By Ray Treadwell
Applicants for the new aero
nautic course to be started at A.
& M. November 15 are being in
terviewed this week, according to
an announcement made Tuesday
by Gibb Gilchrist, head of the
School of Engineering.
Ground school classes in the
course will start November 15 in
the Mechanical Engineering build
ing with W. I. Truettner, mechan
ical engineering professor, in
charge of the course. Mr. Truett
ner has already been qualified by
the Civil Aeronautical Authorities
as an instructor in the ground
school. Classes will begin as soon
as the airplane motors and other
pieces of equipment necessary for
the course are delivered to A. &
M. P. R. Higgins, mechanical en
gineering instructor, will aid in
ground school instructions.
Preliminary medical examina
tions of applicants for the course
will start Thursday at the Col
lege Hospital. If a student passes
this test given by Dr. Marsh he
will be sent to Bryan where he will
be given a thorough physical ex
amination by a doctor appointed
for that purpose by the C. A. A.
Cadets that pass both physical
examinations will then be eligible
for both the ground school course
and the actual flying course which
will start January 15 at the 50(L
acre college airport to be located
just west of Lake Shinola. It will
not be necessary to start actual
flying before that time as an ex
tensive ground school training is
required by the C. A. A. before a
student is allowed to fly. Trans
portation to and from the flying
field for cadets will be furnished
by the college.
Planes for the flying course will
be furnished by an operator to be
designated by the C. A. A. The
field operator will be allowed $290
per student by the government for
the actual cost of the flying time,.,
and $40 required of students tak
ing the course being used for medi
cal examinations and insurance.
According to Dean Gilchrist, all
planes used in the training will be
new ships and in all probability
the flying instructors will be grad
uates of Kelly Field or other well-
known flying fields.
Any student taking the flying
course must be not less than 64
inches nor more than 78 inches in
height; must weigh not less than
115 pounds. Weight must be in
Appointment of NYA
Field Man Announced
Appointment of J. Palmer Boggs,
of Washington, D. C., as field engi
neer of the National Youth Ad
ministration, was announced today
by N. Y. A. administrator Aubrey
Williams.
Boggs’ headquarters will be in
the Denver Colorado, field office,
from which point he will work
with the field representatives and
the state youth administrators
throughout the territory west of
the Mississippi River, in maintain
ing high standards of design and
sound methods in construction and
other N. Y. A. work projects.
A native of Oklahoma, Boggs at- L
tended, after public schools in sev
eral western states, Colorado Col
lege, the University of Arizona,
and Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. He was graduated
from the latter as an architectur
al engineer.
Pre-registration officials at
Syracuse didn’t interpret it the
right way, and had “her” all as
signed early in the summer to a
room in the women’s dormitory
with feminine roommate and all.

proportion to height, according to
government standards. In addi
tion, the student is required to see
20/20 with each eye uncorrected,
and be able to pass color tests.
In hearing he must be able to hear
the whispered voice at 20 feet
with each ear separately. A blood
pressure of not over 140 milli
meters or below 100 millimeters
is required. Any presence of
hernia, nephritis, diabetes, or tu
berculosis and any history of en
cephalitis, syphilis, asthma, kidney
stone, or epilepsy will also serve
to disqualify.
Although only 40 students will
be allowed to take the government-
paid flying training, Dean Gilchrist
announced that a limited number
of other students would be allowed
to take the flight training if they
could meet all C. A. A. require
ments and pay the full cost of
the flying instruction. In addition,
he stated, there will be room
enough for a number of students'
to take only the ground course and
not sign up for flying time. Stu
dents who sign up for just the
ground school course will in all
probability be allowed to take
flight training later, if they so
desire and if they are able to
pass the physical requirements.
Norton Urges All
Seniors To Make
Trip To Arkansas
Three teams will be playing in
Fayetteville Saturday, according to
Head Coach Homer Norton, who
spoke to the senior class meeting
Tuesday night in Guion Hall. The
Aggies are one team, the
Arkansas Razorbacks are another,
and the third will be the team
headed by a quarterback named
“Psychology.” This third team
might be the one that could cause
the downfall of Aggieland’s hither
to undefeated eleven, said Norton.
For this reason, the Aggie team
will need the support of every man
who can make the trip, genial
Homer continued. He urged that
all seniors and anyone else who
found it at all possible to do so
should go along and help the team
over its seventh hill.
Norton’s plea was seconded by
Max McCullar, senior class presi
dent, and Charlie DeWare and Vir
gil Jones, former Aggie grid
greats and at present members of
the coaching staff at A. & M.
McCullar also urged all organ
izations commanders to take up
contributions from their outfits to
supplement the funds already do
nated for the purpose of sending
the band to Arkansas to support
the team.
“THE VARSITY BARBER
Shop” was the winning name sub
mitted by Tommy Vaughn and
Robert Woods, both of “L” Infan-
try, in the recent naming contest
sponsored by D. E. Craddock, to
name the barber shop in the new
“Y.” Woods and Vaughn each
won $5.00 in trade in reward for
the name. Much interest was
shown in the contest and a large
number of entries were submitted.
