VICE ADMIRAL STANSFIELD TURNER, US NAVY
President, US Naval War College
Vice Admiral Stansfield Turner became the 36th President of the Naval War College
on June 30, 1972. He is the youngest flag officer and only Rhodes Scholar ever to
assume the presidency of the Navy's senior graduate level educational institution.
A native of Highland Park, Illinois, Vice Admiral Turner entered Amherst College in
1941 and 2 years later transferred to the US Naval Academy at Annapolis. After
graduation he served a year at sea before entering Oxford University where his studies
as a Rhodes Scholar led to a Master's Degree.
After Oxford, he held a variety of sea assignments, including command of a
minesweeper, a destroyer and a guided missile frigate which he placed in commission.
His shore duties included the Politico-Military Policy Division in the Office of the Chief
of Naval Operations, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems
Analysis, the Advanced Management Program at the Harvard Business School and
Executive Assistant and Naval Aide to the Secretary of the Navy.
He was selected for promotion to Rear Admiral in May, 1970 and shortly thereafter
assumed command of a Carrier Task Group of the SIXTH Fleet in the Mediterranean
aboard the aircraft carrier USS Independence. After that and just prior to his
assignment as War College President, he served as Director of the Systems Analysis
Division of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations.

The Cadet Honor Code is the most important single aspect of life in the Cadet Wing.
Therefore, we, the Honor Representatives of the Cadet Wing, believe that it is essential
for you to gain a basic understanding of the Code before you make the decision to enter
the Air Force Academy.
The statement of the Honor Code is very simple. It says--"We will not lie, steal, or
cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does." This is the minimum standard of
integrity which the Wing has set for itself. We believe that it serves as a foundation upon
which each man can build a personal concept of professional ethics and a life-long sense
of honesty and integrity.
You should remember that if you become a cadet, you will be entering four years of
training to prepare you for a career as a professional officer in the United States Air
Force. Naturally, a high sense of honor is important in all professions, but it is absolutely
necessary in the character of the military man. As former Secretary of War Newton Baker
said ". .. The inexact or untruthful soldier trifles with the lives of his fellow men and the
honor of his government ..." The high standards of integrity which our country expects
from its officers must be developed during your cadet years.
We do not attach any special or unusual meanings to any of the words of our Honor
Code. It is based on principles which every American has learned from childhood. We
could not possibly list here all the ways the Honor Code applies to our daily lives. You
will have to become a cadet before you can appreciate the feeling of mutual trust and
respect that comes from living with the Code. However, to insure that you have a basic
understanding of the Code, we will briefly define its terms.
Lying is making an untrue statement with the intent to deceive or mislead.
Stealing is intentionally depriving someone else of his property. If something does not
belong to you, you cannot take it without permission from the owner.
Cheating is taking unfair advantage of others. Certainly the people of the United States
cannot be expected to put their trust in an officer who has cheated his way through his
training.
Finally, each cadet is morally obligated to uphold the standards set by the Honor
Code. To fail in this, to allow other cadets to lower the integrity of the Wing, is to
tolerate. The Code belongs to each cadet, and each cadet must be its guardian. Of course
we do not require anyone to "spy" on another cadet; however, we do insist that a cadet
who becomes aware of a possible honor violation by a fellow cadet take appropriate
action. Normally a personal confrontation will either clear up the matter or cause it to be
properly reported by the offender. We would not delude you by saying that it is an easy
thing to confront another cadet and tell him you suspect him of committing an honor
violation. However, we have a loyalty to the Cadet Wing that must come before our
loyalty to an individual who would tear down the high standards of the Wing. Remember
our profession requires moral courage just as much as it requires physical courage.
Once a possible honor violation is reported, it is thoroughly investigated by the Cadet
Honor Committee, the elected representatives of the Wing. If a possible honor violation
has occurred, the case is heard by an Honor Board consisting of eight impartial Honor
Representatives. Only a unanimous vote of guilty by the Board will result in the accused's
being asked to resign. In all of the proceedings, every possible step is taken to protect the
rights of the accused.
The Cadet Honor Committee is not a police force; it is only a representative body
elected by the Wing to administer the Code. We rely on each cadet's moral courage to
support the Code and report violations of it. If honor violations were prosecuted by the
Academy administration, the Code would eventually be looked upon as just another set
of rules and regulations. Enforcement by cadets assures that our Code remains a cadet
institution.
Quite naturally you may be apprehensive about living by our Code. Let us assure you
that almost everyone has the same feeling when he first enters the Academy. However,
you will be given a complete series of lessons on the Honor Code before you are accepted
as a member of the Wing and expected to accept our minimum standards. During this
period you will come to appreciate the "spirit of the Code" and see that living under the
Code is a privilege. Remember, too, that acts beyond those specified in the simple words
of the Code's statement are not regarded as Honor Code violations. For example, no one
is put on his honor to obey purely administrative regulations and rules. You will not find
it difficult to live by our standards, especially when all those around you are doing it.
In these brief words we have attempted to give you a feeling of our Honor Code. In
closing, let us emphasize the simplicity of the Code. All that is expected of you is that
you be truthful, compete fairly with others, respect others' property, and be so proud of
the Cadet Wing that you will allow no one to detract from his standards.
If you have any further questions regarding the meaning, administration, or function of
the Cadet Honor Code, do not hesitate to contact us.

A Message from the
Cadet Honor Committee
Of all the traditions which are proudly guarded by
the Cadet Wing, the most prized one is the Cadet
Honor Code. You cannot agree to become a member
of the Cadet Wing without first accepting the
responsibility of vigorously supporting the Honor
Code. For those who are sincere in considering the
Academy, we ask you to pause and reflect on what
will be required of you under the Code.
The Honor Code is taught and administered by the
Cadet Honor Committee and supported by each
member of the Cadet Wing. The Code is our way of
life on and off the Academy site. Because of the
profession we have chosen to follow, we cannot
tolerate people among us who are unwilling to abide
by the simple, straight-forward precepts of the Honor
Code.
It is not difficult to live up to the standards of the
Honor Code. The Code is not based on a series of
tricky definitions, but rather on a spirit of mutual
respect and trust. There is a feeling of pride which
comes from living in an environment based on such
principles.
This pamphlet offers a more complete explanation
of the Cadet Honor Code. You should read it
carefully. We salute you for your interest
in the service of your country and wish you the best
of luck.

