One officer is retiring from the Air Force ROTC this week and another has been chosen to assume his duties.
Col. McHenry Hamilton Jr., professor of air science, will retire from active duty Friday. He has been replaced by Lt. Col. Robert P. Ash, who recently transferred here from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla.
Colonel Hamilton has been on duty for the past two years at KU. He plans to enter the real estate business in Florida.
Graduating from Louisiana College in 1933, he did graduate work at Louisiana State University. He entered aviation cadet training at Randolph Field, Texas, and received his pilot wings in 1938.
Colonel Hamilton has had varied duties during his 21 years of active duty. He was a air officer, Puerto Rican Department from 1942 to 1943. In 1945 he served as commander of the 466th bomber group in Italy. In 1948 he was deputy inspector general for the Air Defense Command.
Prior to assuming command of the Air Force ROTC unit at KU, he was director of materiel with the 21st air division at Forbes Air Force Base in Topeka.
He is a graduate of the Command and General Staff School at Ft. Leavenworth, the Air Command and Staff College and the strategic Intelligence School in Washington, D.C.

After three years of classwork, senior cadets from the Air Force ROTC will get off the ground this semester.
Air Force Cadets Take to Air
The new light plane pilot program began yesterday for many air force seniors. Others who have signed to fly after they graduate will follow in the next few weeks.
Each participating cadet will receive 36 and one half hours of flight training. Upon completion he will qualify for a private pilot's licence.
Seniors are given the pilot training as a means of motivating more cadets to an Air Force career and to permit an earlier screening of each cadet's adaptability to flying.
The Erhart Flying Service is giving the flight instruction at the
Lawrence Municipal airport under the supervision of the Civil Aeronautics Administration. Sixty-five horsepower Aeronca Aircraft will be used for the 18 hours of dual instruction, 17 hours of solo instruction and a one and a half hour CAA examination.
Upon completion of the flight training each cadet must pass a Civil Aeronautics Administration written test and flight proficiency ride to qualify for a private pilot's license.
Prior to taking the flight training, cadets have to qualify in a ground
training program covering weather, navigation and flight regulations. This will be taught in the regular curriculum by Air Force ROTC instructor personnel.
Senior cadets who began their flying instruction Monday were: John L. Bourrett, Mission; Richard L. Bowers, Kansas City, Kan.; Larry L. Dunlap, Salina; David H. Hutchison, Maryville, Mo.; Robert J. Lewis, Russell; Paul M. Nielsen, Riverside, Ill.; William P. Reinken, Lawrence, and Herbert S. Weldon, Kansas City, Mo.
Receives $10,000 for Fungus Study
The National Science Foundation has granted $10,000 for two years for research on "The Fungal Order Cerrinales." Dr. Robert W. Lichtwardt, assistant professor of botany,
is the principal investigator. The project is a study of the infection of arthropods by the group of fungi Eccrinales. Dr. Lichtwardt has been doing research with the fungi for several years.
Job facts from Du Pont
DU PONT PLANTS AND LABORATORIES IN 26 STATES OFFER VARIED JOB LOCATIONS TO TECHNICAL STUDENTS
BENEFIT PROGRAM MEANS ADDED INCOME
by C. M. Forbes Du Pont personnel representative
Don't forget the "extras" of an employee benefit program when you compare the job offers and salaries of different companies. At Du Pont, these extras mean added income that doesn't always meet the eye. They include life insurance, group hospitalization and surgical coverage, accident and health insurance, pension plan and paid vacation.
In addition, the Company sponsors a thrift plan. After two years of service, for every dollar you invest in U.S. Savings Bonds the Company sets aside 25 cents for the purchase of common stock in your name. Roughly, 60,000 of our employees are now participating in this plan.
If you have specific questions on DuPont benefits, just send them to me. I'll be happy to try to answer them. E. I du Pont de Nemours & Co. (Inc.), Room 12421 Nemours Building, Wilmington 98, Delaware.
EXPANSION PROGRAM OPENS UP MANY NEW CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
The location of your first assignment with DuPont depends on your qualifications and on the openings in your field, but every effort is made to match the job and the location with your preference. The chances for a successful match are good.
Today there are men and women carving out careers with DuPont at more than 75 plants and nearly 100 laboratories spread throughout 26 states. Last year the Company spent $220 million for new plants and for increased capacities at existing installations. This year new plants have already been put into operation in Virginia and Michigan. Six more are under construction. Others are planned for the near future.
Most DuPont units, it is true, are located east of the Mississippi. Company headquarters, for example, along with many labs and plants, are located in and around Wilmington, Delaware, which is a pleasant residential area within easy reach of Washington, Philadelphia and New York. But there are also plants and laboratories in California, Iowa, Kansas and Texas, and plants in Colorado, Missouri and Washington.
Wherever you're assigned, you'll be proud of the DuPont Company both on and off the job. You'll find the people you work with friendly, stimulating, and active in the life of the community.
