DEDICATION

This Silver Anniversary Polaris is dedicated to all those pioneers of a separate Air Force and those who made this institution a reality.

The chapel Is an appropriate symbol £or the USAF Academy’s Silver Anniversary Polaris. For many visitors - and many o£ us - the 17-spired chapel is the £irst image that comes to mind when someone mentions the Academy. Its unique triangular design dominates the cadet area in a salute to dynamic architecture.

For some o£ us, the chapel represents a reach upward to the sky - towards achievement o£ high goals and towards the high paths o£ flight many of us will travel.

To others, this interdenominational chapel is a symbol of the integration of different people, ideas, and strengths into the Air Force and the AF Academy to make for a stronger, more flexible armed service.

Perhaps for many, the symbolism isn’t quite so involved. The chapel may represent the religious influence in the military.

Whatever its meaning to you, the chapel is a monument to 25 years of proud and growing tradition in a proud and growing service - the U. S. Air Force.

Special th;ink\ goes to Ed Herlik. '80 who photographed the cover picture of the chapel for Polaris.

The products of the Air Force Academy - future Air Force leaders - are forged through military, athletic, and academic endeavors. A brief look at this side of cadet life follows.

Comm. Shop Brigadier General Richards - Commandant of Cadets

As the Academy moved into its 25th Anniversary, Brigadier General Thomas C. Richards, Commandant of Cadets, initiated some challenging changes in the Cadet Wing. We experienced a change in philosophy which embraced a reaffirmation of the basic tenants of the military profession - discipline, high ethical standards and dedication to the mission. Emphasis was placed on understanding "loyalty" and "professionalism" at the Academy and in the Air Force.

Upperclass cadets learned the definition of "leadership" as the ability to motivate people to understand and actively support the decision of what to do, when to do it, how to do it and who will do it. First class cadets experienced "officer transition" after Spring Break, fourthclass cadets were recognized before Spring Break and the fourthclass "shuffle," experienced since 1971, was changed to occur at the end of the Thirdclass year. General Richards' policy of "work hard, play hard" influenced a new privilege structure that more closely related cadet free time to their performance. In addition, AOCs were permitted to suspend some punishments based upon the cadet's overall performance record. TheSe are just a fewof the changes initiated to improve the training and leadership experiences of cadets, present a clearer line of distinction between line and staff authority within the Wing and to increase communication throughout the Wing.

June 26, 1978 marked the reoccurrence of the Academy's oldest tradition, the start of Basic Cadet Training, It was on this date that over 1400 individuals from all over the country claimed the title "Class of '82". Ahead of them lay 6 weeks of probably the hardest times they will have ever known, It all started with in-processing and lines for everything. "First they took our hair, then gave us 2000 lbs of equipment to carry." It was three days of organization and culture shock. For most, the experience was undescribable. After in-processing, the daily schedule for the first 3 weeks settled into an assortment of drill, ethics, physical training, and an impossible amount of knowledge. Interspersed

between all the work were a few items of positive motivation Few can forget their first "real" meal at the Chaplain's Picnic and the surprise of finding out that everyone was having just as tough a time as yourself. Few will forget the consumption of thousands of cokes at the Coke Break and the fun of learning about navigation on the T-43 orientation flight. Half way through Beast (as most called it) led to the long trek to Jack's Valley and for many their first, as shown by the experience in outdoor living. By now the Class of '82 was really beginning to work together, as was shown by the fact that the Class of '82 set a new record in the set up of Jack's Valley, an admirable act indeed. (Cont. 26)

"Welcome to the United States Air Force Academy. You have been selected ..."

C4C Stuart and friends prepare for another hour of marching, and another, and another,

What else but Suck it Up! ?

(On My First Whistle * .]

Jack’s Valley continued the transition from civilian to officer candidate. Ethics and regulations were stressed with emphasis put on the strive for excellence. Basic cadets had the chance to use the M-16 rifle and '82 became the first class to receive soaring orientation rides. The chance to excel was always apparent but perhaps never so evident as it was at the Assault Course. Few cadets will forget such sayings as “Assault Course Sir!” and most of all, “Drop!” One cadet remarked, “There were days when it felt so bad you thought you couldn’t go on, morning at the Assault Course, PT in theafternoon and knowledge stations at night.” But not

everything was bad. The Confidence Course gave everyone the chance to excel and Recondo allowed the Basic Cadets a chance to play grunt. The Valley culminated with the Valley Sweepstakes, perhaps the most physical of events but rarely absent of encouragement from the Cadre. Then it was over. ’82 marched backand prepared for acceptance into the Wing. Perhaps the most noticeable difference in the Class of ’82 in comparing the first and last days of BCT was the dramatic change from a group of separate individuals to an effective team of classmates. If ’82 continues to perform as well as they did during BCT their success is certain.

All cadets must take SERE training during their third class summer. The training is conducted at the Academy and in the nearby Rocky Mountains. The course is fully accredited by the Air Force and fulfills the survival training requirements for rated qualified cadets, “but EVERYONE gets to do

Water survival training provides cadets with necessary training in case of a bail-out over water.

An important part of the training was the use of diversionary tactics such as the smoke cover exhibited here.

The UNDERWATER DEMOLITION TRAINING program gives Air Force cadets the chance to turn their thoughts from the sky to the ocean. The program is a 3 week-three phase course which familiarizes each cadet with the Navy Sea-Air-Land (SEAL) training program. The program is held at the Naval Amphibious Base, Coronado Beach, San Diego, CA. Instruction is given by the Navy's UDT/SEAL special forces.

The first week cadets are put through a general conditioning program thatincludes the UDT obstacle course. The course is very similar to our "Confidence Course." From 0430 until late at night, cadets are put through the demanding tasks of porting and rowing small inflatable boats (IBS) for miles in every direction on land and sea.

The second week focuses its attention on classroom instruction to inform cadets of diving physics, the dangers of the sea, and decompression tables.

The third and final week tests the previous two weeks knowledge. The first three days are spent diving for pleasure off of an amphibious landing craft. The next two days are spent practicing UDR drops and pickups. Each cadet is dropped off and scooped up at twenty knots, and it proves to be very exciting. Although the program is short and compacted, most cadets agree that the program is extremely exciting and rewarding.

Cadets give each other a final check-off before diving.

(Cadets Look At Real Air Force)

OPERATION THIRD LIEUTENANT is one of the more popular second class summer training programs the Academy has to offer. Cadets are sent to selected Air Force bases for three weeks and are exposed to the real Air Force from a junior officer's standpoint.

When the cadets arrive at their designated bases, they follow a routine schedule with junior officers performing the same duties they can expect to do after graduation.

Many cadets claim Operation Third Lieutenant to be the best summer program offered by USAFA because in many cases the opportunity to fly in planes such as the F-4 is offered. More importantly, the cadets are given a realistic view of their future lifestyle, and are motivated to become career officers in the United States Air Force.

OPERATION NON-COM is one of the Academy's required summer programs and is designed to develop an appreciation for the key role the enlisted force plays. Non-com offers the opportunity for cadets to work with enlisted people and become familiar with their duties. By living and working with airmen, cadets gain first-hand knowledge of an airman's life.

When the cadet arrives at their base, they become familiar with various airman's duties. The tasks can vary widely from stripping down a jet engine to getting into the muck of the base's septic system. Although cadets can often come up with hard case stories of menial labor, most agree that the experience opened a new side to the Air Force's life previously hidden from them.

(Free Flight. /

The soaring program is by far one of the most popular organizations in the wing. Cadets are first offered the chance to join the program during their fourth class year. Many take soaring as a summer elective and gain the chance to solo by the end of the three week period. Cadets who wish to stay in the program can continue to upgrade their status during the school year by flying after school. After soloing, cadets pursue their private license, then their commercial

licenseand finally an Instructor Pilot rating. Upon receiving an I.P. rating cadets can assume a leadership position by teaching other cadets how to soar either during the year or during the summer. An I.P. rating also allows the cadet to improve his flying skills by trying new flight patterns and for those who are skilled enough the Soaring team provides a new dimension of excitement.

(Navigation And T-41)

NAVIGATION courses are offered by the Academy, and are open to all cadets regardless of their pilot qualifications. AV460 is a required, basic course of aviation fundamentals for those cadets who do notenter pilot training. The course is a summer program for third and second class cadets. AV470 is the same course offered during the academic year. Classroom instruction, training-simulator instruction, and T-43 flight missions are the three main components ofthe course. In addition to learning various aviation techniques, several missions are made to various Air Force bases. These trips offer the cadet a chance to meet Air Force personnel, and how to understand their navigation techniques apply to the Air Force mission. Cadets who qualify for advanced training are eligible for Undergraduate Navigator Training School.

Each year, qualified first class cadets who plan on entering Undergraduate Pilot Training take to the skies for their pilot indoctrination program. Instructed by the 557th Flying Training Squadron, first class cadets are allowed the opportunity to fly a T-41, a military version of the Cessna 172. Besides flying experience, cadets gain a vast amount of fundamental knowledge by attending ground school courses taught by the Airmanship staff. If qualified, cadets will have the opportunity to fly almost 25 hours consisting of both dual and solo missions. For many first class cadets, one of the highlights of their stay at the Academy is the final achievement of a solo flight.

Familiarization with all instruments is essentia

Safety being of primeimportance, cadets check off their planes very carefully before taking off.

Within the Wing there exists an obvious discrepancy among opinions concerning the two parachuting programs open to cadets. The two programs: The Academy's own weak AM490 and the "Drop For Ten" Airborne, located at Fort Benning, Georgia are often topics for discussion among cadets ranging from the worth of static line vs freefall to the rough and toughness of Airborne as opposed to AM490. 1978-79 saw a few dramatic changes in both programs. Much to the disappointment of both cadets and officers, the Academy allotment for Airborne was drastically cut resulting in quite a few people losing the opportunity to go Airborne. The parachuting department also announced that any fourth class cadets interested in making the parachute team would have to take AM490 during their 3° summer in order to qualify for further advancement. The resulting situation due to both factors was an expansion ofthe AM490 program. Although it would appear that there will be an increase in the number of people attending AM490 as opposed to Airborne, there is no doubt the conflicting ideas of both programs will continue.

Simulating the real thing, cadets jumpt from the "Tower."

An assortment of cadets, officers, and other trainees prepare for another day of the "Airborne Life."

AM-370, the Academy's "Stardust Program" saw its existance terminated in 1979. Due to a lack of funds, the program had to be cut from the budget, at least for the present time. For years the program had provided orientation rides in T-33s to cadets. The rides, undoubtably followed by the usual cadet stories, were given to provide motivation to cadets during their early years at the Academy and to give at least some insight into what their future held. Alas, perhaps as proof that the Academy is subject to economic situations similar to civilian colleges, the class of 1981 will be the last class to receive the rides.

Before cadets can have their fun they have to sit through some mandatory training.

(R-FLIGHT)

Each year, throughvolunteering or as required, cadets give up their summer leave in order to attend the Academy's summerschool program. For those ambitious cadets who enjoy the opportunity of expanding their educational horizons, there is the chance of attending a course they could not fit into their schedule. For those who find themselves deficient in one of their regular courses there is the opportunity to catch up with the rest of their classmates. The basic idea ofthe summer-school program is to offer the cadet increased personal attention which during the school year would be difficult to establish due to the work load or size of class.

(Sabre Drill Near Perfect)

Entering only its second consecutive year of competition the Sabre Drill team established itself as one of the dominant drill teams in the nation by taking a 2nd place overall finish during national competition in Anaheim, California. The drill team presently consists only of the lower three classes, however by next year there is expectation of all four classes being represented. In addition a standard policy for fourth classmen will be implemented at the beginning of the next season. Fourthclassmen will have the opportunity to become a candidate for the Sabre Drill Team during Transition Week. During the following months the doolies will have to prove themselves worthy of becoming a team member. If successful the fourthclassmen will be accepted as full-pledged members of the team.

In addition to their victory at Annaheim the Sabre Drill team performed before thousands at such places as the Festival of States in Florida, "A Holiday in Dixie” at Barksdale A.F.B. and various other functions such as basketball half-time shows, the Special Olympics and much more. It seems apparent that although extremely young, the Sabre Drill team is proving to be one of the highlights of the Academy.

There goes another weekend!

Dear Family,

Something just happened here at the Academy that made me come right back to the room and get out my typewriter. I feel that I have to tell you word by word about a dedication ceremony that just took place, and I feel it is something that would be totally wasted on the telephone.

We just had a dedication for something called the class wall, where we will all be putting out class crests when we are firstclassmen and subsequently as graduates. The part of the ceremony that really impressed me was when the spokesman for the Association of Graduates spoke for a minute about several ofthe classes and then went on to call roll for the graduates that had died during the past year. Apparently, it is something that is done every year at homecoming and yet still had that freshness of spirit and that feeling that "it needed to happen." It was so much like many of the services that take place as a tradition back at "The Point".

