, RATSO deserted us with a series of fakes.

As graduation got nearer, our friend LITTLE RICKY

Discovered just how girls could make life sticky.

WIG was another fortunate refugee from below

And showed us how our ways were much too slow.

Oblivious to all and impervious to any pain, DREW read, recorded, and somehow stayed sane.

Finding himself when he moved to the Rathole, TOM found a million things eating at his soul.

On his way to be an officer, there appeared Med school for BOB, something we all feared.

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 leftthe 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 leadership ability by taking 17th in the Wing.

Dinings-ln and Beer Calls were the "In" thing this year. We started with plans for a dining-in every month but ended up with a slightly less ambitious record of one every two months. The best of these was held at the Stockyards Inn.

The Squadron also acquired a new sponsor, the Oklahoma City Air Material Area at Tinker Air Force Base. After hosting our sponsors at one of the hockey games, we were treated to a fantastic time when they returned the favor and hosted the Squadron during the first weekend in April. Knowing the desires of cadets, they arranged for a great party which even included good looking girls (really)!

Now the year is almost over and the Second Class is waiting for its cars and rings, while the Firsties count off the last few remaining days. In four years we all learn a lot and endure a lot—but now it's about over. Let's hope the R.A.F. is ready for the class of 73—because we're sure ready for it.

On the corner of the street, We were rough and ready guys; But, oh, how we could harmonize.

Heart of my heart, Meant friends were dearer then.

Too bad we had to part.

I know a tear would glisten (ping!), If once more I could listen

To that Gang that sang

Heart of my Heart; Heart of my Heart. because we were all in this together.

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 two 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 in 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 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 restores your faith in blind luck. The second semester began with our trip to the inauguration ("it's falling into our laps") falling on through altogether. Can't win 'em all. On top of that, we had to "march with our orders" to the tune of an all too familiar drummer. Oh well, how many days left?

Many unanswered questions remain from the year; such as:

When will Spaceship Meach give us the number to his phone booth?

Can Petey land a job as test driver for Willy's Jeep?

Can Velocity Gulasity's black "Vette break Mach?

Who will be L. Richard Forrester's next conquest?

Won't some Philly team win something for Stu?

Will Lanny die from over-exertion on the ski slopes - or elsewhere?

Will Jackson, Jungle Jim, and Chickenman really be happily married?

Will June 6 really get here?

Squadron Nickname

Horny 18 Toads

This year marked the beginning of an era in 18's history: "The reign of the project officers," as nineteen Cadet/Butterbars jockeyed to see who could get more privileges. Perhaps the sudden rise in Ho-Jo's business this year was a result of 73 grabbing hold of the reigns in one hand and a "fishbowl" in the other, to guide the squadron through thick and thin. Although Hey-Hay's "car" could plow through the thickest thick, after a year's construction it was still ugly enough to lose a beauty contest with A-Flight Boa Ever wonder where that serpent disappeared to? If you've just had a plate of Mitch's Mystery Meat Don't ask Weirdo where it went.

This was really the year for parties. If you don't think a Coors can can make a delightful birthday cake you should have been at J-birds birthday party. Led by the three robber barons 18 ploughed straight to bankruptcy. Wild Willy ran his blazing 4:28 mile and the runt actually found a girl shorter than himself. Teddy Bear returned from France empty handed. The rock crumbled while nose-lover sat in his room and contemplated true paradise. Snuzz saw the light. When Ritchie becomes a doctor maybe he will find a cure for the Chrome-Dome. Will the Golden Toe ever quit singing in the showers?

How is that Irish lawyer going to fit in with the local ridgerunners and did Back-to-the Woods Teddy ever make it back? With Maz on the organ and Stew on the Moog is it really possible for Ira to find true Paradise? Sully took to the sky like Bucky took to the ground and we're still wondering if Arty ever gets to borrow his vette on weekends. The highlight of the year was that the missing Link finally turned up in 18.

Squadron Nickname Piayboys

The year 1972/1973 saw a powerful, balanced performance from Cadet Squadron Nineteen.

In intramurals, the Cross-Country team under Bob Glitz had an impressive season that led to Wing Champs.

