Prkwy ilf Baths :ted & Draped irag-c “mentary School Vertical takeoff planes called significant advance THE BATTALION Tuesday, October 27, 1970 College Station, Texas Page 3 Vertical and short takeoff and landing capabilities represent as significant an advance for both civil and military aviation as did the introduction of the jet en gine, a Marine Corps general de clared Monday. “In considering the funda mental advantages which V/- STOL offers,” said Maj. Gen. Homer S. Hill, “it seems incred ible that this capability has not already been achieved in a large number of applications.” As the Marine Corps’ deputy chief of staff for air, General Hill heads a project to incorpor ate a versatile and high-speed V/STOL aircraft into the Corps’ close air support concept. The project centers around the British-made Harrier, which the Marine Corps will put into exper imental service early next year. Hill, a 1940 A&M graduate, discussed the unique plane and the V/STOL concept at a meet ing jointly sponsored by the A&M Chapter of the American Society for Engineering Educa tion and College of Engineering Lecture Series. The general said a Harrier re cently beat an F-4, the world’s fastest military jet fighter, in CASA CHAPULTEPEC ©PEN 11:00 A. M. CLOSE 10:00 P.

The Harrier took off and landed from helicopter pads in the heart of each city, while the super sonic F-4 had to utilize conven tional outlying airfields. The single-seat light attack aircraft is powered by a Rolls Royce Bristol Pegasus fan-jet engine and capable of operating at near the speed of sound. It accelerates to conventional wing- borne flight within 15 seconds following vertical takeoff. “The introduction of Harrier will constitute a major step for ward in military aviation,” Gen eral Hill emphasized. “No longer will we be burden ed with the complete dependence on construction of large and costly runways and base develop ments and support,” he added. Hill, who will himself partici pate in Harrier test flights, said the aircraft can operate off any ship with a landing deck and can be employed ashore in the im mediate vicinity of the ground units which it will support. Hill predicted V/STOL aircraft have a great future in commer cial operations. He said such aircraft can greatly reduce cur rent air traffic congestion. He noted, however, that too little is being done in construc tion of V/STOL aircraft.

TTI Director Jack Keese, short course general chairman, said the meeting will open with remarks by Ford D. Albritton Jr. of Bryan, member of the A&M University System Board of Directors, and Dewitt C. Greer of Austin, Texas Highway Commission chairman. Keynote speaker will be Ex ecutive Vice President A. R. Leudecke. Finance club to visit bank The A&M Finance Association, a new student group, will make its fall field trip to the Federal Reserve Bank in Dallas, Nov. 6, Mike Kearney, president, has an nounced. The field trip will include a presentation on current U. S. monetary policy, a film, and a tour of the bank. Any finance major wishing to attend must sign up in the Fi- nanc Department office, room 156 of Francis Hall, by 5 p.m. Nov. 3. All students attending will have an excused absence from all Fri day classes, Kearney said. A&M has designed an auto mated graduate student record system which is being studied for possible use at several other in stitutions throughout the nation. Dr. George W. Kunze, A&M graduate dean, said the new com puterized technique — first of its type in the nation — has helped solve a major administra tive problem. The program has attracted the attention of the Council of Graduate Schools in the United States. “The American system of grad uate education boasts of tailored programs of study designed to meet the objectives and needs of the individual student,” Dean Kunze observed. “This is gen erally conceded to be a strong and desirable feature of the graduate programs in American universities, but it results in a monumental record-keeping chore for one or more offices of the university.” “The size, complexity and cost of present-day graduate pro grams require an expeditious and economical means for maintain ing rapidly retrievable records from the admission of the stu dent to his graduation,” the dean said. He added that such a record keeping system is necessary for effective program management at all levels in the university and for the preparation and imple mentation of plaps for graduate education. An essential ingredient for such a system, he added, is auto mated student registration for enrollment in classes each semes ter. A&M initiated an automated registration system last spring. The system utilizes a computer ized process of gathering student requests for courses and produc ing a class schedule for each stu dent. Both the automated graduate student record system and the automated registration system utilize the university’s IBM 360/65 computer. “In designing the automated graduate student record system,” Dr. Kunze explained, “considera tion was given to the specific in formation needs of the graduate student, his major professor, his department head, his academic dean, as well as to the needs of the Graduate College.” Capabilities of the system in clude an accurate record of the applicants for admission and their credentials, periodic reports on the academic progress of all active students, enrollment and course load data, financial as sistance awarded students and exception reports which call at tention to existing or potential irregularities. Nearly 3,200 of A&M’s 14,406 students are studying on the graduate level, giving the uni versity one of the highest gradu ate student ratios in the South west. A&M’s automated graduate student record system makes maximum use of record systems previously in existence, Dean Kunze emphasized. BROWN - ALLEN MOTOR CO.
