Time to count noses The checklists for the groat American nose count are, rolling off the presses. They are the census questionnaires, which soon will show how many more of us there are now

than 10 years ago. And, they will reveal how we are changing with the times, tuning our lifestyles to the energy

crunch, social trends, and housing demands, reports the National Geographic Society. By about this time next year, when the forms have been tallied, the Bureau of the Census expects

to find 222 million people living under the Stars and Stripes. That will be a 9 percent increase over the 1970 census figures, the most recent of the population

counts that have been made every 10 years in one form or another since 1790, as ordered by our founding fathers.

The main purpose of the count - now as 190 years ago - is to determine how many congress- men the citizens of each state can elect. The Constitutionallots one congressman for every 30,000 people.

This year some of the questions reflect how Americans are changing with the times. To the question that.identifies members of a household, "partner" has been added to obtain

statistics on the growing number of people who live together without being married. As a result of increasing ethnic awareness. the question on "race," which is not mentioned by

ame, now offers 15 choices of national origin, including Vietnamese, Samoan, and Guamanian. or the first time, an entire question asks about Hispanic heritage including Mexican, Mexian-

American, Chicano, Cuban, and Puerto Rican.

An "alien" is "not a citizen" in the citizenship category. On housing, "boat, tent, van . . ."arc new alternative answers for the question on where people

live, and "electric heat pump" - now increasingly used as a heater and air conditioner is an addition to the question of forms of home heating.

Reflecting the energy crisis, the census questionnaire this year asks to how long it taliisl to get home from work, and whether we travel, among other ways, by truck, van, motorcycle or bicycle.

In the 1980 survey of how many of us live in the United States, the Bureau of Census enumerators expect to miss some, but fewer, they hope, than the 2.5 percent they believe they over- looked 10 years ago.

In the first census in 1790, those the census taker missed were supposed to count themselves and add their names to n list posted ill a public place. One overlooked citizen who had to add his name in Philadelphia was the man who ran that census, Secretatv of State "I humus Jefferson.

Report address Aliens must register with U.S. Immigration

WASHINGTON, (MCNews) - - Marines and their dependents who are not U.S. citizens are reminded that the Immigration and Naturalization Service requires all aliens in the U.S. to report their address to the Immigration and Naturalization Service during January.

Forms to report addresses are avail- able from any U.S. Post Office. The U.S.

Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Washington, D.C. 20536, will mail the forms upon request.

Aliens temporarily out of the country have 10 days after their return to submit a registration form. The Immigration and Naturalization Act imposes serious penalties for failure to register.

Discount fares continued for military personnel

WASHINGTON, (MCNews) - The Defense Department has completed negotiations will, commercial airlines to extend discount air fares for military personnel.

The furlough, or leave fare rate, which is a one-fourth reduction to the standard cost of a reserved coach seat, was due to expire last month. All major U.S. carriers, however, have agreed to maintain the reduced fare rate at least through September 1980, and some will offer them indefinitely.

To buy a discount ticket, service members are required to present a valid, active duty, Armed Forces green identification card when purchasing their tickets. Passengers traveling within seven days of separation from active duty must use their separation orders as identification for proof of eligibility.

The discount fare rate extension was announced in a letter to all service headquarters by Army Major General John D. Bruen, commanding general of the Military Traffic Management Command in Washington, D.C. In that that letter he said, "In our negotiations with the airline industry, we stressed how important the furlough fare is to recruiting and retention. Since two= thirds of all military members are in lower pay grades, we believe the financial benefit is signi- ficant."

Citizen of the week

Cox named Nov. 14 Staff Sergeant Alan Cox was named

"Citizen of the Week" by Maureen' McDonough, the honorary mayor of Kailua Wednesday, Nov. 14. Cox spends much of his off-duty as well as on-duty time, working to develop better relations between the military and civilian coin °tunnies.

As community relations chief at Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, SSgt. Cox answers a continuous flow of community affairs correspondence pertaining to the station and its tenants. He also organizes and hosts numerous air station tours and special events' such as the Hawaii State Championship Canoe Races and the American Surfing Association's All- American Surfing Championship.