Militarily, Nineteen again delivered, (gulp) With Don Ramm, 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.

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. 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.

NOW AND THEN

JUST WHEN EVERYTHING IS FINE (like when Jim Russell came back from summer research) BECAUSE EVEN IN HEAVEN (that Troll's Bridge in the Sky)

THEY DON'T SING

ALL THE TIME (only cuz Al Howey couldn't get em onseason!)

THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO BE BORN INTO IF YOU DON'T MIND SOME PEOPLE DYING (did Baldy ever really make it?)

OR MAYBE ONLY STARVING (on Gambi's table)

SOME OF THE TIME WHICH ISN'T HALF SO BAD

IF IT ISN'T YOU (right, Gobe?)

OH THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO BE BORN INTO

IF YOU DON'T MUCH MIND A FEW DEAD MINDS (quite a few)

OR A BOMB OR TWO

NOW AND THEN

IN YOUR UPTURNED FACES (but BG really tried to cover his man)

OR SUCH OTHER IMPROPRIETIES AS OUR NAME BRAND SOCIETY IS PREY TO (and Gambi sold only brand-name stuff)

WITH ITS MEN OF DISTINCTION (John I. Barron, III)

AND OTHER PATROLMEN (who took a likin' to Troy's Hevvy Chevy)

AND ITS VARIOUS SEGREGATIONS THAT OUT FOOL FLESH IS HEIR TO (and our Okie caught 'em all!)

YES THE WORLD IS THE BEST PLACE OF ALL (especially Vail - just ask John or Neil)

FOR A LOT OF SUCH THINGS AS MAKING THE FUN SCENE (Henry and Jerry had an instinct for it)

AND MAKING THE LOVE SCENE (could the Paducah Kid, Poke, and F. L. Baileys handle a tough weekend?)

AND MAKING THE SAD SCENE AND SINGING LOW SONGS AND HAVING INSPIRATIONS

AND WALKING AROUND (like Bruce when his car was restricted)

Squadron Nickname Blackjack

Now that 73 is on its way to the cold, cruel world beyond the gates, it is time to gather our thoughts and reflect on days passed. 21st squadron has been a standard in the wing in the last four years; setting the pace in intramurals; academics, the PFT, and in military performance. These achievements are proud accomplishments to be sure, but we also remember things near and dear such as the buffalo chase, BJ commando raids, the poker games, the Blackjack Thunderchickens, the Doll Baby pregame rallys, Eppo, Hoop, Bwana George, and General Jose.

Pride is a feeling that is measured by intangible standards. Throughout the ups and downs of four years, 21st squadron has the right to be proud that its goals have been set and reached. With a team spirit and a united effort Blackjack has persevered and excelled. The past, however, has left some questions unanswered. The answers to those questions are in the years to come.

In conclusion, while the years were not perfect, we all have much to reflect back on and much to look forward to. The good times and the bad will always be remembered. If experience is what counts, Blackjack 73 has 104 years of experience; but the memories, lessons, and insights must be measured in eternities.

Retrospectfully, Blackjack

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 ofMuscle 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 slightly dented front fender to its rightful owner Mick 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.

"Those were the days my friend, We thought they'd never end!"

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 squadronhung together.

Jeff took command and started us out well. Then came drill competition. Well, we didn't go to Washington, 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 proved 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 with his words of wisdom. "When you get your CDB ."

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 mindthat "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 was transformed, 75 finally got done with CA, 74 got their cars, and 73 was pushed out to "Crash and Burn" through the outside Air Force.

Phantoms

The D. A. will have all the practice time he wants, Kelly's halls will be quiet, Zero will lose a growler but gain a Molly. Catlio gets to wear Ivy League clothes whenever he wants, Chambers can swim at UPT, Andthe Ulcer will see the slopes from Lowry, j. C. may miss hockey in Texas, but what are pucks beside a jet? Sexy Forrest K. will still have his car, Fly & Clair can cook together all the time, and the Polish wit may find it dry enough at Willy. Troll can get shot down every night when he isn't flying, Bleepbleep can work on his thing, and the Rock of the Springs can find out just how much of a rock he really is. Mac will have an opaque house at last, the Grinning Chinaman can sit on his front porsche, and Amy can listen to Smith's cheerful voice. Where ever they go, they need only call, and a balding lump with a dead eye and deader pistol will be there to hear their causes.

