Edwin J. Omark, dean of the
seminary and Miss Edith Larson,
office manager at Bethel, will be
recognized with a presentation
from the board of education at the
commencement service on Sunday.
Both are retiring after many years
of service at Bethel.
Dean Omark, also professor of
practical theology, began his min-istry
in the seminary in 1944, be-coming
dean of the seminary in
1948. Upon his retirement from
Bethel he will continue to be ac-tive

Student senate amended the pro-posed
honor system last Thursday
evening. The student body will vote
on the honor system as amended
tomorrow and Friday in the stu-dent
lounge from 10:35 a.m. to 4
After discussion between sena-tors
and the few non-senators who
attended the meeting, the senate
voted to make major changes "to
bring more of the spirit of honor
to the system."
One change is a safeguard
against institution of new re-strictions
by the administration.
It states that the standards to be
enforced by the honor board are
those set up by the administra-tion
in the "current catalogue."
The original proposal made any
"special standards set up by the
administration" enforceable by
the board.
Another change does away with
the 24 and 48 hour limits for re-porting
a violation and it sets up
professor of history and political
science and department chair-man.
In 1954 Carlson assumed his pre-sent
position, where he represents
seven Baptist groups. He has been
quoted recently in Christian Cen-tury
on his stand concerning the
Becker amendment and it is ex-pected
that his address will in-clude
comments on this current
issue before Congress.
Introduced by master of cere-monies
Walfred Peterson, the pro-gram
will include: Paul Goodman
with a monologue on the "Cookie
Story," and a "College Bowl" con-test
between a team of this year's
graduates and a team composed of
alumni of other years.
The contest, which is in keep-ing
with this year's theme "The
Informed Alumnus," will be
moderated by Gerald Healy and
is designed to "test the caliber
of Bethel's grads."
Classes being honored this year
are: class of '14, class of '39 and
class of '61. Also, the class of '64
safeguards to protect the violator
from being "needlessly brought be-fore
the honor board," stated Bob
Beckstrom, one of the proposers of
the amendment.
Under the new honor system a
violator is expected to report his
own violation to the authority im-mediately
above him whether it
be a faculty member, dormitory
council, student senate or honor
board. If the violator does not re-port
himself to one of these bod-ies,
he should seek assistance from
the dean of students.
Anyone observing a violation
is expected to first approach the
violator calling attention to his
violation and make recommenda-tions
for correction. He is also
expected to go to the dean of
students for counsel after talk-ing
with the violator. Then he
has the option to report the vio-lation
to the proper authorities.
The dean of students is a "neu-tral"
person whose sole responsi-will
be officially welcomed into the
alumni association.
Although the deadline for ticket
reservation was last Friday, tickets
may still be available at the alumni
A Sunday breakfast will be
served in Bodien dining hall for
parents of 1964 college and sem-inary

ceremony in the seminary chapel

for 11 a.m. in the fieldhouse

music will be provided by the col-lege

bilities are not disciplinary but ad-visory.
His object is to restore a
violator's honor. He cannot serve
on the honor board nor can he
bring charges before it. No viola-tions
brought before the dean will
become a part of a student's per-manent
Under the amendment the honor
system will become effective for a
provisionary period of two years
following ratification by a major-ity
of student votes cast tomorrow
and Friday, by a two-thirds vote of
the faculty and by authorization of
the administration.
Discussion about these changes
centered around the need for
having the dean of students in-volved.
David Mbiti expressed
the feeling that "having the dean
in the middle is unnecessary."
Others answered saying that the
dean would protect violators
from "ruined records over little
Steve Starr and Aggrey Brown
contended that the system does not
allow enough freedom because it
makes no provision for unproc-tored
exams, more dormitory free-dom
and free use of all library
materials. Several countered this
with the idea that the honor sys-tem
could evolve to include these
freedoms "after we prove that we
can be trusted."
After the senate passed the
amendments to the honor system,
informal discussion continued
showing that many who had for-merly
opposed the honor system
now found it acceptable.