Since formally entering the public affairs field in 1974, Cox has served as both vice-pre- sident and president of local chapters of the Marine Corps Combat Correspondents Assockibion.

Equally as active and community-minded during his off-duty hours, Cox has an active history of involvement with the Parent- Teacher-Student Association, Boy Scouts of America, and in fund-raising campaigns such as the muscular dystrophy drive.

Cox works closely with good 'friend Uncle Sol Kalama organizing local youth sportsand most recently served as a race official for the Aloha Week Molokai-to-Oahu canoe race. He is also an active member of the newly - o d Windward Community/ Military

Bela ions Council and attends meetings of the Kathie Neighborhood Board.

In Cox's own words, "I can think of no concern quite as important or as fulfilling as my current military and civilian community relations work. Since moving to Hawaii. I

have developed several of my dearest friend- ships and I am more than pleased to say I will be staying here at least two more years. Frankly, I know of no Other place I would rather be."

Students graduate Story by SSgI. J.L. Kaufmann

Camp SmithCorrespondent Twenty Marines graduated from Camp

H.M. Smith's newly opened Noncommis- sioned Officer's School at the Camp Smith Training Facility, Puuloa Rifle Range last month.

The NCO School, conceived by Colonel J.G. McCormick, commanding officer, Head- quarters and Service Battalion, Camp N.M. Smith was coordinated through the S-3 Officer, Captain F. Taglieri.

Chief Warrant Officer-4 Charles Julian, officer-in-charge of the school, gave complete credit for the outstanding success of the program to its chief instructor. Gunnery Ser- geant Stan Mattos and his staff of two, Staff Sergeants Ronald King and John Jones. "The instructors were highly qualified and the pro- fessional manner they displayed during the school was an inspiration to the students," said CWO-4 Julian.

The course stressed leadership throughout its two weeks and some of the subjects covered during the six-day work week consisted of techniques of Military instruction, leadership principles, Uniform Code of Military Justice. drill and physical fitness.

When asked about the objective of the

school, GySgt. Mattos replied, "What we want to do is to provide Marines with the knowledge, confidence, and sense of personal pride necessary for them io properly discharge the duties and responsibilities of a noncom- missioned officer."

The students, primarily technicians rather than "grunts," were enthusiastic about the school. Corporal R.D. Wood, a transfer from Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe Bay and now working at the Camp Smith Disbursing section, had only praise for the program. "The school really put a sense of pride and respon- sibility in me," he said. "I'm now aware of the importance of the Marine NCO and the responsibilities that go along with the rank," he concluded.

Sergeant G.W. Ferperman. Force Photo. concurred with Wood but added, "I think the school should have been longer. The subjects covered sMNe fine but the hours too long. 1

think rather than a six-day week with 12- hours days, it would have been better to shorten the days and eliminate Saturdays so that the students would have more time to learn the subjects."

The school will be conducting classes once a .quarter with the objective of training all corporals and sergeants.

Dental care expensive bite to chew on Story by Major Rick Stepien

Camp H.M. Smith

As I opened the envelope 1 experienced a noticeable increase in my heart beat. Slowly I pulled out the contents. unfolded them and focused quickly on what nowadays is com- monly referred to as the "bottom line."There it was: $142. For what? Two visits to the dentist for one of my kids. Ouch!

This agonizing moment is reluctantly shared by every parent in America. With the dollar shrinking from devalua- tion and becoming transparent from the way it's been stretched, maintaining a balanced budget has become increas- ingly more difficult, if not down right impossible. And the one thing that can break the back ofa budget is an unexpected bill, especially one in three figures.

Good health is a prime concern to all of us and dental care is. a great portion of this concern. In the armed forces, unfortunately, full dependent dental care is virtually nonexistent.

The only bases which offer full dependent dental care are those classified as being in "isolated" areas. Isolationism in these cases refers to areas where there are insufficient civilian dentists to care for the needs of military dependents. Most overseas bases are categorized in this manner, but very few in the states qualify.

Most military dental clinics not offering full dependent dental care will, however, accommodate dependents for "emergency relief of pain" which includes excessive bleeding and other actual emergency situations.