Now that all that maudling is finished, down to the grit (as in 'grits', not Williamsport, Pa.).

73 always was a transition class, so much, in fact, that they never knew whether they were coming or going. The first class to miss "the brown-shoe days" but the only ones to ever see "Guts Galore Day"; four years in one squadron but in which hall on which floor? Honor squadron cufflinks to down with Winnebagos, first in intramurals to "We won?" We were the last to see Zl, and we did run the Wing sometimes. Most important of all, the first class to graduate in a time of peace, but for how long and where to next?

There were questions, such as "Why?"

All too often, there were answers:

"We can't fix your pants because they need fixing."

"You have to sign in at 0030 because the accidents are happening between 0030 and 0130."

"It's snowing."

"If everybody has popcorn poppers and turned them on at the same time ." sometimes, "Yes", but more often, "No."

We couldn't have done too bad, though the mudsharks made people sick, seventeen of us actually finished.

In the final reckoning, we saw classes leave before us, and tried to learn from them, if not in spite of them. Maybe the classes that follow have learned something in spite of, if not from, us. We wish them luck.

Anyway, the North Gate calls, our rear view mirrors tell the story, and it's up to us to finish it. We believe in happy endings. We're too crazy not to.

Squadron Nickname

Barons

Twenty-sixth Squadron is sporting a "new look" of its own this year. Capt. William Faust is the newly appointed AOC for the Barons, and his year-long service has greatly bene^it^d j£ie*squadron.<

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 ofthe 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 appreciated 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, thosestalwart defenders ofthe 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" was a 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 say that 28 has made this a year never to be forgotten.

Squadron Nickname Black Panthers

The continuing story of 29th Squadron added another excellent chapter this year thanks to the outstanding exemplary performance of the class of 73.

It would be difficult for anyone to find a more "together" squadron in the wing than the "Black Panthers".

The year began with Craig Bedore at the helm and a fewbeerball 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 cross country and football teams going undefeated in league play.

As Christmas came closer, Ollie became the new 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 leaveeach 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.

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.

TOMMY

I went into a public-'ouse to get a pint o'beer, The publican 'e up an' sez, "We serve no red-coats here." The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die, I outs into the street again, an' to myself sez I:

O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy go away";

But it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play, The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,

O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play.

I went into a theater as sober as could be, They give a drunk civilian room, but 'adn't none for me; They sent me to the gallery or round the music-'alls, But when it comes to fightin', Lord! they'll shove me in the stall.

For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy wait outside";

But it's "Special train for Atkins," when the trooper's on the tide, The troopship's on the tide, my boys, etc.

O it's "Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play.

O makin' mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep Is cheaper than them uniforms, an' they're starvation cheap; An' hustlin' drunken sodgers when they're goin' large a bit Is five times better business than paradin' in full kit.

Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy 'ow's yer soul?"

But it's "Thin red lines of 'eroes" when the drums begin to roll, The drums begin to roll, my boys, etc.

We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too, But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you; An' if sometimes our conduct isn't all your fancy paints, Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints.

While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy fall be'ind";

But it's "Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind, There's trouble in the wind, my boys, etc.

You talk o'better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all: We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.

Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face

The Widow's uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.

But it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"

But it's "Savior of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;

An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, and' anything you please;

An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool—you bet that Tommy sees!

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 persistence (Al Streib did break above a 2.00 cumulative). What is it about AOC's that makes them 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, aftermuch 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 to all. We're all going to need it.

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 new leader Capt. Robert L. Billesbach, an F-4 jockey just back from Southeast Asia, who quickly adapted to his 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.

The end of the year was welcomed by all with everyone looking forward to a good summer, and starting all over again in the fall.

Squadron Nickname

Loosehogs

Far removed from civilization a new breed of animal has developed. In this restricted and confined isolation, where man bows to hog and life lingers ioosely, the “34 Loose Hog" has sow-n his seed.