As an Air Force officer stood at the microphone with the entire Cadet Wing at attention before him, the soft muffled roll of drums could be heard slowly rumbling through the Area. The first name to be read was that of a Lt. Col., and then by rank, the names of men who had died in the service of the United States of America flowed with the wind to each and every Cadet in sight. As each name was dutifully called to the Wing, with his old Cadet Squadron number following, a pause was given. In this pause came the resounding voice of that Squadron's Commander as he called out: "Absent, Sir!". Quite a few names were called, each to be followed by the proud voice of the Cadet, as he acknowledge the death of a graduate.

Eventually, the recent graduates were called, the fresh young Second Lieutenants who had so recently been standing on the very same terrazzo blocks as we. They were friends of the now graduating class, and brothers and heroes to others. One cadet, standing within my earshot, flinched at the mention of one name, and rather than his Squadron Commander giving the response, he filled his lungs with the fresh Colorado air, and in a faltering voice called to the wing "Absent, Sir!". The tears in his voice were sincere.

At the end of the list was a man whose name wasn't preceded by any officer rank instead he was addressed as a cadet. A fourthclass cadet who had died last year. I don't know where the feeling came from, whether it was me or was actually Wing-wide, but it was a cold feeling of loss. One of my own, though not at all related, had been taken. It struck me at that very moment, during the pause, that no, not even I, as a cadet here in the security of the Academy am free from loss. Who in my world is next to go? The classmate beside me, one of my friends who knows who I really am, who has seen me scream in anger, sigh from pain, and question in fear? Or is it to be a fellow graduate as we complete the rigors of becoming pilots in an alien atmosphere? I pray to God that I will not lose any of those that I dearly love; whether it is family, a person in my life that I love, or a friend in faith, devotion, respect, and truth as are my classmates who are standing beside me.

The pause was long after the Doolie's name was called, and finally, in a staggering voice filled with emotion, came the response. The feeling within the voice

sounded as though it was someone who had known the person; pain and sorrow filled the tones. Possibly the voice was a classmate. I pity his hurt.

A classic fly-by of A-7's roared overhead as the entire Wing stood at present arms. The missing man formation once again showed the loss of these men. As the roar of the jets passed into the distance, two bulgers raised their instruments to their lips and the sounds of taps echoed out into the air. The notes, played slowly and very deeply, resonded off ofthe mountains in the distance and came back in perfect response to the music's own call for respect, admiration, and love for the missing men. Taps has always placed a lump in my throat, especially when there is a very strong reason for playing it. But now, with all of the pomp and circumstance that surrounds a memorial dedication, it was so warm and flowing that my breath was held in suspense.

The whole service, the entire ceremony, really impressed me as being so though-out, so tuned to the memories ofthe ones that had passed away. I felt that I had to tell you, but I feel that these words may not be powerful enough to describe the emotions present. Men, calling for men, and finding their friends absent. The power behind that one event was enough to send me to the proudest stance of attention ever possible.

Maybe it's corny, but it's real and it did happen, so it's necessary to tell. The men were real, the absences were real, the emotions were real, and the power of the pride that is the basis for any military unit was strong. This letter has been about a small part of one day, but for me and many others, the day will last a very long time. The ceremony will always remain a strong memory throughout my life.

With love, Your son

Falcon Fever (Continued)

losing streak for a 1-8 record through the last nine games.

Falcon Fever wasn't through yet. however, and although it died down considerably as the weekends passed, it never deserted the team entirely. Several hundred cadets and other Falcon fans traveled to Kansas State to watch the Wildcats end their ten game losing streak, 34-21 at our expense.

Spirit was also high when the team began a four game home stand with Navy. Unfortunately for the Falcons, Navy’s spirit was also high and the team that was destined to break into the nation’s top twenty for several weeks trounced the Falcons 37-8.

The next week was homecoming, sock hops, bon fires, pep rallies, "Denver Ponies," and homecoming queens couldn't get the team past C.S.U. which won 31-13. The team’s fifth straight loss came at the hands of Notre Dame which won 38-15 on Dad’s Day.

The Falcons broke their losing streak with their third win the following Saturday leveling Kent State 26-10.

The victory, boosted by expectations for the upcoming Army

game, got the Wing's spirit back up. The Wing was restricted for a Food Fight in Mitchell Hal. but the cadet contingent made it to Army anyway, to witness a 28-14 loss at the hands of the Grunts.

Bowl-bound Georgia Tech came to town the following week to end the Falcon home schedule in artic-like weather. Hundreds of cadets crammed into warm restrooms, cuddled under blankets, did calisthenics and even cheered some as Air Force went down 41-21 to the Yellow Yackcts. Despite the score, the Falcons played well and stayed in the game until tailback Eddie Lee Ivery set an NCAA single game rushing record of 356 yards to put the game out of reach.

The final game of the season saw Air Force lose 41-27 to Vanderbilt. The highlight of the game for the Falcons was the rushing of Shelby Ball who tallied 174 yards for third place in the Air Force record book, and two touchdowns.

Fullback Steve Drewnowski spent a lot of time smashing up the middle for painful yardage.

Falcon Fever (Continued)

Although his performance against Vanderbilt was below par. receiverCormac Carney combined kick-off returns, punt returns and pass catching to total 1,735 yards for the season, breaking Tony Dorsett's Freshman record by 43 yards.

Over the season. Air Force looked good offensively, scoring over 200 points, but couldn’t stop the big play on defense. Time after time the Falcons were beaten by long yardage plays. Coach Parcells emphasized this fact and pointed to the Falcons lack of speed on defense as the major problem.

The team's running game improved drastically this year with three different players each gaining more yardage than the whole team rushed for last year. The Ziebart to Carney connection underscored a potent passing attack that gave opponents a lot of trouble. Ziebart. a Junior, missed parts of several games in the middle of the season because of ankle problems and this hurt the team somewhat.

The kicking game was also greatly improved over last season. Placekicker Jim Sturch came through with 16 field goals for the Falcons and record breaking punter Scott Schafer was a great asset to the team.

Next year the team will lose 14 seniors including top players like linebacker Tom Foertsch who was named a Hall of Fame Scholar Athlete for 1978. flanker Steve Hoog. and defensive tackle Bill Travnick. The team retains a great deal of talent, however, including Ziebart. Ball and defensive tackle Ryan Williams, all ofwhom Coach Parcells pointed to as probable mainstays for next year's squad.

The team also took first place in The Southern Colorado Invitational and snatched a seventh in The Central Collegiate championships. The teams top runners this year were senior captain Dave McKinney and junior John Evans. Both placed consistently high throughout the season. Other top runners included senior Rob Garza, junior Mike Smith and sophomore Bret Hyde. The teams record was the best since 1971 and Major Dick Elliot, theFalcon coach, is looking for an equally strong team next year. The team will lose McKinney and Garza, but will retain Evans, Hyde, and the remainder of the underclassmen.

The Air Force Academy finished a somewhat disappointing soccer season with a 7-8-1 record. After traveling to Nationals in 1977. the team had high hopes for this year but failed to get the goals on the scoreboard.

Coach Dan Ulmer lost All-American Greg Schulze in goal, but his shoes were filled by Mike Angaralo who came through with two shutouts.

Top goal scorers were Keith Beam, who had nine, and Mike Hill who scored eight, including seven in league competition. Other top scorers were sophomore Greg Walsh and senior Luis Mariaca. The remainder of the Strikers included Bobby Singer and Sam Levin. Link men included Tim Dignazio. Hans Buss and Bob Zapata Piloting the defense was senior captain Mike Weiland. Other backs included Mike Baltimore. Ed Shiembob. and Kurt Baum.

The top goal scoring performance of the year was by Mike Hill in booting four in against Regis. Keith Beam had a two goal game against Rockhurst.

The team had a 4-2 record in league competition.

Next year the team will be without seniors Mike Brill. Weiland. Baltimore, Mariaca and Dignazio. The three top scorers will be back, but some strength will be needed to fill in the defense.

The Air Force Academy Water Polo team ended an outstanding season with a 14-5 record and an invitation to the Nationals in California. The team made it to the finals in the Arizona Tourney, and Air Force Tourney, and to the semi-finals in the Pepperdine Tourney.

The team's top scorer was Freshman Bruce Zelenka who had 48 goals and 15 assists for 63 points. He also had three 4 goal games, against Nevada-Las Vegas. Utah, and Colorado State. His brother, Allan, also a freshman was the teams' third leading scorer with 24 goals and 6 assists for 30 points. Team Captain Mike Mullady, a Senior, was second in scoring for the Falcons with 24 goals and 10 assists for 34 points. Mullady also had a four goal game against Occidental. Juniors Fritz Wiegman and Dirk Jordan each pumped in 20 goals for Air Force. Other goal scorers

included Steve King. Phil Heidmous, Steve Henneberry, (who had 10 goals in only 8 games) Dean Latas. Joe Wooton. Steve Smith, Frank Snyder and Ed Phillips.

Bruce Zelenka not only took more shots than the rest of the team, but was by far the most accurate, scoring on over 64% of his 74 shots.

The teams top goalie was Junior Ray Bivans who played 15 games and made 98 saves. He also held three teams to under 3 goals.

Coaches Ryan Davis and Dennis Lombard should have most of their strength back next year, losing only Seniors Steve King. Mike Mullady and Frank Snyder. The team will also lose its head manager for the last four years, John Susalla.

In 1978, the women’s volleyball team had a rebuilding season. The team lost 3 of the starting 6 from the previous year but new found talent pulled them through. Freshman Spikers Martha Kross, Peggy Sherman, and Ann Reaser came on strong in the beginning of the season and continued to support throughout the year. In the back row, Sheryl Clarke, Pat Ryan, and Sue Johnson got to any ball that came near them. As for the returning veteran spikers, Bonnie Jo Houchen, Mo Tritle and Kate Minta supplied the power the team needed, leaving holes in the floor here and there. Setting for the Falcons this year were Jerri Wilfong, Annette Wade, and Mary Orn.

Looking forward to next year at USAFA, will be Bonnie Jo Houchen, Mo Tritle and Pat Ryan.

Basketball Wins ••• (At Home)

One of the youngest men’s basketball teams in AFA history, this Falcon squad finishedthe year with a 12-13 season record, losing their chance at a winning season by dropping their final two games to Marquette and Xavier of Ohio.

Learning the hard way, the Falcons discovered that it’s tough to win on the road. For the year, Air Force had an 11-4 mark at home but were 1-9 away.

Key victories for the Falcons included an early season 64-60 triumph over NIT representative Northeast Louisiana and a 66-65 win over Oklahoma City, both at home. Included in the Falcons wins is a 30-19 victory over Regis, setting a school record for the least points scored in a game. The game represented an iron man feat for the Falcons since all five starters played theentire contest.

Head Coach Hank Egan’s team had only one senior on the squad and of 14 players who appeared in games last season 12 were either freshmen or sophomores. The team captain and only senior, Randy Gricius, led the team in both scoring and rebounding. His impressiveperformance made him the number four all-time career scorer with 1100 points, and the second all-time rebounder in AFA history with 689, behind the school record of 720 held by Cliff Parsons.

Randy Gricius goes for an easy lay-up in his outstanding performance against Marquette.

Win but Injuries Hurt

Off to a 5-1 start, coach Wayne Baughman’s wrestling team was enthusiastically looking forward to a strong season. However, inexperience at the lower weights and a couple of key injuries accounted for some disappointing losses and a 5-4 final record. A strong individual performance was turned in by Dale Walters. The only Falcon to qualify for nationals, the 167-pound freshman finished with a recordof 16-8-1 and was ranked 2nd in the nation among freshman at his weight class by one wrestling publication. Senior team captain Lowell Tenpas became the first Falcon wrestler since 1976 to win the MIWA tournament in Boise Idaho, but a shoulder separation spoiled the end of the season and he finished with a 18-5 record at 177 pounds. Always a leader off the mat, senior Chris Brown alsoled numerous comebacks with some timely pins at 150 pounds.

Despite the loss of Brown and Tenpas, the Falcons are counting on a strong season next year. Juniors Paul Feliz, Mario Mastrangelli, and Vince Nulk along with Gary Chadwick, a sophomore, and Walters will provide a strong nucleus for a winning season.

Team leader Michelle Johnson drives in for a layup

Surviving an end of the season coaching change from Korea-bound Dave Schichtle to coach Chuck Holt, the Falcon women’s basketball team ended its best season ever with a 19-5 record. In true Falcon form, the 3-year-old team was a dominate force in the Rocky Mountain region, tying Colorado College as co-champions of the Intermountain Athletic Conference (IAC) league and winning the AIAW Region 7 tournament to earn its first berth in the Division II Small College National Championships.

Highlights of the season included winning the University of Chicago Tournament and the 61-56 victory over host North Dakota State in the nationals at Fargo, N.D., giving the Air Force the distinction of being the first team from the region to ever win a game in the nationals.

The Falcons were led in scoring by co-captain Michelle Johnson with an 18.2 average for the season followed by sophomore Pat Swanke with 12.2 and freshman Stacy Brodzik with 11.4. For the second consecutive year, Johnson and classmate Swanke were named to the all-regional team. Brodzik, the season’s leading rebounder, was teamed against Dayton’s All-American Ann Meyers and tied a school scoring record of 31 points and took 2nd best in individual performance in the regional tournament.