Routine exams Additionally, most clinics will provide routine exa-

minations, cleaning and flouride treatment for children. And some will go as far as taking X-rays required for dental work providing the X-rays are requested, in writing, by the civilian dentist who will he performing the services.

Unless you are lucky enough to be stationed where full dependent dental care is routinely provided, the services listed above are about all you can expect from a military dental clinic.

So, if your spouse or children require dental work you must rely on a civilian dentist. And as we all know, when he says

"open wide," it refers to the patient's wallet as much as it does

his mouth.

Dental costs, like all others, are rising out of sight. But the tragic aspect of this for those in the military is not so much the actual cost but the fact that there are very few places where help is available to help offset these costs.

Most civilians have the opportunity, through their employ- ers, to obtain group dental insurance. These insurance plans vary, but on the average, the premiums paid usually cover 100 per cent of annual costs for examinations, cleaning and polishing, X-rays and flouride treatments; and, up to 70-80 per cent of standard dental services including extractions, fill- ings, crowns, root canal treatment, oral surgery, bridges. dentures, etc. Usually there is a ceiling on the annual benefits one can receive under the program and, depending on its provisions, orthodontic services (braces) may or may not be covered.

Military fa flies pay

The fed al government does not provide dental insurance plans for members of the armed forces, nor will CHA M PUS cover dental costs except under the most extreme conditions. As a result, military families hear the full brunt of dependent dental costs which sometimes oan hurt more than the work itself.

Dental costs average about $35.00 for a routine, one- surface, amalgam restoration (filling) on a cavity of a per- manent tooth, to as high as $3,000 for a full set of braces. And while the options available to help reduce these costs are few, there are some that merit investigation.

If you have an insurance policy with a civilian company, it may be wise to start there. Don't he surprised though if the dental insurance plan offered comes only in conjunction with a "medical" insurance plan (for which military members have little need), or that individual or family plans, if they exist, are terribly expensive.

Another source might be through a non-profit state dental service organization. Usually under the auspices ofa national association, these state organizations are found throughout the country and ;ire designed to ensure dental care is available at reasonable costs. However, most of the organizations offer only group plans through the employee benefits program at the applicant's place of work. Unless the federal government organized a plan such as this at the national level for all mem- bers of the armed forces, these sthte dental service plans and other group plans are not available for active duty personnel.

As stated previously, the options are few and often have weighty restrictions. But don't be disheartened just yet. There is one more direction you can 'go and it, by far, is the most promising.

Some insurance companies have opted to organize, as "separate entities," special dental insurance programs that offer individual, couples and family plans. Your personal insurance company might not have one but there are others who do.

While these programs might not offer as substantial a

savings as a group plan, the fact that they are available to indi- viduals and do save money on dental costs are the important points. Additionally, many dentists have organized profes- sional groups and offer much the same reduced cost services as these insurance company plans.

These dental care plans of both insurance companies and professional dentist groups have reasonable annual rates. With minor provisions, the cost of exams, X-rays, cleaning and flouride treatments are included in the annual enrollment fee. The savings realized through these plans amount to as much as 30 per cent or more on standard dental services and up to 60 per cent or more on full orthodontic care. As with any contractual agreement, you should check it out thoroughly before signing anything.

Proper dental hygiene best

Of course, nothing will beat proper dental hygiene in keeping dental costs down. But cavities are as much part of our lifestyle as are those things that cause them. And believe it when they say that dentists arc not too concerned about their own unemployment.

So if you're in the military, have a family and are interested in saving a little money on dependent dental care, a few phone calls just might help you find a program that can assist. These programs are available but, in most cases, you have to do some searching to find the one suitable for your needs.

Regulations prohibit non-commercial enterprise military newspapers from any form of advertising. Therefore, information about some of the programs available cannot he printed. But this is a matter about which many military families are not aware, so if you need some basic information or a starting point on your search for a dependent dental care program, call me at 477 -6824/5052/5053.

