Cerro Coso Commencement

Graduates ~rged to do their part for America Graduates (110 in all) of the Cerro Coso

Community College Class of 1981 were . cballenged to involve themselves in all areas of American life throughout the com­ing decade and beyond in order . to lend grassroots support to measures necessary to overcome crises in America - ranging from inflation to energy to declining productivity - during the Commencement address delivered last Friday night by capt. William B. Haff, NWC Commander.

"The problems may sound overwhelming, but they are not as great as the problems faced by the colonists who founded this nation," the NWC Commander stated as he warmed up to the theme of his talk in which be called for a "better and ",United states of America."

capt. Haff, spesking at the eighth annual Cerro Coso College graduation, emphasized !bat the graduates, as individuals, can make a difference in the direction taken by Ibis country as he called for a revival of the American sense of individual and community responsibility.

Even though their future professions and life styles will cover a wide range, the manner in whiel> they collectively approach their professions , as they relate to America 's renewal Will bave direct impact on a "reUnited states of America," Capt. Haff told the graduates.

He alao remarked about the strong comPetitive spirit found in this country as n6where else on earth, and urged individual involvement in sports competition, even on an informal basis, because of the way such competition can contribute to success later

in life. Capt. Haff cautioned, however, against

overemphasis on the idea of HwirmiDg at all costs" at the expense of teamwork, self­discipline, and fair play. " Cooperation with each other is as important to our country's betterment as competition," he remarked.

The NWC Commander also cited the need for ingenuity and resourcefulness to im­prove the quality of education in America,

something he feels !bat can be done without spending an immense amount of money.

Turning his attention next to the state of the economy, the college graduation speaker noted !bat American society thrives on free enterprise, but added !bat the "business world's competitive edge bas been somewbat dulled over the past years." He urged that the graduates playa part in helping to restore America's competitive edge, which will require a change in the way government and business management operates if industry is to win back markets at home and abroad . .

' ''Ibis kind of a change cannot come about without emanating from our younger generation," the NWC Commander said as he mentiOned the need for the "right" ·kind of tax cuts to encourage savings and investment. ''lbe United States can't grow unless all Americans start saving more and spending less. nus is a major hurdle for all of us to overcome," he stated.

Despite · the somber picture he had painted, capt. Haff was quick to couoter with what he ref..-red to as an "amazing balance sheet of assets." As an example of this, he mentioned the historical flight of the Space ShutUe Columbia .

' 'This scientific achievement tells me a ' coupl~ of significant ~ngs . The first is tbat Ibis achievement places us at the edge of the unknown and, secondly, our country bas halted the perceived retreat from the greatest of all frontiers - outer space," the NWC Commander said.

Magorian's many inv ... tiOl\l bave been applied to the development of adv.nced fuzing and sensor systems that are now finding their way into the neel. Among the systems that are now in the advanced or engineering development state at NWC that have utilized bis inventiona are :

(1) 1be Dual Gate Target Detecting Device (TDD) found direct applicatiOCl in the Fuel Air EJ:pIosive (F AE) II weapon proximity fuze system. The primary feature of this invention is its foilage penetration capability that permits the TDD to distinguisb foilage while providing a highly accurate means of determinl .. proximity to the surface immediately heneath the foliage .

(2) A radar missile detector and warning system for the protection of helicopters was successfully demonstrated. and led to the later development of the Attack Warning and Protection System for whicb Magorian also has applied for a patent. 1be concepts Magorian developed have found their way into industry. most notably in the Missile Warning System now being developed by Honeywell for the protection of the Air Force's A-IO aircraft.

(3) Concepts developed in the Range Tracking Device for Portable Attack Warning'. as well as for the Ranging Communicator on whlcb Magorian has applied for a patent. have been applied to the RF suboystem of the Hybrid Terminal Assist Landi .. System (HYTAL)'

The HYT AL system is still in developmalt. but field tests have shown that this very simple range tracking technique is highly accurate and has great poientlal for a variety of applications.

Other notable developments that took place either under Magarian's direction. or which he 8CcompUshed personally. include:

(1) E:o:perimentaJ verification of target Signature generation by radar modelq techniques.

(2) Definition and assessm ... t of several Soviet missile fuzes.

(3) Definition and assessment of radar seeker/fuze concepts.

(4) Assessment of U.S.IUSSR chaff technology .

(5) Development of the Encounter Simulation Laboratory.

Proposals outlined to improve quality of life in military

Legis\ative proposals designed to improve the quality-of-llfe ill the military have heen addressed to the Congress by Secretary of Defense Casper W. Weinberger.

The proposals. which include a July 1. 19111. pay raise of 5.3 percent for military personnel. are in addition to the com­pensation improvements of the fair benefits package whlcb became effective on Jan. 1. 19111.

Secretary Weinberger said in ouUining the proposals: "In combination with major compensation. legis\ation enacted by the 96th Congress. the Administration Program will reduce long-standing deficiencies in military pay and restore past levels of compensation comparability. These changes not only will significantly enJ.ance our ability to attract and retain the kinds and numbers of people we need to meet our military manpower requirements. but will also once again make our military people first class citizens."

Other details of the quality-of-Iife proposals include:

(1) improvements in family housing. barracks. commissaries and related facilities.

(2) New construction of &:"ven dependents' scbooI.s in Gennany. Japan and Korea.

(3) Additional reimbursements to belp defray moving costs when service members are reassigned.

Gene Schneider. the guest speaker. will present a talk entitled "Structured Documentation. "

According to Ms. Sc;hneider. ''Structured Documentation' t is (or anyone who is involved in either plaMing or writing manuals of any sort. for any product or process. It is needed for two reasons: there is no formal theory of what constitutes effective documentation. and there is no way to automate or del"llllte most documentation tasks.

"Documentation standards abound." Ms. Schneider states. "but most are unusable for the above reasons. Structured documentation solves both problems by providing a standard format for text and ezhibits within a document and a standard process for planning and design of docwnents, 'f she added.

Ms. Schneider is the chief consultant to NWC's Central Computing Facility in the areas of documentation and data acquisition/reductlon. Sbe is also in charge of maifllaining the Cinethendolite Data Collection Srstem. which conditions data from the tracki .. cameras on the Center's ranges.

Saving water means energy saving says Dept. of Energy

According to Department of Energy figures. 30 gallons of water are required to adequately fill the average home bath tub with about 9 inches of water.

A short shower, using a shower head that restricts water flow to 3 or 4 gallons a minute. can take considerably less water. Along with the water saving comes energy saving as well because less hot water is needed. (People generally do not take long cold showers.)

1be Energy Program Oftice encourges energy saving .throughout the Center. in­cluding in the housing area. About 14 per­ce~t of the Center's total energy is con­sumed by the residential area. Of this amount. about 20 percent - nearly 43.000 MBTUs-is used to heat water.
