Air Science Chief Has World-Wide Experiences
By JACK ZIMMERMAN
When Lt. Col. Lynn R. Moore, professor of air science, lectures to his classes about international military affairs he speaks from first-hand observation.
Colonel Moore has had experience in almost all phases of military air activity. He has served as a combat pilot, an executive in the training branch, and as a military attache to the United Nations.
But his military training started even before he joined the air force; he was graduated in 1938 from the New Mexico military institute.
In November, 1839, he left the University of Tulsa to enter the air
force flying school at Randolph field, Texas. After finishing basic pilot training he moved to Kelly field, Texas, for advanced pilot training.

In July, 1940. Colonel Moore was commissioned a second lieutenant and assigned to a headquarters.
Coloner moore was one of the first pilots sent out to fly planes to England with the Ferry command. He flew four-engineered Liberators and twin-engineed Hudson's from the Lockheed plant in California to Montreal, Canada, where English and Canadian pilots took over.
When the United States declared war on Japan after Pearl Harbor, Colonel Moore was assigned to coastal patrol duty on the west coast.
The Japs attacked Kiska, Alaska, in June, 1942, and Colonel Moore was sent to the Aleutians immediately and assigned to the 30th bomber group. He flew 43 combat missions during the time when the Japs were using the then new and very fast Zero fighter. During the year he was up there Colonel Moore was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal.
He went back to Tulsa in 1947 and got his bachelor of science degree in business administration, and the following year was assigned to the United States delegation to the United Nations.
Colonel Moore was a member of the military staff committee, a subordinate group to the security council. The main duty of the committee was to report on armed forces available to the security council.
Between 1943 and 1947 he had various assignments, including training crews for B-29s and serving as deputy director of the Flying Training section in the Pentagon building.
It was while he was with this group that Colonel Moore first came to K.U. The chancellor invited the group to appear before organizations interested in the United Nations.
Colonel Moore liked the University so he requested duty here when he finished his tour of duty with the advisory group. He reported to K.U. in July, 1949.
The normal term of duty in a unit such as the one at the University is three years, so Colonel Moore

still has another year to go before he is off to the wars again.

A campus life has certainly changed these past 100 years. Back in 1851 there were only 160 colleges in the entire country. Today, there are 1,849. No Rose Bowl game at the end of the football season in those days. No football season as a matter of fact. Open surreys were standard equipment of college Romeos—there wasn't a cream-colored convertible on the landscape. It was then, a century ago, that Arrow started manufacturing their famous collars... and in a few years they were setting campus styles. That's one thing that hasn't changed.Arrow is still style leader on America's campuses. College men everywhere know that the Arrow label always stands for smart styles, fine fabrics, meticulous tailoring... the superior quality that reflects good taste.
