HAILED 'EAGLE OF THE MONTH'
CHARLES DAYE
By Christyal Brown
Chosen as the “E^gle of the
Month” for September is a
leader, a politician, business
man, and an ardent lover of
sports—Charles Edward Daye.
A native of Durham, Daye
graduated with honors from
Merrick-Moore High School.
Before graduating, however,
Daye served as president of the
Student Council, president of
the Association of North Caro
lina Library Clubs, and govern
or of Boy’s State.
Presently, Daye, is a senior
political science major at North
Carolina College. Running for
president of his freshman class,
started him up his political
ladder. Defeated in his bid for
the presidency of the freshman
class, he has won many rounds
since then and he now holds
the highest political office at
tainable—the presidency of the
Student Government Associa
tion.
During his leisure time, Daye
likes to write poetry, read,
bowl, swim, and play badmin
ton. The 21-year-old young
man is the eldest of seven chil
dren. A persistent rumor is
that he practices his oratory on
his five younger sisters and
brother.
During the past summer.
Daye worked in the State De
partment as an intern with the
Office of Malaysian Affairs
which is one of the branches of
the Bureau of Southwest-Pacif
ic Affairs. He has visited many
Asian countries, including Ja
pan, China, and India.
His next goal? You guessed
it—the White House.

the best track coaches in the
United States and I preferred
him as my head track coach.”

Wake Up, Study

study area that is free from
distractions to make study a
primary part of college life.
If such things as a lackadaisi
cal attitude and poor study hab
its are eliminated early in
school, many of the students
who end up on academic
probation would not be there.
Instead of saying “Oh, what’s
the use of studying?” and do
ing something that is more en
tertaining, try facing up to the
problem with interest and de
termination.

Oh! Oh! what about the boys-
though? Well, then, maybe we’d
better try the Administration)
Building. But then there’s that
climbing of stairs to the second
floor and as you must open a
door to enter the rest room you
must do likewise upon leaving.
(What place can one find more
filth than on a rest room door
knob?)
Oh, and then upon returning
to your place in the cafeteria,
you find that (if your col
leagues respected your claim on
your tray) you have guests for
dinner. Who else but the ever
present N. C. C. flies. You
know, I heard that the Eagle
was the animated symbol of this
institution but I’m beginning to
wonder ! ! ! !
Oh well, just thought I men
tion it.

Capable of speeds better than 2,000 mph,
the YF-12A is the hottest aircraft around.
Now Maj. Walter F. Daniel, test pilot for the YF-12A,
answers your questions about the world’s fastest
manned airplane and America’s Aerospace Team.
(Maj. Daniel, a test pilot since 1954, is a member
of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots. He
received a B.S. degree in Aeronautical Engineering
from the University of Oklahoma. In February
1962, he set world class tirne-to-climb records in a
T-38 jet trainer.)
Is the YF-12A the world’s fastest manned aircraft?
It certainly is. On May 1 of this year the YF-12A
(formerly known as the A-11) reclaimed the world
absolute speed record from the USSR. It was
clocked at 2,062 mph over Edwards Air Force Base.
How big is the YF-12A?
The exact dimensions of the YF-12A have not been
released yet. But it’s approximately 100 feet long,
with about a SO-foot wingspan. lliat’s half again
as big as our present interceptors!
Is the Air Force training many men
as pilots these days?
Yes, very definitely. In spite of all you hear about
unmanned vehicles, the human pilot is still very
much in the picture. As a matter of fact, the Air
Force pilot quota is on the increase.'
What other kinds of jobs does the Air Force offer?
Since it’s one of the world's foremost technological
organizations, the Air Force has plenty of openings
for scientists and engineers. There are also many
challenging and varied administrative-managerisd
positions.
What do I have to do to become
an Air Force officer?
Air Force ROTC is the best way to get started as an
Air Force officer. The new two-year Air Force
ROTC program makes this method available to
men who have already completed a year or two of
their college education. For college graduates, if
you did not take advantage of ROTC, you can
still get started through Air Force Officer Training
School (OTS), a three-month course open to both
men and women.
Can I keep up my studies while
I’m in the Air Force?
The Air Force encourages its men and women to
continue their educations. For instance, you may
qualify to study for a graduate degree during off-
duty hours, with the Air Force paying a substantial
part of the tuition.
What kind of future do I have in (he Air Force?
A bright one. As we move further into the Aero
space Age, the Air Force is going to grow even
more important. And you can grow with it!
