Hospitality In Tennessee, Marvelous
Says Dr. Smotherman, Workshop Director
Hospitality by the civic and
educational leadership of the ten
Tennessee cities visited by members of the Advanced Aerospace
Workshop from Middle Tennessee
State College was "simply marvelous" according to Dr. B e a 1 e r
Smotherman, director of the workshop.
The failure of Tennessee residents to realize the economic advantage provided by the small city
airports was a theme that was
stressed over and over as the 58
visitors were greeted and feted at
Lebanon, Cookeville, Crossville,
Rockwood, Chattanooga, Knoxvillc,
McMinnville, S h e 1 b y v i 11 e and
Lawrenceburg. Thirteen aircraft,
all four-place or larger, made the
tour, although the plane of Governor Clement had to leave the tour
at McMinnville Sunday morning to
make another engagement in Wisconsin.
Hammond Fowler, a member of
the Tennessee Public Service Commission, speaking at a luncheon
meeting at the mountain airport
that bears his name, commended
the college and the Tennessee
Bureau of Aeronautics for carrying
the message of Tennessee aviation
advantages into the school of the
State. At a breakfast tendered the
group at Lakeshore Resort in
Chattanooga Tarbell Patton started
that many industries had been influenced to come to Tennessee by
the well developed network of more
than 70 airports and airstrips available.
The entire workshop group, accompanied by college officials, left
early Monday by Tennessee Air
National Guard transport planes
for a two-day visit to the United
States Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado.
This is the first year that the

PEACE CORPS SETS TEST DATE
Requests from 47 nations for additional Peace Corps
Volunteers late this year have prompted the addition of a
July 20 date for national administration of the Peace Corps
Placement Test.
Dr. Ed Henry, director of the Peace Corps selection
division, said the non-competitive test will be given by the
Civil Service Commission in more than 800 communities on
Saturday, July 20, and again on August 24. Both start at
8:30 a.m.
"In order to meet even the most urgent requests from
Latin America, Africa and Asia, we plan to start training
Srograms each month from August through December," Dr.
enry said. "I hope all interested college students who
complete degree requirements during summer sessions will
submit their applications and take one of the tests."
More than 2,000 prospective Volunteers will enter training
during the last five months of 1963 to supplement the 5,000
now in the field and the 3,000 in training during the summer.
Students can obtain the location of the nearest test site by
calling the local CSC. Only requirement for admission is that
the applicant has already submitted a Peace Corps Questionaire
or brings his completed application with him.
The test, which can't be "passed" or "failed" in the
traditional sense, includes one-half sections on general aptitude and modern language aptitude. Students who have had
any prior training in Spanish or French take an additional
one-hour test or proficiency in the appropriate one.
Survivor Of "Death. March'
Plans IA Teaching Career
There are many fascinating biographies on the Middle Tennessee
State College campus that only
need a tip to be revealing. Such a
tip came recently from Dean N. C.
Beasley, who in conversation with
Antonio Casanova discovered a
story of courage, achievement and
appreciation for America almost
unparalleled.
Master Sergeant Casanova was
born in Portugal, the oldest son of
industrious north Portuguese
parents. His father emigrated to
the United States in 1920. Some
years later the mother made the
trip to the new world, joining her
husband in Massachusetts, where
he was employed as a machinist in
a ship yard. The two children remained in Portugal with their
grand parents. In America a brother and a sister were born and
in the mid-thirites Antonio and
his brother came to join the family
and to become naturalized American citizens.
As world War II approached
Antonio joined the United States
Army Air Force, a fighter squadron, and was sent to the Phillipine
Islands. He was there when the
Japanese struck. As a POW he
endured the rigors of the notorious
Bataan death march. His American
born brother joined the American
Army, the 117th Division. He was
sent to the European theatre and
there gave his life in the Battle of
the Bulge.
Meantime Antonio and some of
his fellow prisinors of war were
sent to Japan. Some of these POW
ships were sunk by American submarines and bombers. That on
which Antonio was a passenger
had a narrow escape from American torpedoes. Assigned to work in
a Japanese steel mill his life until
near the close of the war was a
grinding routine of harsh labor,
poor food and constant danger.
These mills were the primarytarget of the American bomber
which hit Nagasaki (the secondarytarget) on August 9, 1945. The
same day these mills were turned
into a holocaust by incendaries.

Gary Head Wins National Golf Title
First in MTSC History
Gary Head's triumph in the
NCAA golf tournament at Springfield ,Mo. recently marked the
first time in the history of the
school that an MTSC individual
(or team) has claimed a national
title.
The Springfield senior golfer's
sub-par 69-73-67-70-278 beat out
his nearest opponent, Larry Fryer
of Hardin-Simmons by three strokes.
Although Head was ten under
par for the four rounds, he had
his work cut out for him.
Fryer shot the final day's best
round, a 4-under par 68. and Head
had to finish with par to win the
title.
But, pressure golf was nothing
new to the Springfield, Tenn. senior. During his four years of play
for Coach E. K. Patty's MTSC team,
the Blue Raiders never lost a dual
match.
They also captured the Tennessee Intrcollegiate and Ohio Valley
Conference championships all four
years that Gary was a member of
the team.
Head's final round of 70 brought
the first NCAA title to a Blue
Raider golfer. He was the only
MTSC entry in the big tournament
this year.
Springfield State came from behind to beat out Aquinas and
Chico, Calif. State for the team
title.
Gary will graduate in January
with a degree in social science.
The former Galatia star played
freshman ball with the University
of Missouri last year, but dropped
out of school at the end of the
Spring semester. He will sit out the
1963-64 season to become eligible
for play in the Ohio Valley Conference.
While playing for Galatia, Sutter

tour, says they will spend the rest