Floor leader and co-captain Diane Moyer led the team in assists with 61 and ended the season as the fourth leading scorer. Another returning mainstay, Denise Hayes showed vast improvement in field goal shooting at the end of the season and posted the best percentage with 54.6.

With his talented team returning intact next year, Coach Holt and basketball fans can be guaranteed quite a promising season.

For coach John Matcheft’s icers, it was a classic season for ups and downs. Starting the season with four losses, the falcons followed a tie with 6 consecutive wins. Another streak of 6 losses immediately followed, but the Falcons bounced back with 7 more wins. The final result was an 18-12-1 season and a ranking of 11th in the nation. A highlight of the season came when the Falcons shellacked crosstown rival Colorado College 6-1, a first even for the seniors on the team. Juniors Mike Smellie and Bob Sajevic tied for the team lead in points with 65 each. Probably the most improved player on the team, Smellie led the team in goals with 34, recording 5 hat tricks. Sajevic also had 5 hat tricks and led the team with 33 assists. Senior Robin Robideaux turned in another fine year with 18 goals and 25 assists, third high in both categories. Bill Luukkonen, another senior, was often a comforting sight to goalie Tom Talbot. Besides his solid defense, Bill’s sailing slapshots made a strong contribution on the offensive side of the ice. Talbot meanwhile turned in his fourth fine year of goaltending recording 960 saves while allowing 120 goals for a .889 percentage.

(continued below)

Despite the loss of Robideaux, Luukkonen, Talbot and John Bingaman, a steady right wing, the Falcon’s future looks bright. Along with Sajevic and Smellie, freshmen Tom Richards, Steve McCrea, and Rich Lund, sophomores Chuck Evancevich and Jeff Faust and junior Pete Hoene provide a solid nucleus of returning lettermen. If they can develop a goalie to fill Tom Talbots skates, another fine season should be in store for the Falcon icers.

Fencers Win More

For the 23rd straight year, the Falcon fencing squad has completed a winning season. Head coach Nick Toth's team finished the 1978-79 season with an 11-4 record following a successful showing in the Colorado Invitational, a second place team finish at the Western Championships, and sent three fencers to the NCAA championships.

At the Colorado Invitational, held at USAFA, Air Force fencers grabbed first places in all three events: senior, Steve Wheelers in foil; senior Steve Chabolla in eppe; and assistant coach Captain Charles Chicko in sabre. A total of 142 fencers from several states competed in the tournament. Fielding an all-freshman women's team, the highest playing Air Forcefencer was Ellen O'Sullivan, who made the semi-finals before being eliminated.

While scoring a second-place team finish at the Western Championships in San Diego. Air Force posted a 7-1 team record with their only loss coming at the hands of champion San Jose State. 15-12. While at Regionals, the Air Force men's team qualified three fencers for the NCAA Championships at Princeton. NJ. They were junior Gary Heckler in sabre, sophomore Wendel Kubik

Four Air Force seniors finished their collegiatefencing careers at the regionals with strong showings: team captain Steve Weart finished fifth in sabre; Paul Shemwell placed sixth in foil; and Steve Wheelers and Bob Vogt ended in eighth in foil and sabre, respectively.

In a very abbreviated season this year, the Falcon women’s fencing team established a 1-0 season, defeating St. John's College of Sante Fe, New Mexico.

The Pistol Team, with a 17-2 record, finished 3rd in the nation this year with threeof its members winning All-America honors. Coach Larry Hadley’s three All-Americans included sophomore Pat Saunders, one of ten named to the All-American pistol team, while senior Richard Ryan and sophomore Mike Behling were two of five named to the All-American air pistol team, a new classification this season. A falcon has now been named to the All-American pistol team for the 18th consecutive year, a streak that started back in 1962, giving the pistol team a total of 61 All-Americans.

The rifle team, under the guidance of Coach Grant Graver, came up with the best win mark of any athletic team this year, posting an impressive 41-5 record. Highlighting the year was the winning of the NRA intercollegiate sectional title which allowed the team to travel to Annapolis for the National championships. While at Nationals seniors Scott Allan and John Pardo along with junior “Hutch” Elbert and sophomore Ben Morgan tookthe team to an 8th place finish.

Outdoor Track

Competing mostly in invitational meets, the women’s outdoor track team had a 2-3 dual meet season including wins over Southern Colorado and Wyoming. Best performances of the year came in the Black Hills Relays when the women established eight school records while setting four meet records.

Men’s Outdoor Track

The Men’s Outdoor Track Teamconcluded an undefeated indoor season by winning all 3 contests outdoors. Senior Dan Boylen was a standout as he set and reset the USAFA Decathalon record.

Team Captain Walt Pate,

With a 25-5 record, Major Rich Gugat’s tennis team turned in its best season in its’ 23-year history. The fine record was made possible by 10 straight wins to finish the season, also a record. Within that win streak came the highlight of the season, a 5-4 upset over San Francisco University. Playing number one singles for his 3rd year Matt Mulhem finished the season at 23-6. Mike Levitt, another junior, played number two singles and recorded a 19-11 record. Two freshmen, Kevin Smith and Kevin Beal, held down the number three and five spots and attained 22-7 and 26-3 records respectively. Bruce Willard, the only senior on the team, played number four singles and won 20 of 30 matches. Rounding out the top six was sophomore Wayne Wanner. After working his way up from the number nine spot. Wanner went on to score a 20-1 record.

With only Willard graduating from the squad, Major Gugat looks ahead to next season with understandable optimism. With Mulhem back at number one and four of the next five players returning, the 1980 squad will be even better yet.

Junior Matt Mulhem has been playing in the #1 singles spot for all three years at the Academy.

Lacrosse Wins Again

Behind the play of All-American candidate Bart Jackson, the Air Force lacrosse team won its 13th-straight Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Lacrosse League title with a 7-0 record.

Since the beginning of the league in 1967, the Falcons have dominated the Rocky Mountain area and have won 47 straight league matches at home.

The Falcons, 12-3 for the season, kept their league record unblemished by defeating Denver May 2 in the Mile High City. 22-10. and on May 5 finished their season downing the Colorado Springs Lacrosse Club, 15-5 at the Academy.

For the season. Air Force scored 10 or more goals in a game 14 times and posted an 8-3 record in United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) games.

Jackson, the number one goalie in the nation last year, had 259 saves this season while allowing 111 goals

for a .700 percentage. In 11 USILA games, Jackson allowed 73 goals while coming up with 190 saves for a percentage of .722.

A three-year starter in the goal, Jackson is a strong candidate for All-American honors and is seeking to become the Academy's seventh All-American lacrosse player.

Senior Burt Waibel led the team in goals this year with 48 while senior Bud Vazauez had top honors in assists with 27.

The Falcons also continued the streak this past season for most consecutive home wins, bringing the total to 29 that started back in 1973.

The Falcons have 21 of 31 players returning next year, including Jackson and sophomore Chet Nowak, who finished fourth this year in total points with 21 goals and 22 assists.

Air Force Place Five On All-Rocky Mountain LacrosseTeam

Five members of the champion Air Force Academy lacrosse team, 12-3 for the season, were selected for the All-Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Lacrosse team. The selections were all on the first team. Named to the team were midfielders Gordy Ross, Bud Vazquez and Ray Sands, defenseman Tom Zenker and goalie Bart Jackson. Vazquez, from Smithtown, N.Y., who was selected to play inthe North-South All-Star game in Baltimore, Md., was an unanamious choice. Jackson, from Towson, Md., and the top U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association goalie for the past two years, was selected for the second-straight year. Playing in 11 US ILA games, Jackson had 190 saves for a .722 saves average. Senior Gordy Ross and Sophomore Tom Zenker were selected for the first time. Ross, from North Tarrytown, N.Y., was the Falcon team captain and fifth leading scorer with 38 points while Zenker, from Hicksville, N.Y., was sixth with 34 points.

Team member Bart Jackson takes time to pose for an individual picture.

For the third straight year, AF remains the top men’s golf team in the Rocky Mountain region. Head coach Gene Miranda’s Falcons not only won the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Golf Association team title for the third consecutive year, but have also gone undefeated in duals with a 17-0 record, stretching its undefeated streak to 32 going back two seasons.

Air Force, having won the team title also won permanent possession of the Butler Trophy, the symbol of RMIGA supremacy.

Two Falcon players placed on the all-RMIGA league team - Rick Sargent and Pat Youngs.

The only Falcon loss next year will be graduating senior team captain Tom English.

In its first year as a varsity team, coach Betty Bullard, the women’s golf team finished with a 12-3 dual meet record. Significant wins this season were over rival Northern Colorado State in a triangular match at Greeley.

Consistent players this year have been Carla Gammon and Sally Duggan. Gammon tied for 11th place in a 42-player field at the Sooner Invitational at Norman, Oklahoma and placed 17th in a field of 32 at the Brigham Young Invitational.

For Faulkenberry It’s A Racquet

Barbara J. Faulkenberry may be a cadet fourth class at the Academy but on the racquetball court, she’s first class. She is the only cadet out of about 4,400 who is in active competition on the racquetball circuit.

Coming to the Academy hasn’t kept her out of the circuit, though.

"The Academy has been absolutely super in providing me an opportunity to develop my racquetball game. I’ve been provided court time on a daily basis and under Capt John Blecher’s coaching, my game is improving. Even though we don’t have a racquetball team, per se, the athletic department has sent me to several major tournaments as a representative of the Academy.”

She has been a great representative, winning the Colorado Women’s State Championship and the Women’s National Collegiate Championship, among other titles.

Faulkenberry took up racquetball accidentally five years ago because a friend of hers didn’t have any other women with whom to play.

At first, playing in the YMCA racquetball court in Clearwater, she fell victim to a rule which allowed more experienced players to preempt a court from anyone under 18 years old.

“I got kicked off a lot,” Faulkenberry remembers. After about three years’ experience, though, nobody kicked her off the court.

“A lot of guys came in looking real tough,” she said. “I surprised a few of them.”

“Right now,” Blecher, her coach, says, “Faulkenberry is the best cadet I’ve seen play. She’s the quickest women on the court. You give her a forehand shot and she kills it. Give her anything else, and she controls it. She’s the franchise at the Academy.”

Larson Runs In Boston Marathon

The Air Force Academy, unlike West Point, does not have an official marathon team. However, like West Point, we were represented in the 1979 Boston Marathon. Our representative was ClC Larson from CS-20. ClC Larson worked very hard for the honor of competing in the marathon by running on his own time in excess of 10 miles every day. He also had to qualify for the Boston Marathon by running in the Atlanta Marathon. Although he did not finish in the top third of the over 1,000 entered, he did much to pave the way for Falcon marathoners.

grounds.

ClC Larson practices for the marathon by running religiously around Academy

Breaking 24 team and individual records along the way, Major Robison’s baseball team recorded by far its best season in Air Force Academy history. Winning a team record of 33 games, the Falcon’s narrowly missed an NCAA play-off bid. Senior Wade Leatham along with juniors Steve Saleck. Jim Best, John Lahoff, Deacon Winters and freshman Tom Grinstead head the list of individual standouts. Leatham tied a school record by winning 9 games and led the team with 61 strike outs. The southpaw also recorded 8 complete games, tops on the squad. Saleck turned in anotherfine year, leading the team with 62 hits and 15 home runs, both school records. Jim Best led the team in hitting with a healthy .402 average, but it is his base running that really stands out. Only a junior. Best already has 24

more career stolen bases than any other player in Academy history.

Lahoff not only recorded a 6-2 record as a pitcher, but he also acted as the team’s designated hitter and finished with a .398 average.

Rightfielder Deacon Winters led the team in doubles and triples and knocked in 56 runs, a school record. Freshman pitcher Tom Grinstead recorded a 2.15 earned run average, lowest on the staff and another school record.

Despite the loss of Marty Schmidt and Ed Schumacher, two solid infielders, Scot McLaughlin, a steady catcher, and Leatham, the Falcons should be a powerhouse again next year. With the host of fine j hitters returning, theFalcon pitching staff should have plenty of support.

RISNER TROPHY

Brig. Gen. Robinson Risner, USAF, (Ret) is a native of Mammoth Springs, Ok. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1943. Since then, he has flown such aircraft as the Lockheed P-38 Lightening, North American P-51 Mustang, North American F-86 Sabre, North American F-100 Supersabre, McDonnell- Douglas F-4 Phantom II, Fairchild (Republic) F-105 Thunderchief, and the General Dynamics F-111.

Risner was assigned to the 336th Fighter Interceptor squadronof Kimpo, Korea in May of 1952. While serving in Korea, he flew over 100 missions in the F-86. He was credited with eight kills, making him the 20th jet ace of the Korean War.

In Vietnam, Risner flew F-105's. He was shot down and captured in 1965, and spent seven years of the war as a POW.

The marble and bronze trophy which stands in front of Mitchell Hall was named in his honor. The trophy bears reliefsculptures of the planes which Risner flew during his distinguished career, and recognizes each year's outstanding graduate of the Tactical Fighter Weapons School, Nellis AFB, Nev.

Risner's superior courage and devotion to duty should serve as an inspiration to officers and airmen alike; a standard for all to follow.

