Aerodynamically, UFOs will
never get off the ground.
A Texas A&M aerospace en
gineering major’s wind tunnel
tests show “flying saucers” are
aerodynamically unfeasible.
Stephen L. Lamkin, senior of
Austin, constructed two models
for tests in the Aerospace En
gineering Department’s two-by-
three foot wind tunnel.
“Non-rotating circular bodies—
as ’flying saucers’ would be term
ed in scientific vernacular — I
tested became extremely unstable
and developed destructive flutter
at angles of attack above a cer
tain point,” the 22-year-old en
gineer reported.
Lamkin is skeptical of most
flying saucer reports and has
never seen a UFO (unidentified
flying object). He follows reports
on such objects and based his
models on dimensions obtained
from relatively factual sightings.
“Buffeting and fluttering be
gan to develop above two degrees
angle of attack on both models,”
Lamkin noted. “Most of the planes
built today will take 20 degrees,
though in normal operation they
do not experience more than 10
degrees.
He said a spinning saucer prob
ably has better aerodynamic
characteristics.
“It wasn’t possible for me to
spin models I tested though.”

FLYING SAUCERS GROUNDED
Steve Lamkin of Texas A&M, senior aerospace engineering
major, “grounded” two flying saucer models for wind tun
nel tests. The senior from Dallas found saucer-shaped
UFO’s present aerodynamics problems. A 10-inch model
(background) is mounted in the Aerospace Engineering
Department’s two-by-three foot wind tunnel for tests.

Retail Industry
Automated stores, “telepurchas
ing” and do-it-yourself appliance
repair kits are ways the retailer
may serve his future customer,
Robert H. Lakamp, special assis
tant to the president, J. C. Penney
Co., said Tuesday night.
Lakamp of Short Hills, N. J.,
addressed about 30 members of
the American Marketing Society
in the Memorial Student Center.
“Within two decades,” Lakamp
said, “a housewife will make
many of her purchases by tele
phone. By choosing items flashed
on her television screen, she sends
her order to a nearby retail ware
house. There the items are auto
matically sorted and wrapped,
ready for delivery.”
Lakamp said that another re
tail service, repair ’’modules,”
will replace whole units instead
of single parts of an appliance
and will make repairmen obsolete.
Lakamp traced the strategy of
the retail industry from the pre-
World War II idea of locating
small shops in a central business
district to the modern, more com
plex plan of adapting large stores
to consumer trends.
“The age of the consumer has
come with younger, more affluent
and better educated customers,”
he said.
Southerland, 25, replaces Billy
C. Presnal, who left the Office
of the Commandant position to
seek election to the Texas Legis
lature.
A 1965 management graduate,
Southerland recently completed
two years active duty in the
Army. The first lieutenant served
the second year in Germany as
battalion adjutant and headquar
ters company commander of the
4th Battalion, 35th Armor.
The 1960 San Jacinto High
graduate served as a civilian
counselor three months before
entering active duty. Commission
ed at A&M, he was a member of
Company A-3 in the Corps.
Southerland was in the Fish
Drill Team as a marching mem
ber and sophomore, junior and
senior advisor. He was the first
president of the Association of
Former Fish Drill Team Mem
bers, formed to assist in the pre
cision rifle unit.
While serving as adjutant in
Illesheim, Germany, Lieutenant
Southerland was one of only two
officers on the 4th Battalion staff
of Lt. Col. Jim T. Burke, com
mander.
