Accelerated Plan
Becomes History
On June 3rd
With the close of the current
semester the College will discon
tinue the accelerated program of
offering three regular semesters
each calendar year.
Effective June 3, 1946, the Col
lege will revert to its pre-war pro
gram of offering two six-weeks
terms in the summer session and
two semesters in the regular ses
sion. With the return of this plan
the following policy will be in
effect:
(1) The summer session 1946 is
designed primarily for veterans
and priority in registration will be
given them.
(2) During the first term, non
veteran students now in College
may register in classes which have
not been completely filled with vet
erans. The second term of summer
session is planned specifically for
ex-service men.
(3) The fall semester will be the
regular time for non-veteran high
school graduates to enter. Those
who can qualify for admission
should enter on September 2, the
opening date of the first semester
of the 1946-47 session. Facilities
of the College will not permit ac
cepting them until that time.

Elect Bill Bender
Temporary Skipper
Bill Bender, former Marine cap
tain and pilot, was named Wed
nesday night as chairman of a
steering committee to organize a
new campus club, the Navy and
Marine Airmen’s Club. Also named
on the committee were John Swank,
Jim Walker, and C. C. Nathan, rep
resenting former navy pilots; F.
T. Williams and T. L. ““Lake” Er
win for the Marines.
The new club will be a social
organization, and its meetings
from time to time will give the
members a chance to break out
their salty lingo, which tends to
get barnacle-bottomed in this
Army stronghold. Although not of
ficially connected with the Navy
command, the group will serve as
a clearing house for information
concerning the Organized and Vol
unteer Naval Reserve.
Commander Holton and Lt. Col.
Keene from Dallas Naval Air Sta
tion explained to the group the
facts about the Reserve aviation
squadrons which will begin opera
tions in Dallas, July 1.
About fifty pilots were present
at the meeting, plus a group of
former enlisted men who had been
combat aircrewmen or members of
ground crews. The club is open to
all who served in any branch of
Naval or Marine aviation.
