Flying Cadet Unit Virtually Assured
That the University of Kansas will have a flying cadet unit in the Army Air Corps was virtually assured yesterday when Lieutenant Byrl Schaubert of the Army Air Force reported that 30 students had enrolled for the unit and 15 of these had already passed the examinations.
The tunit is being organized under a recently adopted plan in which flying cadet units of 20 men are being recruited in colleges throughout the United States.
These recruits will be assigned to the same elementary flying school and every effort will be made to permit the members of the unit to complete their flight training together. First Unit At Stanford
The first unit to be organized under the new plan was Stanford University's "Flying Cadet Unit No. 1," May 21.
The student flyer candidates will spend 30 weeks in training at three flying schools which will give them primary, basic. and advanced courses of instruction. Upon graduation they will be commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants in the Air Corps Reserve, and ordered to extended active duty with the Army Air Corps. Their pay as cadets will be $75 a month and allowances. As 2nd Lieutenants, they will receive $245 a month and allowances.
Requirements Changed
The requirements are that applicants be between 20 and 26 years old, inclusive, be unmarried, in excellent health and must pass a written examination in general subjects or submit one-half the credits necessary for graduation from a recognized college to obtain an exemption from the written examination.
The written examination for appointment as a flying cadet for those who have not had two years of college has been changed. Formerly the prospective cadets were required to pass an examination in nine subjects. The examination scheduled August 12, the first affected by the changes, candidates will be required to take examinations in only seven subjects.
70 Per Cent Passing
A passing grade is required in each of the following subjects: English composition and grammar, arithmetic, algebra, plane geometry, and plane trigonometry. Two of the following subjects may be used to complete the list of seven subjects: United States history, general history, elementary physics, inorganic chemistry, and any modern language except English.
Applicants who show successful college completion of any of the subjects given in the educational examination will receive credit for a grade of 80 per cent. For the entire examination, a passing grade is 70 per cent. Birth Certificate Needed
The examinations are given four times a year and generally require three days for completion. About 2,500 candidates competed in each of the last two examinations. Examinations are given by boards at 54 stations and cities in the United States and possessions.
Candidates are also required to present a birth certificate, three letters of recommendation, and a transcript of their college credits.
