plied to the general education
portion of your college degree.
Courses Offered
Courses to be offered are:
H-41 — “Western Civilization”
(Monday & Wednesday nights)
A basic course designed to give a
wider appreciation of the civili-
zation in which we live. This
portion begins with the Fall of
the Roman Empire and comes
through the Middle Ages.

tions adjust their relations; di-
plomacy, laws of war and neutra-
lity; laws of sea; law of outer-

day nights) A study of the his-
seeking program.
The Atlantic Division director
stated that he plans to spend fif-
teen minutes per student during
the daytime counseling periods for
the duration of his visit to each
center.
To Interview Students
He desires that each “counselee”
have the following information
available for the interview:
1. The date and place for first
matriculation with the University
of Maryand
2. A list of all courses and
grades with the U of M
3. If other transcripts are not
available, a list of courses and
grades from other academical in-
stitutions
4. If possible, your military his-
tory
5. If known, your primary area
of concentration
He expressed admiration for the
work people are doing to keep the
program alive. As to the recruiting
of new resident lecturers, he said,
“The recruiting of new resident
lecturers is going slowly but I
have several very promising pro-
spective applicants in view who
will be completing their academic
requirements in the next few
months.”
More Lecturers Needed
He went on to say, “At the
same time, I am continually on
the lookout for qualified men who
are interested in joining the At-
lantic Division. You yourselves, if
you share my belief in the work
of this Program, can be of the
greatest value in this regard if
you know of friends or colleagues
whom you might encourage to join
with us.”
Mr. Slayton’s visit to Keflavik
will conclude his one-month semi-
annual tour to Greenland, New-
foundland and Iceland that began
around Sept. 27. Among the bases
he will have visited will have been
Thule, Sonderstrom, Goose Bay,
Harmon, Argentia and Keflavik.
At present, 50 students on base
are enrolled at the U of M’s Term
I course taking a variety of sub-
jects. The new Term II is sched-
uled to begin Oct. 18. For those
interested, contact the Education
and Training Office at Ext. 5139
or 5238.
EIGHT YEARS OF SERVICE—David A. Pomranky,. MR2, and Floyd E. White, ADJ1, each sign their
reenlistment papers which bind them to four more years of military active duty. The reenlistment cere-
mony took place Oct. 1, at 1 p.m., in the office of Capt Emile E. Pierre, Jr., commanding officer of Naval
Station.
NEW VOLCANIC ISLAND?—Friday, Oct. 1, about 44 miles SSW
of Keflavik the water in this spot began to turn blue green, and
waves started breaking as though something were building up under
the water. No signs of vapors, or bubbling water, but brown streaks
(on the right in the picture) are evidence of volcanic silt rising up
from below. Icelandic scientists did not believe it would develop into
anything big, but, only time will tell.
Station Boy Scouts Celebrate
lOtli Anniversary With Dinner
Boy Scout Troop 364 marked the 10th anniversary of
scouting in Iceland Oct. 1 with a dinner in the CPO Club
Ballroom.
Guest speaker Cdr R.C. James, executive officer of the
Keflavik Naval Station, acknowledged the various scouting
activities of the station troop, and Capt T.J. Bratten, Nav-
CommSta commanding officer, presided over a brief cere-
mony in which A.W. Hayes re-‘
lieved H.A. Covington as scout-
master.
Following the formal portion of
the program, the various patrols
presented skits they had prepared
especially for the commemoration.
Several years of scouting in Ice-
land were depicted through movies
and slides, narrated by Mr. John
Barbacci and Jim Adams.
Good Relations
During these ten years the
scouts have maintained congenial
relationships with the Icelandic
scouts and have been invited on
various campouts each year. In
return the American Scouts have
sponsored several tours of the base
for the Icelandic Scouts. One of
the highlights of the period was
in 1963 when several of the sta-
tion scouts were invited to attend
the 50th anniversary of Icelandic
scouting.
tion the station troops toured the
Icelandic president’s home and
spent some time with the first
family of Iceland.
Future Plans
Currently the Station Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts have joined
forces to renovate two buildings
across the street from the Youth
Center to be used as a permanent
place for scouting. The work is
being done on a self-help basis
with the parents lending a hand
when needed.
The station scouts are presently
meeting at the Youth Center on
Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. Any
boys between the ages of 11 to
14 are invited to join the troop.
It is the aim and hope to
make the next ten years even
more fruitful than the past 10
years have been for the local
scouts according to the Scout-
master.
Approximately a thousand
scouts from all over the world
attended and the guest speaker of
the event was the wife of Lord
Baden Powell, the founder of
scouting. During the commemora-
Treasury Dept, records show
that millions of Americans now
own more than $48 billion in Se-
ries E and H U.S. Savings bonds.