Students Need Resolve
To Live Worthy of Trust
Amendments to the honor system seem to have stilled the
fears of many who opposed it in its original form. Working
with several who had opposed it, the honor system originators
struck out some sections and added others to mold it according
to the desires of the campus.
The 24 and 48 hour reporting clause is gone, so jokes
about this legalistic rule are no longer apropo. The possibility
that students will be hauled and humiliated before the honor
board for petty offenses that may only be offenses in the eyes
of an observer is now remote with the purely counseling position
of the dean of students placed between the students and the
honor board.
Guarding against the sudden imposition of new "special
administrative standards," the honor system now states that
the standards are those stated in the current catalogue. And
to keep the system from becoming burdensome, the amendment
makes the system provisionary, requiring student approval at
the end of two years for its continuance.
Now that the system has been changed to fit the ideas of
more students, more of us will probably vote for it. But
we must understand that a vote for the honor system means
more than approval of a good system. It means that we have
looked at our lives, recognized how honorable we have or have
not been and decided that we desire to live honorable lives
worthy of the trust that the honor system places in each of us.

thinking to the real area of need,
our own personal lives.
It is a dangerous proposal, how-ever,

At 1:40 a.m., February 9, 1963,
Mrs. Hattie Carroll, a 51-year-old
negro barmaid, was struck by a
cane from the hands of William
Zantzinger. That same morning,
Mrs. Carroll died of a brain hem-orrhage,
leaving nine children.
After assaulting two other peo-ple
earlier in the evening, Zant-zinger
attacked Hattie Carroll, a
maid at a Baltimore post-debutante
ball. The New York Times reported
that "he demanded a drink from
Mrs. Carroll. She replied, 'Just a
minute, sir.' He then said, 'I don't
have to take that kind of stuff of
a nigger,' " and beat her with his
cane. .
"His blow with the cane, com-bined
with his words 'nigger'
and 'black bitch', caused an emo-tional
reaction in the 51-year-old
woman which brought on a fatal
brain hemorrhage."
William Devereaux Zantzinger, a
24-year-old prosperous tobacco far-mer
from southern Maryland, was
brought to trial on June 19, 1963.
As a person of wealth with rela-tions
in the politics of Maryland,
he was able to command the ser-vices
of five top-flight attorneys.
Zantzinger was found guilty of
a charge reduced from first degree
murder to manslaughter, which
carries with it a maximum sentence
of ten years, but as Time Magazine
reports, "For the death of Hattie
Carroll: six months in jail and a
fine of $500."

and people have wondered
about justice and foresaken chil-dren.

To All-School banquet committee
and editor:
As a new member of the sopho-more
class, it was my privilege to
attend this year, for the first time,
the "All-School banquet" held this
year at the Prom. I commend you
and your committee for the excel-lent
way in which arrangements
were handled.
There were, however, some dis-turbing
elements that I feel need
some definite considerations in the
plans for like events in the coming
years. The first was the moral
tenor of the entertainment provid-ed
by the Mel-o-Dons.
I refer not to the barber shop
style, nor to some of the pieces
sung. I enjoy, for a diversion,
this type of musical contribution.
I was greatly disappointed in the
suggestiveness of two of their
numbers—specifically the M.C.'s
reference to the method of relief
of a woman's discomforts and
also the implied reason for the
odor of lutefisk.
Others also could be mentioned.
Is this the trend in choice of en-tertainment
for student-faculty ac-tivities
or was this an oversight
on the part of the committee in
not briefing the musical group ade-quately?
I hope it has been as a
result of my second suggestion.
As I sat in semi-embarrassment
and later reflected on the events
of the evening, Paul's exhortation
to the Roman church took on new
meaning. "Don't let the world a-round
you squeeze you into its own
mould, but let God re-mould your
minds from within . . ."
The second concern that arose
in my mind, was the conspicuous
response. Any funds you might
wish to give, send to the Hattie
Carroll Memorial fund, State Bank
and Trust company, Evanston, Ill.

