Crutches for weapons?
Freshmen Dave Jefferson (left) and Ed Wil
son (right) practice maneuvers for Fish Drill
Team using crutches instead of weapons. They
belong to Wilson due to a hurt knee. The
crutches may seem lighter, but their length
probably makes them more awkward than the
weapons usually used by the Fish Drill Team.
Adviser Ed Santiago looks on as the two
freshmen practice.

It was 1927, the year Charles A.
Lindbergh made his historic
nonstop solo flight across the Atlan
tic from New York to Paris.
That was also the year one J.
Willard Marriott opened a nine-seat
nickel root beer stand in Washing
ton, D C. Marriott s $2,500 invest
ment attracted far less publicity.
Although the opening went
virtually unnoticed, Marriott was to
goon to make history after a fashion.
For from that tiny stand evolved the
Marriott Corp., currently the na
tions most diversified lodging, food
service, and leisure services com
pany.
Each clay more than 60,000 Mar
riott employes serve the needs of
about one million travelers and
other guests in 39 U.S. states and 18
foreign countries.
Properties include 31 hotels, five
resorts, and 14 franchised inns in
the United States and overseas; 63
airline catering kitchens; more than
4(H) public restaurants; 200 business
and institutional focxl service man
agement contracts; condominiums;
two major theme parks (Great
America) and three cruise ships
(Sun lanes).
No one recorded Marriott’s gross
during his first year selling root
beer. But Marriott Corp. reported a
combined total of more than $1 bil
lion in sides for fiscal 1976.
Marriott s first venture into the
hotel business came in Arlington,
Va., with the Twin Bridges Marriott
Motor Hotel in 1957. It was billed as
the first full-service motor hotel in
the U.S.

Now he is board chairman of the
parent Marriott Corp., whose hotel
division operates or oversees 50
hotels and inns, with nearly 19,500
1(, oms, in 45 cities from coast to
coast and in Acapulco, Mexico;
Euzco, Peru; Amsterdam, Holland;
farn and Barbados.
The company observed its golden
anniversary by opening its 50th hos
telry, the Marina del Rey Marriott
Inn near the Los Angeles airport, in
early October.
“We must be doing something
right,” said James E. Durbin, presi
dent of the Marriott Hotels Divi
sion. “Marriott enjoys the highest
occupancy rate of the top hotel
chains—more than 80 percent com
pared with the industry average of
62 percent. And we also have three
times as many 1977 Mobil Travel
Guides four-star hotels and resorts
and more AAA five-diamonds than
any other hotel group.”
Durbin said he envisaged “con
siderable continued growth” of
tourism in the next quarter of the
century.
“As job functions become more
programmed with more people find
ing the novelty and challenge miss
ing in their work-a-day lives, people
will turn in increasing numbers to
travel and leisure-time activities to
escape boredom,” he said.
Durbin said he expected an in
crease in young travelers “as the
generation of the more affluent,
more educated young adults who
have been flying from infancy, be
come of age and make their own
travel decisions.
“We also see an increase of
golden-age citizens venturing forth
in greater numbers, not only be
cause of scientific advances which
have prolonged their active life but
because more people were con
cerned with making those golden
years worthwhile.
Durbin said Marriott had “am
bitious expansion” plans for the fu
ture in the United States and
abroad, particularly in South and
Central America, Mexico, and the
Middle East. He said hotels are
being built or planned for Arequipa
and Lima, Pern; Caneun, Mexico;
Tehran,
Egypt;
Kuwait.
Iran; Cairo and Luxor,
Amman, Jordan; and