Gazing back upon 1972-73, many changes are apparent. KAFA's most requested hits were: “Do Ya Wanna Dance", “I Could Have Danced All Night", and “Dance, Dance, Dance Till The Comm Takes His T-Bird Away". Why, down in the “penthouse" the swine adopted the saying, “You can't see the forest through the bears!"

Who can forget the days of rack - the days at the 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".

Days at USAFA

It rings in your ears

Though miles away

She calls in your dreams

But, it's another day

Razor cuts rapidly

You're so short of time

Grabbing your books

You rush to “the line"

You eat as the sun

Fights to arise

From the depths of horizon

To the heights of the skies

She calls

But, you're off to class

Seconds late

In class you whiz

The man in blue

Hands you the quiz

Find torque about “A"

Explain “Total Warfare"

You're hand writes it steadily

But your mind is not there

She calls

But, You must shine your shoes for noonmeal

Her house glows through the fog

She waits to be kissed

As you step to the door

The squadrons' dismissed

Coldcuts or seafood

The outcomes' the same

Remember her food

Was never so tame

She calls

But, You're in fifth period

Hours of lecture

For minutes of facts

Your mind leaves your body

He continually yacks

He calls

But, You're with her now

He calls

But, With her you will stay

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 it Traf, Buff, Boy Wonder, Spud, Chuckhole, Stump, Heimie, Emo, Scotty, Frank, Woot, Pat, Kevin, Dave, Bill, Ralph, Tim,Tom, John, and Shark. Find yourself beyond the south gate. MMWR.

Squadron Nickname Smilers

The thirty-seventh cadet squadron has a history of four years, and the Firsties that are leaving this year have been with the squadron since its inception. From these four years of experience many attitudes and feelings have developed which are now an integral part of our squadron. To best express these ideas we have asked the Firsties to give their feelings about the squadron.

"Ours is the reason why." Doug

"Do it." Hearns

"You just can't have time for the idiots." F-loward

"You can learn much afrom abroad." Jim

"The grass is greener on the other side." Rock

"The boss taught me everything I know If you have any complaints see him!" Ash

"Why?" Beals

"Seeing is believing—what I have seen I cannot believe." Goeff

"You have to take the situation in hand." Hold

"Smilers have got their ducks in line." Rose

"Life is like children's games, its never half as much fun when planned as when it comes spontaneously. So why did I make all these plans?" Petro

"A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever.

The sun rises and the sun sets, and hastens to the place where it rises.

What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; ^and there is nothing new under the sun." Dana

"Let me be a free man—free to travel, free to stop, free to work free to think and talk and act for myself." Wetz

"What man is free that is deluded with imperfect wisdom and confidence, ruled by desire, and subtly ded by temptation? What man can love that performs from a sense of duty? What man can claim peace that refuses the Prince of Peace Victoras

"And that's the way it is, Wednesday, June 6, 1973." Ron

"You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart." Jer 29:13 Greg

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, and 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 didthe first class leave their mark. The remarkable unity and closeness of 73 was quickly transmitted throughout the squadron creating a cohesiveness no one couldtouch.

To be sure, the lighter side of life cannot be neglected, and whenthe 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 just a party place, and to still have fun doing it. But don't 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.

To sum it up in a nutshell, we are dedicated, enthusiastic and extremely proud to be a member of the United States Air Force Academy Cadet Wing. Throughout the past year, our underlining goal has been to make each class within the squadron a better class, the squadron a better squadron and our group and wing better. We feel we have succeeded in all areas.

Squadron Nickname

Ali Baba

For 76, the year has been a year of transformation and of change, a time of iistening and learning, the start of a time to become a man.

For 75, the year has been one of work with no goal in sight, a time of indecision and planning, a period in which to search for a place to stand.

For 74, the year has been one of hope and of ambition, the year in which were born the leaders of tomorrow.

For 73, the year has been one of maturation and reflection;

a year of dynamic leadership. A time to tie up loose ends, to plan long-awaited marriages, to look at tomorrow, knowing its closer than you think.

40 has felt the bitterness of death, and learned that the Hope of new life will lift the spirit.

40 has withstood the self-agony of dishonor, and learned that integrity must govern loyalty.

