OFFICERS FOR the student
chapter, AIEE, were elected re
cently. Named for the coming
school year were John Muller,
president; Danny Bragg, vice-

surer; Paul Streetman and Gail
Ross, reporters.
Cuts in armed forces expendi
tures will tighten even more the
already limited number of Air
Force contracts for members of
the sophomore class, according to
Col. John A. Way, PAS&T.
“Any figures we may have men
tioned before concerning category
quotas are meaningless in view of
this new information,” Way said.
Previously, quotas were tenta
tively set for the four categories
of. AFROTC contracts.
In Category I were those phy
sically qualified for flight training,
in Category II, students in a tech
nical field of study; Category III
consisted of cadets not in a tech
nical field and physically unquali
fied for flight training. Category
IV was made up of veterans who
could take the training but did
not need to go on active duty.
All contracts applied for will
be tentative until September reg
istration, Way said. There is a
possibility that even the aircrew
contract quota may be cut be
cause the Air Force is thinking of
cutting its 143-group proposed
strength to 113 groups.
Concerning sophomore aptitude
tests, it is likely that no more
will be given, Way said. No more
of the series of tests have been
received by the Air Force detach
ment here, he said, and the semes
ter is nearly finished.