Jumpmasters Enjoy Ninth Winning Season

The 1978 Collegiate Invitational Parachute competition was held in Deland, Fla. And the Wings of Blue walked away with 26 out of a possible 36 trophies, making this the ninth year in eleven that the team has won the national championship.

Outstanding performances were made by C2C Ted Osowski, who placed third in accuracy and first in style; C2C Dave Votif and C2C Tom Breen, who tiedfor second in style, and C2C Bob Chaman placed fourth in style. Cadet Osowski also captured first place overall in the intermediate category.

C1C Mike Jordan tied for first place in style, in the advanced category. In accuracy, C2C Scott German, C2C Derek Hess, and C2C Frank Ott swept first, second, and third places, respectively.

There was a four-way tie for first place in the master category; C1CSteve Dickman and classmate Tom Fleming walked away with two of the four, in accuracy, as they both touched the center of the target. C1C Paul Huberty won first place in style, and established a new collegiate style record. Not far behind were classmates Tom Fleming, Charles lott, Steve Dickman, and Drew Nelson. And because Cadet Fleming took first in accuracy and second in style, he brought home the first place overall trophy of the master category.

The Wings of Blue, who have been going strong for over ten years, are expecting more winning seasons in the future.

FLYING TEAM

Led by team captain C1C Garth Anderson, the Flying Team enjoyed one of its most successful years ever. The team qualified to go to the national championships by taking first place in the region. In April, the team went to Monroe, La. for the national air meet. The team made a very strong showing by finishing fourth of 26 other teams. C3C Dave Mason took first in Message Drop, and C3C Mike Arensmeyer finished 10th in the Computer Accuracy test. C2C Mike Naye was chosen as the team's most valuable member.

With six of the team's eight members returning next year, the Flying Team is looking forward to an even more successful future.

FALCON FEVER

tourth of Julv? No, not quite. These sparklers lit up the sky before the Notre Dame game, giving the Wing an unusual break from studies.

WE’VE GOTSPIRIT SO LET’S HEAR IT!

Fireworks, Terrazzo Toga Parties. Car Rallies. "Taking the Hill" and "taking it in" (and being kept in, until further notice ). And of course, mascot but cadets don't steal! Let's just call it "mascot-borrowing."(The Ram didn't complain. )

The Wing was plagued by another epidemic this year, a doctor's delight: Everyone was infected, but no one was ill. Unless you count the Brain Department.

Symptoms: crazy clothes, nukes, breaking ranks— a general desire to blow off steam.

Diagnosis: Falcon Fever!

An interesting addition to the usual agenda of spirit activities was the terrazzo fireworks display. Sponsored by the cheerleaders, the fireworks leant dazzling brilliance to the evening sky. No doubt Colordao Springs wondered about the occasion!

So who says we don't have spirit?

“Ladies and Gentlemen, the Cadet Wing of the United States Air Force Academy proudly presents the 1978 edition of the ‘Flight of Sound.’

But just who are these 100 men and women? In simple terms, they are musicians of the

highest calibre. The mission of the Drum & Bugle Corps, however, is two-fold.

First and foremost, the Corps supports the Cadet Wing at athletic events, pep rallies, and formations. But they also serve as a form of public relations for the

Academy. The Corps travels across the country, giving people an idea of what cadets are like. Just this season, they were invited to perform in the 90th Annual Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California, an honor which the Corps is not likely to forget.

This year’s OIC is Capt. Charles J. Whitechurch from the Cadet Plans Office. Working with him are three NCO’s, headed by MSgt. Rod Stewart, who is also the musical arranger for the Corps. The Corps Commander, who performs duties similar to a cadet Squadron Commander, is C1C Rick Veitschegger.

The Shroud Of Turin

It is a large piece of linen c loth, 14 feet 3 inches long, 3 feet 7 inches wide. It has been folded several times, and bears the scorch marks of fire. It is impregnated with ancient pollen fossils.

The image on the cloth is that of a man, viewed from both the front and the back, who had been whipped, crowned with thorns, pierced with nails through the wrists and feet, and stabbed in the side.

The image emits shades of intensity which, when plotted by a VP-8 image analyzer in degrees of height, produces a flawless three-dimensional figure. Neither man nor camera is capable of reproducing such a phenomenon.

And perhaps the most enigmatic quality of all: the image on the cloth is a photographic negative.

What is it?

Many believe that the man is Jesus, and that the cloth is actually His burial shroud.

Captains Eric J. Jumper and John P. Jackson, aided by other members of the Academy community, have been for several years studying the Shroud on their own time. And their efforts have not been in vain.

Last year, they obtained data from photographs of the •Shroud and, with the help of cadets, created a three-dimensional cardboard reproduction. Their data, however, failed to account for cloth drape. So in May, the original data was corrected, and a new figure was made. Capt. Jumper showed the minniature figure to cadets at a Physics Club meeting in January—and the reality of this new creation was startling. The plan is to build a life-size replica, and make a plaster mold from the cardboard statue. The mpld will be used to make more figures, the first of which will be presented to the Cadet Chapel for display.

But is it authentic?

Research has revealed many interesting facts, such as the three-dimensional and photographic qualities. And in November, the Academy's research team joined scientists from around the world for a week of testing on the Shroud when it was displayed at Turin, Italy, for the first time in several decades.

Unfortunately, none of the results have been conclusive. There is still room for "Doubting Thomases" to question the Shroud's authenticity. The Shroud of Turin remains a mystery which Pope Paul VI has called "so true, so profound, so human, so divine." Only time can unfold all its secrets.

The film-negative image (left) of the Shroud is actually positive, while the corresponding print (right) is a photographic negative.

Cadets work busily on the cardboard figure of the man on the cloth.

OF HEROES

by Maj Vance Forepaugh. USA

Polaris '79 would like to take a moment out in tribute to the Air Force Academy's 25th Anniversary and dedicate these two pages to one of USAFA's most courageous and heroic graduates - Lance Peter Sijan. The following article was written by Major Vance Forepaugh, U.S.A.. 37th Sq. AOC and originally appeared in the Apr/May '79 TALON.

Too frequently we hear that there are no modern day heroes of the caliber of the mythological Sam Damon or the legendary George Patton. The cynics who make these claims are lost in their delusions of doom. They have overlooked hundreds of prisoners of war who performed heroically for days, months and years as they languished in Viet Cong and North Vietnamese prisons. Captain Lance Sijan was one of them

THE BURDEN

In my earlier column I dealt with specific aspects of leadership which, if followed, will help insure your success Attempting to organize the subject into an orderly recipe is dangerous and assumes the author has some mystical power of influence and persuasion in his written words. Leadership is: not that easily quantified and organized! More than anything, leadership is a spirit, a feeling an internal radar guidance system that directs you through the fog of human relations. To develop leadership you must have courage, perseverance, patience and fortitude You must be willing to carry a multitude of burdens

It has been said that leadership does not exist unless it is needed. The truth of this statement is incontestable, but there is an extremely complex facet of human nature intricately woven in this thought. There is no human being so composed, so together or self-actualized that he cannot use some help (or leadership). “People problems” come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from t he readily apparent problems of girlfriends and 1 H money and schoolwork to complex core ] such as alcoholism, nervousness and dep Another incontestable fact is that a per® not perform to his potential f preoccupie a problem. But. very few people, you included, will not readily admit to our lead we have a problem, let alone admit th affecting our performance If the leade earned the subordinate’s respect, if there is I mutual trust and confidence, then maybe the problem can be dealt with. The effective leader not only has to have the perceptivity to recognize the symptoms of a problem, he must also be wise enough to deal with it, to prove himself worthy of the trust that has been demonstrated. The techniques of leadership to be employed are as varied as the problems and personalities involved. The temptation to know-it-all and pose as the one with all the answers must be suppressed. But, if the solution is close at hand the leader goes for it. It may be as simple as insuring the finance clerk corrects a pay discrepancy. In other cases, understanding and encouragement will help the individual work the problem out on his own. Or, perhaps the way must be paved for complete psychiatric evaluation and therapy.

Year after year you will learn more about

people and how to deal effectively with each person as an individual. However, year after year, your assignments will take you farther from the troops. All too quickly you will be insulated I from the individual soldier (cadet, airman, or —junior officer) by your staff and subordinate commanders. Again, theburden increases First you must deal with the fact that although vouaB at the zenith of your leadership a longer possible to be the total leader for in your unit You will not be able to interact with subordinates frequently enough to discover their problems, provide guidance, assist in their growth and development, and encourage them in their day-to-day endeavors As the commander, you have tremendous affect on your people simply by issuing an order. But vour ability to influence individuals with people-oriented leadership” will be limited to those with whom you come in frequent and close contact. So. along with your daily ration of paper shuffling, staff meetings, flying missions, etc or as a cadet: your daily ration of homework, attending classes, flying AM441, etc you have got to find time to effectively emphasize your philosophy of people-oriented leadership with your subordinate commanders As stated earlier, you can affect your subordinates simply by issuing a"h ortfedjw Many leaders go down the drain because they attempt to lead, as well as command. by« overusing this inherent factor military organizational functioning By this, I mean, that as we progress through our careers we have,a tendency to look critically at those who followB| If you doubt me-can you say you have R-* looked at the class behind yours and comments that it just did not compare to your cl, naturally follows is a tendency to hold Close to yourself, fearful that your subordinates! Rvill not niet your ejqBtations, you limit their ^ authority and freedom of action and attempt to run the entire unit from your ivory tower While I you may be effective in theshort run, you are r stifling the development of your subordinates both as commanders and as leaders. The burden] at this point is to be willing to risk allowin; subordinate leaders to) experience. Some solid people-oriented leadership on your part will insure success Leadership is not something found only between upperclassmen and doolies, or officers and airmen A firstie can be a leader to another upperclassman just as a colonel can be a leader to a major Again, it requires courage, perseverance, patience and fortitude. It means that sooner or later you will be answering to your boss because of an error by one of your younger leaders. Perhaps risking your career to insure that your subordinates develop into the best possible commanders and leaders is a burden! I am remindedof an analogy authored by Brig General Richards Commandant of Cadets. He equates the job of the cadet squadron air officer commanding (AOC) to that of an instructor pilot (IP). He states that if the AOC runs the squadron as the true commander then he limits the lessons of experience for the cadets Likewise, the I P who rarely allows his student to take control of the aircraft will produce an incompetent pilot. On the other hand, if the AOC allows the squadron to run without any guidance the result will be similar to the IP who allows the student the freedom to crash the trainer aircraft. All senior-subordinate relationships, at the Academy and in the Air Force, fit into this analogy. People learn by first being taught and supervised Expertise comes through experience, by doing, by being actively involved. Learning leadership is no exception.

Last month I discussed the need for high standards in the military. It is rare indeed to find a commander who does not desire his unit to achieve the highest standards possible. This desire may exist for many reasons. In the model of Courtney Massengale in Once an Eagle, a commander may be using the unit as a vicarious extension of his ego or as a**‘ticket to punch" on the way to greater tank and prestige. On the other hand he may be a commander like Sam Damon and understand that higfrVandards are the mark of a true prateMkmal He intuitively knows that success in combat®]’’ killing the other dumb bastard ...” Patton) is achieved throue;ii high standards in discipline and I training. In going after high standards the leader p will have to make tough decision§Hhat will ofteiJ by unpopular It weiUtf be a lot i^asier tomakathe unit look good un paper r shine fropr* false veneer of mickey mouse activities. But, being temporarily unpopular with your boss can be tolerated if it means higher unit standards and more professionalism in the ranks. The great Confederate general, T.J. "Stonewall” Jackson, tolerated unpopularity. He drove his troops unmercifully However, they won victory after victory! And Billy Mitchell shouldered the disgust and wrath ofhis superiors as he fought to upgrade the effectiveness of our military through the proper application of air power Leaders, like Jackson and Mitchell, won their place in our military history by carrying very heavy burdens!

He would live in the North Vietnamese jungle with no food and little water for some 45 days. Virtually immobilized, he would propel himself backwards on his elbows and buttocks toward what he hoped was freedom. He was alone. He would be joined later with two other Americans, and in short, fading, in-and-out periods of consciousness and lucidity, would tell them his story.

Former Capt. Guy Gruters. who was to be one of Sijan's cellmates later, recalled:

'He said he’d go for two or three days and nights as long as he possibly could and then he’d be exhausted and sleep. As soon as he’d wake up he’d start again, always traveling east. You’re talking 45 days now without food, and it was a max effort!”

Col. Bob Craner. the older cellmate in Hanoi, picked up the story:

“When he couldn’t drag himself anymore and said, "This is the end." he saw he was on a dirt road. He lay there for a day. maybe, until a truck came along and the men picked him up."

Incredibly, after a month and a half of clawing, clutching, dragging and hurting. Sijan was found three miles from where he had initially parachuted into the jungle.

Horribly emaciated and with the flesh on his buttocks worn to his hipbones. Sijan still had some fight left.

"He said they took him to a place where they laid him on a mat and gave him some food," Craner related. "He said he waited until he felfe he was getting a little stronger. When there just one guard there. Sijan beckoned him over. When the guy bent over to see What was the matter, Sijan told me. 1 just let him have it. Wham!”