Aptitu9e2YeTs6-(3PSAT) during his junior
year in high school. The ACT program has no test
comparable to the PSAT, but an applicant may
take the ACT in his junior year since appropriate
adjustments are made in scoring the tests for
educational level of the student. If a student's
score is low in his junior year, he will have time to
re-take the tests during his senior year.
A major portion of the Academy curriculum is
devoted to academic subjects which cover the basic
and engineering sciences, the social sciences, and
humanities. In preparation for the academic
program, the Academy strongly recommends that a
student complete the following courses in high
school.
A young man must first obtain an official
nomination before he can be considered for an
appointment to the Air Force Academy. A
majority of the nominations are allotted to
Members of Congress for residents of their states
and districts. The Academy Catalog contains
information on how to apply. To enter the
Academy upon graduation from high school, a
student should make application to a nominating
authority during the spring of his junior year.
A young man who applies for a cadet
appointment must be:
? A citizen of the United States
? Of good moral character and unmarried
? At least 17 and not have passed his 22nd
birthday on July 1 of the year he would enter
the Academy
? In good physical condition
A candidate takes the following entrance
examinations which indicate his qualifications for a
cadet appointment:
? College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB)
Tests or American College Testing (ACT)
Program
? Qualifying Medical Examination
? Physical Aptitude Examination
PREPARATION
Students who desire to enter the Air Force
Academy will benefit by preparing well in advance
of applying for a cadet appointment. The proper
preparation in the academic, leadership, and
physical areas is vitally important.
Academic Preparation- ?
The CEEB or ACT tests measure a candidate's
potential for success in the Academy academic
program. To prepare for the CEEB tests, an
applicant is advised to take the Preliminary
? English ? 4 units
? Mathematics ? 4 units (to include first-year
algebra, intermediate algebra, trigonometry,
and plane geometry)
Additional high school level courses that would
provide a background for pursuing the Academy
curriculum include:
Biology
Physics
Chemistry
General Science
Mechanical Drawing
Advanced Mathematics
History
Economics
Geography
Government
Psychology
Public Speaking
A course in typing is recommended. Study of a
foreign language is also advisable. The student
should select one language and take all the
instruction possible in it. The Academy requires
each cadet to take one foreign language?either
German, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, or
Russian. A background in one of these languages is
helpful.
A student should strive for excellent grades. A
majority of cadets have ranked in the top tenth of
their high school graduating classes. Over 88 per-
cent have ranked in the top quarter. A student
should rank in the upper forty percent of his class
or he may not qualify for admission to the
Academy without additional schooling.
Approved For Release 2004/11/03 : CIA-RDP80601554R003600260006-3
Approved For Release 2004/11/03
A student who is not prepared to enter the
Academy immediately upon graduation from high
school, or who is unable to obtain an appointment
at that time, is encouraged to attend a preparatory
school or college. The Academy does not endorse
any specific educational institutions.
College credits may be transferred to the
Academy if the courses correspond to those in the
cadet cOrriculum and acceptable grade level has
been achieved. Cadets who have successfully
completed college level high school courses, or
those who have acquired extensive knowledge of a
subject without taking a course, may take
validation examinations after admission in an
effort to obtain credit for comparable Academy
courses. Validation examinations are required for
each new cadet in the subjects of English, foreign
language, history, geography, political science,
mathematics, and chemistry.
Cadets who have made high scores on College
Board Advancement Placement Tests taker in high
school may receive validation credit for compa-
rable Academy courses without taking the
validation examinations.
A cadet who receives transfer or validation
credit will be allowed to complete the comparable
Academy course at an accelerated rate or to omit
the course and take an appropriate substitute. No
matter laow many courses a cadet may validate or
transfer, he must enter as a Fourth Classrnan and
spend fOur years at the Academy.
A cadet with transfer or validation credits will
have more time to gain depth in his major and to
prepare for post-graduate education Some
Academy graduates will be selected for advanced
studies at civilian universities early in their Air
Force careers.
leadership Preparation ? ?
The military training phase of the Academy
curriculum is devoted to preparing the cadet for
leadersf)ip in the Air Force. Active participation
and atievement in high school extracurricular
activities, both athletic and nonathletic, can
provide, valuable experience in prepaTing for
position', of leadership responsibility.
: CIA-RDP80B01554R00360026.0006 3
I he Academy evaluates a ca-natotates leadership
potential by his record of extracurricular activites.
Distinction in these activities, such as being elected
class president or achieving an athletic letter award,
is considered more important than joining in a
variety of activities without evidence of leadership.
In addition to school activities, the Academy
recognizes the Scouts, Civil Air Patrol, and ROTC
as means fur young men to exercise leadership. A
candidate who has not participated in some
extracurricular activities which demonstrate leader-
ship potential may be disqualified for the
Academy, unless circumstances prevented his
participation.
Physical Preparation ? ? ?
A Physical Aptitude Examination measures a
candidate's coordination, strength, and endurance.
A candidate may prepare for this examination by
engaging regularly in vigorous physical activities
such as distance running, sustained exercises, and
individual and team sports. These activities will
also prepare him for the strenuous basic training
program required during his first two months as a
cadet. It is advisable to learn how to swim before
entering the Academy.
Medical Standards ? ?
The Qualifying Medical Examination determines
a candidate's medical qualifications. Approxi-
mately 70 percent of the candidates admitted must
meet the Air Force pilot training medical
qualifications, and the remaining 30 percent must
fulfill the non-pilot medical qualifications. The
Academy Catalog includes a list of illnesses and
injuries which are considered in the medical
examination. Before taking the examination, an
applicant should review his past and present
medical history with the assistance of his parents
and family physician.

VICE ADMIRAL STANSFIELD TURNER, US NAVY
President, US Naval War College
Vice Admiral Stansfield Turner became the 36th President of the Naval War College
on June 30, 1972. He is the youngest flag officer and only Rhodes Scholar ever to
assume the presidency of the Navy's senior graduate level educational institution.
A native of Highland Park, Illinois, Vice Admiral Turner entered Amherst College in
1941 and 2 years later transferred to the US Naval Academy at Annapolis. After
graduation he served a year at sea before entering Oxford University where his studies
as a Rhodes Scholar led to a Master's Degree.
After Oxford, he held a variety of sea assignments, including command of a
minesweeper, a destroyer and a guided missile frigate which he placed in commission.
His shore duties included the Politico-Military Policy Division in the Office of the Chief
of Naval Operations, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Systems
Analysis, the Advanced Management Program at the Harvard Business School and
Executive Assistant and Naval Aide to the Secretary of the Navy.
He was selected for promotion to Rear Admiral in May, 1970 and shortly thereafter
assumed command of a Carrier Task Group of the SIXTH Fleet in the Mediterranean
aboard the aircraft carrier USS Independence. After that and just prior to his
assignment as War College President, he served as Director of the Systems Analysis
Division of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations.

A career in the United States Air Force can begin for you
at the Air Force Academy. An appointment to the Academy
will give you a chance to obtain an excellent college educa-
tion, professional training for aerospace leadership, and a
commission in the Regular Air Force.
The gateway to an Academy appointment can be opened
for you through the Air Force Academy Preparatory School.
The mission of the "Prep School" is to prepare selected
young men for the Air Force Academy. The curriculum is
designed to prepare them to compete in Academy entrance
examinations and to succeed as an Academy cadet in
academic, military, and physical training programs.
Prep School instruction is divided into four areas: English,
mathematics, military training, and physical training. The
school is particularly beneficial to those servicemen who
need additional English and mathematics preparation to
improve their performance on the College Entrance Exam-
ination Board Tests required of Academy candidates.
A majority of the students enter Prep School in the sum-
mer and complete their courses in May. A few enter in
January for a short term that ends in May. Students selected
for cadet appointments enter the Academy early in July.
By studying this booklet, you will learn how to apply for
the school and what will be expected of you as a student.
Additional information about the Air Force Academy is in-
cluded in the Academy catalog available through your Base
Education Office or upon request to: Candidate Advisory
Service, USAF Academy, Colorado 80840.