SPIE- Rigging gets Marines up in air

Story by LCpL, Christy Tonegatto

Ten Marines on a reconnaissance mission into a dense jungle area find themselves surrounded

by the enemy. 'there is no clearing large enough fora helicopter to set down in for miles. The situa-

tion looks hopeless. Suddenly the whirring sound of a.heficopter's engine can be heard and a weighted rope drops

through the jungle canopy. The desperate Leatherneeks realize that help has arrived. Scrambling

as fast as possible to their proper positions, the Marines hook themselves to the rings woven into the special rope and are airlifted out to safety.

This is just one of the many combat maneuvers in which reconnaissance units would be required to utihze Special Patrol Insertion and Extraction (SPIE)-Rigging. SPIE-Rigging is a field expedient means of inserting and removing troops in a dense jungle or forest.

In order to maintain their high level of continual combat readiness, twenty-two members 01

Company A, 3rd Recon, Third Marines, were offered the opportunity to come face to face-with

this challenging drill Thursday November 8.

Prior to the actual training exercise, the Marines underwent a thorough classroom instruction, conducted by Second Lieutenant Rex- Westmeyer, executive off er of the recon unit, and

Sergeant Roger Pollard, second platoon commander. The instruction emphasized safety and

included a short history of SPIE-Rigging and a familiarization brief on the special equipment it

requires. The former way of SPIE-Rigging, which was the buddy systeni -one person per one ring- was

not used. Instead, for safety reasons, it was -one person per two rings -one ring for the normal

harness and one ring for the safety line.

Five at a time, the highly trained Leatherneck s put their classroom learning to practical applica- tion as they 'suited up' into their harnesses, life vest and sling ropes, which were used for safety

lines. Next, they swiftly hooked up to the SPIE system. as it dangled from the rescue hatch, more

commonly known as the "hell hole," of the Search and Rescue (SAR) helicopter: an H H-46A. The

pilots had to handle the difficult operation of lifting and setting down the Marines very gently. As

soon as the 'thumbs up' signal was given indicating everyone was attached to the line, the heli-

copter slowly moved up and slightly to the right until all five Marines were airborne. This writer took part in the training and felt she was able to "fly like a bird" with a spectacular

view of either the lush Hawaiian mountains or the (turquoise blue ocean in front of her while the

SAR helicopter circled the Mokapu Peninsula at a height of 1,500feet and a speed up to 80 knots. As the wind whipped by and they were lifted into the sky, the sensation of being able to fly like

Superman overcame her. With a slight movement of a hand and leg, she could turn right, left or all the way around.

The tricky part came into play when the helicopter began to descend. Everyone had to move a rou nd'unt il they were all on the same side of the SPIE system,'When the first person touched the ground he immediately had to start walking forward or else everyone would have ended up on top of him in a big tangle.

The complete process from the start to finish was successfully repeated six times. This gave Photo by Le,' Stu. Knott o

Amphibious assault tractors `hit the beach' for Marines

Story by I.Cpl. Christy Tonegatto

What are the large rectangular vehicles that can be seen making their way through the water and crawling over the land when the Marines "hit the beach"?

If you answered the question correctly, your response should have an amphibious assault tractor.

An amphibious assault tractor is a vehicle that is capable of serving as the vital link between water and land as it conducts ship to shore operations.

The personnel responsible for operating and maintaining the tractors assigned to the 1st Marine Brigade are 189 members of Company 0, 3d Assault Amphibian Battalion, 3d Marines (REIN), They care for and take pride in the 47 amphibious vehicles under their control.

The company al .o has a platoon on deployment with the 31st Marine Amphibious Unit in the Western Pacific. Forty-nine Marines arc in charge of the 17 tractors the MAU utilizes.

On the "tractor park" or )boat basin", as the large concrete ramp on which the tractors arc stor d is sometimes called, the men repair any problems in the engine or body and take care of the general upkeep of the vehicle.

Amphibious vehicles can be classified into three different categories: LVTP-7's (Landing Vehicle, Tracked, Personnel), which are designed to accommodate 25 combat Marines in its cargo area; LTVC-7's (Landing Vehicle, Tracked, Command), that has the capabilities to provide command communications for a battalion landing team; and, LVTR-7's (Landing Vehicle, Tracked, Retriever), which are used for

maintenance and recovery work in the field. Company I) has 43 LVTP-7's, three LVTC-7's and one LVTR-7.