“When I got a look at the poor devil. I wretched." said Craner. "He was so thin, and every bone in his body was visible Maybe 20 percent of his body wasn’t open sores or open flesh. Both hipbones were exposed where the flesh had been worn away."

I have never had my heart broken like that,” said Gruters. who remembered Sijan as a 220-pound football player at the academy. "He had no muscle left and looked ^helpless."

The medic later inserted an intravenous tube into Sijan's arm. but Sijan. fascinated with it in his subconscious haze pulled it out several times. Thus. Craner and Gruters took turns staying awake with him at night.

"One night,” Craner said, "a guard opened the little plate on the door and looked in. and there was Lance beckoning to the guard. It was the same motion he told me he had made to the guy in the jungle, and I could just see what was going through the back reaches of his mind: ‘If I can just get that guy close enough

Craner remembers that Sijan once asked them to help him exercise so he could build up his strength for another escape attempt. "We got him propped up on his cot and waved his arms around a few times, and that satisfied him. Then fcthe was exhausted.”

v At another point, Sijan became lucid enough to ask Craner. "How about going out and getting me a? burger and french fries?

"Lance was always as little of a hindrance to us as he couldbe." said Gruters. "He could have asked for help any one of a hundredthousand times, but he never asked for a damned thing! There was no way Bob and I could feel sorry for ourselves.”

Famous, Fantastic and Foiled SPIRIT MISSIONS

Spirit. Around the Academy, an often used and often misunderstood word. So many things have been done in the name of spirit it would be very difficult to place any kind of definition on it. Perhaps the only way to really understand it is to see it in action. We thought it would be interesting for this issue commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the Academy to recollect some of the more memorable spirit missions and spirit-related activities that have been done by cadets in the past 25 years. The vast majority of this article was gathered by talking to USAFA grads about what things they remembered most while they were cadets. Interviews of this nature, though, are usually inaccurate as to specifics so we have not attempted to date the information presented in this article. We would also like to say that we do not condone nor condemn anything we present here. We merely thought you might find it as interesting as we did as we researched it.

Perhaps the place where spirit is most evident is football season. And not too unexpected, one of the more memorable football spirit missions involved an interservice rival-Navy. Apparently, one of the Air Force cadets had a father in MAC. One night this cadet and two others took off illegally and got a ride on a MAC aircraft to Andrews AFB. They rented a car, put on suits and wentto Annapolis posed as Senator’s Aids claiming to be investigating plans to expand the Naval Academy in order to get a tour of the area. They found out where Navy kept its goat and later returned to steal it away. However, they were stopped by the military police and almost arrested until a lieutenant colonel stopped the policemen and told them that he would take care of it. From there the goat was taken to Andrews and taken back to USAFA on another MAC airplane. The goat didn’t take too well to the change of climate and developed severe altitude sickness. By the time the animal was returned, it was not in very good shape.

Navy’s goat has not been the only beast to fall prey to Falcon kidnappers. Wyoming’s pony has always been well within range of a well-planned midnight strike. Unfortunately some of these strikes suffered heavy “casualties” when discovered in “enemy” territory (particularly around Frat circle) and the would-be abductors had to kick in the after burners to make it back to USAFA by daybreak. All efforts have not been in vain though, and Cowboy Bob has visited USAFA more than once, most recently, in the fall of ’76. “Liberating” enemy mascots must be done with the utmost of care, however. A captured CSU Ram a few ye ars ago, accidently broke its leg while being taken up the staff tower at the noon meal. The animal had to be destroyed which caused many hard feelings between the Wing and the Colorado State students. The Wing chipped in and bought the

school a new ram, but could not fully amend the damage done.

The Army and Navy officers serving at USAFA have been the subject of more than a few spirit missions during particular weeks of the football season.

One Army Officer, who was an AOC, opened his office door one morning of Army Week to find a mule grazing on several bales of hay. He later found his office furniture neatly arranged on the parade field. Another exchange officer opened his door and found a room stuffed completely full of newspapers. One of the greatest stunts pulled on an exchange officer occurred when a certain officer was serving as OIC. As he stood waiting for the Wing to march into Mitch’s, a cadet drove his car, a late model Oldsmobile, onto the terrazzo and parked it right in front of him. Several burly football players then jumped out of the car and wielding sledge hammers, totally destroyed the car in a matter of seconds as the officer observed in total shock. Little did we know that earlier in the morning, the Wing had secretly purchased the car from the officer’s wife.

Midnight spirit missions are by no means a recent phenomenon at USAFA. Even when the Wing was still up at Lowry, cadets stole through the night, spreading propaganda in engaging enemy forces in psychological warfare. One night before a Denver University football game, a task force paid a visit to DU Stadium. With superior skill and courage they sneaked into the locker rooms and painted the DU helmets with the proper colors (silver and blue, of course). Then, before leaving they white-washed the stadium and lined a large USAFA down the middle of the field. Meanwhile, back at the base, a few adventurers were busy painting a huge Beat DU on the roof of the Comm-Shop. Of course, early the next morning clean up teams were dispatched to thestadium and there were still a few cadets walking around on the Commandant’s roof cleaning it up when the buses left carrying the Wing to the game. Later, a detail was dispatched to replace the SOD which had been permanently burned by the lime.

One of the greatest examples of truly spontaneous spirit (as opposed to mandatory spirit) occurred before a USAFA-Nebraska football game in 1963. The Wing hoped to go to the game at Lincoln but no plans were made, so one night toward the end of call to quarters, between 1000 and 2000 cadets staged a pilgrimage to the Superintendent’s house. Some walked, some rode in Firstie cars, but all cheered the entire way and then staged a massive pep rally on the Superintendent’s lawn. Their spirit was so great that plans were quickly formulated to take a contingent to the game.

Cadets have always been fascinated with aircraft, and the airplanes around the Academy grounds have been painted, pushed, pulled, and even rode in many

spirit missions. While the Wing was still at Lowry AFBin Denver, some midnight pilots appropriated a small towing vehicle and proceeded to tow a F-100 over into their dormitory quadrangle. After the move to the present site, the small X-4 suddenly became the most popular airplane. When the Academy was built, the X-4 was lowered by crane into the Arnold Hall quadrangle, presumably for eternity. However, a group of ingenious cadet (engineering majors no doubt) figured out that by tipping the plane’s wings at precisely the right angle, the plane would just fit through the portal to the terrazzo. They then rolled the plane over to the air gardens, carried it across the moat (the air gardens had fountains then) and set it on the island where it currently sets. After consulting an engineering firm (who said the plane could only be removed by a crane) the Commandant declared amnesty would be granted to whoever moved the plane if they would put it back. The original instigators replaced the plane but the secret of how to tip the wingsgot out. After that, the X-4 made multitudes of trips (back to the air gardens onto spirit hill, across the academic bridges, etc.) Rumor has it that it has run through three sets of Good Years! (We couldn’t confirm this one.) In 1972 the plane was officially placed at its present location and filled with cement As you all know of course, this only sparked the challenging spirit and the next morning the plane was once again at some far corner of the terrazzo.

Another notorious plane was the F-106. It was an integral part of all pep rallies, as cadets would ride and push it around the terrazzo. Its journeys include practically all of the entire cadet area including a confirmed trip down the stairs from the honor court to the terrazzo. Allegedly it escaped some would-be pilots one night while they were “taxiing” down the “Bring Me Men” ramp, rolling freely across the clinic parking lot, before coming to a crashing halt at the parade wall. The F-104 has partially taken over the 106’s role and has been seen in a variety of locations. Recently it was found impersonating a dental assistant’s car in the lot below Mitch’s.

Hell Week has always been a target for displays of spirit, - some successful and some not so successful. The F-106 was a victim to a more memorable one. One class, whose color was red, decided to paint the F-106 red for hell week. The instigators had their girlfriends buy the paint emphasizing the need for water based paint. However, the girls got oil based paints by mistake and without thinking, the fourthclassmen painted the airplane anyway. So the fourthclass spent a good part of June Week with brushes and kerosene cleaning it off. The Class of ’78 also pulled off a very successful spirit mission during Hell Week. One night they

all sneaked out with bedsheets and put a gigantic “78” on the flat iron that could be seen from 1-25.

There also were hell week spirit missions which perhaps started out as good ideas but didn’t last too long. One year, the fourthclassmen in CS-11 decided to end hell week early. They greeted the upperclass that morning with such statements as “You know, Sam, it’s been a long year. But it’s over now.” However, the surprised upperclassmen eventually got the reins back and the fourthclass finished out hell week. Another unsuccessful stunt involved a class that decided to be “silent” and not greet or respond to questions. It lasted a couple of hours before the class gave it up. Finally, it has also been rumored the one class had planned a massive exodus to a bivouac area inthe mountains for the duration of hell week but the wing commander and Commandant caught wind of the idea and stifled it before it could be carried out.

Spirit is not only manifested in such activities as football games or hell week. A lot of times, spirit activities were intended merely as a way to keep up morale during the depressing days of the “dark ages” from Christmas to Spring Break. These activties were known as “gloom games” in the old days but their occurrence and purpose still exist.

One of the more interesting “gloom games” was Babo-bombs. A Babo-bomb is a can of Babo Cleanser with a cherry bomb stuck inside of it. The explosion of such a device in someone’s room would put a white coating of cleanser on everything which was nearly impossible to clean off. The practice continued until one day someone wired one up to the class lights in Mitchell Hall. When the light was turned on, the bomb went off leaving a cloud of dust on the staff tower. It was then found out that any explosive device which is set off on a military installation must be investigated by the FBI. And thus ended the days of Babo-bombing.

Elephant racing was another such “gloom game.” In the past, the large

dumpsters along the North road by Vandenberg Hall hadwheels on them. Cadets would push them to the top of the Battle ramp, climb in and race. There was also lurking, where cadets would take pictures of themselves peering over walls with only the hands andfaces from their noses up, visible. Then there was seeing how many doolies could be put in a closet at one time; streaking; and putting trash cans on the flagpole. All in the name of spirit.

It was also spirit to interrupt certain military activities. It used to be that there was a haircut inspection every week at the same exact time. So a fewcadets decided to plan something for one of these inspections. They arranged to have a certain Denver radio station play the theme song from “Hair” at precisely the time the haircut inspection started.

There was also a time when an IRI was planned for one cold Saturday morning so a couple of enterprising cadets got pipewrenches and opened all the fire hydrants. By morning, the terrazzo was a sheet of ice but the IRI was held anyway. The cadets couldn’t slip out of that one so easily. Then there is always the one where all the parade field markers were stolen the night before a parade but which seemed to show up miraculously when the threat of not signing out became a clear possibility.

One person who has been the target of more spirit missions than most is the OIC. One of the most memorable ones involves an OIC who, while sleeping, had his pants stolen. At this time the chapel was being built and only the spires were up. Apparently, the thief climbed up one of the spires and left the pants. In the morning, an irrate and sheet-clothed OIC refused to allow the cadets to go to breakfast until the offending cadet confessed. The cadet never did and the wing ended up missing breakfast and being late for class. Another OIC lost his pants in a similiar manner but found his the next morning atop the flagpole. Still another OIC awoke to find his Volkswagen

in the Air Gardens—when there were still fountains. There have no doubt been many cases where the OIC or Command Post (Security Flight for you purists) have been the brunt of such of such pranks but these are the one’s that stuck out most in the minds of the officers we interviewed.

Some of the most ingenious are those missions undertaken to promote individual squadrons. The Flat Iron had long been the billboard for squadron numbers. Many hundreds of doolies have ventured out in the middle ofthe night with sheets in hand only to wake the next morning to find that some other squadrons had made the great trek a little bit later in the night. Three of the absolute all-time-great projects were undertaken by 30th, 19th, and 8th. 30th Squadron members constructed a working replica of the Wright glider and one daring soul actually got airborne in the craft off Spirit Hill during a noon-meal formation. 19th Squadron created a huge playboy sign and hung it on the east side of A-Hall. After being “asked” to remove the sign 19th Squadron made a huge “Scrooge McDuck” sign which they hung in the same place a couple of weeks later. 8th Squadron used a black plastic tarpaulin with a large white “8” painted on it and transformed the planetarium into a giant 8-ball in one of the greatest missions of all times.

There are thousands upon thousands of spirit missions which were conducted but not recorded. We have touched on only a few of those we learned about by talking to graduates. We thank all of those grads who let us pick their memories to put this together and think it fitting to pass on some of their advice as well. All the grads we talked to agreed that spirit missions helped promote a better attitude within the wing, but stressed that they must be done with common sense. Destruction should never be the purpose of a mission, and those undertaking the missions have to be ready to repair, repaint, or replace anything that accidently gets harmed. Happy 25th USAFA.

BRIG. GEN. HAROLD W. TODD

Class of ’59

.was the first graduate of the Air Force Academy to be promoted to star rank. He was presented his new insignia in November 1978, by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. David C. Jones.

Todd graduated 34th out of a class of 207, and was named outstanding cadet in foreign languages. During his firstclass year, he served on group staff, and was a squadron flight commander. He received his navigator wings upon graduation.

