College Station (Brazos County), Texas PAGE 2 Friday, September 28, 1956 Officials Coming Continued from Page 1) Roeber, business manager of the college, traveled to Maxwell AFB, Ala., to look into the plan more fully. Air Force students will 1’eceive 35 houx s of ground school training in the advanced air sicence classes and then will have 35 hours of dual control and solo training in the ail’. After completing the program and passing a written exam given under the auspices of the CAA, each student will receive his priv ate flying license. One stipulation for Air Force students is that only senior cate gory I (pilot) contract students are eligible for the program. It appeal's that the program could save the Air Fii’ce some of the money that is spent on train ing pilots and there is a possibility that it would cut down the pilot training progxam in the Air Force by four months. However, the only Air Foi'ce connection with the pro- gram as it will be, is that the AF is paying for the training. Requirements for the program include the fact that planes used in the pi'ogi'am must not be less than 65 nor more than 200 horse power. At Other Schools TUNING & REPAIR GRAY PIANO CO. 314 N.

Marion Pugh Lumber Co. Old Wellborn Road VI 6-5711 LIFE INSURANCE FOR PILOTS And All Other Flying Personnel Undei’ a new Fedei'al law, there is no more Government life insurance for pei'sons entering the Armed Foi'ces after January 1, 1957. Neither on a free nor a pay-for basis. . . . Many insurance companies will insure military ground forces at stan- dax'd x'ates—so will we. There has been a rather universal rule, though, that fliers have to pay considerably moi'e for their life insui'ance than do the sti'ictly mundane ci'eatui’es who keep their feet on terxa firma. One of the reliable life insurance compan ies which I represent has found, based on sevei'al yeai'S of ex- pei'ience with all types of military personnel, however, that it can insure pilots and student pilots at standard rates and still make a profit for its stockholders. The company does make this x’eservation—since militai'y flying is recognized in insui'ance cix- cles as being an extx-a hazard, and particularly so during the tx-aining pei'iod: If the insured pilot is killed in an aircraft accident befox-e his age 26, then the amount payable to his bene- ficiaxy is only one-half the face amount of the policy. If killed after age 26, the policy pays, off in full. . . . All flying personnel, other than pilots, are insured at standard premium x-ates, with full payment in event of death at any age any cause (excepting suicide in the first two yeai's). . . . With flight training now for ROTC students at A&M, we know that many of them will want life insui'ance that will cover them throughout their flying career. They can buy the very low premium Ordinary Life, or 20 Pay Life, or other plans through my office at standard pre mium x’ates, and make their premium payments out of their ROTC Contract checks every three months. ITemiums run as low as $3.00 per month, depending on how much insurance the student wishes to have—and can afford. . . . Call EUGENE RUSH at VI 6-6006 or VI 6-5656 for an appointment to talk the matter over, or come by his office above A&M Photo Shop at the Noith Gate, College. No obligation to buy.

University of Texas After a man-sized job of registration, the teasips settled down to getting x'eady for the USC game. The first order was to have a pep rally. (Ooo-aah) In an article in the Daily Texan the students were urged to come out and show their 1956 Lung Power. It seems that the ’Sips weren’t satisfied with their former yelling and are trying out a new model. Baylor Jim Newton, writing in the Baylor Lariat, says that registration at Baylor made him x'ecall the story of the young skunk who was captured from the foi’est and taken to a veterinarian. Aftei' a bi’ief period on the operating table he sold the little pole-kitty to a small girl as a pet. Not long afterwards the skunk ran into one of his free, nature- loving skunk friends and said, “The pi'ice for civilization just isn’t woi'th it. I haven’t got a scent to my name.” Maybe the skunk didn’t have a scent to his naxxxe, but the joke cei’tainly absorbed some of it. TSCW A Daily Lass-0 editorial says that TSCW is a busy campus. Its students are known for their talents and energies. They give their time to these special interest oi’ganizations and many others and ai’e paid in riches finer than gold or diplomas. They are spending their time enjoying themselves and eni'iching their school. Most Aggies will agxee with these woi’ds of wisdom. We are truly proud of our sister school and her numerous talents and energies.

Instead of adding moi'e shrubs and lawns and putting its efforts to lawn trimming and shi'ub prun ing, the depai'tment has its hands full of watering jobs. As umelated as it may seem the department contributes • to the health of a large group on the campus, the Fighting Texas Aggie Band. “Two yeai’s ago we sodded the band pi'actice field,” MacQueen says. “Until that time the band membei’s were plagued with colds and respiratory ti'ouble. Many people suspected that dust had an effect in bringing this problem about.” The department spent a lot of effort during the summer t taining the pi’actice field had it in pi’etty good shapes start of the fall session. Queen said. “What we are interested making this campus the beautiful one in the South: MacQueen says.
