It Does Everything But Talk
If you have taken speech you may remember the timing cards which told you when your time was up. Speakers using the podium in Hoch Auditorium also are warned when their time is up by a red light which goes on, on the podium.
The podium, which was used by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy during the convocation Monday, was made by the International Business Machines Company. It has a clock which may be pre-set so that the red light will turn on when the speaker has reached the end of his allotted time.
Made of mahogany and walnut, the podium has six outlets. Two, one on either side, are for the loud speaking system in the auditorium. The other four, located in the center back of the podium may be used for radio or television broadcasts.
Three controls allow the podium top to be raised, lowered, or the angle changed. If any changes in position are needed during a program they may be made by remote control from backstage.
Flying Licenses Sought By 30
The flight training program of the Air Force ROTC unit will begin its second year of operation within a few days.
At least 30 AFROTC cadets are expected to enroll in the program which will earn them a private flying license upon completion. Thirty hours of ground instruction and $ 30^{1 / 2} $ hours of flight instruction are included in the course.
The CAA directs the whole operation which is financially supported by the Air Force. A 65 horsepower Aeronca is the aircraft used for the training.
The flight instruction is broken down into 18 hours dual instruction, 17 hours solo flight and a $ \mathrm{l} _{1 / 2} $ hour civil Aeronautics Assn. examination.

An examination over the ground course is a prerequisite to flying. No college credit is given for the course, but much of the material covered in the ground course is a part of usual ROTC class instruction.
The program is a means of motivating more cadets to an Air Force career and permit an early screening of each cadet's aptitude for flying. Those enrolled in the course are scheduled to enter naval flight training after they report to active duty.
