The aircraft departed Air Force Plant 42, Palmdale, Calif., at 10:31 (Pacific standard time) and landed at Edwards AFB,Calif., one hour and 25 minutes later. The B-1 was rolled out of Rockwell ternational’s In- final assembly facility at Palmdale Oct. 26. Since then, it has undergone ground engine tests’ final checkout of air- craft sybsystems, a series of low-and high- speed, tests and an extensive review of the aireraft’s readiness to fly. The: -siirst -- flight assessed the B-1’s low- speed flying qualities. After take off, the aircraft climbed to 10,000 feet where sub- system operation and flying qualities were evaluated, throttle transient tests and afterburner lights were conducted and the B-1s airspeed system was calibrated. The crew then brought the air- craft in for a landing at Edwards AFB. All tests were conducted with the landing gear down at a top airspeed limited to approximately 180 knots. Crewmembers of the first flight included Rockwell’s Charles C. Bock, Jr., pilot; Col. Emil Sturmthal of the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB, copilot; and Richard Abrams, Rock- well flight test engineer. Following a stand- down during the holiday period, it is anticipated that test flights from Edwards AFB will be scheduled ap- proximately three times per month. This will allow time for Air Force and Rock- well engineers to as- similate the extensive test data- gathered on ., each flight.

Its faster speed, ability to fly at treetop altitudes, and its reduced radar cross section will give it a greater capability to penetrate an enemy’s most advanced defense. alain pa nn no 0 «0.6 © 0.6.8 0.66 0.0.6:0.0 0.0 6.0.6.0 076-0) 07076 ka" e760 67a 676 OS OOO OOO tLe M008 9.0 0.08.88 0% 8% 8 OO One mares FORCE Command AIR SYSTEMS Aeronautical Systems Division at Wright- Patterson AFB, Ohio, is responsible for overall B-1 system develop- ment.

Airmen Dorm ‘Most Modern’ WASHINGTON — Air Force will be the first of the services to offer its bachelor enlisteds and junior grade officers what some officials eall the “most modern dormitories ever pro- vided any U.S. servicemen.” Two weeks ago a contract was let to Community Seience Corporation of Newport Beach, Calif, for the con- struction of 2574 officer and airmen dormitory spaces at seven bases. As pictured in the accompanying floor plans, these barracks are unlike anything the services — AF included — — — have ever offered their bachelor airmen and officers. The airmen rooms are designed for two enlisted men and allow 214 square feet of living space. There is ample closet space for storage, desks and chairs for each man, and a large bathroom which features a tub/shower arrangement. Both men will share a sink and small refrigerator. There will be. outlets for television and tele- phones. Individual year round temper- ature controls are provided. The rooms are to be soundproof. Thirty-two square. feet of tack board f Junior Grade BOQ Kitchen comes with each room for posters, pinups, ete. Draperies, special “drop ean lamps”, and smoke detectors are standard. The new junior officer quarters offer all the amenities included in the airmen rooms except that they are larger, have 360 square feet, a full _ kitehen, and are intended for only one man. . ‘Furniture for both airmen and officer dorms will contribute to a “mod” motif, but may vary from base- aa Lingering Draft F: aces Malingering Drattees WASHINGTON (UPI) — Selective ser- vice officials fear men facing the tail end of the draft next spring may suddenly _ lasting just long enough to keep them out of the Army until the draft expires June 30. : The officials are trying to plan the — draft’s dying gasp to make it as equitable as possible and to minimize the ehances for the imaginative to outsmart the system. ae Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird an- nounced ,Tuesday that ‘‘less than 10,000” men will be drafted next year. Selective Service officials said the highest lottery number to be called up would be “‘at worst _ No. 40, but probably much lower.’’ _The officials said the fact the draft ends June 30 isan open invitation to men with low 1973 lottery numbers to try to delay their induction. Even-a man with No. 1 will be home free if the Army has not been able to induct him by midnight June 30 when the draft law expires. _. The issue is one of fairness rather than - _ just getting bodies, as officials see it. They © _ feel if the Army is going to call up say, come down with an epidemic of the flu _—- Nos. 1 through 10, then they ought to take ~ everyone in that group and not let the -slyer ones slip by. ‘‘In a sense its like the prelottery days,” one official said. ‘“Then the smarter kids, the college kids, knew the many loopholes and could often avoid the draft while the not-so-aware fellow was left holding the bags’ aia Officials point out that about half of all the men called up for induction have legitimate excuses for not appearing —they are ill or their cars break down on the way to the induction center. These men are normally inducted the following month so the delay does not-matter. There are also youths who oppose their 1-A classification and appeal to a higher level of Selective Service or to the courts. That can tie things up and prevent their being drafted for some time even if they lose the appeal. : i ss Closet Officer Dorms to-base and from command-to-com- mand. More dorms of this design are slated for the future, but only at bases where an absolute need for barracks exists, such as remote sites, training bases, ete. It is AF policy to let as many single airmen and officers move off base as possible with BAQ. Ground- breaking at the seven bases will occur within the next three months. The bases are Dover, Del.; Homestead, _ Fla.; Langley, Va.; Mountain Home, Idaho; Norton and Castle, Calif., and McChord, Wash. 8 MANY HANDS TO SHAKE. . .Major William Hardy yesterday afternoon.