Guard.
To apply for admission to the Prep School and a nomina-
tion to the Academy, you should take the following steps:
? Visit your Base Education Officer or your Career
Motivation NCO and read AFR 53-14, Air Force Academy
Preparatory School. Then complete Air Force Form 1786 in
duplicate and give it to your commander. He will forward it
along with his statement of recommendation to the Academy.
? Write the high school which you last attended and ask
the principal to send a copy of your transcript to the Asso-
ciate Director of Admissions, United States Air Force
Academy, Colorado 80840. Request submission of your
transcript from any preparatory school or college that you
attended.
Approved For Release 2004/11/03 : CIA-RDP80601554R003600260006-3
? Obtain a copy of your birth certificate and send it to the
Associate Director of Admissions.
? If notified that you meet the minimum qualifications for
Prep School, you must take the Air Force Academy Qualifying
Medical Examination and the Air Force Academy Selection
Test. These examinations are used for further evaluation of
your application.
? If selected for admission to Prep School, you will be
notified through your organization commander to report to
the class entering in the summer. You will be assigned to
the school in your current grade.
In addition to applying for the Academy under the Regular
or Reserve component category, you are advised to apply
for any other type of nomination for which you are eligible.
Additional nominations may improve your chances of re-
ceiving an appointment to the Academy. Refer to the
Academy catalog and study the nominating categories. You
may request nominations from the U. S. Senators from your
state and the U. S. Representative from your congressional
district.
Army, Navy, and
Marine Corps Members
Members of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps are not
eligible to apply for a nomination to the Air Force Academy
under the Regular or Reserve quotas for enlisted members
of the Air Force. To compete for an appointment to the
Academy, a member of one of these services must first
obtain a nomination from a member of Congress or other
authorized source. After receiving a nomination, an enlisted
man may apply for the Prep School according to steps out-
lined in a joint regulation (AFR 53-14, BUPERS INST 1530.-
49C, MCO 1530.5B, Air Force Academy Preparatory School).
Applications may be submitted during the year preceding
desired enrollment.
A serviceman who has previously attended a service
academy preparatory school normally is not eligible to
apply for the Air Force Academy Preparatory School.
Civilian Candidates
Admission to the Prep School directly from civilian life
is authorized for certain individuals who demonstrate
potential to enter the Air Force Academy. Selection of
civilians to attend the Prep School is based on entrance
examination test scores and other candidate records.
Candidates selected must be willing to join the Air Force
Reserve for a six-year commitment. They will be called to
active duty as basic airmen in the Air Force Reserve and will
report for approximately two weeks of basic training prior
to entering the Prep School.

School. If you are selected, the notification will specify the
date and place to report, along with reassignment instruc-
tions. You must agree to extend your enlistment prior to
enrollment if it will expire before 1 July of the year you
would enter the Academy.
An assignment to the school in no way guarantees that
you will receive an appointment to the Academy. Each Prep
School candidate will be considered for an appointment
with other candidates in each nominating category he has
entered. While at the Prep School, you will take the required
entrance examinations for the Academy including the Col-
lege Entrance Examination Board test, physical aptitude
examination, and qualry'rg -nedica! examination.
student
sepoiation
The Commander of the Preparatory School may relieve
a student from his assignment if one of the following con-
ditions exists: (1) failure to maintain academic or medical
standards, (2) unsatisfactory conduct, (3) retention is not
considered to be in the best interest of the government, (4)
personal request by the student for disenrollment due to
lack of desire for an Academy appointment, (5) failure to
maintain basic eligibility defined in AFR 53-10 and the
current Air Force Academy catalog. Disenrollment from the
Prep School for any of these reasons will result in with-
drawal of candidacy from the Academy.
A Prep School student selected while on active duty who
is eliminated from the school or fails to obtain an Academy
appointment will be reported to his branch of service for
reassignment. A civilian called to active duty will be re-
leased from active duty, but will be required to fulfill the
remainder of his six-year Reserve obligation. Enrollment in
a college Air Force ROTC program will satisfy Reserve
participation requirements.

Academic Courses
A Prep School student receives intensive instruction in
English and mathematics to prepare for the College En-
trance Examination Board tests and for the academic pro-
gram of the Academy. The preparatory course begins on the
high school level and proceeds rapidly to college level
material. You should not apply for Prep School unless you
are willing to exert maximum effort in these academic
subjects.
Specific English instruction areas are reading improve-
ment, grammar, rhetoric, vocabulary, logic, composition,
literature, and speech. Students are required to write
themes and essays, give oral reports, participate in panel
discussions, complete workbooks in vocabulary building,
and accomplish grammar exercises. Frequent testing fol-
lows all instruction.
The mathematics courses are algebra, Euclidean and
analytic geometry, plane trigonometry, calculus, and slide
rule.
Students are required to prepare for each lesson before
class with a one-hour reading and problem-solving assign-
ment. A majority of the classroom time is spent with students
solving carefully planned problems at the blackboards.

?????

All members of the Prep School faculty are Air Force
officers who are well qualified for their assignments. Small
class sections permit maximum student participation and
individual attention from instructors. Students are grouped
in classes according to their needs and abilities. Grades are
given every four to six weeks so that each student's progress
can be measured and assistance given accordingly. Students
who have made rapid progress in Prep School may validate
required English and mathematics courses and proceed to
more advanced classes when admitted to the Academy.
Student Training
' Student training prepares the cadet candidate for the
high standards required of Academy cadets. However, the
Prep School does not attempt to parallel the Fourth Class
military training system of the Air Force Cadet Wing.
The student body is organized into a Cadet Candidate
Group which provides practical leadership experience at
the group, squadron, and flight levels. Under the supervision
of the Preparatory School Commander and his staff of
officers and NC0s, students in the chain of command are
responsible for the discipline, supervision, and welfare of
their classmates. Students compete for the opportunity to
perform in leadership positions.
Students attend the Prep School in a military grade and
are paid accordingly. When they wear the regulation uniform,
the insignia of their grade is replaced by Prep School
shoulder boards. Students are called "cadet candidates"
and addressed as "mister."
During their first two weeks at the Prep School, cadet
candidates receive intensive instruction in customs and
courtesies, ceremonies, leadership techniques, and personal
hygiene. Following the orientation, they apply the basic
skills to daily living and develop desirable traits of character
and leadership.
The student training program is climaxed by a week of
intensive physical conditioning, obstacle exercises, and
field training to prepare cadet candidates for the strenuous
summer of basic cadet training at the Air Force Academy.
II
14
Physical Training
Physical training prepares the student for the physical
aptitude examination administered to all Academy candi-
dates and for the strenuous physical education program re-
quired of all cadets. In regular physical training periods,
students take various conditioning exercises including
graduated cross-country runs, grass drills, and calisthenics.
Each student is encouraged to continue his physical con-
ditioning during his free time, and special assistance is
offered to those who need it.
Instruction is conducted in a variety of sports on an
intramural basis among the student squadrons. Intramural
sports include pass football, basketball, volleyball, softball,
wrestling, swimming, water polo, soccer, cross-country, and
flickerball. Prep School varsity teams compete with local
junior colleges and college freshmen teams in football,
basketball, lacrosse, wrestling and, occasionally, in other
sports.

forms satisfactorily in all phases of his training, he may
continue to receive these privileges. A student who has
academic, military, or other difficulties may be restricted to
the school area on weekends.
Students may normally wear civilian clothing when off
duty, off base, or not engaged in prescribed activities.
Students cannot maintain possession of privately owned
vehicles, but they are permitted to arrange auto rentals.
Religious Activities
Students are encouraged to attend Protestant, Catholic,
or Jewish services conducted by base chaplains in the
Community Center. They are also encouraged and permitted
to attend religious services at churches in Colorado Springs.

