Cadets Get Flag
From VN Veteran
Texas A&M’s Corps of Cadets

Flown by the same Air Force

“Then we’ll present it to Col.

Captain Cardwell said the four

Stripes along on missions have
16,000 hours flying time. The pi
lots included Maj. Jerry O. Robi
nette of El Paso, Maj. Bobby R.
Noack of Waco, Capt. Jim Schna
bel of San Antonio and Cardwell.
Minze requested that the cap
tain obtain another flag for the
corps. Cardwell was Squadron 7
commander in the corps and Minze
was a freshman in his unit.

Captain Cardwell’s father, a civil
service hydroelectrical engineer of
Dallas; his wife, the former Janet
Stokes of Dallas; Dean of Stu
dents James P. Hannigan; Air
Force Col. Vernon L. Head, pro
fessor of aerospace studies; Mili

Only Bic would dare to torment a beauty like this. Not the girl...
the pen she’s holding. It’s the new luxury model Bic Clic... designed
for scholarship athletes, lucky card players and other rich campus
socialites who can afford the expensive 49-cent price.
But don’t let those delicate good looks fool you. Despite hor
rible punishment by mad scientists, the elegant Bic Clic still wrote
first time, every time.
Everything you want in a fine pen, you’ll find in the new Bic
Clic. It’s retractable. Refillable. Comes in 8 barrel colors. And like
all Bic pens, writes first time, every time...no matter what devilish
abuse sadistic students devise for it.
