Col. Vernon L. Head adminis
tered the oath to an Air Force
officer Wednesday, a privilege he
won’t likely have again soon, al
though he’s the Air Force detach
ment head in A&M’s Military Sci
ence Department.
The professor of aerospace
studies conducted the ceremony
that legally made Capt. Mary
Panka a regular Air Force offi
cer.
The captain, from Atlanta, Ga.,
has been an Air Force Reserve
officer since 1960.
She is at A&M on regular Air
Force duty assignment, studying
for a masters degree in com

Defense Sector, Gunter AFB,
Ala., and deputy chief in the per
sonnel office, McGuire AFB, N.J.,
before arrival at A&M.
“This is a challenging assign
ment,” the captain said. “Most
of our AFIT group has been out
BACIi- TO - SCHOOL
ringers
of college a while. Our predeces
sors did a good job at their
studies and left some good rec
ords to shoot for.”
The 1959 Georgia State College
graduate isn’t the first WAF
AFIT student to enroll at A&M.

at Atlanta, where she is a mem
ber of Phi Chi Theta, national
woman’s business fraternity. Her
bachelor degree is in business
administration.
A military veteran, she has 18
years service to her credit, in
cluding four in the Army. She
was discharged as a staff ser
geant and finance clerk in 1952,
then entered the AF reserve in
’53. She served two years in
Germany and had one of her most
unusual military experiences
there.
Finance section personnel were
called out at 2 a.m. for a change
over in scrip, the occupying
forces’ monetary medium.
“As it was checked in and ex
changed for new scrip, the old
bills were just tossed aside. The
pile reached the ceiling and after
wards, was burned,” she des
cribed.
Assignment at predominantly
male A&M doesn’t pose any prob
lems for the captain.