absence, in the recollection of
"the year that was," of any sig-nificant
impact upon the lives of
any students in the realm of the
spiritual. Is this not important?
If there has been no spiritual
impact greater than that mention-ed,
Bethel has failed God and its
constituency. What could have
been better than to have closed
the evening with a brief, positive
challenge to the students and fac-ulty
to reconsider the past, and
consider the future in the light of
God's great eternal plan for each
In the light of Bethel's Chris-tian
heritage, this does not seem
to me to be out of place. Such
considerations might also help to
fill some of the vacant spots in
our seminary student enrollment.
Lest I leave the impression that
I was dissatisfied with the entire
evening let me say in closing that
I appreciated the fellowship with
students and faculty and hope to
be present again next year. How,
ever, I also trust that the program
committee will take in serious con-sideration
the above mentioned as

Two Oppose Prom
Dear Editor:
First we would like to say that a
Bethel college banquet does NOT
belong in a dance hall. We realize
that space is a problem to be faced
but we're sure other places could
have been found.
Secondly, while the Mel-o-Dons
are fine singers and the rest of
their entertainment fits into the
surroundings of a dance hall, we
feel that a secular group such as
that creates a problem at a Bethel
For the seniors and many other
students the All-College is the last
big event that will be remembered
by these departing friends. A ban-quet
at Bethel which features a
secular group runs a risk at Bethel
of not being of the quality we de-sire
as a Christian community.
In our opinion this year's ban-quet
leaves much to be desired in
leaving a lasting, good impression
of Bethel college.
Can you imagine the thoughts of
the non-Christian world if they had
seen "Welcome Bethel" on the
marquee of the Prom center?
If the honor system had been in
vogue we could have brought the
committee before the board in vio-lation
of the standards which
Bethel stands for.
Respectfully submitted,

to find those who will take the
initiative to express their concern
for the spiritual direction of the

the Prom center was an answer to
this problem. The Prom is known
as a banquet catering service and
prefers to be called such.
Their service was very good.
The food was good and we had

The musical group was well-in-formed
about Bethel, both by let-ter

just prior to their performance.
The committee assumed that the
Mel-o-Dons' interpretation of jokes
appropriate to this type of occasion
would coincide with our Christian
concept of suitable humor. Per-haps
a few of these jokes were
more inappropriate than we had
wished, but we do not consider
them "suggestive".
This is not the trend in stu-dent-

That the 1963-64 school year is
almost over is a fact which is hard
for me to believe. Time seems to
have gone faster this year than
in the previous years, though in
actual fact, it has not.
For me Bethel has been a place
where I have been kept busy in the
best and most constructive sense
of the word. At Bethel I have ap-propriated
the sense of belonging-ness,
not because of what I have
felt I could contribute to the col-lege
family, but because of what I
could and have gained from Bethel.
Indeed this has been a reward-ing
experience in every realm of
my being. On the academic side,
Bethel, as a Christian college
provides ample room for critical,
independent and reflective think-ing
which I feel is an important
tool for Christian maturity, if
done in a constructive manner,
of course.
I have personally benefited
greatly not only from classroom
situations but also from informal
discussions, either with professors
or with fellow students. This is a
practice which is almost traditional
at Bethel and more of which I wish
to see next year.
Socially, and for the first time
in my four years of study in A-merica,
I have enjoyed mixing with
the entire college family without
any repulsive feelings either with-in
me or within the group.
Spiritually, I have obtained
blessings which are beyond mea-sure
from the many chapel
speakers we have had in the year
and especially our school presi-dent.
Oh how I wish he could do
more chapel speaking!
I do thank the Lord for Bethel
and for her contribution in the
contemporary world.
Thanks Students!
Have a good summer

