Aerospace Seeks Pentagon Branch
By Carol Friedman
USC’s Institute of Aerospace Safety and Management is currently negotiating a contract to establish a resident center in the Pentagon.
The institute now runs 22 resident programs in the United States and five foreign countries.
Organized in two divisions, the institutes undergraduate program is a 10-week course in aviation safety, while the graduate course leads to a master’s degree in Aerospace Operations Management.
The undergraduate aviation safety program has conducted 10-week courses for military officers of the Army, Navy and Air Force since 1962.
Officers enrolled in the institute take five courses; aerospace engineering, electrical systems, aircraft accident investigation and prevention, aviation psychology and aerospace physiology.
Five days a week, seven hours a day, the officers study the causes of aircraft accidents and ways of preventing accidents.
One course of particular interest is aviation psychology taught by Chaytor Mason, a clinical psychologist
and former military pilot. The course is designed to give safety officers an insight into psychological factors involved in aircraft accidents.
Mason, a master of the double entendre, is possibly the most popular instructor participating in the course. His fresh approach and unorthodox classroom technique never fail to capture the attention of his students.
During one lecture on the effects of fear on the pilot, Mason instructed his class to sit back and relax. “Pretend you’ve just finished a big Thanksgiving dinner,” he said.
As the class responded to his instructions Mason nonchalantly continued describing what fear does to the pilot and how it might affect his judgment.
Suddenly with one swift movement, Mason pulled out a pistol and fired in the air. As 27 startled Army officers practically jumped out of their seats Mason calmly explained what was happening to them: increased respiration, flow of adrenalin, and tension in the muscles all over the body.
After two-and-a-half months of study under Chaytor
Mason and five other instructors the officers graduate and return to active duty. Some of them leave for military bases in the United States while others go to serve in places such as Caracas, Venezuela or South Vietnam.
The graduate division of the Institute of Aerospace Safety and Management is headed by Dr. Herold A, Sherman.
The graduate program leading to a master’s degree in aerospace operations is designed for the student who wants to pursue a career in aerospace.
This program attempts to help aerospace managers to communicate with specialists and technicians with whom they work. To direct the activities of these scientists the aerospace manager must understand the problems these men must face.
After receiving their master’s degree the aerospace managers are knowledgable in the fields of fuels, metal fatigue, reciprocating, turbine and rocket engines, space environment and physical and psychological stresses on crew members. He understands the problems of the scientists he manages and he speaks their language.

For the Archaeological Council, this is the year of the Big Dig.
Small groups of students led by Dr. Gerald Larue, professor of Biblical history and archaeology, have conducted archaeological excavations in the Holy Land on three previous years, 1963, 1965, and 1966.
But this year’s student-professional team, representing the fast-g rowing Archaeological Council, will have 43 members who will fly to Israel to begin examination of the ruins of a 2000-year-old Roman fortress on June 21.
Site of the Big Dig will be at Khirbet Mazra’a, a few miles south of Haifa, where the party will work for eight weeks.
Membership of the party generally ranges from high school age to graduate student and includes a number of adults, three married couples, and a third-grader. Student and professional interests vary from anthropology to aerospace engineering and include business, cinema, art history, religion, political science, sociology, psychology, and even medicine.
Preparation for the Big Dig has been underway for more than six months and the party