He saluted the American flag; he did not deface it. When he was called to serve, he stepped forward and pledged his allegiance.”’ “Today our community has a purpose in proclaiming this day Major William H. Hardy Day. That purpose is manifold in expressing our thanks and good wishes to him.”’ Leslie also thanked Major Hardy for his years of service and sacrifice in Vietnam. Expressions of gratitude and of good wishes were made by Mrs. Ann H. White on behalf of the family, by John Taylor, for the Greenville City Council, and by Dr. Frank Fuller, also a city council member.

This program includes an extensive ground school taught by Colonel John D._ Duffus, professor of Aerospace Studies. . Such topics as _ pre-flight training, Federal Aviation Regulations, navigation, and ‘the flight computer are covered. AIR FORCE PAYS The actual flying school is taught at the Pitt-Greenville airport by a civilian instructor under a government contract. The Air Force pays for the entire program. The first solo flight is taken in the after approximately 9% hours of flying time have been accumulated. In addition to this solo to. obtaining a. ~ flight, each student must plan and fly a local cross-country “route. ‘A total of at least 36 hours must be spent in the air before completing the program. FINAL TEST The final step in obtaining a license is the passing of the written test given by the Federal government. By. the time each student actually receives his license, the Air Force has paid $900 for his training. FOUR-YEAR SCHOLARSHIP In addition to this free pilot training, the pilot candidate may qualify for a four- year scholarship that includes a $50 per — month subsistence allowance.

At least seven of these new officers came away with a little bit more than a diploma and a commission, because they have won a private pilots license through participation in the AFROTC flight instruction AFTER SOLOING. : Col. professor of Aerospace Studies at ECU talks with soloed in the AFROTC’s FIP program. program at ECU. According to Lt. Col. Kenneth W. Field, assistant professor of Aerospace Studies the flight instruction program (FIP) serves as a screening device to weed out those who ‘‘won’t cut the mustard later on a pilots’ and acts as a motivational device ‘“‘to encourage people to come into the ROTC program.”’ Under FIP, ROTC seniors are taught to fly at no cost to the Earl D. Bruton Jr., ’ Color Control Patches student. A contractor is engaged to provide 35 hours of flight instruction to the cadets, in- cluding 20 hours dual instruction and 15 hours solo flight. In ad- dition, a ground school course is taught by ROTC instructors. The ECU students have received their instruction over the past few years through a contract with Jim Darden at Pitt-Greenville Air Service. Cost per student in the flight program, Col. Field said is about $860. The officer explained there are two ways Students can enter the ROTC program. First, he noted, a student can enter when a freshman, taking military subjects during his entire four years at the university and spending one four-week period at summer camp between his sophomore and junior years. Or, Col. Field explained, a person can enter the ROTC program in his junior year, taking a heavier load of military classes after spending a six- week period in summer training. In addition to the free flight instruction given qualifying seniors, Col. Field noted that other financial benefits are available to ROTC participants. He said scholarships are available which provide for full tuition, laboratory expenses, incidental fees and allowances for textbooks. In addition, scholarship recipients and all cadets in the Professional Officer Corps (students in their junior and senior years) receive a subsistence allowance. The subsistence allowance totals $100 per month. After graduation and com- missioning, FIP pilot candidates enter a 48-week long program, where they receive 208 flight hours, 273 academic hours and 160 training hours in simulators to qualify them as Air Force pilots. The seven cadets who have won private pilot licenses through the flight instruction program this year include David B. Stevens Jr. and Carl T. Knott Jr. both of Greenville; Billy R. Craft of Jacksonville; Ronnie W. Smith of Route 2, Hamlett; James A. Steele of Goldsboro; Franklin W. Sutton Jr. of Kin- ston; and Michael J. Ulmer of ‘Annandale,Va. alle J. A.