Plato was right. If you let the
majority make the decisions,
chances are they'll botch things up.
Bethel's student body proves this
at virtually every on-campus con-cert.
The majority decides that the
event is not worth attending, thus
displaying their obvious inability to
make right choices for themselves,
Fie on all you cultural barbarians
who didn't attend the band concert
last Saturday night!
This year's band probably has
more competent musicians hold-ing
down first and second chairs
than any previous year at Bethel.
As a result, Friday night's per-formances
produced a minimum
of clarinet screeches, saxaphone
glissandos, trumpet blops or
trombone fuzz.
Its sound was generally brilliant
and full, with only occasional sur-face
noises and sags in pitch from
the woodwinds. Vivian Walker,
trombone and Tim Olson, bari-tone,
led the band's most orches-tral-
sounding selections.
Charles Erickson's direction help-ed
the band to achieve coherence

marches and in a con-temporary
"Concerto Grosso" by
J. J. Morrissey.
In the latter, the performance
of David Wedeking, Kermit
Grenz and Miss Walker probably
exceeded the musicianship of
the manuscript in the various
brass fanfares and interpolated
solo passages.
V. F. Safranek's "Atlantis" was
simple, optimistic and unpreten-tious.
Wedeking and Olson's long
solo lines were appropriately fluid
and relaxed. Even though the con-tinent
"Atlantis" sank into the sea
during the last movement, the
feeling remained as the composer
intended: bombastic, yet playful,
like a clumsy but happy giant
stumbling over the hills.
Peter Mennin's showpiece, "Can-zona,"
was the only genuinely con-temporary
number of the evening.
Despite a few disjunct and scat-tered
attacks, the band superceded
their practice performances in
charging through a spectacular
piece with the best interpretation

Kermit Grenz was stormed
with flattery after the concert

follow beat, resulting in a
solid and highly unified sound.

Observer Looks to Plato for Answer
To Question of Concert Attendance
by Mike Rynkiewich
Thus ends another year of sports at Bethel. There are still two
baseball games to be played, but cross country, football, basketball,
wrestling, tennis, golf and track are over for the year 1963-64.
The Pioneer conference's first year has been dominated by Bethel
teams. In the fall Royals took the conference football championship with
a 2-0 conference record and a 6-2 season record. Winter brought basket-ball
and wrestling.
A 5-1 conference record gave the hoopers the title. In wrestling,
Morris took first, Bethel second. Then came spring and a conference
championship in track. Tennis took a second place and golf a third. The
baseball team will likely take another conference championship.
The year has seen more improvement and the best results of any
year in Bethel's history. Yet, this is not a peak year in sports. The
football team loses six seniors, basketball loses two, track one and
baseball and wrestling none. This is not a great loss. This was a building
Our expanding athletic program and winning seasons are drawing
higher caliber high school athletes to Bethel. Competition for starting
positions on the teams will get tougher resulting in stronger teams.
Considering the great number of returning lettermen and the goad crop
of high school athletes which is expected, next year's seasons should
be even better!

tough 3-hitter, 2-0. Only captain
Dave Buck and Gene Brunzell got
base hits for Bethel; Buck a double
in the sixth and Brunzell a single

I'm not sure if this is a glitch or the way the Hub is intended to work, but does anyone else ever have their Hub default to viewing the previous day, unless the current day has more than 2 messages (be it BBM, email, text, etc)?
Hard to explain, but essentially, it looks like two messages must be from that current day in order for the Hub to automatically show the current day when you either peek or fully visit it.
Curious to know if this bothers anyone else or if it's just me.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in North Conway, thanks in great part to SRCA. It was definitely handy to accessing attractions and routine shopping (as well as adventure shopping!). But once inside the campground, one has little clue that commerce and traffic are so close. It is quiet, green and pretty. Loved the huge trees and the river and the bird sanctuary being next door. The camp sites are commodious to say the least. We had fun and enjoyed watching families of all kinds doing likewise. Your staff was great. You guys do a great job!

