UNUs Angel Flight teaches history, helps community
By Kris Hansen
The words "Angel Flight" bring to mind visions of the
way station in Heaven Can Wait where the newly-arrived
dead are whisked to heaven in a Concorde.
However, UNL's Angel Flight is not quite that.
Flight Commander Teri Barowsky said Angel Flight is
a campus and social service organization which each year
helps children, the elderly, and the handicapped.
Barowsky, a junior teaching major from Omaha, said
this year's projects include a Halloween play for children
in the hospital pediatrics center, a "Safety Awareness"
campaign, and a yet-unplanned project on 'historical
awareness."
'Our primary goal is to promote aerospace education,
but we do a little of everything," Barowsky said.
Angel Flight works closely with the Arnold Air Soci
ety, a group of distinguished Air Force cadets. The groups
work on some projects together, have joint meetings, and
support each other during other ventures.
Not military
However, Barowsky said she stresses that Angel Flight
is not a military organization, even though it is sponsored
by the Air Force.
"Some girls join who are interested in fulfilling pro
jects, some are interested in the Air Force, some want to
learn more about national security and the armed forces
and some just think it's a neat organization," Barowsky

The organization also participates in several on-campus
projects. ... .
"For the last 16 years we've hostessed in the press box
at football games' said Barowsky. "We also work in the
basketball concession stands. These are our money
makers." Angel Flight is non-profit and self-supporting,
she added.
The chapter is one of over 100 Angel Right organiza
tions in the country. The chapters are divided into areas
which work together on projects. Nine schools in Kansas,
Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado make up the H-l dis
trict, to which UNL belongs.
Rotating headquarters
The area headquarters- rotates every year, and this
year it's here. We not only have the local but the area
headquarters , too ," Barowsky said .
Although Angel Flight is open to males, most of the
members are females. To join, a person must have a CPA
of 2.0, have Tuesday night free for meetings and pass
the pledge test, according to Suzanne Maul, pledge direc
tor. "Pledges take part in all that we do. They come to
meetings, work on projects, and do several projects of
their own, as a class," explained Maul, a senior teaching
major from Omaha.
"The pledge test isn't hard, either. It's just to help
you learn the history and things like that," Maul added.
Barowsky said Angel Flight was founded in 1952 at
Omaha University. "At the time, there was more of a
military trend and a need for students to learn about the
military but not make a military commitment," she said.
The program had a slump five years ago due to the
non-military movement, Barowsky said, but the group
has made a comeback since then.
Bo you rant toffy?
Face it you've always wanted to fly! Most of us remember that
feeling and for a lot of us it has never gone away
You re in luck Air Force ROTC can set you winging. Our Flight
Instruction Program (FIP) is designed to teach you the basics of
flight and includes flying lessons in light aircraft at a civilian
operated flying school
The program is an EXTRA given to cadets who can become Air
Force pilots through Air Force ROTC. Taken during the senior
year m college, it is the first step up for the cadet who is going on
to Air Force jet pilot training after graduation
Air Force ROTC also has a scholarship program to pay for books,
fees, and full tuition, along with $100 a month. This is all reserved
for the cadet who wants to get his life off the ground . with Air
Force flying