Those who become pilots will be trained to fly transport, fighter or bomber aircraft. Airport services students sy BRENDA FORBIS Staff Writer The Greenville airport may seem small in size, but not in service. Few students realize the services available to them by the airport, according to Jim Darden, airport manager and owner of flight services. Although there are no regular commercial flights at the airport, charter service is readily available. Darden said the few students who use this service fly to a nearby airport to catch regular commercial flights. RENTAL SERVICE A twin engine charter plane to Raleigh, which seats up to five passengers costs $85. A single engine plane, which seats up to three passengers, costs $40. Qualified faculty members or student pilots may take advantage of the rental service. In /ae*’’ Darden said, several facu:.y\members are regular customers. A Cessna 150, which seats the pilot and one passenger can be rented for $20 with the pilot and $14 without. Perhaps the most beneficial and interesting service for students is the FAA-approved flight school, said Darden, a veteran World War II fighter pilot. STUDENT TRAINING One _ full-time and _ two part-time pilots are on hand to train student pilots. Full-time - instructor, Jim Davenport, is an ECU _ graduate’ with instructor, commercial and instrumental flying licenses. To teach the student skillful management of the plane is the main objective of the course, Darden said. The lessons continue as long as progress is achieved. One may earn a private, commercial, instructor or instrumental license. Most students earn private licenses, Darden said, although several have gone all the way to instrumental flying (learning to Fads FAM HERS operate in clouds and rough weather). If a sufficient number of students are interested, ground school classes can be arranged in each of these areas. Lessons, with an instructor, ate =324 “per. hour: ing 2 four-place plane; $18 per hour in a two-place plane, and are available by appointment. Presently a Cessna 172 is being used. ; For the past five years, the flight school has. trained the ECU Air Force ROTC unit. Graduates are eligible to go directly into flight training in the Air Force, putting them a step ahead of those without previous training. NOT LIMITED Airport traffic is by no means limited to local charter services and lessons, however. Athletic teams have chartered Piedmont or Southern airline planes to pick them up here. Parents often fly in their family planes to take students ‘home for vacations, Darden /4¢- Ber 70 said. Entertainers frequently arrive at the Greenville airport in private planes; or, the Greenville charter service may pick up an entertainer at a nearby airport and fly him here, as was the case when Drew Pearson came several years ago. TRAFFIC PROBLEM There. is rarely a_ traffic problem at the airport, said Darden. Transit corporation planes are much more frequent visitors to the airport than in previous years, as more businessmen now fly into Greenville. The busiest day at the airport recently, Darden said, was the day of the eclipse, when planes came from all over the eastern United States. Emergency landings are also rare, Darden said. However, occasionally, lost pilots have been heard on the radio and “talked into” the Greenville airport. acttemet s a. acl. standing Player; Carl Summerell, Most Valuable Player, Lansche Award and Swindell Memorial Award; Greg Troupe, Blocking Trophy; and Mike Myrick, E.

