Red Key is an honorary club on campus. In order to be eligible for membership a student must have at least a 2.5 grade point average. Pam Sanders stated, We have plenty of kids on campus who have good grades and this way they are given some recognition. They manage to do everything. When questioned about the trend to deemphasize grades in colleges and univers- ities and what effect it might have on the future ofthe club, Pat Jones replied, As long as there are people in the world there will be those who strive to achieve more and those who will settle for less, thus there will always be a club like this in one form or another. Pam added, Each year we have a lot of incoming freshmen who want to join, and the girls, who are in a majority, usually dojoinf' Pat was questioned about the problem of cheating in the classrooms around the world, and asked if Red Key has any rule about cheating. She retorted, It has al- ways been that way and some will continue to look for the easy way out? She ended with, There's often no wav to prove they have been cheating so how can any real control be exercised.

Flying isn't all fun as Don Pope and Dave Baker show by giving a plane its weekly bath. With the practice of smoking marijuana becom- ing more common along with more people wanting to legalize it, a staff member questioned Mark Lin- dell about the laws pertaining to pilots who are caught with marijuana. He remarked, Automatically his airmen, certifi- cate is suspended, sometimes for a year and other times forever. Don Pope added, Also he has to face the conse- quences ofthe federal and state laws. When asked if he thought marijuana would ever be legalized, Mark responded, Yes, the laws will lessen, but not for a long time. Eventually it will be legalized in small amounts. Where a pilot is involved, Mark stated, Never will the law permit flyers to fly under any intoxi- cation. Flying is very demanding and the respons- ibility is great today and will be greater in years to come. As to there being much ofa problem with flyers and drugs, Don commented, There hasn't been much about this in thenationalqstandards, but in the profession's standards there has. Asked whether the laws for drinking were the same as those for marijuana Don replied, The pi- lot can't drink eight hours before his flight time. Generally twenty-four hours is the custom, Mark added that there is no real problem of drinking with pilots. About the percentage of the total accidents at- tributed to drugs and drinking, Mark said, As many as fifty percent, three-fourths caused by al- cholol and the remainder by drugs. This reflects only on a minority of pilots even though it seems to be a bigger problem, Mark con- eluded.
