Carlson, former corps sergeant-major and out standing junior student last year, was named colonel of the corps of cadets yesterday. Official announcement of Carlson’s appointment to the position came yesterday afternoon when President M. T. Har rington put his signature to the list of officer appointments for the 1951-52 corps of cadets. Executive officer of the corps is Kenneth M. Wiggins, liberal arts major from St. Augustine. Wiggins and Carlson both served on the corps staff last year. ^ Carlson was named sergeant-major of the corps last : ^February and became the first Air Force ROTC cadet to receive that distinction. He will also be the first Air Force colonel of the corps. The tall, blondehaired economics major from Elgin owns a grade point ratio of '2.9—a fraction short of a straight “A” average. In his sophomore year he was outstanding cadet in the class of ’52, and was presented the Cald well Award last spring at Mother’s Day ceremonies. The Caldwell Award goes to the corps’ outstand ing junior cadet. Kelly Takes PIO Job ‘ lx ■■ ■ 111 ii :• vi Sllll s : : ! .. il l: Eric W.
