Commercial Aviation's Has Humor, Tragedy,
Commercial aviation came to life last night as its history and future were highlighted with color slides and humorous vignettes.
David Kohlman, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, spoke on the development of commercial aviation in a lecture sponsored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
"The feats of the early pioneers brought both humor and tragedy into the history of aviation." Kohlman said. He illustrated his point with some slides of early attempts by man to fly.
CRC Petition To Go Before ASC Tuesday
The Civil Rights Council, last night, collected the petitions they had been circulating to the various living groups here on the hill.
The petitions were in support of the amendment to the Human Rights Bill. The amendment condemns discrimination in the living groups here at KU.
CRC will have tryouts for a play they plan to present for the students. The name of the play is "In a White America" by Martin Duberman.
Tom Coffman, Lyndon senior and CRC president, said the signatures haven't been counted as yet. He said the petition would be presented at the next meeting of the All Student Council. Tuesday.
Tryouts will be at 7 p.m. today in the Wesley Center auditorium. The play has six parts, including three Negro parts for two men and a woman, three white roles for two men and a woman, and a part for a male guitar player.
The play is a series of collected readings from a collection of articles and documents. It deals with the history of the Negro race in America from the slave trades to the Little Rock, Ark., high school integration.

KOHLMAN NOTED that, although countries in Europe subsidized early attempts to establish national airlines, aviation in America was merely a novelty until after World War I.
"In 1918," Kohlman noted, "the first air mail flight was made." The plan called for the plane to travel from Washington, D.C., to New York, via Philadelphia.
"The pilot took off and promptly seaded south," Kohlman said. "Heinally landed in southern Maryland and the mail was delivered by train."
Early attempts at commercial aviation were quite hazardous, Kohlman explained. The run over the Allegheny mountains was considered a suicide run only to be attempted by the most desperate pilots.
KOHLMAN SAID that the rea beginning of American commercia. aviation was the passage of the Cully Bill in 1925. This bill provided for air mail subsidies that made commercial attempts economically feasible.
Kohlman went on to trace the development of larger and better planes to carry the mail. Later, there were even developments in aviation to accommodate the growing flow of
History Prof.Says
passengers. This growth continued up into the 1930's.
In 1935, Kohlman noted, Douglas introduced, at the request of their customers, the "legendary" DC-3. It proved to be a real workhorse of a plane and was one of the most popular planes ever built.
"Today there are more DC-3's flying in commercial aviation than any other plane," Kohlman said.
FROM THE TIME of the introduction of the DC-3, Douglas led the commercial aviation field. They subsequently put into production their DC-4, DC-6, and the DC-7.
Boeing then stepped into the picture, Kohlman noted, with the introduction of their first jetliner, the 707. It was followed last year by the 727 medium range jetliner. Douglas introduced their DC-8 to compete with the 707 and plans to produce a DC-9 in the next few years to rival the 727.
"THE NEXT REVOLUTION in air travel is the supersonic transports," Kohlman said. There is a great untapped source of passenger travel when rates are lower.
There is also great growth in air freight, Kohlman said. This, too, will be a major part in the future of commercial aviation.