40 has heard the silence of being last, the also-ran, and has learned that pride is the real victory.

40 has lived under the disgust of apathy, and has seen the uncommon spirit that only desire can achieve.

40 has suffered the humiliation of noninvolvement in life, and has learned that seclusion is the reason that life does not grow.

40 has known the scourge of attrition, and has valued the fact that perseverance is the price of completion.

For the first four months, 40 guided him. For the past 3 years, he guided 40. As 73 pins on new bars, Major Johnston pins on new leaves.

40 says farewell to the only class and officer that belonged to it alone.

Ski Colorado

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

Black Arts Festival

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

talk, Russell stressed the importance of all Americans thinking as citizens, not as black, white or yellow people.

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

Homecoming!"

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

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 to the POW's return. As Colonel Robinson Risner stated, "We had a comradeship amongst us, a loyalty, an integrity, that may never be found in any group of men."

Chapel Each In His Own Way

Religion is as personal and varied as the four thousand residing at USAFA, reflecting the need for per- sonalism and individuality which is prevalent everywhere.

We cannot ignore the fact that religion, in any form, is an important determinant in our lives. At our stage in life, on the threshold of independence and responsibility, we often seek to make religion convenient to us, picking and 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

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.

A Time To Pray"

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 the 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 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 per- formed 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, next year's team looks strong, and should continue the winning tradition of the Air Force Academy Jump Team.

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".

Throughout the four days, cadetsand 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".

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.

The purpose of the History Club is to promote an appreciation for and supplement the study of history beyond that offered by the regular curriculum. Numerous field trips and movies make this club immensely popular, highly active, and staffed by over 100 members.

WILL NOT forget them CAFPOW

This cadet organization has spent its entire existence on one theme: to be an information 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.

Lt Col Lane and Captain High meet the history club officers by the statues of flight pioneers Orville and Wilbur Wright.

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 M 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 complex instruments used in research. Demonstrations are given at Academy open house.

Geography Club

There are several clubs at the Academy that are concerned primarily with promoting interest in the practical applications of their area of interest. Among these clubs is the Geography Club. One of the fastest growing majors at the Academy, geography, has gained more interest than any other academically oriented club. It may be the great trips that they plan every year or the company in the club, but this club is doing more than just reading maps and doing it better.

KAFA

The feeding of one's ego has got to be one of the main reasons anyone would spend several hours a week at KAFA. The radio voice of the Cadet Wing completed its second season of broadcasting this year.

"This is B. J. Stanton saying .”

Members of KAFA do more than just jockey records. Some spend Friday and Saturday nights doing live play by play of hockey and basketball. Others spend long hours wiring and repairing equipment, in order to keep the stereo signal up to standards. Information on Academy events and interviews with VIPs are included in KAFA's daily broadcasting.

This cadet organization, new to the Academy this year has performed at the noon meal and numerous half-time shows at Falcon football games. So successful has been its performance that the club can look to many more years of service to the Wing.

Forum club officers meet one of their distinguished guests - Arthur C. Clarke, author of the book

2001: A Space Odessy.

Economics Club

“Say, a can borrow a dime?”

The Econ Club at the Academy provides an outlet for those cadets interested in finance. Although membership doesn't imply you'll become another Howard Hughes, it does provide useful information on such investment activities as stocks, bonds, and land.

Foreign Language Club

The USAFA Foreign Language Club is one of the most popular and useful club around. Since cadets are often TDY to foreign countries the club provides an assembly point for them to practice their communications skills.

Members of the fishing ciub take advantage of many fine lakes and streams located in Colorado. By providing the cadet with fishing equipment, information on the fishing areas and advice on the best fishing techniques, the club prepares its members for individual or club trips.

Skeet Team

The USAF Academy Cadet Skeet Club is actually composed of two programs, recreation and competition. From the club membership of approximately 200 cadets, up to 20 of the better shooters are chosen to represent the Academy competitively. While most of the meets take place locally, some are as far away as Connecticut.

Members of the Skeet Team assemble before a match.