Summerell won three of the seven awards presented to outstanding members of the 1973 Southern Conference Cham- pionship team. Summerell was named. the Most Valuable Player on the team, then added the Swindell Memorial Award, for team dedication, and the Lansche Award, as the Outstanding Senior. Mike Myrick was named the winner of the E. E. Rawl Memorial Award, presented to the senior who best shows scholarship, athletic ability and ‘character. The Outstanding Player Award went to Carlester Crumpler, record setting run- ning back for the Bucs, while Greg Troupe was the recipient of the Blocking Trophy. The Outstanding Freshman Award went to Jim Bolding, who was third in the nation in in- terceptions. Coach Pat Dye announced during the evening that Sum- merell had been selected for the College All-America game in Texas to be played June 22. Summerell will quarterback the East Team. The featured speaker for the evening was former Clemson University athletic director and coach, Frank Howard, whose talk consisted of anecdotes from his long career. “But I’ve retired as coach and athletic director,’’ he told the audience. ‘‘They said it was for reasons of health. I made ‘the alumni sick.” ECU Banque? He then turned to Clarence Stasavich, current ECU athletic director and former head coach ‘ and said, ‘“‘What’s the reason you quit, Stas? the same thing?”’ Howard told East Carolina to remain in the Southern Con- ference and not try to join the Atlantic Coast Conference. ‘“The ACC has the most ignorant faculty people around,’’ he said—a dig at the 800 rule in that conference. ‘‘All the best foot- ball players around ended up in Georgia.” Howard talked about the former boss of Dye, Alabama Coach Bear Bryant. ‘“‘he’s the only coach I know who can hire a , college president and give him a _ one-year make-good contract. , While the rest of us have two- platoon football, he has three- platoons. One for offense, one for defense, and one that actually goes to class.” Returning to Stasavich, he asked if he had ever given up the single wing and gone to the ‘“‘I’’? “‘No,’’ Stasavich replied. “Maybe that’s why you’re not still coachine ’? Howard said Turning to Dye, he asked him to ‘look at me, boy! This is what you’re gonna look like after coaching for a while. I told that to another fella and he quit right there.”’ Howard then told the group that they had a fine coach. ‘‘He played under a good coach, a tough coach, and he became a tough player. He had to be tough under Wallace Butts. And he coached under Bear Bryant. In fact, I tried to hire him three’ different times. He knows his football.’ Howard then gave the formula for winning: a good ad- ministration, a good headcoach, good assistants, a good recruiter; good players who are good students who love football, and a lot of luck. ‘‘You’ve got to have the wind blowing in the right direction; you have to get the breaks with the officials, (and you have to know how to talk to them); you have to make the close plays, and you can’t give up the big ones.”’ WE ARE THE WARRIORS OF A Cam o% aFR wards © -cre Ss 20 iscipline, character ard Held zenship. ® Military Order of the i War Medal was presented det Charles R.

The end of the Vietnam war also brought an end to the dem- onstrations and protests that hurt many ROTC programs, forcing some colleges to aban- don them completely and caus- ing others to make them volun- tary instead of mandatory. “Things are more relaxed now,” said Richard D.

Figures for past years show a steady decline — from 160,900 students in 1970 to 63,200 last, year. ROTC officials on campus, however, say the downward, trend has been reversed. At Berkeley, for example, there were 120 recruits for Navy ROTC last fall compared with an estimated 135 to 150 this fall. At the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Army ROTC enrollment up 19 per cent this year after a six-year decline. Parade And i Awards Day Cadets in East Carolina University’s Air Force ROTC Detachment 600 will march in their annual ‘‘Chancellor’s Review’ Parade at noon Tuesday, May 14. The parade and an awards It May (1Y ceremony will take place at the Archery Field on College Hill Drive. In case of inclement weather, the parade will be cancelled and awards ceremonies will be held in 214 Library Building. Awards will be presented by ECU Chancellor Leo Jenkins, Mrs. Howard A. I.

In addition to cadet awards, two Air Force ROTC staff members, Tech. Sgt. Ernest W. Fadely and Staff Sgt. William B. Langley will receive Air Force Commendation Medals _ for Meritorious Service. Fadely is completing a 20 year career in the Air Force. 12—The Daily Reflector, Greenville, N.C.—Friday, May 19, 1972 Dr. Leo Jenkins, president of East Carolina University, urged ECU’s Ari Force ROTC cadets to contribute to ‘“‘the making of a better, safer, more peaceful world for all’? at the annual Pass-in-Review ceremony on the campus Tuesday. In a brief address before the cadets and several Air Force officials, Dr. Jenkins praised ECU’s AFROTC Detachment 600 | for its service projects,a such as March of Dimes and Red Cross blood. campaigns and fund- raising drives for un- derprivileged children. ‘‘We need officers who see the power of military force applied to civic actions and humanitarian efforts, who can wage peace as effectively as they engage in combat,’ said Dr. Jenkins. ‘‘We need leaders who respect tradition, but who are not afraid to question it.”’ Seventeen cadets received special recognition for out- standing acedemic and ROTC records.

