WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER While most vacationing students were splashing around the swimming pool trying to keep cool last summer, John Kreps, junior in civil engineering from Lewistown, was sit ting on an ice cap in Greenland studying the physical and mechanical properties of ice and snow. _ Kr e p s was employed by the Snow, Ice and Permafrost Re search Establishment, Wilmet, 111., as a research assistant in snow structures and snow mechanics. "The main thing we are trying to accomplish up there is to find ways of utilizing the insitue ma terials in building shelters for armed forces personnel stationed on the ice 'cap," he said. Kreps became interested in ice and snow research while he was in the army from 1953-56. He was assigned to the First Engineer Task Force whose field of opera tions was Thule Air Base, Green land. He conducted logistics re search for small scientific parties who were based on an ice cap near the field for extended per iods of time. "My job entailed determining the amount of people, food and supplies needed to do a certain research project, and then get ting them to the project site," he said. Often he had to "midnight re-, quisition" what he needed. "Mid-I night requisitioning," in the ar-I my, means that when everyone is asleep you go get what you want. This is commonly referred to as, "borrowing." "Once I had to midnight requis ition an airplane," he said. "I had; an air drop scheduled for the next, day and there was only one air; craft at the base I was flying: from. So when the crew went! for crew rest, I got permission; from the operations office t t• to un-, load the plane. Then I rel aded it . with my air drop cargc, woke the crew, and off we welt on a mission they didn't know they had scheduled."
