Radio's Menace in 1932

Freshmen information for the schoolyear 1932-33 included : The freshman

uniform this year will be red cap, redsweater and white trousers . Freshmen aresupposed to wear these uniforms to foot-ball games. The entire uniform costs $4.35 .

No one dreamed of a TV ruckus in foot-ball . Radio was the enemy of the gate 20years ago. The Sooner Magazine noted thecontroversy : "Big Six football games willbe broadcast this year as in the past, al-though there was some opposition to doingso at a meeting of the various athletic di-rectors in Kansas City . . ."TheSooner for October, 1932, had words

of praise of the football team . "One of themost outstanding and colorful players everto grace Oklahoma's gridiron is PaulYoung, Norman .

We are most anxious to know what we are coming upon .We took a sounding at the pole and got 14,000 . We are starting now to lay out detectorsthe length of the island (about 10 miles) for some refraction shots. A plane from Alaskawill come out and drop 500 lb . bombs for us when we are ready. We necessarily startedout on a shoestring but fortunately we had meteorological equipment, current measuringequipment, surveying equipment, some oceanograpic gear and seismic equipment. I amcoming out in June to get a marine biologist, oceanographer and cryologist . YesterdayCraig and I made a trip around the perimeter (31 miles) . On the east end we found aline of boulders two miles long, some of which weigh tons . It looks to me like NewEngland granite-like they put on the front of a bank . Thin layers of dirt lie everyfew feet in the ice for as deep as we have cored (about 25 ft .) . The general elevation abovesea level is 30' to 35'. W have a Frost gravity meter which indicates a bobbing period ofabout 40 sec. From that you can make your own guess about the thickness. I suspect thatnumerous fresh water lakes are trapped in the ice . One such lake near the camp we usefor a water supply . It is 11' deep and lies under 8' of ice .We are all having great fun now that the temperatures are comfortable . We have seen

bear tracks twice and fox signs twice but no living thing. I am planning to go sit by alead one day soon and try to find a seal .

Cordially yours, Joe(Lt. Col . J . O. Fletcher, '41bs)

1n a letter to President G. L. Cross, Dr . Schriever gives a thumbnail sketch ofLt . Col. f . O. Fletcher, '41 bs .

I am sure you often wish for interesting news concerning graduates of O.U . I havea letter from the North Pole which, I believe, will be of interest to you. . . He (ColonelFletcher) completed A.F . meteorology training and then fighter pilot training . He servedin meteorological research for the A.F . during and since the war. In January 1950 hevisited in my home with his bride; he was on his way to Fairbanks, Alaska, to commandthe squadron which flies to the North Pole and back and to Tokyo and back, everyfew days .

These men located the floating ice islands in the Arctic Ocean on their flights . Thelargest is T-3 (about 9 x 7 miles) ; Joe got the A.F . to approve his expedition . He andtwo other men flew from Greenland to T-3 and landed on it and set up housekeepingand observations last spring-it was 55° below zero F. at that time . At least three dif-ferent stories in Life, with pictures, have appeared since last January ; two concerned T-3.

The weather station on T-3 is Joe's idea and he deserves a lot of credit for getting theAir Force to provide the necessary men and equipment.

Needless to say I am proud of Joe. Sincerely yours, William Schriever.