Each month, a "Tractor of the Month" is chosen, and each of the three platoons enters into the competition the tractor they feel has the beSt preventive maintenance record and is the best looking. Its crew must be squared away and prepared to answer any question pertaining to their work. A program like this sets a goal for each crew to work toward during the month.

Every tractor is manned by three Marines, They are the crew chief, driver and assistant driver. Sergeant Allan Tobian, a platoon sergeant, explained. "Safety is our main concern around here because we are working with heavy equipment. When we are moving a tractor on the ramp there is al-,ays a man in front and a man in back acting as ground guides for the driver. Caution can help stop accidents."

According to Gunnery Sergeant John Toban, the tractors can move at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour on the ground and 8 knots per hour in the water.

When you ride in the vehicle over bumpy ground and choppy seas it's comparable to being on an amusement park roller coaster ride. Over hills, throUgh ditches, between high waves, nothing seems to stump the tractor. The only problem is when you are traveling in the passenger space you can't see where it is going, all you feel is the motion!

But without them how would troops be transported between the ships and the shore?

The final statement that can be made about these versatile vechicles was summarized by Corporal Ron Ritter, a crew chief. He declared, "We are what the Marine Corps is all about -- the assault wave -- the amphibious wave upon the beaches."

`CREE Archer' hits Pohakuloci One of the largest field exercises designed to test the

combat readiness of the 3d Battalion, 3d Marines, 1st Battalion, 12th Marines aid other regimental units involved with the 1st Marine Brigade, of Marine Corps Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, was held at Parker Ranch in the Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island last week.

Operation "CREE Archer," began November 12 and continued for the next three.days. The mission of 3/3 was to clear all hostages from Parker Ranch in a simulated evacuation manuever and to gain complete control of the ranch.

The 2d Battalion, 3d Marines had taken the role of the aggressors in this exercise and were ready to de id Parker Ranch. The Marines of 3/3 were given heavy air lift support by Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron-I65, of Marine Aircraft Group-24, which was also being evaluated for their combat readiness in the field.

Helicopters lifted the Marines of 3/3 to the Parker Ranch area using a UH-IN Huey Helicopter. three

CH-53 and eight CH-46 helicopters from Upolu Point where all air operations fur the exercise began. They flew over the area in combat formations, unloaded the Marines at the designated area and returned to Upolu Point for more Marines. After the helo lifts were complete the squadron patrolled the area and some acted as medical evacuation helicopters in the event of an emergency.

The battalion completed its mission on November 15.

Corporal Barry Wilson, of India Company 3/3 commented about the units efforts in the combat readiness evaluation exercise, "The battalion as a

whole, I feel, learned a lot about the areas we must work on a little more, as a Ilattalion, and also as

individual noncommissioned officers and above." Wilson felt the exercise was a success and is confident about going afloat with the 3d Battalion, 3d Marines as they will now begin preparation for another Western Pacific deployment.

The ship was named after an Army artillery officerof ihe 25th Truck Battalion in Korea in 1950, who formed a counter-tactical unit during battle at the Chosin Reservoir. He fought his way to where the fighting was heaviest and single handedly engaged the enemy. inflicting heavy casual- ties and disordering their force. He was mortally wounded in the battle. For his conspicuous courage above and beyond the call of duty, LtCol. Page was awarded the medal of Honor posthumously.

The Page arrived at Pearl Harbor on October 29, her new home port, after departing Fort Eustis, Va. three months earlier.

She is the Army's largest vessel designed to beach self-mobile cargo and join up to roll-on/ roll-off cargo ships at anchor for cargo transfer. She served in Viet-

nam from 1965 to 1973, traveled 111,273 miles. carried 5.287 passengers and moved 327,807 tons of cargo to 836 ports of call.

The vessel's crew is a platoon of the 5th Transport Company (Heavy Boat), Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, consisting of eight army warrant officers including the Vessel Master Chief Warrant Officer-3 John Williams, along with 45 other various ranking crew members who operate and maintain the vessel. The detachment aboard the page was recently tasked with assisting the 1st Marine Brigade of Marine Corps Air Station.

