AIR FORCE ROTC Military exhibitions, balls and Olympics made up the best part of the year for the Air Force ROTC, plus regular Thursday drill. One of the highlights of the year was the crowning of Miss Topflight, Susan Elle. Lt. Col. Henry Gantz, pro- fessor of Aerospace studies made the presentation at the annual Air Force ROTC ball. Also this year Col. George A. Fin- nam, Director of Inspection for the Air University of Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala. He visited the campus for inspection and stayed to tour for three days. Scholarships rated high on the list for criteria this year. Skills and abili- ties needed by the AIR FORCE were the primary reason for awarding scholarships this year. Lt. Col. Gantz said. The 1,000 financial assistance schol- arships brought the total of grants made on the program up to 2,000. Of the 1,000 scholarships awarded last year on the nationwide basis, Tech students received eight. Scholarships are retained by a cadet as long as he continues to meet the standards expected of him even if he should transfer to another school. The big event on campus was the ROTC Olympics. Cadets vied for prizes along with Angel Flights. Events were everything from egg race to sack jumps, races and military events.