OVERVIEW OF THE ACADEMY
/03 : CIA-RDP80B01554R003600260006-3
The United States Air Force Academy offers an ex-
tensive, well-rounded education designed to develop
professional military officers.
Inherent in this task are five broad objectives which
are central to each cadet's development:
? Academic knowledge
? Military knowledge, skills and attitude
? Leadership experience
? Ideals of Duty, Honor, and Service to country
? Physical attributes and skills
The Academy Superintendent is responsible for
the overall operation of the Academy. Three
key mission elements administer the Academy pro-
gram. The Dean of the Faculty implements the academic
program and supervises the faculty. The Commandant
of Cadets executes the leadership and military
training program and supervises the Cadet Wing. The
Director of Athletics carries out the physical education,
intercollegiate, and intramural athletic programs.
A broad program to identify and recruit potential
candidates, conducted by the Registrar, supports this
program in assuring well-qualified young men
are selected for appointment to the Academy.
The mission of the Air Force Academy makes the
school different from a civilian college or university.
Cadets must maintain a regulated daily schedule,
conform to strict discipline, live by an
Honor Code, and develop qualities of leadership and
dedication to service in the Air Force.

ACADEMIC PROGR
CURRICULUM. Each cadet is required to com-
plete a sequence of core courses designed to
prepare him for broad responsibilities as an Air
Force officer. The core sequence totals 1401/2 se-
mester hours divided among the areas of instruction
as follows: physical education and athletics-
141/2 semester hours; leadership and military
training-27 semester hours; academics-99 semester
hours. In addition to the core curriculum, each
cadet must complete 461/2 semester hours
in one of 21 academic majors. A total of 187
semester hours are required for graduation.
MAJORS AND ENRICHMENT PROGRAM. The
four academic divisions (Basic Sciences,
Engineering Sciences, Humanities, and Social
Sciences) offer a total of 21 majors. The
curriculum enrichment program allows cadets to
earn credit for courses at an accelerated rate
by successfully completing validation examinations,
transferring credit from other colleges and
universities, taking a heavier than normal semester
hour load, and also by enrolling in accelerated
courses.
GRADUATE EDUCATION. Graduates in the top
15 percent of each class in Graduation Order of
Merit are given assurance of future graduate
education assuming they perform at a high level
as Air Force officers. In addition, cadets may com-
pete with students from other universities
for scholarships and fellowships. Since 1959,16
graduates have been selected as Rhodes Scholars. .
FACULTY. Cadets receive academic instruction
from an all-military faculty. A central part of the
Academy mission is the motivation of
cadets toward a career in the Air Force; this
mission can best be accomplished by military
officers. Each officer-educator assigned to the faculty
holds a master's or doctoral degree in the field
in which he is teaching or a closely related field and
has experience in that field.
ACADEMIC RATING. The Air Force Academy had
the unique distinction of being accredited by the
North Central Association of Colleges and
Universities (NCA) prior to its first graduation. The
Engineers' Council for Professional Development has
accredited the various engineering majors. The
major in chemistry fulfills the recommendations of
the Committee on Professional Training of the
American Chemical Society. In 1969, the NCA re-
accredited the Academy. In summarizing
their findings they stated, "... there is significant
objective evidence of achievement by Air Force cadets
of not only a broad liberal education, but
specialized education in depth as well. In addition,
there is strong evidence of successful development of
highly qualified U.S. Air Force career officers.
When these achievements are coupled with
the individualized achievements of cadets physically
and ethically, the U.S. Air Force Academy
appears to have attained a truly remarkable and
unique record of achievement."

MILITARY TRAINING
TRAINING. The Military Training Program, which qualifies
each graduate to be commissioned as a regular officer in
the U.S. Air Force, distinguishes the Academy from other
universities. Each year cadets receive core classroom training
in military studies. Cadets receive practical leadership
and military training through the Cadet Wing organization
which governs cadet life and activities.
SUMMERS. Cadets spend their first summer at the Academy
in the physically and mentally demanding Basic Cadet
Training (BCT) program.
During the second summer, cadets all receive three weeks
of basic survival training and also select from several options
for three weeks of summer duty in sailplane training, para-
chute training, or working on an Air Force base.
During their last two summers, cadets participate in a
variety of training programs, receiving specialized training, ex-
ercising leadership responsibility in Academy training pro-
grams, and being assigned to a three-week tour of duty with
an Air Force unit (Operation Third Lieutenant).
AVIATION. The aviation opportunities available to the
cadet are a unique and distinguishing feature of the Air
Force Academy. In Basic Cadet Training cadets receive
orientation flights in jet aircraft. Cadets receive sailplane
orientation flights during their first academic year. Optional
programs and elective courses provide further opportunities in
jet flight orientation, soaring, parachuting, light plane flying,
and navigation. Cadets who are physically qualified for
pilot or navigator training may take Academy courses to
complete their first phase of flight training at the Academy.
Pilot qualified cadets receive a flying orientation program
in the Cessna T-41 single engine aircraft. Navigator qualified
cadets receive training in the T-29 flying classroom.
Participation in aviation programs provides exposure to
air operations and is valuable to all cadets regardless
of medical qualification.

REQUIREMENTS. Each cadet must participate in
an extensive athletic program, composed of
physical education courses, intramural sports and
intercollegiate athletics. The physical education and
intramural programs extend through the entire four
years. In the first two years cadets learn and
participate in many contact sports, such as football,
boxing and wrestling. During the last two years
they become proficient in "carry-over" sports--
including golf, tennis, handball, and squash?which
they can compete in throughout their lifetime
to maintain physical fitness.
INTERCOLLEGIATE. Eighteen sports are
included in intercollegiate competition. The Academy
is not a member of a regional conference, but
plays a nationwide schedule. Athletes must take
the same academic courses and maintain the same
grade point average as other cadets. If an

organization. The AFAAA supports the financing
of all intercollegiate sports.
SPORTS RECORD. During recent years, Falcon
varsity teams have recorded better than a 65 percent

ORGANIZATION. The body of cadets is designated
the "Cadet Wing." It is composed of 40
squadrons of approximately 100 men each. The
squadrons, in turn, are organized into four groups of
10 squadrons each. Each cadet squadron consists
of members of all four classes. First classmen (seniors)
hold the command ranks and are designated cadet
officers. Second classmen (juniors) hold the
noncommissioned officer positions. Third (sopho-
mores) and fourth (freshmen) classmen hold
no rank, except for a few third classmen who hold
the rank of cadet staff sergeant. In the cadet
organization there are parallel chains of
command?one made up of cadets, the other of
commissioned officers. The cadets exercise command
and control of the Wing, while the officers act
in supervisory and advisory roles.
CADET DAY. A cadet's normal academic day
starts at 6 a.m. and ends at 10:45 p.m. If a cadet
needs to study beyond 10:45 p.m., he must
have a valid requirement and obtain special permission.
There are four morning and three afternoon
periods of classes daily. Each class averages 15-20
cadets. Physical education classes are conducted
throughout the day; intramural and intercollegiate
teams practice in the afternoon.
A cadet receives his military training
throughout the week, including Saturday morning.
The summer months, from the beginning of June
through the third week in August, are utilized
for concentrated military training, leave, and various
other summer programs.