OF THE ICING - At the regimental birthday ceremony held at the Pohakuloa Training Area, after colors were marched onto the field and hand salutes were rendered by all Marines present, the Marine Birthday cake baked by Lance Corporal Paul Howell and Sergeant

Chades Pegg, was then marched onto the field and blessed by the regi-

mental chaplain as a part of the traditional ceremony.

204th b'day held in the field

Though the anniversary of the actual birthdate for the Marine Corps is almost two weeks behind us, this is nonetheless the start of the

Marines' 205th year of existence. Two weeks ago, the 3d Marines, 1st Marine Brigade, celebrated the

Marine Corps Birthday the way it probably would have been done in

1775. The Marines were in the midst of one of the Brigade's largest

combat readiness exercises ever held on the island of Hawaii's Poha-

kuloa Training Area. Tradition once again found its place in the Marine Corps as Colonel

Robert Loehe, commanding officer of the 3d Marines, talked with his

Leathernecks during the birthday ceremony held in the field at PTA. He told them, "It's particularly special that, in the field, we are cele-

brating our1204th birthday," and he asked the Marines to look around and think back.

After Col. Loehe spoke with the members of his command, the

youngest Marine, Private First Class Barton Hobart, of 1st Battalion. 12th Marines, 1st Marine Brigade and Master Sergeant Willard MacMiller, of the 3d Marines' S-2 m Intelligence Section, the oldest Marine at the ceremony, ate the first slice of the Marine Corps Birth- day cake, to conclude another year of our tradition in a more unique way of remembrance,

Toys collected for tots via Fun Run

The Third Annual "Toys for Tots Fun Run" held at Kapiolani Park Sunday drew 187 participants along a 15 kilometer (9.3 mile) course. The purpose of the run, spon- sored by Hawaii's 4th Force Reconnaissance Company, was to collect toys for the needy keikis of Oahu. .

The runners left the starting line at 7:30 a.m. and the first finisher crossed the line in less

than an hour. Because the run was only for fun and the benefit of the keikis,. there were no individual times kept.

According to reservist Sergeant Major Terry Wade, "About 95 per cent of the participants were military and the majority of those were Marines."

He also added his thanks to those who participated in the event and stated that those participants who did not receive their certi- ficates at the finish of the run will receive them in the mail.

The fun run is only one event in the overall "Toys for lots" drive, so if you did not run, you can still give a toy for a tot.

Marines edge Tripler in Hangar 103 match

The Hawaii Marine Varsity Basketball team put one more win under its belt Novem- ber 15 when it defeated Triplet: Army Medical Center 112-109 at Hangar 103.

The Marines are having a winning season this year with 8 wins and one loss. In the game against Triplet, the Marines came back from a

two point deficit at the end of the first half to win the game by three points in the closing seconds.

A close game throughout, the Marines were led to victory by the shooting efforts of Norris Chappell. Chappell scored 14 field goals and

eight free throws for a total of 36 points. Help- ing out at the hoop were Staff Sergeant Andrew Peters and. Corporal Mark Jackson with 19 points each. They both scored eight field goals and three free throws.

Triplet's high scorer, put 42 points on the board and was the Army's main threat. Over- coming this threat with teamwork, the Marines kept nose to nose with the Army.

The' ame could have easily gone either way but the Marines had to keep up their winning record and edged past the Army 112-109 for the victory.

Jumping rope Child's game can lead to healthier body

Nonsense rhymes of childhood have been replaced by wheezing gasps of exertion as

adult Americans work to bring down their weight and build up their stamina by skipping rope.

Until the current physical fitness campaign in the military and throughout the Nation, virtually the only adults with jump ropes were prizefighters, for whom the exercise is as

traditional as a cauliflower ear. Trainers long have known that jumping rope regularly can increase a, boxer's endurance. And more recently, basketball stars, tennis players, and other athletes have been taking up the activity to keep in condition. Something for Everyone

Now it seems as though everyone, from actresses and airline pilots to welders and truck drivers, is hopping inside a whirling loop as jump ropes move from gyms to hack yards and basements - wherever there's enough room to avoid snagging the furniture..

