7 > Parachute Club Continues Through Summer THE BATTALION Page 4 College Station, Texas Thursday, July 20, r Texas A&M has been repre sented by a nationally recognized parachute team for the past six years. This summer, however, is the first time that skydiving has been continued throughout the summer months. Team president Dave Burrus and pilot Skip Heard are conduct ing training classes each Satur day afternoon. The jumping takes place at the A&M dropzone lo cated at the south end of the Hearne airport. Burrus and Heard are both li censed parachuting instructors with over 325 jumps and six years experience each. Initial training covers such topics as: parachute packing, air craft exit, free fall positions, landing procedures, canopy con trol, and emergency procedures. Training fee is $25 per student and includes all equipment neces sary for jumping with the excep tion of boots. This equipment is maintained and available to each student until he wishes to discon tinue jumping or buys equipment of his own. Those students who intend to return to A&M in the fall will be eligible to compete for a position on the Texas A&M parachute team. Each year the team com petes in local parachute meets and in the National Collegiate Parachute Meet. In 1966, A&M hosted the Na tional meet with Skip Heard tak ing first place overall. The 1967 meet, held in Tahlequah, Okla homa, was going well for A&M when the meet was called off due to bad weather.