Pilot wings were earned in 1960.Todd was a B-47 pilot in the early '60's, and flew 156 combat missions in Southeast Asia in the B-52.

In 1970, he was transferred to Barksdale AFB, La., home of Strategic Air Command's Second Air Force Headquarters. At Barksdale, Todd was an air operations staff officer, special projects officer, and later an aide to the base

commander. The following year found Todd overseas at Headquarters, U.S. Air Force in Europe (USAFE) where he served on the staff of the commander-in-chief of USAFE, and as commander of the Fourth Allied Tactical Air Force. Todd, during his European tour, wrote the NATO study which led to the creation of the Allied Air Forces of Central Europe.

Todd entered the National War College at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. in 1974. He later served for 14 months as special assistant to theChiefof Staff of the Air Force. In 1976, he was appointed chief of the Air Staff's Concept Development Division, followed in early 1977 by duty as chief ofthe Readiness/NATO Staff Group in the office of the vice chief of staff. Todd currently serves as executive assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

The unique ice sculptures and food displays are a oncp-in-a-life-time experience for many cadets and their guests. The Mitchell Hall food staff prepares all food served in the buffet and begin carving the ice sculptures months in advance for the gala event.

Despite an early morning snowfall, a steady rain drizzle 3 hours prior to graduation and temperatures in the low 40's, the Class of 1979 continued tradition and graduated in Falcon Stadium. The chaplain put in a special plea during the invocation and miraculously the rain stopped and the skies cleared. (leneral Lew Allen, Air Force Chief of Staff, gave a short commencement speech to the 898 graduating firstclassmen, stressing the need of today’s Air Force for a highly professional and eommited officer corps. A new tradit ion was started this year during commencement. As each cadetreceived his diploma he saluted his classmate in recognition of a mutual achievement.

The weather made it difficult to believe it was 30 May until the hats flew into the air just as the Thunderbirds swept over the stadium. Bundied in raincoats, oversweaters, the Lieutenants, their guests and relatives and Academy personnel watched the traditional Thunderbird air show in tribute to the last all male class - the Class of 1979.

You should be pleasantly surprised with this year's academic section. Traditionally, this section has been a part of the book you just skip over. However, Mike Van Laan has worked up an excellent and entertaining academic memorial for this 25th Anniversary edition.

Academics has always held a special challenge for cadets. It is the ultimate obstacle between BCT and graduation, but somehow most make it through core courses, majors courses, core courses, P.E., core courses, Military Studies, core courses, etc.

Squadrons had Academic Sergeants, there were only two core Physics courses, there was only one core Mech course, Geography was a core course, 1° Military Studies was only ten lessons long, 1° Military Studies was pass/fail, 1° Physical Education electives were graded,

there were graded computer programs, there was graded homework, there were “take-home" tests, they gave the same GR on both M and T days, cadets were disenrolled for having less than a 2.00, there were six periods in the day, 4°'s had 30 minutes between classes, you could sleep in the morning during

The New Dean

Brigadier General William A. Orth was commissioned in the U.S. Air Force, following his graduation from West Point in 1954. He attended pilot training at Bartow Air Base, Fla., and Laredo Air Force Base, Texas. His career has also included such places as Perrin AFB, Tex., Westover AFB, Mass., RAF Station, Bentwaters, England, Senbach Air Base, Germany, Headquarters, U.S. Air Forces Europe, Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Vance AFB, Oklahoma, England AFB, La., BienHoa Air Base, Vietnam, Tan Son Nhut Air Base, Vietnam, Offutt Air Base, Neb., and U.S. Air Force Academy, Colo., where he is currently the Dean of Faculty.

General Orth received a master of science degree in mechanical engineering in 1961 from Purdue University and a doctorate in applied mathematics from Brown University in 1970.

He has been an instructor and assistant professor in the Department of Mechanics (1960-61), and later in the Department of Mathematics (1966-1970). In 1974, he was assigned as permanent professor and head of the Department of Physics. He became Dean on August 1, 1978.

Gen. Orth's decorations include: the Legion of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal with 10 oak leaf clusters, and the Air Force Commendation Medal.

The Dean Speaks:

On March 2, 1979, POLARIS interviewed Brigadier General Orth on his perceptions and feelings, as the Dean, about the Academy.

POLARIS: What makes up a good education?

ORTH: I put equal emphasis on academics, military training, and athletic development. A very strong academic education that's rather broad and basic and forms a building black for an officer's Air Force career is an important fundamental.

Equally important are military training and leadership. I'd also include in both of those, education and training associated with ethics, honor, and topics related to those concepts. Again, the athletic portion is very important. The Academy education itself needs to be as it is now: a composite of those three areas.

POLARIS: Academically, how are Academy graduates doing compared to other college graduates?

ORTH: Academy graduates always have, are now, and hopefully will continue to stack up in a very excellent manner against graduates from any school across the country. I think that is shown by their performance on the GREs, by their performance in scholarship competitions, but mostly by the reputation established at graduate schools they have attended.

POLARIS: Do you have any major changes planned for the future?

ORTH: I think you will see an evolutionaryperiod, and I think you will see change take place as a result of that. But I would likethat change to be the composite result of inputs from the permanent professors and the faculty council.

POLARIS: Do you think academic standards today are the same as they have been in the past?

ORTH: In the overall sense, I think that academic standards are the same. I believe one measure of academic standards is the quality ofwork required to obtain a given grade. During the period of time when most of the nation went into a very high grade inflation and when many very excellent schools went into pass/fail options-the Academy did not follow. I think that's a very high credit to this institution and to its leadership during that time.

POLARIS: What should the relationship between instructor and student be at the Academy?

ORTH: Well, at the present time that varies quite a bitfrom department to department, and from instructor to instructor, I'm probably a little harderlined than some other people. I think that a high degree of personal familiarity is not appropriate because of the officer/cadet relationship. But, I also oppose a militaristic enviroment. That leaves a large area in-between. And I think it's appropriate to have a wide area of operation, because every officer has a unique personality as does every cadet.

I'd avoid both ends of the spectrum, very easy or very hard. I believe in an instructorstudent relationship that is appropriately based upon both the personality of the instructor and the student, within the confines of the military aspects of this Academy.

POLARIS: Should cadets who are outstanding academically, but deficient militarily, or athletically, be allowed to remain at the Academy?

ORTH: No. I feel very strongly that all three aspects of the mission are crucial to the development of a career officer. A cadet who fails to meet minimum standards in any of those three areas should be disenrolled.

POLARIS: Does the Academy education mean as much today as it did ten years ago?

ORTH: That's a hard question. Yes, I very definitely think so. I think the education that you have with a well balanced core, coupled with the opportunity to have a major, is, in fact, an education superior to the one which I had.

POLARIS: What advice do you have to cadets in general, including new second lieutenants?

ORTH: Once you leave, your career really begins. It's an opportunity to start over. First impressions are very important. An individual needs to work hard, seek additional responsibilities, and strive to fulfill those responsibilities. As Lt Catton told you; 'work hard, be very proud of what you are.' By what you are, I don't only mean a graduate from here; but I mean a young Air Force officer who has a fine career ahead.

One last thing I would say is that a graduate from the Academy should never have to tell anyone that. If our graduates learn from the Academy experience the things which it attempts to give, they’ll never have to tell anyone. People see by their actions, by the kind of officers they are, that they came from someplace special.

Aeronautical Engineering

The Department of Aeronautics has pride. It strives to send more cadets to R-flight than any other department. This spring it appeared that they would not reach their goal until some devious, and quickly promoted instructor solved the dilemma. For their next CR, thermo students were given an impossible problem, thereby insuring a healthy R-flight attendance!

The faculty was, however, involved in other productive work. Trying to understand unsteady separated airflow, they developed a technique of characterizing airflow by laser and it works. Such an achievement is another reason to be proud.

Astronautics and Computer Science

Whether on the ground or in deep space, an Astronautics major can have an interesting time. The department is currently working on a Satellite Data System for the Space Shuttle Orbiter, and plans to do more such projects for the shuttle. The Astro Club travelled to White Sands Missile Range, where they observed precision anti-air tracking systems.

The computer science side of the department reorganized its core course to focus on software, and scientific and managerial application. Also, a network of four minicomputers, called Falcon Net, was installed to ease the load on "Billy." Despite his antiquity, "Billy Burroughs" lives on!

Samuel Goldwyn, 1948

The Behavioral Science and Leadership Department was involved in a number of interesting experiments this year. The faculty and cadets studied such things as biofeedback, job productivity, flying skills, hell week, the attrition rate, coed dorms, and the stress placed on SERE students. LtCol Tierman and LtCol Galluscio worked on a project funded by the Defense Intelligence Agency, analyzing the state of the art in Soviet Behavioral Sciences.

Believe it or not, there were also some interesting classes! BS 490 travelled to Lowry AFB to view its Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center. If one wanted to debate current issues, such as the ERA, in terms of psychology, he should have taken BS 360. Although usually associated with sleeping, the Behavioral Science Department was actually very active this year.

Bio Sci 110 Final Exam: Create life. Estimate the differences in subsequent human culture if this form of life had developed 500 mi llion years earlier, giving special attention to its probable effect on the English parliamentary system. Prove your thesis.

The terror of most doolies, the Chemistry Department actually has some practical uses. Under a grant from the Department of Energy, the Chemistry Department presents an energy workshop to high schools, colleges, and civic organizations all over Colorado. If you remember from your doolie year, the workshop consists of a large board with energy resources indicated by lights, and the idea is to see how long the world will have energy.

The biology side of the department, full of doctors, is known for its relaxed atmosphere. One "real-world" problem researched is the leakage in Gulfport, Louisiana of Herbicide Orange, the defoliant used in Vietnam. C1C John Lund assisted Maj.Cairney in studying the degree of bio-degradation, possible health hazards, and the possibility of using micro-organisms to solve the problem. Such "hands-on" experience is invaluable to Biological Science majors. Also, C1C Scott Van Valkenburg received the Ross MacFarland Award for the best student paper submitted to the Aerospace Medical Association meeting. Cadet Van Valkenburg researched the effect of high "G" forces on the heart during his summer research program at Brooks AFB, and presented his paper to the association in Washington, D.C.

Civil Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, and Materials

The Civil Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, and Materials Department was involved in several interesting trips and projects this year. Students investigated engineering techniques at the Pueblo Steel Mill and at NORAD. They also visited the gigantic wooden tressle at Kirtland AFB, N.M., and civil engineering research facilities at Tyndall AFB, Florida. Probably the most popular trip was to the Coors brewery, and what this has to do with engineering is obvious to everyonef?). Students also attended regional Civil Engineering conferences at the University of Utah and at Kansas State, and participated in concrete canoe races. Sometimes it seems like those CEM majors think they can do anything!

What economics and management have to do with geography is beyond us. On the other hand, perhaps it is proper that three misfits should be thrown together as one department. Problems at Mitchell Hall, financial gaming, and downtown business consulting are but a few of the many problems management class projects address. The nearly fatal boredom of economics was happily interrupted for some students by visiting professor, Dr. George Staller, from Cornell University. Between his frequent "Czech jokes" and his wife's fantastic outpouring of food, one could almost see the value of economics. Geography continued their tradition of "out in the field." Cadets enjoyed trips to the Central Rockies to observe the effects of mining operations, and to Big Thompson Canyon to see the results of the disasterous flood.

Economics, Management, and Geography

Econ 202 Final: Develop a realistic plan for refinancing the national debt. Trace the possible effects of your plan in the following areas: Cubism, the Donatist controversy, SALT II, the wave theory of light, gas shortage, the automobile industry. Outline a method for preventing these effects. Criticize this method from all possible points of view. Point out the deficiencies in your point of view, as demonstrated in your answer to the last question.

Electrical Engineering

Who's the biggest geke in your squadron? I'll lay odds that he majors in EE. Seriously though, the Electrical Engineering Department, besides teaching core courses, is involved in many activities. Guest lecturers discussed such things as CB transceivers and bionics. The EE club meets with the Pikes Peak chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and participates in its contests. The nation-wide Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers sponsors an annual contest for EE projects, and C1C Walt Davidson is represented USAFA. He developed a collision avoidance system which can make a robot move next to and just touch an object. The system has three sensors: a doppler radar for long distances, an optical sensor for moving the robot to aboutfive inches, and a physical sensor which makes the robot touch the object.

English

The English Department is more realistic than any other at the Academy; at least they know that nobody reads the assignments! Surprisingly enough, some cadets are brave enough to take non-core English, and find that they are actually fun. This year, English 495 featured old flicks and other cinematic delights with Capt. Ray McKelvey, including such classic as "Fritz the Cat," "Slaughterhouse Five," and "2001: A Space Odessey." And some cadets are trying out their skills at television production. The "Blue Tube" is now an award winner; both regional and national educational television groups have recognized the incredible talents and achievements of our own budding "Saturday Night Live" and "Six O'clock News" group in the DFIT studios. Rumor has it that Walter Cronkite refused a "Blue Tube" job because he was afraid of getting a B!

Foreign Languages

(BELOW) C4C Thomas listens to a French tape.