PRIVILEGES: Special privileges to leave the
Academy on weekends are based on a gradual
transition from the status of fourth classman to first
classman. Privileges are progressively increased by
class in recognition of added maturity and
responsibility. Fourth classmen are restricted
in their privileges, while first classmen are relatively
free on weekends. Cadets are authorized 30
days of leave each of their last three years.
EXTRACURR ICU LAR. There are approximately
60 extracurricular cadet activities, ranging from
hunting and fishing, skiing, and mountain climbing,
to debating and membership on the cadet
magazine and yearbook staffs.
GRADUATES. Air Force Academy graduates re-
ceive an accredited bachelor of science
degree in an academic subject area and a regular
commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S.
Air Force. They are required to serve five years of
active service after graduation. Graduates who
attend pilot or navigator training (approximately
70 percent) must serve an additional year.
Upon graduation, a limited number of Air Force
Academy graduates may be commissioned in other
services upon approval of their application.

"WE WILL NOT LIE, STEAL, OR CHEAT, NOR TOLERATE
AMONG US ANYONE WHO DOES."
Of the many young traditions which are proudly guarded by
the Air Force Cadet Wing, none is more revered than the
Cadet Honor Code. It is entirely the cadets' Code .
adopted by the first Academy class in 1955, and subsequently
administered, interpreted, and cultivated by all classes which
have since become part of the Cadet Wing.
A total commitment to honor is absolutely essential in
the character of the military man. Former Secretary of War
Newton Baker observed ".. . The inexact or untruthful soldier
trifles with the lives of his fellow men and the honor of
his government.. ." The high standards of integrity which our
country expects from its officers must be developed during
their cadet years.
The Honor Code is not an obstacle to be overcome, nor is it
a contradiction to the ethics and mores of society. The cadet
is simply expected to be truthful, to respect others' property, to
compete fairly with others, and to be so proud of the Cadet
Wing that he will allow no one to detract from its standards.
The Code is based on a spirit of mutual respect and trust?on
the belief of this generation of man that "ethical behavior and
public trust are the only means in which to build a
tension-free society, one which is truly progressive." The
Cadet Wing relies on each cadet's moral courage to support
the Code and report violations of it.
The Honor Code is administered by forty elected senior
cadets, each of whom has spent a year studying the Code and
observing its conduct and enforcement. Only after thorough
investigation of a possible violation and a unanimous vote of
guilty by an eight-man Honor Board can a cadet be asked to
resign from the Academy. In all of the proceedings, every pos-
sible step is taken to protect the rights of the accused.
The young man who graduates from the United States Air
Force Academy is dedicated, in future service of his
country, to high personal standards of honorable and ethical
conduct. Given t14140,rtzweillFortFteltelse 2004/11/03 : CIA-RDP80B01554R003600260000-3

"ETHICS AND PROFESSIONALISM MUST BE-
COME SO INGRAINED IN US THAT THEY ARE
INHERENT AND SECOND NATURE TO
OUR BEHAVIOR."
The defense of man's most valuable possession?
freedom?may well rest upon the shoulders of the
graduates of the United States Air Force Academy.
The instillment of a high standard of ethical
conduct in each cadet?a standard which guarantees
the public that a man will strive to accomplish
his mission and do the best and most effective job
within his capabilities?is a primary mission of
the Academy. The Cadet Professional Ethics
Committee was created to develop ethical pride and
provide guidance in the self-improvement of
ethical practices within the Cadet Wing. Esprit,
responsibility, loyalty, and integrity all enter into
the unwritten code which this committee represents.
One cadet from each squadron is elected at the
beginning of his junior year to serve as his
squadron's representative on the Cadet Professional
Ethics Committee. He devotes his first year to
assisting his squadron's senior representative, and
to studying and experiencing the objectives of
the code. At the beginning of his senior year, he be-
comes an active member of the committee. In
this capacity, he conducts training and instruction
In professional ethics, strives to improve
Wing standards, and complements the Honor
Committee by stressing the spirit of the Cadet
Honor Code. The entire scope of his and the com-

ACADEMY LAYOUT - F
CILITIES
GENERAL. The Academy is divided geographically
into four separate areas: Community Center, Ser-
vice and Supply, Family Housing and the Cadet
Area. The areas are separated by forest-covered
valleys and ridges.
COMMUNITY CENTER AREA. The Community
Center area contains the base chapel, recreational and
shopping facilities for military personnel, the enlisted
men's dormitory and dining hall, and a base
gymnasium. Adjacent to the Community Center is the
United States Air Force Academy Preparatory School.
The Academy Prep School provides regular and
reserve enlisted members of the Air Force?selected
on a competitive basis?a 10-month course to prepare
them for admission to the Air Force Academy.
Approximately 225 young men enter the Prep School
each year. Upon graduation almost all become
members of the Cadet Wing as Basic Cadets.
SERVICE AND SUPPLY AREA. The Service and
Supply area is located near the South Gate. The
facilities for the Civil Engineer, Security Police,
Motor Pool, Civilian Personnel, the Noncommissioned
Officers' Club and Base Supply are in this area.
FAMILY HOUSING AREAS. There are two housing
areas on the Academy, Pine and Douglass Valleys.
They presently contain 1,200 privately-constructed
Capehart housing units for officers, NCOs and
their families, with 200 more units proposed for
future construction. In addition, there are 46 sets
of senior officer quarters. Academy families also
occupy 19 houses which were on the land when pur-
chased. Almost 40 percent of the faculty and
staff reside off base.
Approved For Release 2004/11/03 : CIA-RDP80601554R003600260006-3
CADET AREA. The Cadet Area, the major complex
of?the Academy, is about 8 miles from the South Gate.
There are ten major buildings in the Cadet Area:
VANDENBERG HALL (#1), the main cadet
dormitory, is one-quarter of a mile long, six stories
high and houses 2,500 cadets. This building also
contains various meeting rooms and hobby shops, a
cadet store, barber shop, and post office.
Cadets usually live two men to a room. The building
was named in honor of General Hoyt S. Vandenberg,
former Air Force Chief of Staff.
In 1964 President Lyndon B. Johnson signed an
authorization to expand the Cadet Wing to 4,417 men.
This necessitated limited expansion of many of the
existing facilities and the construction of a new
dormitory. This facility, called simply the NEW
DORM (#2), has 830 rooms, dental clinic, barber
shop, and meeting and storage facilities.
MITCHELL HALL (#3) is the cadet dining hall. It is
named in honor of General Billy Mitchell, a
pioneer in military aviation and a Medal of
Honor winner. The entire Cadet Wing can be
fed in one sitting in approximately 25 minutes. There
are more than 2 acres ot floor space within this
facility.
FAIRCHILD HALL (#4) houses virtually all the
facilities essential to the academic training of
the cadets. This six-story building is named in honor
of General Muir S. Fairchild, a pioneer of Air
Force education programs. The cadet library is
located in the extreme northeast portion of Fairchild
Hall. The library, a Federal repository, contains more
than 350,000 volumes, as well as a complete

