Prof. Hay Expects Air School Details
Earl D. Hay, professor of mechanical engineering, is receiving letters every day from prospective students interested in the new flying course that will be offered next semester.
Hay, who is enthusiastic over the new course, said that everything is in tip-top shape for flight instructor training. He was proved by the Board of Regents.
Kansas City Star photographers were at the local airport last week taking pictures of several of the student flyers, members of the engineering faculty, and the flying field, said Hay.
Instructions from Washington, D.C., as to how the student flyers are to be selected are expected any day. As soon as they are received the applicants will be informed as to the qualifications demanded by the government and selection of student will be started as soon as possible.

As an aid in drafting a constitution that will be legal, the committee has sent letters of inquiry to many of the 40 colleges and universities having similar independent organizations. Those on the committee are John Oakson, b'40; chairman; Bill Pickers, c'40; and David Whitney, c'40.

Boston U. Dean Says Half of Students Quit

And, strangely enough, his students their senior year, after having successfully completed three years work,
Boston, Mass. —(ACP)—Casting a dash of cold water on the high hopes of the members of the class of '42, Boston University's dean E. W. Lord has predicted that not more than one-half of the nation's newest crop of collegians will graduate. And to back up his prediction, Dean Lord quotes you statistics from a survey he has just completed. The survey reveals that of 214,000 freshmen who entered colleges four years ago, 99,644 failed to complete the four-year course—and that is less than half of the original registrants included in his survey.
The dean does not agree with the theory that some schools are "essential" for academic freedom, a freshman is just as liable to flunk in a small college as in a large one.
Famed Foreign Correspondent To Lecture
★ John Gunther To Forcast the Events of Historical Importance of 1939 in Hoch Auditorium F.9.
John Gunther, one of the world's outstanding authorities on international affairs, a newspaper correspondent, and an author, will discuss "Inside New York and What 1930 Banned Books Were" at K-20 Thursday, June 9.

Officers of the freshman class who started the University last week when they declared that they were not going to be more figureheads, held their second meeting Sunday evening in the lounge of the Memorial Union building. Members of the committees appointed by David Whitney, c42, president of the freshman class, met for the first time and outlined plans for immediate action.
The committee appointed to investigate the University's traditions with Chairman Roh Thomas.
Brown said that the committee considered the forum topics wore and useless. It was suggested that the new forums should be specialized rather than general. He gave as an example a forum on journalism, at which three speakers would be presented, a reporter, an adver-
fising man, and a linetype operator. The committee feels that a forum of this sort would have more appeal to one interest in journalism than a second.
For the forum discussions, Brown said that whenever possible, members of the University faculty and alumni would be used.
Members of the traditions committee are Bob Thomas, c'42, chairman; Sue Johnston, c'42, Paul Wise, c'42, Gerald Wright, c'42, Fred Colson, c-42, Clarence Peterson, c'42, and Don Mosser, c'42.
The vocational group includes Joe Brown, chairman. Howd and Rankin, c'42; Marnay Korber, c'42; Nina Wiese, surfaces, c'42, and Fred Everhard, c'42.