On Monday, 186 units were given, with 37 rejects. Tuesday, an even larger turn out resulted in 210 units collected, with 56 students rejected. Most of the rejects were due to volunteers having a cold or virus, thus not qualifying them to give at the time. ‘Cadel Jeff Wilson and the Air Force ROTC are really to be commended for an outstanding job,”” Morgan commented. ‘‘This hard working group and the Angel Flight went all out to make this the successful drive it was.”’ Morgan also expressed ap- preciation for others whom he said ‘‘worked diligently to make it an effective drive.’’ These are the volunteer nurses from Greenville, members of the Greenville Service League, and the offices of the Deans of Men and Women. The deans offices, Morgan noted, were _ in- strumental in getting word to the students. Top contributors as groups were the Alpha Zi Delta Sorority and for fraternities, the Sigma Phi Epsilon. “TI have been told,’’ Morgan commented, ‘‘that many of the students give as a memorial gesture to Tate Nabors.’’ Nabors was an ECU student who died following a motorcycle accident. With the successful two day collection, Morgan commented, ‘‘We are now 146 units behind our quota, We were 260 units behind, and hope to close the gap even more in the future drives.’’ The next collection date is December 2; when the blood- mobile will be Sponsored by the Moose Lodge at the Moose Lodge in Greenville. Blood drive set The Air Force ROTC sponsored blood drive returns to the ECU campus April 21-22. The blood drive will be in South Cafeteria from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, and 10 am. to 4 p.m. on Thursday. Through passage of a new law, of 18 years or over will not be required to present parents’ signatures to donate blood. The leading fraternity and sorority donating blood will be awarded plaques by the Red Cross. Excuses will be given to students who miss class while donating blood, There will be refreshments in the dining hall for those who donates Jo pr 7 [oun taint herd 2-Day Blood Drive The American Red Cross Bloodmobile is coming to ' Greenville again for a two day collection drive. Mrs. Ruth Taylor, Executive Director of the American Red Cross has announced that the Pitt County bloodmobile unit will be on campus at East Carolina University for a two day drive Wednesday and Thursday. On Wednesday the unit will be on hand from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. On Thursday the hours will be from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. The AFROTC is sponsoring the drive on campus. “Our quota for each day is 160 units,’’ Mrs. Taylor commented. ‘‘However, we hope very much to surpass this amount in this drive, as we now stand 295 units behind our designated quota for this time of year.” Citizens from the community are urged to take part in this drive along with students and faculty from ECU. ’ The bloodmobile unit will be located in the vicinity of the South Cafeteria on campus. Mrs. Taylor announced that Douglas Morgan, chairman of the Pitt County American . Red . Cross Bloodmobile Unit had resigned the chairmanship. “He has done a marvelous job for us over the past four years,’ Mrs. Taylor said, “and we regret Doug will not be with us longer.” Topped Blood Quota East Carolina University students on Wednesday and Thursday once more proved _in tangible terms. their concern for others. By giving 380 units of blood in the two day American Red Cross Pitt County Blood- mobile drive, they went over the top, surpassing by 60 units the 320 unit quota for the drive. Had it not been for the large | number of rejects, a total of | 75 (due mostly to donors being unacceptable because of having colds), the over-the- goal tally would have been much greater. “Those kids did a beautiful job in turning out,’ Mrs. Ruth Taylor, Executive Director of the Pitt County Chapter of the American Red Cross commented. “And I want to say how much we appreciate the truly fine job accomplished by those promoting and taking the drive on as a project,” Mrs. Taylor added. She said that Greg Garland and Al Day, both of the AFROTC, were co-chairmen of the drive. Others she cited for Providing valuable assistance were members of Angel Flight; Phi Sigma Pi, a national honor fraternity ‘whose efforts were headed by | Tom House, student nurses from the university; and members of the Greenville Service League.

