K.U. Second In CAA Training
K.U. 305 Take Flight Courses Since 1939
The University is the second ranking school in the nation in training airmen for national defense, Prof. Earl D. Hay, C.A.A. supervisor, said today. When this semester ends, the University will have given training to 305 students. The CAA course was only begun in 1939.
The training staff consists of Bill and Don Ascraft, flight instructors, and Professor Hay, co-director of the Civil Aeronautics Authority at the University and instructor of ground work.
In 1939 the University was one of five schools in the country to turn out their full quota with 20 students completing the course.
Number Doubles In '39-'40
The number taking the primary course doubled for 1939-'40, and five students took the advanced course.
Last summer the maximum quota was filled again Sixty primary and 10 advanced students were trained.
Last fall the enrollment was limited to 50 in the primary course. Advanced training was completed by 20 students.
A step forward was taken when 10 students began work on their 250 hours flying time and instructor's rating last fall.
90 Enrolled This Spring
This spring 90 students are enrolled in CAA. Fifty are taking the primary training, 30 are advanced students, and 10 students are working for instructor's licenses.
Of the 305 students who have taken CAA training, 33-or more than $10\%$ -have gone to army and navy schools at Randolph Field, Texas, and Pensascola, Fla. Of these, two, Russell Chitwood and Lloyd Ware, are now CAA flight instructors at the airport.
First Woman To Pass Test
Helen Hay Richardson of Lawrence has passed her instructor's test here. She is the only woman in the United States who has passed this test under CAA.
Last week, Prof. Earl D. Hay announced extension of the University CAA program to include training for commercial and instructor's licenses. The new course will consist of 120 hours of cross-country training. A new five-passenger Stinson cabin plane has been purchased for use in the course.
Ellsworth Returns From Art Festival
Miss Maud Ellsworth, instructor of art education, returned Sunday from Austin, Texas, where she spoke before students at the University of Texas spring art festival on "Inner Defense Through Art Education."
Miss Ellsworth served at a panel discussion on "Problems of Art Education," and also acted as judge of a state painting exhibit.
100 Fly Over Hill On Air Day
Approximately 100 passengers took advantage of low rates to fly over Mt. Oread Sunday afternoon.
Bill Ashcraft of the Ashcraft Brothers Flying Service reported that approximately 30 flights were made over the campus, each averaging about eight miles in length.
Highlight of the day was an exhibition of stunt flying by Bill Ashcraft, which included loops, rolls, spins, power-dives, and lazy eights.
The purpose of Air Day was to make people "air conscious" and was sponsored by the Women's National Aeronautical Association. Members of the group acted as hostesses to the many visitors to the airport, showing them the hangars and planes.
The General committee for celebration of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary of the University announced today the prize winner for the K.U. song contest.
Walton's Song Wins Contest
First place goes to Wirt D. Walton of St. Louis, Mo., for a song entitled "Mt. Oread We Love Thee" and honorable mention to William Ward, a student in the School of Fine Arts for an "Alma Mater" song.
Walton attended Kansas State College for a year and a half and has been attending University summer sessions for eight years.
Plans will be worked out soon to give the new song a public hearing sometime during the Commencement activities.
The song contest announced early this year and closing on May 1 brought in eleven different entries all of which were interesting material.
Judges for the contest were W. Otto Miesner, chairman, head of the department of public school music; Mrs. Waldemar Geltch and Allen Crafton, head of the department of drama and speech.
William Daugherty, a member of the editorial staff of the Kansas City Kansan, will speak at the Sigma Delta Chi, men's journalism fraternity, banquet at 6:15 o'clock tonight in the Colonial Tea Room.