The only problem with the Foreign Language Department is that no one can understand them. Actually though, each section of the Foreign Language Department, besides teaching the language, sponsors clubs to give students a taste of the area's culture. This year the French Club treated cadets to such things as slide presentations, French films, and a bouillabaisse party. Also, the exchange program to the French Air Academy was an outstanding experience for about five lucky cadets. The trip to Moscow and Leningrad during spring break highlighted the Russian Club's activities. In order to give some "real world" experience, the Spanish instructors organized correspondence between Spanish students and Latin American penpals. Several Spanish students look forward to the summer trip to the Argentine Air Academy. For the Eastern languages, a club was just formed this year, and began planning activities. Although the German courses are alive and kicking, the club was not as active. Overall, howethe Department of Foreign Languages was busy with out-of-the-classroom activities.

Span 101 Final: Some 2500 crazed aborigines are storming the classroom. Calm them. You may use any ancient language except Latin or Greek.

Describe the history of the Papacy from its origin to the present day, concentrating especially, but not exclusively, on its social, political, economic, religious, and philosophical impact upon Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Be brief, concise, and specific.

C2C Townsend (President of the History Club) and C2C David (Vice-President of the History Club) admire the flag which was flying over Pearl Harbor on December 7. 1941.

History

Besides teaching the usual core and major's courses, the History Department played a large role in the celebration ofthe Air Force Academy's 25th anniversary. The department held a series of dining-ins where some of the "old leaders," including our own Colonel Montavan, spoke about USAFA and cadet life in its early years. Furthermore, Colonel Caine and Major Borowski produced a film entitled "On the Thresholdof Tradition," depicting the evolution of the Academy during its first 25 years.

Sponsored by the History Club, such speakers as General Curtis LeMay, Lt. General Ira Eaker, and Luftwaffe General Steinhoff described their experiences. History majors also benefited from first-hand knowledge by taking a special course on the Vietnam conflict, taught by Colonel Reynolds, a former prisonerof-war.

When you think about it, it's only natural the Law Department should be involved in the shadier aspects of cadet life. For instance, every honor board and show-cause board have an advisor from the Law Department. Andwhen a cadet is dismissed from the Wing the Law Department reviews the situation. Those lawyers also investigate the legal implications of everything from life insurance to car accidents. Actually, the Law Department is a great help in most of these cases, and becomes particularly favored when secondclassmen are buying their cars.

The Department also manages to teach a few courses. The two core courses seem to be some ofthe most practical around. In Law 400, District Attorney Robert Russell's annual homicide and rape slide show was quite an eye-opener to most firstclassmen.

Law 400 Final: Compare and contrast the Uniform Code of Military Justice with the judicial system of Mongolia as administered by Genghis Kahn. Include all milestone cases, rights of the defendant, and all exceptions, if any.

C2C Olwell, C1C Buckley, and C1C Sveska get on each other's case.

Math

Make sure that your shoes are shined and belt buckle polished before going to math class. Infamous for applying liberal doses of forms 10 to cure any type of cadet sluthfulness, the Mathematics Department will be sure to get you militarily if it can't get you academically. On the other hand, two years of core courses pay off for most cadets when they encounter advanced engineering problems. And math majors work on such fuzzy projects as "noisy metrices" and "minimal stable realization." C1C Robert Rowe has been working with the USAFA strategic C3 study group, helping to create a computerized mathematical model which describes the process ofalert force aircraft fleeing from their bases when under attack by enemy SLBMs. Whether one is a poli-sci buff or a math major, this department certainly leaves its mark on every cadet.

Final: It x equals pi r squared, construct a formula showing how long it would take a fire ant to drill a hole through a dill pickle, if the length-girth ratio of the ant to the pickle were 98.17:1.

Although Philosophy 310 hospitalizes more cadets for bruised noses and whiplash than any other course at the USAFA, the Philosophy Department really is important. Fifty percent of the faculty are squadron professional ethics advisors, and the department provides the theory underlying the honor/ethics code. Also, the Philosophy Department serves the needs of the entire Department of Defense on ethics education, giving about 25 talks each year to the Air War College and to bases around the country.

Despite the excellent Fine Art facilities at the Academy, most cadets do not even consider taking advantage of them. By taking the studio art course, one can try his hand at painting, sculpturing, welding, etching, bronze casting, and making pottery. The music appreciation course also helps "culture" some cadets. C1C Ernie Hough conned the Fine Arts faculty into approving his 499 course for organ practice. Imagine getting three semester hours for banging away at the keys!

Philos 310 Final: Sketch the development of human thought and estimate its significance. Compare with the development of any other kind of thought.

Physics nuts had the opportunity to go on severai interesting trips this year. The club toured the laser and atomic energy labortories at Kirkland AFB, N.M., and visited Rocky Flats nuclear plant. But the highlight ofthe year had to be the trip to Malstrom AFB, Montana, to experience a total solar eclipse.

The Class of 79 would like to thank the Physics Department for the new Physics 411 core course. It gave a last warning never to pick up a physics textbook again.

Political Science

The Political Science Department contributed greatly to cadets' awareness of the "outside world" through their distinguished speakers program. Such people as Jack Anderson, Admiral Stocksdale and others exposed cadets to many viewpoints of the world.

Several Political Science majors on summer research programs made their presence known with their outstanding achievements. Two cadets went to Washington, D.C., and wrote foreign analysis studies which are still being circulated in the Pentagon. Furthermore, one cadet travelled to NATO headquarters in Brussells, and while working (?) there, dated General Haig's daughter. The way things are going, some Political Science majors already think they are big shots!

Poli Sci 412 Final: There is a red telephone on the desk beside you. Start World War III. Report at length on its sociopolitical effects, if any.

Physical Education Department.

The Physical Education Department gave the firstclasscadets a break (the only one they got), and made the elective P.E. courses pass/fail. Firstclass electives were racquet ball, ice skating, badmitten, advanced golf, advanced tennis, and aerobics. Besides taking two of the electives, firstclasscadets also had to take lifesaving and unarmed combat courses. Secondclasscadets had to take water survival ("tower leaping"), golf and volleyball. Thirdclasscadets tried their skills at racquetball, squash, tennis and took a course in physical fitness methods. All fourthclasscadets had swimming and gymnastics, the males took boxing and wrestling, while the females took fencing and physical conditioning.

Military Studies

Military Studies added a new touch this year, MS 420 was graded for the firstclass cadets. That wasn't so bad, but then it was increased to 20 lessons, instead of 10, as it was last year. The secondclass cadets suffered through a course on miscellaneous military information, which included writing two papers. Thirdclass cadets had their fun getting experience in public speaking and presenting military briefs. Military Studies for the fourthclass cadets was designed to give a quick introduction to the military and the Air Force and included such topics as Air Force jobs, U.S. aircraft and Air Force morality.

Library

Library Staff: LtCol Benjaman C. Clidden, Capt Pamela A. Sexton, SSgt John H. Moore, Jr., John Arneson, Virginia Bak, Don Barrett, Lou Bassetti, Bob Burke, Joan Coleman, Bill Conklin, Margaret Dawes, Phyllis DeHart, Jay Denning, Jim Devaney, Liz Fleenor, Betty Fogler, Penny Garrett, Barbara Hemrick, Thelma Hostetter, Barbara Ivey, Doug Johnson, Rita Jones, Merion King, Florence Klemm, Betsey Kysely, Sue Lincoln, Dottie Lyons, Helen Marsh, Liz McKittrick, Sharon Nugen, Robert Payne, Theresa Ramos, Duane Reed, Charlie Sakai, Bob Shaffer, Ames Smith.

There are two kinds of cadets: those who go to the library almost every night, and those who only go the night before a 7-10 page research paper is due. In either case, one must use the library's tremendous facilities now and then. Having over 475,000 volumes of available resources, it's easy to find material on the sex life of a gnat's eyelash; and receiving about 2100 periodicals and 50 newspapers, and 14,000 new books a year, the library certainly stays up to date. Also, it is planning some major changes improving the music booths, organizing a media center, and even expanding the library to accomodate 400 more cadets. What's the library trying to do put Arnold Hall out of business?

DFIT

Somewhere in the process of giving Military Studies and English presentations, almost every cadet experiences the tramma of having to make some flip-charts or view graphs. He runs down to the Directorate of Instructional Technology (DFIT) the period before the presentation and frantically begs someone to explain to him what to do. He ends up grabbing a magic marker and scrawling out a rough outline, finishing with about five minutes to spare.

This however, is only the self-help portion of the Graphics Division. There are also photo, media support, training devices, and television divisions. Somewhere in this organization, DFIT produces films, pamphlets, textbooks, slides, posters, and so forth, to service the needs ofthe Superintendent, the Commandant, the Dean, and the Director of Athletics. In keeping with the spirit of USAFA's 25th Anniversary, DFIT is making a series of murals and exhibitions depicting the “History of Flight." Spanning five years, this project will certainly use many of DFIT's vast media resources.

This year certainly has been an exciting one for the Class of '79 Culminating four hard years of academics and military work, our experiences learned here will stay with us forever how can you forget!? Through it all we will remember many things about our class that others will forget with time, and some will hear good ole’ war stories from us that will widen eyes more often than not. Good luck to all

NOTE TO THE CLASS OF ’83: You’ve heard of the many challenges that you will face here at the Academy, and by now you’ve seen many of them. The four years here are difficult, yet enjoyable. You will learn the workings of the United States Air Force like you can learn them in no other institution inthe world. Take your challenges, both as a team and as individuals This is our world, and welcome to it!

Class of ’79

We chose a shot of Mitchell Hall to represent one of the activities that we perform as a squadron - eat ing! The opposing picture is "Mitchell Hall” at Lowry AFB when thnt was the Academy. You think we have it had now

We do many things as a squadron - eat, sleep, play intramurals, and interact with each other on a daily basis. In other schools, these groups are known as “Greeks” or fraternities/sororities. Although we understand what a “squadron” section in our yearbook is. many who will look at this hook years from now might get a better understanding if we provide the title of "Greeks.”

Our seniors have seen much; the Coed Penthouse of Fall ’76; two consecutive Wing Water Polo championships; and Animal

Second Squadron has learned the justice of, “It’s always something.” If we weren’t moving the entire squadron we were moving through shoe purges, hair purges, or sleeping purges. Comic relief from the normal life included beach parties in the dorm, soccer games in the hall, and moving that little white plane nobody knew the name of. In addition the years saw the rise and fall of many feuds

which included setting underwear on fire and extinguishing slumbering cadets. All the firsties left with the immortal words of W. C. Fields pressed on their lips: “All things considered, I’d rather be in Philadelphia.” Let it never be forgotten that we saw the poster and got hit by the food.

17 out of 23 are barely alive

To tell of their freedom and drink Prowess

In Squadron 3’s Delta House

But the house was found by the AOC

For 60 days they were never free

Having a house was their big crime

So now they are paying by doing some time

No more crusing in their Corvette

And their pool table is in the SAR

They even ordered a color T.V.

But even that they’ll never see

Even though restrictions never seem to end

Just wait till our Firsties are free again!

Fightin’ Fourth came back this year coveting the outstanding squadron of 1st group award. Also on their return from an exciting summer they found a new AOC, Major Denny McGuirk. Although a new AOC is a major change for a squadron, most things remained

unchanged in Fourth Squadron. Once again “Fightin’ Four” was a strong contender for Honor Squadron. A top 10 finish in intramurals, a second place in academics, and the fifth consecutive top place in the PFT contributed a great deal to this contention.

If any words can serve to express what the Wolfpack is really like, the words unique, different, and alive come to the forefront. The Pack has its own style, like no other. It is unique because it tries to stay simple, no elaborate plans.

You could say we’re back to basics: basic communication, basic cooperation and openmindedness. Alive in that there is never a stagnation of ideas. That’s our Pack. We do our work, we have fun and the Pack is ONE.

Seventh Squadron started the semester with expectations of excelling in all areas. To set standards and welcome the new three and four degrees, the squadron held a picnic and ball game in Jack’s Valley with squadron participants. The picnic was a rousing success. After a month of schooling, the squadron went on a sponsor trip to meet the 87th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at K. I. Sawyer AFB. The hospitality of the 87th Squadron and the opportunity to fly operational missions in the F-106 were enjoyed by

all. Poor performance in athletics prompted the scheduling of two dining-ins to raise squadron spirits. Both events were a success due to the organization and planning by the first degrees for the first dining-in and by the three degrees for the second dining-in, held at the end of the fall promotion period. Prior to Christmas vacationthe majority of the squadron participated in Operation Christmas. Overall, the year was a success as shown in the squadron’s organization, leadership and military performance.

Tiger Ten was going in as many different directions this year as there were people in it. What made it unique? The people. Like Ted Osowski’s jumping achievements, Ken Wavering’s unforgettable Santa, Thanksgiving together at Dillon, and USAFA beach, indoors. The list goes on. When we

managed to get together it was great intramurals (Tiger Paws, Mat Cats), skipping a SAMI, and, thanks to Bob Swain and Jerry Sirote, the parties! We had some really different nicknames; Dieto, Quad, Spud, and Dog. And, through it all, a cheer to remember Huzzah!

