They will return c. 15. Some of the aircraft the cadets 1 see include the U-2, the B-47, iTitan II Missile, and the F-101.

SUCCESSFUL CADETS who al so complete their senior year stu dies and receive a commission as an Army second lieutenant enter a three-year tour of duty. Their first assignment is to an Army flight school. “The flight training program here at A&M is a relatively inex pensive way for both the cadet and the Army to learn more of his interest and aptitudes for flight,” Major Gordon said. The cadets receive valuable training without charge. They complete 35 hours of ground school and 35% hours of flying time in struction. GORDON SAID ARMY officials have found the on-campus flight training has important financial advantages to the Army. Cadets successfully completing all phases of the training receive a private license permitting him to fly single engine aircraft. The Army’s increasing reliance and dependence upon the role of air mobility is among the changes to meet the challenge of changing combat conditions, Major Gordon said. Aircraft are an integral part in the new ROAD (Reorganized Ar my Division) plan of the Army’s. Cadets receive their flight train ing at Easterwood Field the uni versity airport. /A. . r ~.7 : SAM HOUSTON STATE’S BRASS CHOIR Group will perform on campus Monday evening. |jy§i MSC Music Group Hosts Brass Choir The Memorial Student Center Music Committee has planned a presentation of the Brass Choir of Sam Houston State College, at 8 p.m. Monday in Guion Hall. The ensemble, under the direction of Dr. W. F. Lee, employs 29 musicians including eight trum pets, eight trombones, four French horns, three baritone horns, two tubas, and four percussion. Admission will be $1 for adults, and 50 cents for children. Stu dent activity cards will be accepted for this performance. The Brass Choir is one of fifteen performing ensembles in the De partment of Music of Sam Hous ton. The group has made several performances throughout the state and made its second appearance at the Texas Music Educators As sociation Convention in 1963. A relatively new media in the United States, brass ensembles have rap idly grown popularity as the new generation of composers has be gun to explore its possibilities. The selections appearing on the program typify brass literature from the early polychoir texture of the Venitian School through tran scriptions of classical works to the present era. THE Friday, December 6, 1963 BATTALION College Station, Texas Page 5 Students Briefed Aeronautical engineering stu dents Thursday were briefed on the nation’s progress with manned spacecraft flights by Dr. Robert R. Gilruth. Director of Houston’s Manned Spacecraft Center, Gilruth traced NASA’s four-step program in get ting a man to the moon and back. He also presented the talk at a meeting of engineering faculty members. Gilruth outlined progress of the spacecraft center and, with an op timistic voice, mentioned future flights of Gemini and Apollo. His technical presentation was illustra ted with film slides and movies. Gilruth said the two-man craft called Gemini will be ready early next year. The eminent rocket and missile engineer discussed some of the complex problems involved with the future flights of Gemini. Apollo will carry three men. He specifically cited some of the landing difficulties and showed films of a new device which will help break the fall of the space crafts and at the same time allow astronauts to maneuver the craft during the landing process. The visiting lecturer called the device a “Paraglider,” which re sembles wing-parachute combina tion. His movie film also showed astronauts participating in survi val training and simulated space flights.