Falconers

The Cadet Falconers provide and train the Academy Mascotthe Falcon. These twelve cadets bring the falcons to sports events such as home football games and represent the Academy spirit in other areas where the Wing is represented. The Cadet Falconers also aid the Office of Information by providing the falcons for public relations. This year the falconers had another successful year keeping the birds flying at home and away games. *

The Judo Club, headed by C1C Jarman, has had a fantastic turnout year with the addition of a few brown belts to the club. This year the club took part in the NCAA tournaments and 8 local tournaments.

The Karate Club, six years old and still going strong, is headed by C1C Watson and Capt Johnson. This year has been filled by tournaments and contests all over the C-Springs area and at the academy.

Interaction

TheCadet Interaction Club is one of the many USAFA organizations dedicated to involvement in the community. The group has many activities among them, in-

volvement in Earth Day campaigns and teaching classes downtown in elementary school. This organization certainly deserves its well earned reputation.

Aviation Club

This outgrowth ofthe Academy Aero Club is the cadet organization which flys at the Academy. The Cessna's and Beechcraft get their workouts after school and weekends when the 130 cadet members work for their private, commercial, and flight instructor ratings. Highlighting this club is The Flying Team which participates in regional and national Flying Association meets such as in Carbondale, Illinois in May.

Hunting Club

The Hunting Club allows many cadets to participate in an exciting pastime—big game hunting. The Colorado area is an ideal area for hunting, providing such game as antelope, elk, pheasant, duck and bear. This year another wild game was hunted in November—wild turkey. Each hunting area is scouted prior to the cadet trips for safety and game abundance. This activity provides cadets with equipment and hunting advice and safety.

Bowling Club

The cadet bowling club is one of the oldest clubs at the Academy. Over the years the club has compiled an impressive record, including an NCAA championship.

Bow Club

Target archers and bowmen alike make up Robin Hood's (alias C2C Garner) band of merrymen who are always ready to shoot the king's deer or carry off a fair maiden. Whether practicing on the indoor range inside the New Dorm, competing savagely on the 28target outdoor range, or stalking stealthily in the sylvan mountains of Colorado for an elusive buck, the Robin Hoods of the wing display fine skill in the age-old sport. Besides shotting in the Colorado State Archery Tournament and various invitationals, the club members sponsored their own shoot on the field range and, of course, won.

Scuba Club

The SCUBA Club is designed to provide cadets with an opportunity to learn scuba diving and practice the sport on recreational trips. Instruction is provided by cadets with advanced scuba experience and knowledge. After a cadet finishes the course of instruction consisting of both written and water work, he is awarded a certification card signifying that he is qualified as a scuba diver. A trip to Mexico was among the activities of the club this year not to mention the river and lake diving done in Colorado.

These guys are all wet.

Balloon Club

If soaring and jumping wasn't enough, a relatively new club at the Academy, the Hot Air Ballooning Club, has taken steps in reviving the oldest of all aerial sports. Organized this year, the club sent delegates to Albuquerque to observe the National Invitational. They also are planning to increase interest in the club and show that the sport is more than just hot air.

Squash Club

This quasi-official sport is still in club status but is just as much a winner as the best varsity sport. After school and weekends are the times these masters of the four walls, ceiling and floor beat the ball to death and enjoy it.

Club officers meet in the library to plan future activities.

One Last Chance To Honor The Class Of 73.

The outstanding members of the graduating class were honored by many different agencies for their work at the Academy. Many of the individual and squadron awards were presented at the awards presentation in the field house since rain postponed the traditional awards parade. Other awards were presented at the Athletic Awards Banquet, which traditionally kicks off June Week, and at special points around the Academy. One such award, the Civil Air Patrol 25 Year Honor Roll, was presented at the CAP display in Arnold Hall. The award to Cadet Brian W. Jones was presented by Brigadier General Wesley Westberg and the Commandant of Cadets, Brigadier General Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Jr.

In war and peace United Services Life rovides more protection exclusively to more American officers than any other company.

It began in 1939 as the war clouds that hovered over the world burst.

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 an extra measure of security and peace of mind as they answered the call, and met the challenge, on a hundred different battlefields.

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

And now, United Services provides more life insurance, exclusively, to more American officers and their families than any other company.