The 7th Annual Honolulu Marathon will be run Sunday, December 9. The course begins at Aloha Tower and starting time is 6 a.m. A II finishers will receive a certificate and a T- shirt. The deadline for entry has passed, but it is an exciting event even if you're only watching.t

The HM11-463 Skeet Masters have levied a challenge to the H &HS Special Services Skeet tears. The challenge was accepted and the shoot off will take place at the Skeet Range on December I.

The Hawaii Marine Varsity Basketball team will have two home games this week in Hangar 103. The first, on Tuesday, will be against Fort Shatter at 7:30 p.m. The second game will be played Thursday at 7:311 pin. against the Marine Barracks team.

Fans insist that a 10- minute workout with a

rope is equal to half an hour of jogging. And, says one: "You don't have to go out in the rain and dodge traffic." Benefits, but .. .

The benefits of jumping rope are being discussed .everywhere, from cottee klatsches to T.V. talk shows. The exercise is touted as a

way to improve coordination, burn off some excess calories, replace fat with muscle, and strengthen the cardiovascular system.

But it can cause aching shins, sore joints, and backaches, too - unless the jumper wears soft-soled shoes, bends the knees, and jumps just high enough to clear the rope. Doctors also warn it can put undue stress on the heart if over-done. Before seriously under-taking such a fad exercise that could be harmful, would-be jumpers are cautioned to seek

medical advice on this or any other intensive exercise plan.

With Intramural Flag Football winding down the second half, the standings are as follows: TEAM W L MACS-2 12 2 MAG-24 11 4 1st Rad. Bn 10 5 AssitAphBn. 10 5 CSC 9 7 II&HS 10 9 BSSG Maint. 8 8 3/3 Comm. ,2 10 SOUS 2 14 1/12 0 12

Nomadic tribes find a home in Hawaii By Major Rick Stepien

In Part I we saw how roe ancestors of the

ancient Hawaiians migrated from Eurasia to Indonesia. From this point, they moved east

using either the route through' Micronesia or the more southerly Melanesian route. Eventually they settled the islands of Samoa

and Tonga on the western extremity of the

Polynesian Triangle, Search for Paradise

Religions of that era prophesied of an

ancestral, paradisaic homeland called "Hawaiki." Each time anew island was dis-

covered, it was thought to be this land of unending peace and happiness.

Accordingly, the discoverers would give the island or island group a revered name, each of which bears striking resemblance to the word "Hawaiki." In Samoa it was called "Savair in Tonga, "Hasvai;" in Rarotonga, "Avaiki;" and in Tahiti (Society Islands) it was called

"Havail." The Polynesians were craftsmen in canoe

building and expert navigators. These skills, coupled with the more pressing problem of seeking new land for their expanding popula- tion, kept the adventuresome spirit alive and they began exploring the southern portion of the Polynesian Triangle. The Marquesas Islands

Among the island groups discovered by these ancient seafarers was that called "The World of Light." Later renamed the Mar- quesas by the Spaniards, the topography of these islands was extremely rugged and fissured by deep valleys which became home for independent tribes of a different breed of Polynesian people.

The Marquesans were one of the most aggressive races in all of Polynesia. Tatooed from head to foot, with whale teeth discs suspended from their grossly extended ear- lobes, the warriors shaved the sides of their heads and braided the remaining hair on top to resemble horns.

The Marquesans looked demonic and lived up to their appearance. A "Big Mac Attack" too Marquesan resulted in him actually eating Mac, or Tom, or Harry, or Kimo -- they were cannibals par excellence!

The great discovery By 400 A.D., most of the island groups in

southern Polynesia were inhabited. The quest for new land was oriented northward and the

Marquesans were first to sail into these unknown waters,

The voyage for one group of Marquesans must have been particularly frightening.

Having sailed mare than 2,000 miles with- out so much as a glimpse of land, the Marquesans forged ahead day after day. The spirit of these adventurers remained, however, undaunted. Seeing the southerly flight of the Golden Plover, which migrated annually from the hinterlands of Alaska and Siberia to the tropics, the Marquesans knew that the summer home of these birds could not be far.