Rebeleven appears to be another Chuck Barris Production. Our main source of humor is the “Little Rebel” skit (remember, the Class of ’80 provided our “real” Little Rebel back in 1976).

Rebeleven had two “foreign” exchange students from CanoeU. and Hudson High in fall 1978,

Dirty Dozen’s last all male class can be described as anything but normal. In fact, it had a jungle of personalities, complete with Tarzan. A sample of the broad diversities of dozen included a piano, a plane, and a boat. So I guess we could go by land, sea, or air, in style. And then there were

The Bulldawg’s of 13 have a proud history. The squadron’s foundation, its patch, is circular in shape enblazoned with a lightning bolt on a blue background with a bulldog posed fiercely in the center. This patch demonstrates the strength and pride of bulldawgs not only in themselves, but also in the Cadet Wing and the Air Force. To match this pride, Bulldawgs can boast an impressive history encompassing outstanding

squadron honors in military, academic, and athletic achievement. These ackalades have resulted in 5 honor squadron titles, an unsurpassed accomplishment by any other squadron. Members of the Bulldawg team have distinguished themselves by having such former members as Brock Strom. Today, Bulldawg’s continue to win honor squadron of the month more times than any other squadrons in 2nd group.

Although remnants of the old “Hyper Viper’’ can still be found lurking in the halls, CS-14 started this year with a lot of new faces. In addition to the new third and fourth classes, the Cobras also welcomed a new AOC and a new squadron sponsor. In an attempt to get acquainted with our new sponsors several members of the squadron went down to Bergstrom AFB and got sick in their planes while trying to duplicate some of the most wildly fought air battles in history. Instead of quieting down towards the end of the year, life in CS-14 continues to be exciting and surprising. In fact, the firsties got quite excited when

the doolies surprised them by redecorating their rooms during Hundred’s Night Hell Week began early the next morning. Cobra 14 is also bolstered by the presence of several distinguished personalities, including: Dodoshevsky; the world’s greatest lover (just ask him), Radio; the one-arm parachutist, Mikey; the human torch, Blando; Alpha Centauri exchange student, the inscrutible Chi Fu, Disco Hahn Volta; illustrious president of the IFBB, and Willie; the Spanish Flyer. These and all the other outstanding members of 14th squadron are continuing the Viper tradition.

Hi Hawk fans! Here we are again to review the year's thrilling, exciting, tear-jerking activities. The big news is that we surged from the bottom five to number one in intramurals. As for Academics, we dun reel gude to. The squadron also had some great parties. Unfortunately, they were limited to cadet rooms. On the

military side of the house, we thought we had our AOC trained properly when a new car showed up. Oh well, back to the drawing board! We’re sure the seniors and their motto, “casual laziness,” will be missed but not much! The under-Hawks will carry on.

Contrary to popular belief, Hoobs, Phant, Butter, Ramrod, Skinmule, Trog, Eborp, Flinch and Snog are not creations of Dr. Seuss (unless Harry changed his name), rather, they illustrate the fraternal spirit of Stalag. You’ve heard of us. We have the only CCQ who guards the halls with a 20 mm gatling gun.

We’ll never forget our years together: from the great Porn bust, through the Primo scandal and the Atari tournaments, right up to the poster children, we have shared a lot of precious memories. And though in time we may get segregated, we can never be separated.

If there is one thing that the “big men” of Starship know, we know women. LInfortunately, everyone knows the same three. This is no problem at Arnie’s Disco because getting the Starship to disco is like pulling teeth without drugs very painful! The “nordic gods” love that rock’n’roll so much

that our academics are beyond comparison. Our firsties own all the unknown records “most pages typed in the last fifteen minutes before sixth period”, and “most hours continuously awake on no-doz.” Hey, “no biggie” cadets. Our Luey’s will keep the Air Force rocking and rolling in style.

From the summer of ’78 to the spring of ’78

There were surprises, new deals, and changes

They came from time to time. In Twenty-first Squadron the pace was quickened

Our AOC did not wear blue Having lived at a slow jog before To sprint was something new. The firsties as a clan had grown, Their names like those of brothers Berfo, Beatle, Birdman, Hog, Saskwatch, Coyle and others

But different ones for sure

24th Squadron’s Class of ’79 was one known for its traditions, both those it broke and those it started. Who else could come up with the “North Hall mirror bust?”

Coke drinking contests, the Loghead, and the Groveler were all ’79 inventions. The loghead award will retire with Tip Keary, who proved extremely adept at winning it. Groveler must retire with ’79 also—simply because no other class has proven as successful at repeatedly holding it. Two models of cadet perfection were our Squadron Commanders, Rocky Ellison

and Omar Pearson. Rocky only took four years to prove he was not prejudiced, finally admitting he hated everybody equally. Omar, born in Fulton, Mississippi, didn’t do too bad after we taught him to speak English. Yes, ’79 had everything—a Rhodes Scholar, rampaging Texans prepared to do battle with anything that moved, swimming pools in the showers coupled with tidal waves in the halls, not to mention those wild parties that even the police enjoyed coming to. ’79 will live forever in the halls of the Phantoms.

The “Redneck Chargers” ’79, the proverbial iron fist rulers, followed a philosophy of working hard, training hard and playing hard with successes in two of these. Unexcelled in Beerball, no talent, 1° roast, turtle races, and upperclass nukes. How about sixth in the PFT, 7th in intramurals, and 1st

in Fall parades? Fourthclass knowledge was only surpassed by their ability to pick up 9,000,000 styrofoam balls from 1° rooms. Academics—if measured in raw brain matter, our big heads would positively skew the curve. Spirited, motivated and great in comradeship.

To breed a special person who offers a warmheart and hand

To make a gifted person to excell in all pursued

To become a proud and respected person and a successful human being.

And “the Pit” was behind Randy Gricius at every home game. (Because of the nature of the squadron, we proved USAFA could be a good four year TDY assignment.)

Much to everyone’s delight the Magpies of 28 have done well in the last few years. (No-name 28 became Magpie 28). Since the arrival of Mighty Fine ’79, 28 consistently placed in the top 10 academically and has been first for a few semesters. This is no surprise since the Magpies have always stressed academics. Stressing academics is an Academy synonym for “poor military performance.” This year, however, the Magpies turned it around militarily. Basically, “turned it around” means that we no longer lead the Wing in

We win some and lose some in intramurals but we do manage to get together a few Wing Champ teams (Wrestling, ’79). Big Bugga (Vaugn Benjamin) also took Wing Champ boxing this year. Squadron activities range from an injury-less toboggan trip (unlike 2 years ago) to a casualty stricken ski trip at Crested Butte. Overall, it’s a Mighty Fine squadron and we’re “damn proud to be in 28.”

Existing on the 6th floor of the new dorm is the House of Grim: 24, then 23, and finally 21 guys with minds of our own. We’ll remember best those ‘activities' we sponsored but, alas, did not claim sophomore optional room arrangement. “jamint” with the Cult the Friday night beer party 1978 4th Group Honor Squadron and Military Proficiency Squadron. Our senior year arrived with element leaders, no weekday ODPs, “optional” breakfast, and Friday and Saturday training. We responded to the changes with new

motivation, “Reaper Madness’ was the name. Although the game was the same, the party place was changed to protect the innocent. The Pizza Barrell and Black Forest became household names along with pre-game, pre-concert, and post-anything. Second semester senior meant almost the cancellation of 100’s night, but we counted the days until 28 April and 30 May. Through the three years of togetherness we learned that the close friendships we developed will be the ‘real’ things we take away from here. For sure, do it 31!

We challenge all, to catch us if you can.

on depression against the forces of the Dean and the shop of the Comm, spirits flipped and flopped between good and bad. As the year drew to a successful close, the Hogs got a new leader, as Chops took command

39th squadron, better known as the Jedi Knights, was commanded by ClC Bruce Pecor in the fall and ClC Michael Glenn in the winter. Jedi’s AOC, Maj Marcelite Jordan, is one of the first two women AOCs in the Academy’s history. Through comprehensive exercise programs, the Jedi PFT

average improved tremendously. With the introduction of the maroon and white Jedi hat at intramurals, the Jedis ended the winter intramurals in fourth place, sweeping three times. 39th led the wing in contributions to the Combined Federal Campaign. 39th is sponsored by the 80th FTW.

Ali Baba, affectionately known as the last of the “mellows” to its members, is a squadron without its cheer. The Ali Baba cheer, which climaxed squadron morale on Fridays, fell by the wayside as cadets began to take on more important responsibilities and watch their 19" color TVs on

the weekdays. Aside from this tragic loss, the squadron has kept its Japanese appreciation week intact including the culmination of festivities on Dec. 7. Ali Baba is a unique squadron which proudly carries the label “we do things a little differently here.” P.S. “Fatima doesn’t do it past here.”

“Quest For The Golden Bars"

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Be it known that within this proclamation lies the truth of the crusades of the Knights of Thirt.

A long time ago, in a land far, far away, there reigned a fraternity known as the Kingdom ofThirt.

Duke number one spent many a day, hopelessly hopping from valet to valet.

Duke number two, mellowest of all,

Spent only eight months in those hallowed halls.

Filled full with good cheerand intentions well meant, A shower we gave to this friendly ole gent.

Duke number three, Elvis by name, played Raggedy Andy to gain his fame.

The sage begins in Seventy-six, With a certain stump-bumper and his mug full of tricks.

Sir Flash, Tubby to friends, is this kingdom's clown. His eyes are green, but they should be brown.

Our table decorum was crude and rank.

Like the starving children of assistan t Duke Frank.

Confined to this tower ona cold winter's day

We flooded the shower to pass time away.

Water and fire and powder and cream.

Spoiled many an OIC's late night dream.

There oncewas a time in the life of Sir Space,

When he took to the halls in a naked foot race.

Now we move into Seventy-seven, With special plans for pleasure heaven.

Expensive talent of Esquire Smith, Made enjoyable parties only a myth.

One Christmas night, Santa did bring to Sir Chuckles some books, of funny new things.

Duke Fox spent only a short time in power, But during his reign, the squadron did tower.

During the annual festivities of June, Our real estate holdings started to boom.

There once was a Hoosier, who trained tougher than lye.

Until a D & B doolie caught his eye.

Our Knight of Honor, Sir Head was his name.

Was caught sixteen times playing the game.

Our year ended with chariots that shine,

Heading out for the summer time.

A lengthy romance turned into a dump.

When another officer made Sir Richard’s heart thump.

In Seventy-eight General Richards came.

And boy were we in for a royal pain.

The year began in search of vice,

And that’s how we got our three blind mice.

Guiding these mice through the streets of town.

Of course, was Sir Flash and his eyes of brown, (er)

As the Knights of Thirt turned twenty one,

They went to P.L. for biological fun.

With armour of yellow, Sir Burt is his name, He resembles big bird of Seasame Street fame. (Hyuk, Hyuk)

During the fall, with popcorn and friends.

After taps at the movies was the new trend.

Two cases in chariot, munchies at hand.

Four valiant Knights, requisitioned a ram.

Remember those chariots all shining and new?

Three fourths of them did not make it through.

Young maidens they found and they did not wait, And marriage proposed after only one date.

Polaris Salutes Past Graduates

One More Roll

We toast our hearty comrades Who have fallen from the skies

.And were gently caught by God's own hands To be with him on high.

To dwell among the soaring clouds

They've known so well before.

From victory roll to tail chase ^4t Heaven's very door.

As we fly among them there

We’re sure to hear their plea.

Take care my friend, watch your six, |And do one more roll for me.

W Hughes is part of that effort. We believe people can ao where they want to go.

"Sure there weren’t any other planesaround, Rick?"

- Major Raoul Lufbery France March 6,1918

Eddie Rickenbacker wasn’t about to sit out World War I keeping junior birdmen up in the air. He’d learned how to fly, and he wanted action. But here he was a Signal Corps engineering officer at a flying school in France.

When he heard about a thorny new combat maneuver called the tailspin, Rickenbacker decided to master it in secret. It just could be his ticket into combat.

After he was ready to demonstate his hard-earned new talent, he picked a lulu of an arena. At 500 feet over the field where young pilots were playing football, he suddenly stalled his tiny Nieuport, kicked the rudder hard, and down he came, spinning widely. Spectators, top brass and players fled for their lives as this madman seemed destined to become a permanent implant on the 50-yard line. Then Rickenbacker deftly pulled out and flew away.

He was raked over the coals, but he got what he wanted. Assignment to the 94th Aero Pursuit Squadron. And apprenticeship under the great ace, Major Raoul Lufbery.

Lufbery decided to give the eager fledgling a chance to fly over German lines. When he returned unscathed, Rickenbacker felt invincible. “Neither friend nor enemy dared to join us in the sky,” he bragged.

After quietly listening to Rickenbacker’s boasts, Lufbery casually strolled to the novice’s plane, poked his fingers through numerous holes in the tail and w ings, and asked wryly, “Sure there weren’t any other planes around, Rick?”

No one ever had to ask Eddie Rickenbacker a question like that again. He went on to become America’s Ace of Aces in World War I and one of the most celebrated heroes of all time.