My husband and I just stayed here for a weekend and we were very pleased with our site and our surroundings. They had a scout gathering in tents behind us and not a sound after quiet time started. Very impressed and will Definitely stay again.
Saco River Camping Area is a very nice campground. This is our 11th year camping here. The sites are always clean and easy to get into. The owners and staff very friendly and helpful. We enjoy the quiet nights sitting around the camp fire. Kayaking on the Saco river is always a good time. And, if you like shopping, North Conway is the place to be. You could shop for a week and not hit every store in the area. Thank you, SRCA for a great vacation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Indoor tanning beds would carry new warnings about the risk of cancer and be subject to more stringent federal oversight, under a proposal unveiled Monday by the Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA wants all tanning beds to carry language warning people under the age of 18 about the risks of indoor tanning. The agency would also require manufacturers to meet certain safety and performance requirements before marketing their devices.
The government action is aimed at curbing cases of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, which have been on the rise for about 30 years. This year an estimated 76,690 people will be diagnosed with the disease, according to the American Cancer Society.
Recent studies have shown that the risk of melanoma is 75 percent higher in people who have been exposed to ultraviolet radiation from indoor tanning. While most cases are diagnosed in people in their 40s and 50s, the disease is linked to sun exposure at a young age.
Medical groups like the American Academy of Dermatology have been urging the U.S. government to take action on tanning beds for years, citing increases in the number of cases of skin cancer among women in their teens and twenties. Dermatologists say indoor tanning advertisements directly appeal to teenagers' desire to be attractive.
Currently the machines are classified as low-risk devices, in the same group as bandages and tongue depressors. By increasing their classification to moderate-risk, or class II, devices the FDA proposal could limit the levels of radiation the devices emit and make other changes to their design.
"The FDA's proposed changes will help address some of the risks associated with sunlamp products and provide consumers with clear and consistent information," FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said in a statement.
The agency said it will take comments on its proposal for 90 days.

Massive Cosplay Titan Sword
Speak softly
- Have the biggest sword on the block
- ...and be able to carry it, too!
- Designed for cosplay, Halloween, scaring solicitors
We like the idea that one should speak softly and carry a big stick. The problem is that some of us aspire to be more than a druid or a wizard. Some of us want to be fighters or paladins! Why bonk an orc on the head with a stick when you can slice his ugly mug clean off his shoulders? HEADS WILL ROLL because that's how you roll. Go big and bad or go home, right?
The Foam Titan Sword is over five feet of big bad sword with a whopping 45-inch blade. We designed it to be an awesome costume accessory and the type of thing you can use to chase solicitors off your property. It will arrive in two pieces in a carrying case with a handle. We did this so it would be easy to pack for a convention or anywhere else you want to be respected and feared. Connect the two pieces, click the switch to turn on the blue LEDs, and you're ready to make a statement on the convention floor, out trick-or-treating, or just chasing away that guy trying to sell you stuff you don't want.
Product Specifications
- Have the biggest sword on the block
- ...and be able to carry it, too!
- Blue LED lights on the blade and pommel
- Materials: EVA foam
- Batteries: 2 AA (not included)
- Package: Box with carry handle, perfect for carrying to a convention! Sword splits into two pieces for easy packing and transport. This product comes in a ship-alone box.
- Dimensions:
- Total length: 60.5"
- Blade length: 45"
- Handle length: 15.5"
- Hilt width: 10"
Note: The Foam Titan Sword is designed as a costume accessory. While you can certainly swing it about willy-nilly, it does not have the inner core of a boffer sword and will break if you try to cleave an enemy in twain with it. Just FYI.