One morning they awoke onboard their canoes to a most welcomed sight -- land. lubilant, but very cautious, they approached the shores of the Big Island of Hawaii fearing they would have to fight the resident tribes already living there. To their amazement, they found the island deserted. It was an island bigger than anything they ever imagined existed, and now they owned it.

This new land abounded in plantlife and birds, and so abundant were the waters with marina fe, it seemed they-could not be con- tained therein,

The collection of plants and animals' that the Marquesans had brought with them flourished in the ideal climate and conditions of their new home. The Marquesans abandoned their warlike attitude and became a peace-loving people who now lived in hap- piness and harmony with nature and each other.

As they explored the island chain, they gave- descriptive names to everything, e.g., Kaho'olawe meaning "the red dust blowing;" Mauna Kea meaning "white mountain;" and, Kealaikahiki to the channel between Maui and Kaho'olawe which means "the way to Tahiti." It was from this channel that the Marquesans took their bearings before voyaging back to southern Polynesia to tell of their exploits.

All the major islands of the Hawaiian chain were well populated by 800 A.D. It was about this time that voyages between Hawaii and the southern islands ceased and generations of Marquesans enjoyed a quiet, peaceful existence in Hawaii for about the next 350 years. The second migration

In the mid-I Ith century, a new wave of visitors from the south arrived in Hawaii, led

by the aggressive chiefs from the Society Islands, particularly Tahiti. They eventually conquered the early settlers which may have given rise to the famed legend of the Mene - hunes.

The Menehunes were said to be dwarf-like people who lived in caves and could accomplish remarkable building feats in incredibly short periods of time. Coming out only at night, they built temples, irrigation ditches and giant fishponds, but abandoned the job if disturbed.

After the Tahitians defeated the early settlers, the latter were relegated to common- ers, Interestingly, the Tahitian equivalent to the word "menehune" means commoner.

One legend states that the subjected people were pushed north to Kauai where, fearing for their lives, they lived in caves. Is' it possible that over generations these commoners became smaller in stature as food and living conditions worsened? Customs established

The second migration to Hawaii continued until the 13th century. In Tahiti, the northern islands were called "Ilawaila," a throwback to the fabled ancestral homeland the people constantly sought. Just before the second migration ended, a priest named,Paao arrived from Tahiti:

Appalled to see that the royal blood of the chiefs had become "tainted" through inter- marriage with peasants, Paao left Hawai'ia only to return with new royal blood, and com- pletely revised the political, religious and social customs of the land. Once the structure of the islands was formed, patterned much along the lines of Tahiti, the new islands faded into oblivion until the arrival of Captain James Cook in 1778.

Next time we'll look at the structure of society in ancient Hawaii. "A hui hour

----Intelligence Brief MIG-21 (NATO name: Fishbed) - Built shortly after the

Korean War, the MIG-21 has, in the past two decades, become the most widely used combat aircraft in the world. About 10,000 have been built, in over 20 variants, and many are still in service in the air forces of Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, China, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, East Ger- many, Egypt, Finland, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iraq, North Korea, Poland, Romania, Russia, Somalia, South Yemen, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam, and Yugoslavia. A few of these countries (Czechoslovakia, China and India) have manufactured indigenous models based on the exports they received from the Soviets.

Small, lightweight and lightly armed, the MIG-21 was initially built as a day fighter with limited range. However, numerous modifications to the Fishbed have given it a multi- purpose combat role. Within the Soviet Union, the MIG -21 is

assigned to frontal aviation as an air superiority interceptor, but also has the secondary roles of ground interdiction and close air support, As an Interdeptor, the Fishbedcan carry four air-to-air missiles and a 23mm cannon. When performing a ground support mission, it is capable of delivering a payloadof more than 2,000 lbs, of bombs or four 240mm rockets.

Although the MIG-21 has undergone numerous improvements alma It first entermiservice twenty years ago, it is fast becoming ubsolete in today's high technology aerial battlefield. This tto recently bean demonstrated by the success of lemon Y. IS whoa in shooting down nine Syrian MIG-21it In dogfights over Lebanon. However, the sheer numbers built, and the deployment of this aircraft around the world, would suggest that the MIG-21 will still be with us well into the 1980s, For Information about Intelligence Brief, call the Combat Intelligence Center at 257-3190.