Isn’t it time you talked to us?

Attack radar system for the Air Force's F-l 5 fighter automatically displays on the cockpit windscreen the instant information the pilot needs for successful air-to-air combat.

The Anik 1 synchronous communications satellite, now in service for Telesat Canada, provides that vast land with border-toborder television and telephony. Hughes is also building the AMSAT and WESTAR satellites for U.S. domestic commercial systems.

Wire-guarded TOW missile is the Army's primary anti-tank weapon at battalion level. Hughes is building launching systems and gyrostabilized sights for flight testing aboard the HueyCobra helicopter.

The Navy’s long-range Phoenix missile and AWG-9 weapon control system give the new F-l 4 fighter the capability to engage up to six attacking aircraft or cruise missiles simultaneously.

The Navy’s NTDS (Naval Tactical Data System) u a computer to process and evaluate radar and sonar data on enemy threats within a ship’s combat area, then gives the commander an instantaneous battle-situation picture on its Hughes-built display console and helps him assign and control the proper defensive weapons interceptors, missiles, torpedoes, or guns.

NATO’s NADGE air defense system, stretching across a 3,000-mile arc from Norway to Turkey, protects Western Europe from air attack. NADGE uses Hughesdeveloped software and Hughesbuilt computers, operating in a multi-processing mode, in its 37 "nerve centers."

First we put our Projected MapSystem aboard the A-7

We knew our Projected Map System was good. After all, it was among the very first major avionics sub-systems to become fully qualified for the A-7D/E. But now, with hundreds of thousands of flight hours behind it, we find the PMS is being called the most effective interface between pilot and navigation system ever devised. Just ask the men who fly the A-7 about our

PMS. They wouldn't leave the deck without it.

With its outstanding performance aboard the A-7D/E our Projected Map System becomes the obvious answer to low level, night, VFR and IFR radar

navigation problems. We also have under development advanced integrated navigation systems that promise to be even more effective in reducing pilot workload and improving mission flexibility. If you would like to have more information about our navigation systems capability, write Avionics Marketing, Computing Devices of Canada Limited, P.O.Box 8508, Ottawa, Canada KIG 3M9.

Then the A-7 put us on the map!

From "A Man Without A Country"

Edward Everett Hale

And for your country, boy, and for that Flag, never dream a dream but of serving her as she bids you, though the service carry you through a thousand hells. No matter what happens to you, no matter who flatters you or who abuses you, never look at another flag, never let a night pass but you pray God to bless that Flag. Remember, boy, that behind all these men you have to do with, behind officers and Government and the people even, there is the Country Herself, your Country, and that you belong to Her as you belong to your own mother. Stand by Her, boy, as you would stand by your mother."

Sooner or later a man, if he is wise, discovers that life is a mixture of good days and bad, victory and defeat, give and take. He learns it doesn't pay to be sensitive, and should let some things go over his head like water off a duck's back. He learns: that he who loses his temper loses out. that carrying a chip on his shoulder is the easiest way to get into a fight.

...that "getting along" depends about 98 percent on his own behavior.

...that every day is a new life to a wise man.

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 savage 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, however, technicians found that 1230 had never missed a beat.

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.

Tiger*

It lives in another kind of jungle. Cold. Bright. Blue. It flies in the trees. Just above. Or way above.

Our new F-5ETiger II was bred for it.The arena where most air combat happens. In the speed range between Mach 0.4 and 1.4 victory is to the agile.To the relentless.To the tigers.

Combine this air-to-air superiority 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.

Chosen after competition as the International Fighter, it is recognized as the most realistic answer to the self-defense needs of many nations: peace through security.

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 toughest family of light fighters in the entire world.

The awesome thevery 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’sthe 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 speakers, an auxiliary, plus 4-channel terminals, when you want them.

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 eliminates squinting, loudness contour, FM muting, mode and speaker lights, click-stop tone

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 structure 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 restraint of palletized cargo to 5,000 pounds without exceeding the structural limits of the ramp.

All in all, this new system, compared with the previous and present systems, provides operational readiness through conversion of the plane's interior in a matter of minutes instead of hours.

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.