In the 1960s and �70s, a small Curb Market, located on George Street operated out of a vacant City owned building. Throughout the years, its image deteriorated as sales stagnated and the customer base dwindled.
Part of a continuing series that appears every other week.
In the 1960s and �70s, a small Curb Market, located on George Street operated out of a vacant City owned building. Throughout the years, its image deteriorated as sales stagnated and the customer base dwindled. With the new focus on the revitalization of the downtown, Gary Bleau, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Agri-Business Committee conceived the idea of developing a Farmers Market in the downtown area to provide economic opportunities for farmers and local entrepreneurs. An active, progressive Farmers Market would link the rural and urban population and generate traffic to the downtown.
At the Nov. 21, 1979, Swiss Bear Board of Director�s meeting, to garner and expand support for this idea, he presented preliminary plans to build a new farmers market, preferably on urban renewal land. The board embraced the project understanding it could enhance the downtown revitalization and waterfront redevelopment effort and began working with the City, Chamber and the Craven County Cooperative Extension Service to secure a small tract of land from the City and acquire grant funds to construct a market on the urban renewal land.
Although vendors from the Curb Market presented a petition in February 1980 to the board of aldermen protesting construction of a new farmers market, the City sanctioned the creation of the Farmers Market Planning Committee composed of members of the Chamber, Swiss Bear and Extension Service and urged them to move forward.
The committee applied for incorporation as a nonprofit organization, developed by-laws and appointed a board of directors that included a representative from the Chamber, Swiss Bear, County Agriculture Extension Service and the County government.
The City agreed to lease a portion of the urban renewal land (renamed Bicentennial Park) near the western edge bordered by the railroad tracks and Tryon Palace Drive (now South Front Street) to the nonprofit Board to construct a building and operate as a Farmers Market for 30 years at $1 per year.
With assistance from N.C. Main Street architect, Jo Ramsey, the design work for the open air structure by Chamber Executive Bill Edwards was finalized and approved by the Historic Preservation Committee. In April 1982, the Farmers Market Board received a special appropriation of $125,000 from the state legislature for construction of the new facility.
The new market began operating on May 14, 1983 in an open-air environment until the building could be constructed which was delayed due to property issues with the Southern Railway, which owned an eight-foot strip of land running down the middle of the Farmers Market property. After a period of negotiation, the City obtained an agreement with the railroad and the new open-air building was constructed with room for 30 producers in the building and space for producers outside.
In the late 1980�s, during the tenure of Tom Barton, chairman, Billy Dunham, vice chairman and myself as treasurer, the Market Board recognized and supported the effort to acquire funding to enclose the building for year-round use as a market and a facility that could be rented for special events. As an open air pavilion, its use was limited to operating as a market April through October. We submitted a grant application to the N.C. Department of Agriculture and received $52,500 in the spring of 1987 used to enclose the building, install a heating system, enlarge the parking area and landscape the grounds.
The Market board hired a market manager, operated the Market Wednesday and Saturday�s and aggressively marketed rental of the building for on-going activities, concerts, private rentals, and community events.
In the spring of 1989, the New Bern Noon Rotary Club and the New Bern Breakfast Rotary Club donated $10,500 toward the purchase and installation of the wrought iron and brick fence around the perimeter of the property to enhance and control use of the Market for concert/event rentals, especially those charging an entry fee. At that time, the Rotary Club�s rented the Market for the Labor Day Weekend Michelob Cup Regatta, which included an evening concert and awards party.
Market vendors are required to join the market for an annual fee and must meet their �grow it, bake it, sew it, make it� rules to rent a space. The twenty member board of directors, chaired by Joe Hunt, is responsible for operating the market year round every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and conducting a year round calendar of events. Vendor and rental fees are used for marketing and the on-going maintenance of the property and building.
Throughout the years, the property�s value, space constraints for expansion, parking and minimal hours led to numerous discussions in the previous administration between the City and Market board to include relocation to a larger more visible location in the greater downtown area on a major corridor to service more people, be open five days a week, and serve as an incubator for start-up small businesses (seafood, and other food stuffs).
With the expiration of the 30 year lease in October 2012, the City renewed the lease for 36 months. The City has the option to terminate the lease with a one year notice and the Market Board has the option in 2015 to renew the lease for two more years under the same terms. Parking in the Farmers Market is also available for public parking except for overnight parking, during market operating hours or when it is rented for use by private groups.
The Farmers Market, like many other strategies, played an important role in the redevelopment of the waterfront and downtown effort. Well-loved for both its local fresh produce and other offerings, the Farmers Market is a social hub that brings the community together and more and more people downtown every week.
The Farmers Market is now open Tuesday from 10 to 2 pm. For more information go to newbernfarmersmarket.org.
Susan Moffat-Thomas is executive director of Swiss Bear Downtown Development Corp.