periodical section featuring a daily newspaper from each
state in the Union, an extensive microfilm library,
music rooms, and several rare collections.
The Academy's athletic programs center on the
CADET GYMNASIUM (#5) and the FIELD HOUSE
(#6). Many of the facilities used in cadet intramural and
intercollegiate programs are housed in the gymnasium?
basketball, volleyball, handball, and squash
courts; boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, fencing,
and judo rooms; and rifle and pistol ranges are all
located in this facility. In addition, the gym contains
two swimming pools; the main one was used for
much of the training of America's 1968 Olympic
swimming team. The Field House has almost a
quarter of a million usable square feet. This
unique sports arena contains a multi-purpose area
with a one-sixth mile tartan track and an infield,
made of Astroturf. A 6,600-seat basketball
arena and a modern ice skating rink are also
featured in this building. Surrounding the entire
complex are 140 acres of athletic fields and more
than 30 tennis courts.
The cadet social center is ARNOLD HALL (#7),
named in honor of General of the Air Force Henry H.
"Hap" Arnold, a World War II Air Force leader.
This facility is similar in function to a student union.
It includes a six-lane bowling alley and other game
rooms, a grand ballroom, a 3,000-seat auditorium,
social lounges, and a snack bar.
The PLANETARIUM (#8) features a Spitz projector
which displays the heavens at any point in time.

academic year.
The offices of the Superintendent and his staff are
located in HARMON HALL (#9). This building is
named in honor of Lieutenant General Hubert
H. Harmon, the first Superintendent of the Academy.
Certainly the most unique building in the
Cadet Area is the CADET CHAPEL (#10). This
magnificent, world-renowned structure towers 150
feet high with 17 aluminum spires. The all-faith
chapel is divided into Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish
chapels, with a separate room reserved for other
denominational services. The Protestant section seats
1,200 people plus 100 in the choir loft; the Catholic
section, 500 persons with 80 in the choir loft; and the
Jewish section, 100 people. All major interior furnishings
throughout the Cadet Chapel were donated
to the Academy.
FALCON STADIUM. Situated in a natural amphi-
theater, the football stadium has 40,800 per-
manent seats; with the addition of temporary
bleachers, the seating capacity can be increased to
over 50,000. Overlooking the stadium is an ultra-
modern three-story press box. The $3.5 million cost
of the stadium was financed completely with
private funds, of which $2.2 million was con-
tributed by members of the Air Force.
HOSPITAL. The Air Force Academy Hospital is an
ultramodern 135-bed hospital with a complete
medical staff of specialists. The Hospital serves the
cadets, assigned military members and their dependents,
and other active and retired military personnel

the Academy. They are part of the Colorado Springs
school system. Children of assigned military per-
sonnel and of civilians residing in the areas adjacent
to the Academy attend these schools.
OTHERS. The Academy site also contains a
cemetery, golf course and a scouting area.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ESTABLISHMENT. The bill authorizing the Air
Force Academy was signed by President Dwight
D. Eisenhower on April 1, 1954. The first class
entered in July 1955 at interim facilities at
Lowry AFB in Denver. Construction of the
Academy began in July 1955. The Cadet Wing
moved to the permanent Academy facilities in
late August 1958, and the first Academy
class of 207 cadets was graduated in June 1959.
SELECTION. Although site selection com-
missions were formed in 1949 and again in
1951, the final commission was appointed by
then Secretary of the Air Force Harold Tal-
bott two days after President Eisenhower
signed the bill. After traveling more than
21,000 miles and considering 582 sites in 45
states, the commission recommended three
locations?Colorado Springs; Alton, III.;
and Lake Geneva, Wis. Secretary Talbott
selected the present site.
LOCATION. Situated 10 miles north of
Colorado Springs, the Air Force Academy is
roughly trapezoidal in shape and comprises
approximately 18,000 acres located on the
forested and rising slopes of the Rampart
Range of the Rocky Mountains. Elevation
varies from 6,300 feet at the south gate to
nearly 8,000 feet along the base of the
Rampart Range. The Cadet Area itself is
above 7,000 feet.
DESIGN. The buildings in the Cadet Area, with
the exception of the Field House, were de-
signed by Skidrr}45p,r&mdizo?rReMage.12004/11/03 : CIA-RDP8

Cadet Chapel was designed by Mr. Walter A.
Netsch, Jr., a member of the same firm. The Field
House was designed by Sverdrup & Parcel and
Associates, Inc., of Washington, D.C.
CONSTRUCTION. The buildings are in con-
temporary architectural style using steel, aluminum
and glass with marble facings. The retaining
walls are granite. The marble is "White Cherokee"
from Georgia. The granite was quarried in
Minnesota. There are 75 miles of paved roads on
the Academy grounds. About 50 miles of gravel
roads traverse the mountains and the valleys.
GEOGRAPHY. The towering Rampart Range
forms the western boundary of the Academy,
with the Academy grounds sloping eastward in
mesas, valleys, and ridges.
Limited mineral resources exist on the Academy
site. At one time a gold mine flourished west of
the Academy Hospital. Two placer claims were
filed in 1901 near the Cadet Area. Several uranium
claims were filed on Academy property between
1950 and 1954. Some oil wells were located about
one mile north of the Academy.
Directly north of the Cadet Area is the
Academy's most distinguishing natural landmark,
"Cathedral Rock," a massive, wind-sculptured
cluster of grayish-brown sandstone 100 feet high.
Many initials and names are carved into the rock,
along with dates going back to the 1870s. Eagle
Peak, the tallest peak in the Rampart Range at
almost 10,000 feet, towers over the Academy
site. It gets its name from early reports that
eagles nested there. The Academy features many

WILDLIFE. The Air Force Academy is a wild-
life management area helping to preserve the
varied wildlife of the Rocky Mountains. There are
many species of wildlife on the Air Force
Academy, including mule deer, wildcat, coyote,
wild turkey, porcupine, a host of wild bird life,
eagle, hawk, falcon, raccoon, elk, weasel,
squirrel, jack rabbit, cottontail, pheasant,
quail, antelope, bear, mountain lion, and timber
rattler. Six lakes are stocked with rainbow and
brook trout, catfish, and bullhead.
PLANT LIFE. The grass which beautifies the
Cadet Area, family housing areas, and other
improved portions of the Academy is Kentucky
bluegrass. It is highly suitable for this area and
withstands the very cold temperatures typical of
this climate. Much of the uncut grass is blue
grama and western and crested wheat planted for
erosion control and beautification. This
vegetation also provides winter feed for Academy
wildlife. Major tree varieties include Ponderosa
pine, Douglas fir, and white fir, Gambles oak,
native elm and a few willows.
TRAILS. Scores of miles of marked hiking
trails wind from lower elevations up through
several passes in the Ramparts and on into the
Pike National Forest, which spreads into the
high country west of the Academy. Hiking, camp-

WILDLIFE/CONSERVATION AWARDS. The
Academy has consistently won military, national
and state awards for its wildlife conservation
programs, including six General Thomas D.
White Conservation of Natural Resources Awards
in the past decade. Since 1964, more than
580,000 trees have been planted over 1,200
acres on the Academy under a 1961 Department
of Defense forestry program authorized by
public law.
CADETS. The Cadet Wing is authorized a
total strength of 4,442.
MILITARY. Approximately 1,100 officers,
of whom about 600 are on the faculty, and
1,200 enlisted personnel are assigned to the
Academy.
CIVILIAN. Approximately 2,000 civilian
personnel work at the Air Force Academy.
ACADEMY COMMUNITY. The Academy
community totals approximately 14,700
persons, including cadets, officers, enlisted
men, civilians, Prep School students, and
about 6,000 dependents of military personnel.

