Dr. Andrew S. Gibbons, an instructional d psychologist from Layton has joined the research staff at W1CAT Inc. in Orem, according to Dr. Dustin H Heuston . , W I CAT chairman. DR. GIBBONS is project director on a $1 million-pluthree-yea- r DR. GIBBONS has written a number of professional papers and served as organizer for the Symposium on Instructional Design Theory and Practice, the Symposium on Content and Task Analy sis in Instructional Design, and the SympoInstrucsium on Large-Scal- e tional Systems Design: Present and Future, all for the research program to develop innovative approaches to simulation training for military jet pilots. The project is funded by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. He says that simulation training through the use of computers is actually more effective and powerful in the initial stages of training than working with the actual aircraft because trainees are exposed to realistic experiences under a variety of circumstances at a fraction of the cost of operating real equipment. WE ARE developing capacities to simulate real flight conditions wherein student pilots interact with computers and related equipment in such a way that they are informed what they are doing wrong, what would ahppen to them if they were actually in (light, and what they need to do to solve their problems." Dr. Gibbons explained. Simulation training provides such a dynamic, realistic environment that we have had pilots come out of the training unit exhausted and sweating." he added.

Unlike other political parties whose platforms change direcevery four years like the wind changes tion. the American party maintains a permanent platform based on the belief that there are true principles of government that do not change. Here are some of those governing principles, in brief: FOREIGN POLICY The American Party believes our government should be prohibited from conducting or entering into secret treaties or agreements which, in any way, are binding upon the United States. 2. The American Party opposes United States membership in any organization which, in any way, infringes on the sovereignty of the United States and its citizens. 3. The American Party believes it is a violation of the right of private property guaranteed under the constitution for the government to forcibly deprive citizens of their proporder to make a gift thereof erty by taxation in to foreign governments and or other citizens.