Fabisch , 1973 campaign chairman, said the response to the various activities in the campaign were splendid. “Altogether, we! have now Capt. Gerald A. Fabisch of Aerospace Studies is acting as this year’s director for the Pitt County March of Dimes. He Netted $4,000 reached the $8,200 mark in our March of Dimes campaign,” he said. The 1973 goal is $10,000. In addition to the nearly $4,000 collected by the cadets, the three day Mother’s March on January 19, 20, and 21 has, according to co-chairman Mrs. William Bruner, “netted $3,105 to date. We still have some kits out to be reported, and hopefully will get about $500 more,’’ she stated. The Jaycette Coffee Day realized about $100, with possibly more to come in from merchants. Fabisch said that in addition to these three fund raising drives, another $1,100 (Continued on Page 6) Cadets... (Continued from page 1) collected from mailers sent out, and that more was still to be expected from that source. Two other major events are scheduled for the annual March of Dimes drive. One is the Dance-A-Thon to be held at Wright Auditorium on February 17. The other event, originally scheduled to be held February 3, has now been postponed until sometime in March. That is the Walk-A-Thon. Fabisch said a new date would be announced within a few weeks. said Pitt County has not done anything like this in about 12 years, and that this year’s goal is $10,000. Capt. Fabisch hopes the Dance-A-Thon will bring at least $500. EFFORTS CONTINUE in Pitt County. The county will receive a sizable portion for its battle against sick-cell anemia. Capt.

Sponsors will agree to pay so much per hour for each hour the person he _ sponsors continues to dance (or move in ‘me to the music after the first ' ¢V hours). # Thus, if a sponsor agrees -to sponsor a couple, at say, $2.00 per hour, and the couple manages six hours of continuous dancing, then the individual, merchant or business - firm sponsoring that couple would donate $12.00 to the March of Dimes campaign. Participant cards are to be picked up at Wright Auditurium. Members of the East Carolina University AAFROTC and the Anglé Flight are sponsoring the Dance-A-Thon. This is the next to last even of the 1973 campaign for the March of Dimes. The final event is to be a 25 mile Walk-A-Thon.

For the 1973 event, Cadet Captain Thomas Shubert, a native of Hicksville, New York, and Cadet ist Lt. Ron Lipe of Asheville are co-chairmen for the Marchathon. “Hopefully, we will also be joined by representatives from the fraternities,’’ Cadet Captain Shubert commented. Shubert is also drill master for the AFROTC Drill Team, a select group of a dozen cadets who will again this year furnish . traction for the entertainment of the public. “The drill team will perform in two locations during the morning in Greenville,’ Shubert said. ‘“‘We’ll be at the Pitt County Courthouse from nine til about ten-thirty, then go to Pitt Plaza where we’ll perform until noon time.” “In the afternoon,’’ the drill commander pointed out, ‘we will make routines the team wil “In the afternoon,”’ the drill commander pointed out, ‘‘we will make appearances in Farmville and Bethel.’’ He said that some of the drill routines the team will perform . will ciclude the Queen Anne, Salute, Black Out, and the 13, 16 and 20 count manual. ‘‘We’ll also do the In-A-Squad-Halt,”’ he added. All of these are elaborate military drills designed to display the dexterity and discipline of exercises. Shurbert explained that the local Army Reserve unit will be giving assistance to the AFROTC unit. ‘They are sup- plying us with a two and a half ton truck with driver, and will in addition supply us a food truck,” he stated. The 1973 Marchathon begins tomorrow morning at nine o’clock and lasts until five in the afternoon. “Our people will be on just about all of the major in- tersections in Greenville,’’ Shubert said, ‘‘and will be at main points in the other towns we’re covering.”’ He mentioned also that when a person contributes he would be given a piece of identification paper to place in his windshield to show that he already made his contribution. As the collection progresses during the day, plans are to periodically -post the results. Shubert said this would be done at one central point, at Wachovia Bank at Fifth and Greene Street. Shubert said ‘‘we are. all hoping this is a successful drive and that we’ll reach our goal of $4,000. Our group feels this is a very worthy cause, and we’re happy to do our bit to collect as much as we can to help out.”’ Colonel Earl D.

East Carolina University also plans to honor veterans at today’s football game and tonight with a free per- formance of the Tar River Community Band. Veterans Day was authorized in 1954 as a holiday to honor all the nation’s veter- ans. It grew from the commemoration of the end of fighting during World War I which occurred on Nov. 11, 1818. In the late 1960s, Congress moved Vet- erans Day to late October. However, the holiday’s link to Nov. 11 was strong, and the observance was returned to Nov. 11 in 1978. The Arnold Air Society, a service orga- nization connected to ECU’s Air Force, ROTC, marked Veterans Day on Friday with a program honoring prisoners of war and missing in action service mem- bers. The 2000 U.S. Census showed 792,646 veterans live in North Carolina, accord- ing to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. More than 10,400 live in Pitt County.