The Air Force Academy is located in El Paso County,
one of the original 17 counties in the territory of
Colorado. The Academy and the entire surrounding
area are rich in the history and legend which character-
ize the Old West. It has been the subject of many
writings and films throughout the years?Katherine
Lee Bates, viewing the area from the summit of Pikes
Peak, gained the inspiration to write the song
"America the Beautiful." Certainly it is impossible in
this booklet to offer a complete history of the Pikes
Peak region. We do, however, think that a brief
narrative will be of interest to you.
The area was visited and populated by many tribes
of Indians long before the white man ventured
this far west. The Ute, Arapahoe, Cheyenne, Kiowa,
Comanche, Sioux, and Apache are all known to have
been in this region. Because of the abundance of water
and game, the Indians found good hunting and
fishing. But they feared living in the foothill regions
because of the strong winds which, to them, were the
voice of the gods and forbade settlement. There
was one sanctuary where all Indians met in peace to
pay homage to the great god, Manitou, who
could heal their sick and wounded at the boiling waters.
This is the area now called Manitou Springs. The
Indians revered much of the area close to the
Rampart Range, extending from what is now the
Garden of the Gods through much of the Academy site.
The earliest white visitors in the area were French
fur traders, who arrived in the early 1700s and stayed
until France was expelled from North America in 1763.

of conquering the 14,110-foot summit of Pikes Peak
in 1820?a feat Lt Pike felt no man could accomplish.
Tales of adventure and potential wealth spurred on
the era of the mountain men and trappers. The
first settlement in the Pikes Peak region, known as
Jimmy's camp, emerged in 1833 about 15 miles southeast
of the present Academy site. This became a well-known
stop on the Cherokee Trail, which wound its way
along Monument Creek, near the present site of the
Academy Visitor Center.
The major settlement of the Pikes Peak area began in
1859 with the gold fever cry of "Pikes Peak or Bust."
Many came to this region in search of gold but
found that it was locked in quartz and not easily extracted.
They did find, however, that the land was rich for
farming and ranching and turned to those pursuits.
As the Colorado Territory came into being in 1861,
homesteading pioneers began constructing log cabins near
Monument Creek. One of these cabins, built by
William Burgess in 1869, still stands on the Academy
site as a memorial to the men and women who pioneered
what is now Douglass Valley. Near the cabin are the graves
of Leonard and Sara Capps. Capps had built a cabin near
the site of the present Air Force Falcon Stadium. During
excavation for the stadium, the graves of the Capps and
their three children were found and the remains were
reinterred at the site of the Burgess cabin. Known as Pioneer
Cabin, it is maintained by the Historical Society of the
Pikes Peak Region.
Indian violence struck the early homesteaders in 1864

was so severe that the newly established Denver to
Pueblo stage run, which ran through the present site of
the Academy air field, was unable to deliver mail for about
three weeks. In 1866,20 settlers in this immediate region
were killed by the Indians. A sketchy tale related by
some of the early residents tells of the battle in the area
near the Monument Creek bridge on the present South
Gate Boulevard.
In 1869, Harlow Teachout, who owned a ranch in
what is now the Woodmen Valley area immediately south
of the Academy, constructed a large house to serve
as a hotel for the Denver to Colorado City (now Colorado
Springs) stage run. It became known as Edgerton
House. The village of Edgerton grew around this house
and reached a peak population of 350 people in
1902. The Academy Service and Supply Area today
stands at the site of Edgerton. The original stage
trail is still visible through this area from the air.
General William J. Palmer founded Colorado Springs in
1871, and the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad first
operated its train through the present Academy site
during the same year. In 1887, the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad extended its rails from Pueblo north
to Denver. Since then, the two lines have run
parallel through Academy property. As late as 1956,
some of the old railroad stations were still visible
on the Academy.

beginning with basic exercises such as push-
ups, knee bends, body twists, chinning, and
running. Once toughened to physical exertion,_,

reasons, as Air Force officers may be required

Incoming class members arrive at the Air Force
Academy... and members of the class are sworn
into the Air Force and become basic cadets.
At the completion of this indoctrination,
basic cadets march to the Jack's Valley en-
campment on the Academy site where they
live for two weeks under field conditions.
They wear fatigues and combat boots, sleep
on cots in tents they erect, and perform many
challenging tasks to test their skills and endur-
ance. Among these challenges are the confi-
dence course which is a series of obstacles
designed to build the cadet's confidence in his
physical ability; the combatives course which
provides realistic training in self defense; and
the group reaction course which utilizes team
ingenuity to solve combat problem situations.
Basic cadets move at a fast pace from
reveille at 6:00 a.m. to taps at 9:00 p.m. On
week nights they are restricted to the cadet
dormitory or field training site. On weekends
their recreational privileges are limited to
scheduled functions. These generally include
an outing at the cadet recreation area, a re-
ception in the cadet social center, and dining-
out at the home of an Academy officer.
Basic cadets who successfully complete the
summer training are accepted as members of
the Air Force Cadet Wing at a parade late in
August. Each one has undoubtedly recognized
that he can withstand more strain and pres-
sure than he believed he could...he has de-
veloped some confidence in his abilities to
function individually and as a team in military
situations... and he is eager to advance in his
military training and begin his education as a
fourth classman.

As soon as a cadet has been admitted to the
Cadet Wing, he is expected to assume the obli-
gation of living by the Honor Code. Basic ca-
dets are prepared in advance for acceptance
of the code. They receive instruction in applica-
tions of the code from elected Cadet Honor
Representatives of the first class. They are
encouraged to ask questions and resolve any
problems of interpretation that might arise.
The Honor Code is specific and clear. It sim-
ply means that maintaining high standards of
trustworthiness is the responsibility of each
man. He is expected to have complete integ-
rity in both word and deed. In practice it is
the foundation for a larger ethical code which
serves the individual as a cadet and a future
officer in a career of service to his country. A
cadet is expected to report himself or any other
cadet who violates the code, and any inten-
tional violation is cause for separation from the
Academy.

