"U.S.A. Keep 'em Flying"--- Uncle Sam's Air Schools Give Unequaled Training
Let's Go! "U.S.A. Keep 'em Flying!" is a challenging slogan directed to the American people in general and particularly to ambitious young men of the country. Any man accepting this challenge may be assured that in Uncle Sam's air corps training schools he will receive a flying education that is unequaled in the world today. Value of this training has been estimated at $25,000.
At Randolph field, Texas, 4.500 flying cadets are trained annually under the new expansion program of the army air corps. Here at "The West Point of the Air" primary classes report every five weeks and as they arrive for training the graduating class transfers to advanced schools to complete their training.
Flying cadets learn the fundamentals of flying in rugged 200-horsepower planes at the various air corps elementary training schools scattered over the country. Here cadets master all aerial maneuvers from take-offs to snap rolls and log the impressive total of 65 hours aloft!
The fledgling pilots, or "dodos" as they are called by upperclassmen, who make the grade are transferred to Randolph or some similar field where they get an additional 70 hours of flight training. Important tests to be mastered in the secondary course, and incidentally they sound mighty interesting, include
night flying; landings and take-offs aided by searchlights, and then later only by the plane's wing-tip lights; aerial aerobatics; cross country flights; and formation and instrument flying. Cadets must "wait on the line" each day for their particular plane and instructor to come in and then they get an opportunity to go aloft and show their stuff. "Waiting on the line" merely means that time when a cadet has to wait on the flying field for his turn to go up.
Subjects mastered in ground school classes include weather problems, military law, and airplane maintenance. Cadets fortunate enough not to "wash out" at basic training are scheduled for a final 10 weeks training at advanced or specialized air corps schools before winning their wings.
Here is a particularly interesting point for you men to notice. During the thirty week training period, aviation cadets are paid $75 monthly plus food, clothing, and quarters. After receiving wings and commissions as 2nd lieutenants, pay jumps to $205 monthly and quarters, or $245 if quarters are not provided. If an officer desires to return to civil life after a tour of active duty with the air force, he is paid a bonus of $500 for each year served as a flying officer!
Entrance requirements are stiff so all you men aspiring to be army flyers get in those books and dig.
Kollendar Tells Band Boys "You Are On The Spot"
Sergeant William Kollender, assistant instructor of military science, addressed the University band last evening with the following words: "You are on the spot. With the flag rustling and drums rolling, there is a universal atmosphere of militarism and this band will be expected to live up to that this year more than ever before."
The band, 110 strong, is gett class on the Hill. Last night ban and were entertained by records vious years. Billy Sears, out- standing baton twirler, gave a demonstration of his skill with the field and electric batons.
Five faculty and alumni members left this afternoon for Hutchinson where they will attend the annual alumni reunion picnic there. Those making the trip were Frank Stockton, dean of the School of Business; George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education; F. A. Russell, professor of civil engineering; Judge Hugo T. Wedell, president of the Alumni Association; and Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association.
The band, 110 strong, is getting its first taste of the earliest class on the Hill. Last night band members attended a smoker and were entertained by records cut by the bands of two previous years. Billy Sears, out $ ^{c}$
Five From University Attend Alumni Meet At Hutchinson Today
Highlight of the evening was the presentation of a clown band by E. Thayer Gaston, assistant professor of education. Ten members played a concoction of old favorites in a style of unadulterated "corn."
Only guests present were Seargeant Kollender, and Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary and honorary member of the band. Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting.
Sunmerfields Plan Picnic October 12
Plans for the annual picnic of Summerfield Scholars were announced yesterday by the student committee. The picnic will be held at the home of Irving Hill, treasurer of the Endowment Association, Sunday, Oct. 12.
The first picnics of the group were held at the Robinson farm, but in recent years the scholars have been guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hill each fall.
Included in the program for the afternoon will be softball, tennis, football, badminton, and horseshoes. A picnic supper will precede the presentation of the scholarship award certificates.
Dr. E. Thayer Gaston, astst. professor of education on the Hill and supervisor of music at University High School, will appear once a month on a radio program heard over KFKU. The program is arranged especially for housewives. Dr. Gaston's talks will be concerned with music and its place in the home.

Nightshirts ☆ ☆ ☆
Annual Parade October 24
According to Roy Edwards, head cheerleader and president of KuKu's, the annual nightshirt parade will be staged Friday, Oct. 24, as scheduled in the K-book. This is the day before the Kansas-Iowa State football game.
The nightshirt parade was changed back to the original date to allow Kansas high school journalism students, who are holding their annual fall conference on the campus that week-end, to view the spectacle.
The parade which was planned for tomorrow night would have conflicted with the Lawrence-Rosedale high school football game to be played tomorrow night in Haskell stadium.
32 Turn Out for First Bridge Lesson
The first free bridge lecture conducted by Mrs. Ivan D. Rowe of Lawrence, brought 32 students to the Union building Tuesday night to learn the fundamentals of bidding and honor trick count.
Every lecture is presented on the blackboard and followed by play at bridge tables applying the principles learned in the lecture. Individual instruction is given all who attend. Mimeographed sheets of explanation are distributed at every meeting.
Since every lecture completely reviews all preceding fundamentals, Mrs. Rowe urges those who could not attend the first lecture to come to the second next Tuesday night. The Student Union Activities board sponsors the free bridge lectures.
Hanover, seat of Dartmouth College, once rose temporarily to the position of capital of New Hampshire. In 1795 the legislature met there and Gov. John T. Gilman was inaugurated in the Dartmouth chapel.
Washington. Oct. 2—(UP)—President Roosevelt today was asked by Chairman Martin Dies, D., Tex., of the house committee investigating un-American activities to make it "unmistakably clear that the Soviet regime is utterly repugnant to