With budgets slashed due to sequestration, the US Air Force is eyeing vertical cuts — the removal from service of single-mission aircraft to save money that can be invested toward readiness and modernization.
One target is the A-10, a decades-old plane designed for close-air support (CAS) missions. But supporters of the plane have rallied against the service, and Congress inserted language into last month's National Defense Authorization Act prohibiting the Air Force from cutting the platform.
"Precision-guided munitions have changed the way we have traditionally thought about CAS," said Mark Gunzinger, an analyst with the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments who served in a number of Pentagon roles. "Increasingly, what really matters is the munitions and other weapons systems that can be carried by an aircraft, not the platform itself."
Gunzinger noted that sensors, data links and targeting pods have as much of an impact as weapons like the GBU-38 used for CAS missions on the B-1 bomber.
"So you can see why it would make sense in the future to emphasize designing weapons packages for multimission aircraft, rather than developing platforms specialized for single missions," he said.
Those multimission aircraft include the B-1 and F-15E. Pilots who have flown those planes into CAS situations argue that, with the technology now available, including precision weapons, dedicated close-air support platforms are no longer needed.
"The A-10 was designed for when you need to do visual map-to-ground, and that's not our primary, or preferred, way of delivering CAS anymore," said one B-1 pilot with extensive CAS experience.
"It's about communication, command and precision," added an F-15E pilot who has flown numerous CAS missions. "With helmet-mounted data, you can cue up targets, see much more than you were able to before. You always know where the target is.
"A-10s are fantastic CAS platforms, but our other multirole aircraft are pretty darn good, too," the F-15E pilot said.
The disagreements over precision weapons run parallel to the arguments around the continued use of the A-10.
Proponents of the A-10 claim precision munitions pose a danger to friendly forces on the ground. A 2009 Pentagon document defines the "danger close" range for forces standing on the ground — the range at which there is an increased chance of friendly fire — as 200 meters for a GBU-39 small diameter bomb.
In comparison, the "danger close" range for the A-10's gun is listed at 90 meters.
The newest version of the small diameter bomb — the SDB-II — could help with issue, Gunzinger said.
"It's a smaller weapon and can create effects with more precision and lower probability of unintended damage to close-in troops," he said. "I think that is going to be a very valuable weapon in the future."
But the service will likely never move away from the gun entirely.
"I've switched up attack runs that were supposed to be bombs to use the gun because it was too close to our troops or civilian structures," the F-15E pilot said. "I don't think you can build a bomb small enough to match the gun."
One veteran A-10 pilot argued that the time between launch and impact of precision weapons can be taken advantage of by enemies on the ground.
"I've watched guys drop GBUs from medium altitude on a group of bad guys, only to have the group split up or move, and the GBU, with a long time of fall, miss the target completely," the pilot said. "Smart enemies move."
That lag time diminishes the closer the plane is to the ground, but just how low an F-15, B-1 or, in the future, F-35, would go during a firefight could limit use of the weaponry. He also points out that high-tech weaponry is reliant on data links that could fail at a critical time for American forces on the ground.
"New technology doesn't change the tactics," the A-10 pilot said. (Defensenews)
