Air Force cadets score high in summer training
A&M Air Force ROTC cadets
are scoring high in summer field
training at Eglin AFB, Fla., re
ported Col. Robert F. Crossland.
The professor of aerospace
studies and three other TAMU
officials visited Eglin this week
for installation tours and train
ing demonstrations. They con
ferred with A&M cadets.
“All the Aggies came through
with flying colors,” Colonel
Crossland evaluated a session of
aquatic survival training.
Great Issues
will shorten
fall schedule
Great Issues programs this fall
will be cut to approximately one
each month and admission will
be charged to several of the
programs, according to T. C.
Cone, Great Issues Chairman.
“By cutting our programs to
one per month, we can give the
students better quality pro
grams,” Cone said. “Also, by
charging admission to supple
ment our finances, we can afford
some of the speakers in whom
A&M students have shown inter
est.”
Columnists Jack Anderson and
William F. Buckley, Jr., psychol
ogist B. F. Skinner, former Su
preme Court Justice Earl War
ren, sportscaster Howard Cosell,
science fiction writer Isaac Asi
mov and several high level gov
ernment officials are being con
sidered, he said.
Admission costs will depend
on committee finances and the
cost of the speaker, some of
which receive $2,000. Prices will
range from 0-50 cents for stu
dents with activity cards and $1-
$1.50 for others, Cone said.
Great Issues receives 85 to 88
cents per student each semester
from the student services fees.
“If the committee has at least
one free program per semester,
the student will get his money’s
worth,” he added, “and we hope
to present more than one free
program per semester.”

He was accompanied by Gen.
A. R. Luedecke, executive vice
president; Edwin H. Cooper, as
sistant to President Jack Wil
liams and acting dean of stu
dents, and Dean of Men Charles
W. Powell. TAMU had 80 cadets
in the first summer phase of
training at Eglin, 57 in the sec
ond phase to conclude in mid-
August.
“The cadets appreciated Gen
eral Luedecke, Dean Powell and
Mr. Cooper taking the time to
come and see them,” the PAS
added.
Crossland said A&M students
comprised 35 per cent of the en
riched Eglin camp attended by
cadets from the five universities
and colleges with fulltime, uni
formed Corps of Cadets.
Lt. Col. Roscoe P. Thorpe an
nounced that the A&M group
took five of eight major awards
during the first summer phase.
He said indications are the rec
ords will be repeated in the sec
ond phase. Thorpe is assistant
PAS at A&M and headed four
officers from TAMU assisting in
conducting Eglin training. Also
at the Florida installation are
Majs. Neal Solomon, Milt Albert
and Dean Duncan.
Colonel Thorpe briefed the
A&M visitors.
A tour of Eglin, at 720 square
miles the largest military instal
lation in the world, covered the
main base complex and included
stops at the Armament Develop
ment and Testing Center and en
vironmental lab, in which the C-5
Galaxy can be subjected to a wide
range of climatic conditions.
Aquatic survival training the
A&M group observed required ca
dets dressed in full flying gear
to go off an 80-foot boat. Lan
yards attached to the craft tow
the cadets through the water at
five to 10 knots, simulating a
filled parachute canopy pulling
them. Under these conditions the
cadet must maneuver himself
and release from canopy lines. A
trailing power boat picks up the
trainees.
Cadets also participate in a
night navigation exercise, ma
neuvering over varied terrain in
cluding swamps.
Crossland said he talked with
several ROTC instructors from
the other four institutions repre
sented at Eglin, VPI, VMI, The
Citadel and Norwich University.
“They all told me the Aggies
are tops,” the colonel commented.
