Scuttle-Butt Has It 'Mac' Leads a Busy Life
Navy V-12 trainees who passed the Naval air corps tests Friday and Saturday have a busy future, for "busy" is the word to describe the days of the Naval air corps aviation cadets, the men dressed in green who are seen carrying the brown leather satchels on their way to Marvin hall during their three months training period at the University.
The 90 men of the University unii are living in the Triangle' and Phi Psi houses, 1116 and 1100 Indiana, although during the past nine months they have been in and out of several habitations.
Day Starts at 6:30 a.m.
Revelille, "Hit 'da deck!" in naval language, is sounded at 6 in the morning by a raucous buzzer. At 6:30 a.m., Mac—even the air corps cannot escape that obnoxious name—after making his bunk, dressing, and cleaning his room, reports for breakfast, which is served in the Phi Fsi house.
Ground school for one-half the men and flight instruction for the other half, starts at 7 a.m. Ground school classes, held in Marvin hall last till 10:30, when the cadets report to Robinson gymnasium for an hour and a half of "relaxing" physical training. At 12:30 all hands are back at the Phi Psi house for noon chow.
Have Six Subjects in Class
The afternoon schedule, which starts at 1 o'clock, is reversed. The men who had morning ground school now receive flight instruction, and the morning fliers receive ground school and the inescapable physical training.
Five different fields—communications, navigation, civil air regulations, meterology, and engine mechanics—are covered by the cadets in their class work, communications and navigation receiving the most time. The leather brief cases carried by the men are made especially for the plotting boards used by aerial navigators.
In addition to their communication

work, the men learn to identify all types of aircraft and naval vessels. A picture of each is flashed on a screen for one one-hundredth of a second, as a test. In that brief instant the cadets must recognize the make and nationality of the plane or vessel.
Solo After 10 Hours
Beach cadet spends an average of 9 minutes a day in the air at flight school, which is at the Lawrence airport. After his first 36 hours of flight, he is graduated from the light Piper Cubs, a small cabin plane, to the heavier and faster N3N, an intermediate trainer. Most of the cadets solo after 8 or 10 hours of flight.
After evening chow, at 6:30 p.m., the cadets may do whatever they please, except for the 8:00 to 9:30 study hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights or, if necessary, the extra instruction given at Marvin hall from 7:30 to 9:30 on the same evenings. Friday evening a thorough inspection of the personnel barracks is held. Like the rest of the naval trainees at the University, they have liberty nights on Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