intensive prisoner of war training. Third class
cadets also have a three-week diversified pro-
gram of military training with several airman-
ship options available to them.
Physical education during the fourth and
third class years is composed of basic fun-
damentals in aquatics, body development,
combatives, and carryover skills. Cadets are
instructed in wrestling, boxing, and judo to
develop physical confidence and learn skills
of self-defense. In addition they receive instruc-
tion in individual sports which they may con-
tinue to pursue after graduation such as tennis,
golf, squash, handball, and swimming. Each
cadet participates in intramural or intercol-
legiate sports each semester. Competitive
athletics develop courage, stamina, self con-
trol, and teamwork.
Military and physical training are based on
the concept that the heart of an Academy
education comes from development of such
ideals as tradition, honor, ethics, discipline,
patriotism, courage, motivation, and dedica-
tion. Although cadets learn many military
skills, they profit equally by acquiring the
proper attitudes and precepts of leadership.
The laboratory for leadership training is the
Air Force Cadet Wing. All cadets are members
of the Wing, which is operated like an air base
military organization. The Wing is divided into
groups and squadrons with upperclassmen
acting as officers and noncommissioned offi-
cers. Underclassmen are followers in the Wing,
assuming that a cadet must learn to follow
before he can understand and practice the
duties of command.
In addition to functioning as a leadership
laboratory, the Cadet Wing fosters pride and
excellence through competition between the
groups and squadrons. Cadet organizations
compete in a variety of intramural athletics
and in parades, reviews, and drill competitions.

Cadet Life.
?
A cadet's life is different from the average
college student's in many ways. His daily
schedule is more exacting. His privileges and
leaves are regalated. He cannot marry until
after graduation. He may not own an auto-
mobile until his first class year. Although his
expenses are paid by the government, there
is only a limited amount remaining for per-
sonal expenditures. The intent of this arduous
system is to produce a professional officer with
the self-discipline to meet many challenges.
A quest for such excellence, however, must
include time to relax from military duties and
academic studies. Over 50 extracurricular ac-
tivities are available to further the professional
qualifications and hobbies of cadets. All classes
have several social activities scheduled includ-
ing dances in Arnold Hall, the cadet social
center, and outings at Farish Memorial, the
Academy recreation area. Fourth class cadets -
have limited off-base privileges. Privileges are
increased by classoand by individual achieve-
ment in studies and training. All cadets may ;
dine-out in the homes of Academy faculty and
staff personnel on various occasions.-

States or overseas. This provides valuable
firsthand experience in Air Force operations.
Upperclass cadets have several optional sum-
mer training programs at the Academy and
other military installations. The programs may
vary from year-to-year, but the overall pur-
pose remains the same: to place cadets in
new and challenging Air Force environments
to broaden their experiences.
Airmanship is an important phase of mili-
tary instruction for physically qualified cadets
who plan to enter pilot training following
graduation from the Academy. First class
cadets who volunteer for pilot training are
required to take 1-41 light plane flying which
leads to an FAA private license and supple-
ments Phase I of Air Training Command re-
quirements for pilot training. Offered on an
elective basis are courses in other aeronauti-
cal specialties which lead to FAA ratings in
both aircraft and sailplanes. Navigation
training and parachute training are also
elective options.
Physical education and athletics for upper-
classmen emphasizes physical leadership
training, advanced skills in combative situa-
tions, importance of physical fitness, and in-
struction in carryover skills. Upperclassmen
continue to participate in intramural sports,
and they act as assistant coaches and of-
ficials in contests among the cadet squadrons.
During a cadet's entire four years he must
take a physical fitness test each semester.
Many cadets from all classes participate in
one or more of the 17 intercollegiate sports.
The opportunity for a number of cadets to
compete is broadened by extensive schedules
arranged at the freshman, junior varsity, and
varsity levels.

examinations are given to each cadet to measure his prior knowledge and achievement in certain courses. Passing
examination requirements entitles the cadet to validation credit for comparable Academy courses. He will receive
transfer credit for acceptable grades in previous college courses comparable to those in the Academy curriculum.
A cadet with validation or transfer credits will have more time to gain depth in his major and to prepare for advanced
education after graduation from the Academy.
Academic Instruction
The Academy's academic atmosphere is relaxed and instructors encourage student participation in the small class
sections averaging 15 to 25 cadets. They challenge cadets to think, question, and speak for themselves. Cadets do
considerable laboratory and research work on their own. The classrooms, laboratories, and library are supplied with
modern equipment and reference materials. One of the most outstanding facilities is the Aeronautics Laboratory which
is equipped with supersonic and subsonic wind tunnels, shock tubes, and jet and rocket engines.
Achievement
Cadets are evaluated on the whole man concept, combining achievement in academic, military, and physical
education. They must maintain proficiency in all areas in order to graduate. Those who achieve the highest per-
formance are recognized through merit lists and authorized to wear distinctive uniform insignia. Cadets who have
difficulty in some areas may consult their instructors and receive assistance promptly. Extensive counseling services
are available in various phases of instruction and cadet life.

Lt. Zebulon Pike, traveling west with fifteen
soldiers to bring back information to the Gov-
ernment about the Louisiana territory which the
United States had acquired, sat erect in his
saddle as he spotted a tall mountain which
appeared like a small blue cloud on the after-
noon of November 15, 1806. Pike and his men,
clad only in thin cotton uniforms, could not
safely scale the snow-covered mountain. Since
Pike was the? first to describe the beautiful
14,000 foot peak and to draw a map of it, he
is considered its discoverer. Pike later became
an Army General with brave military accom-
plishments to his credit.
In the 1850's the peak lured gold seekers
and mountain climbers. In 1 869 it lured
William J. Palmer, a railroad engineer who
had been a Civil War General, to move to this
region and purchase the land which is now
Colorado Springs. Palmer built the Denver and
Rio Grande railroad on the land north and
south along the eastern slope of the Rockies.
(On July 31, 1871, the first stake in a colony of
settlers was drawn in Colorado Springs, and
General Palmer became the official founder
of the city.) A promoter of many cultural and
business interests, he envisioned the city's
growth into a tourist resort.
In 1878 silver strikes in Leadville, a small
mining town in the mountains, brought riches
to the Pike's Peak area. In 1 891 the discovery
of gold at Cripple Creek heaped more riches
on Colorado Springs. During that year Spencer
Penrose from Philadelphia, a Harvard" dracly-
afe, came west to seek adventure and a for-
tune. He made a multimillion-dollar forteme in
Cripple Creek gold, and with part of his wealth
expanded the Broadmoor into one of the most
fabulous hotel resorts in the country. Before his
death, he established the El Pomar Po[iiinqation
to provide gifts to schools, churches,'Hospitqls,
and the fine arts.
In 1954 Congress authorized the-establish-
_ _
ment of the Air Force Academy. The committee
on site selection chose the large acreage near
Colorado Springs, after screening some 400
locations and visiting proposed.' sites' in'22
states. Colorado contributed-. $1 ,090,.000
toward purchase of the land. BeloNni?t:He,spec-
tacular range of mountains on 18,000 acres,
the United States Air Force Academy was con-
structed on a high mesa. On this land Indians
of the Arapahoe and Cheyenne tribes i),ed to
roam. With the beginning of white colonization
of the area in the 1870's, the land was settled
by ranchers for raising livestock.
In the 1970's young Academy cadet's', .being
educated for Air Force leadership,,I,c'iokjlo the
Pike's Peak summit as an -aspiririg
.goal up-
ward into new horizons of aerospace., They
hope to conquer new space frontiers just as,
brave pioneering men like Zebulon
Wil-
