Sometime during April, there will be a blood mobile in this area, as
most everyone knows, the ROTC detachment at the Center has always had an
excellent turn-out for this worthy causa and this time it is hoped that there
will be a 100$ turn-out of the cadets. If everyone cooperates and helps in
making this campaign a success, The authorities have assured the center tnat
the Bloodmobile will be brought on campus for the convenience of the students,
But the only way to do this, is to get everyone's whole-hearted cooperation,,
And don't forget, every cadet that donates blood is guaranteed one merit,
(equal to a final grade pointi) so keep a date open in April fot the Blood
mobile.
On the fifteenth of this month a C--47 flight from the Hazleton Air Fort
has been scheduled, that is with weather permitting. The last few flights
have ended in a rather moist way but wi th spring weather all around the plane
may be able to aqt£ez.e in between soma idainy days. The plane has been sched
uled to be here from 1000 to 1700 for the convenience of all cadets. Maybe
if everyone stops washing their cars or putting raincoats aiue
fool the weather into being clear and bright.
flans are being made for a field trip to the Olmstead r Force Base
sometime in April. After chocking with the various classes, it has been found
that 'Wednesday would be the best day for such a trip. The tour will take a
full day with transportation being furnished by the Air Force. Tours will be
taken through the weather station, control tower, maintenance areas, and the
link trainer section where the cadets will be given a chance to operate a link
trainer, feople taking the tour will be given the choice of eating at the
consolidated mess hall at government expanse or at the Officers Club at their
own expense. During the day, several hours of flying time has been planned for
the cadets, so that the trip promises to be a very interesting one.
With the coming of warm weather, the drill team x.s once agaxn starting
practice. During the winter, the lack of a place to practice forced a vacation
upon the members of the team.
The reorganization of the team this semester has Jack Burggraf as the First
tti-, and Robert Bove as the First Sgt. This semester the team has begun to
practice with rifles and they are now learning the various drills and movements
be performed under aims. So, don't be alarmed by the clanking of weapons, it's
just the drill team marching thru.
There have been several new candidates for membership this semester and if
anyone is interested, he can still join for there is still room for three more
