Students Drop School Work Uncle Sam Tempts Nine To Become Commercials
The University has again gone the "second mile" with Uncle Sam! Nine students have dropped out of school to take the Civil Aeronautic Authority's new course in commercial aviation due to the amount of time necessary to take the course.
This course, which started Oct. 1, is the fifth and most advanced C.A.A. course to be offered here. Most of the boys taking it have been flying for at least two years and will have over
200 solo hours in the air by November when the course is completed.
18 Hours of Class Work
Ground school for the new course is taught in three-hour sessions from 7 o'clock until 10 o'clock six nights each week and includes meteorology, radio and celestial navigation, civil air regulations, and beam flying. An average of two hours of flying each day is done, weather permitting.
Ultimate reward for the work, besides temporary deferment from the draft, is a commercial pilot's license and instructor's rating. K. U. Second in Trainees
The Ashcraft Flying School is in charge of the instruction. Through the cooperation of Ashcraft and the C.A.A., more students have been trained here than any other school in the country except the University of Southern California.
Former K.U. students enrolled in the commercial course are Jack
Bauman, Harold Evans, John Stratton, Ed Montgomery, Robert Still, Earl Snowden, Richard Chenoweth, William Stone, and Hal Ruppenthal.
Outside students coming in for the course include Joe Werkbek, Edward Flynm, and Jerry Jerico.
Dr. Cora Downs Will Speak Today To Bacteriologists
Dr. Cora Downs, professor of bacteriology, will talk at 4:30 today to the staff and graduate students of the department. Her discussion will be concerned chiefly with the development of vaccines for Rocky Mountain spotted fever, typhus fever, and yellow fever, as carried on by the Rocky Mountain laboratory where she studied this summer. The laboratory is located at Hamilton, Montana, and is a branch of the United States Public Health service.
