Herridge wins scholarship
“It’s too bad that there are no freshmen in need of my
supervisory talents during the summer!”
William S. Herridge of East-
land, junior journalism student
at A&M, has been awarded a
$500 scholarship by the Texas
Gridiron Club of Fort Worth.
The club is sponsored by the
Fort Worth chapter of Sigma
Delta Chi, national journalism
society. The group has contrib
uted more than $100,000 in schol
arships during the past 20 years
to journalism students through
out the state.
Herridge is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Bert Herridge of 203 North
Daugherty in Eastland.
Student studies parachute safety
A device for increasing para
chuting safety has been studied
by an A&M student who has
more than 250 sports parachute
jumps.
Walter Mohn’s idea involves
using rocket propulsion to help
deploy the parachute.
“This is an assist technique for
smoother, more rapid deployment
than presently used systems,” the
senior from Arlington explained.
“It would alleviate several causes
of parachute malfunctions such
as line entanglements and ‘Mae
drive
Wests’ and enable faster deploy
ment speed, affording the para
chutist greater safety.”
The idea Mohn wrote up for an
aerospace engineering course in
corporates a high-pressure can-
nister containing compressed car
bon dioxide in the crown of a
standard MA-1 pilot chute.
Ripcord pin removal would
puncture a diaphragm in the can-
nister. The escaping gas would
rocket the pilot chute into the
air stream faster to withdraw
the main chute from its pack.
Mohn, 23, noted the idea is not
entirely new. He holds the ex
pert license as a sports jumper,
has been a parachute rigger for
two years and also is a licensed
private pilot. The San Antonio
MacArthur High School grad
plans to enter parachuting as a
livelihood.
Dr. Charles A. Rodenberger,
Mohn’s aero course professor,
feels the idea has developmental
possibilities.
The terminal velocity of a man
falling through the air under
20,000 feet altitude is about 178
feet-per-second, Mohn stated.
The advantage of any device
that increases the opening rate
of a main or reserve canopy “is
immediately realized when a
matter of a few hundredths of a
second could means the difference
between life or death of the
jumper,” he added.
Mohn feels carbon dioxide is
best to give the pilot chute its
initial kick, because it is relia
ble under highly-compressed con-
