CLASSES FLY HIGH—The first of two Beech C45-H twin engine planes to be used by aeronautical engineering students awaits its new operators at the Lawrence Municipal Airport.

The first of two Beech C45-H twin engine airplanes is now at the KU hanger at the Lawrence Municipal Airport.
Aeronautical Engineers to Get Practice in Flying Classroom
Aeronautical engineering students soon will have a flying classroom in which they will translate textbook theory into actual practice.
The plane that will be chosen for flight work will be worth about $50,000 when it is overhaulbed and put into good flying condition. The expense incurred in getting the aircraft out of mothballs and flying them to Lawrence cost the University about $500 per plane.
The planes were obtained from the Air Force through the Kansas Surplus Property Division.
Mr. Norman W. Hoecker, lab director of the aeronautical hanger at Lawrence Municipal Airport flew the plane to Lawrence from Davis-Monthan Air Base, Tucson, Ariz. "She purred like a kitten," said Mr. Hoecker. "Average speed back was around 150 miles per hour and the weather was nice most of the way except for some snowstorms near Albuquerque. I encountered some pretty strong head winds and cross winds and had to refuel first at Albuquerque, and then at Wichita. She used a lot more fuel than I expected she would, but when she's
put into top condition the fuel consumption will be cut down. She was wonderful on oil, used only two quarts."
The twin engine Beech is not licensed and was flown to Lawrence on a Ferry Permit.
Best Planes Donated
There are hundreds of planes sitting in the Arizona Air Base. The best ones are being donated to educational institutions for teaching purposes. The others are being sold on the open market for 12 to 14 thousand dollars each, said Mr Hoecker.
"We are paying less for the entire plane than we would pay for many used parts if we were to buy them from other sources."
The licensed plane will be used for classwork as a flying laboratory. Students will be able to make observations under actual flight conditions, study instrumentation, and subject the aircraft to stress and strain conditions.
The department of aeronautical engineering will cannibalize one of the planes for spare parts. James B. Tiedemann, associate professor of aeronautical engineering said.
The twin engine C45 will also be used by the University when necessary and it will be available to the Civil Defense in time of emergency. A good deal of work will have to be done on the plane before it will be eligible for flight certification said Mr. Hoecker. It will also need a good painting to remove all Air Force insignia and a general good cleaning. Both engines are good as they have only 350 flying hours on them, Mr. Hoecker continued.
A new course for high school chemistry teachers will be offered during the summer session, June 9- August 6. It is "Selected Topics in Modern Chemistry," carrying four hours of junior-senior or graduate level credit.
High School Teachers To Get June Course
Dean Kenneth D. Anderson, of the School of Education, said the course, taught by Albert W. Burgstahler, assistant professor of chemistry, was developed by the chemistry department specifically for the teacher education program.

Students Slow Up Library Service
If you think you are being inefficiently waited upon at Watson's circulation department, simmer down. You may have sent the librarian on a wild goose chase.
The reasons for the longer lengths of time were numerous. Some students have handed in as many as nine call slip requiring books which were scattered. Another may be a request for periodicals which are on the lowest level of the stacks.
John Nugent, head of the circulation department, said that due to a shortage of help and perhaps a lack of understanding on the students' part, the service is slow.
Another reason it may take some time to locate a book is that some students fail to acknowledge the location stamp on the catalogued card.
A student doesn't realize that when he hands the librarian one, two, or three call slips, he may be sending her to all the levels of the stacks plus two or three other choice cubicles said Mr. Nugent.
From a study run in 1955-56, Mr. Nugent said that it took from one to ten minutes from the time the call slip was handed to the librarian until the book was found and given to the student.

Six KU Journalism Students Attend Education Meetings
Six KU students have been named to represent the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information at three advertising and public relations educational programs this month.
Joanne M. Novak, Minneapolis, Minn., senior, and Paul B. Lewellyn, Hutchinson senior, will be guests at College Awards Days sponsored by the Advertising Club of St. Louis, April 24-26.
James E. Dykes, associate professor of journalism, will accompany the students.
Marcia N. Moran, Prairie Village senior, and Duane E. Hill, Chanute junior, will attend a conference sponsored by the Chicago Federated Advertising Club April 18-20.
The Kansas City Public Relations Society will be host April 19 to representatives of KU, Missouri University, Kansas State University and colleges in the Kansas City area. Dorothy Boller, Kansas City, Mo., junior, and William E. Blundell, Lawrence graduate student, will represent KU.
Shelter Models on Display
Students of Design IV have constructed scale models of various primitive shelters, and will have them on display in the cafeteria and the lobby of the Kansas Union tomorrow. The project is designed to develop research ability and interest in the evolution of dwellings from ancient times to the present.
