Getting Buzzed for Cancer Research

Faculty, staff, and cadets are getting buzzed for cancer research at FUMA. For a $5 donation towards cancer research, customers at the FUMA Barber Shop are receiving buzz cuts so they can look as good as the coolest guy in town, LTC Jim Akers.

Jim Akers, FUMA's longtime Director of Admissions, has been undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment for cancer since Christmas Day of 2004. Treatment has so far been effective and Jim remains in high spirits as always. Jim is returning to work soon and remains as vibrant as ever.

Jim and General Jackson recently posed wearing a couple of very attractive hairpieces. Faculty, staff, and cadets hope that this new look will not catch on, as even the buzzcuts are preferable to this!
