Army Flight
Program Still
Has Openings
Major IT. A. Lowe Jr., instructor
in the Department of Military
Science and Tactics, announced
that all students desiring to sign
up for the Army ROTC Flight
Training Program next year
should contact him at his office
immediately.
Lowe said that he was especial
ly anxious to talk to any seniors
who have already completed sen
ior military science and ROTC
summer camp, but will, return to
school next year. It is necessary
that these students complete phy
sical exams and mental aptitude
tests before registering next fall,
Lowe said. Juniors who will be
attending summer camp this sum
mer can complete their physical
and mental exams at this time.
"At present,” Lowe announced,
“there are 75 applicants for next
years’ program. We hope to have
our quota raised as a result.”
Old Army’s Gone All Over,
VPI Gives First Coed Bars)
By BILL REED
Battalion News Editor
A pretty, blue-eyed coed cadet
at Vh’ginia Polytechnic Institute,
Blackbm-g, has established
two “firsts” for the Corps of Ca
dets during her four-year college
career.
Miss Patricia Ann Miller of
Richmond, Va., will be wearing the
first size 14 uniform in VPI’s mil
itary history, and will also be the
first girl ever to be commissioned
a second lieutenant at a Tech grad
uation. She will receive her gold
bars at the commissioning cere
mony June 6.
Pat, a 21-year-old, 5-7 senior,
became famous as a freshman,
causing quite a stir in the ROTC
Department when .she requested
military science along with her
other courses.
The Virginia Tech, VPI’s stu
dent newspaper, wrote:
“Fitting her into the classroom
program was no problem, but
there was considerable question as
to whether Pat would don trousers
to go to drill, or whether the
whole Cadet Corps would wear
skirts. The problem was solved
very nicely by allowing Pat to
miss the drill phase of the course
entirely.”
Upon graduation Pat will come
to Texas. She will enter the Army
Medical Specialists Corps, one of
three branches which gives direct
commissions. She will eventually
become an Army dietitian after a
year of dietetic internship at Fort
Sam Houston, where she will take
her basic officer’s training.
Military life is nothing new to
the pretty blonde cadet. Her fath
er, Lt. Col. Raymond O. Miller, a
’39 graduate of VPI, is a regular
Army man from way back. Pat
will be joining the ranks of a long
chain of military relatives.
She has lived on countless mili
tary posts in 45 states and 3 for
eign countries. Just to show how
much she has moved around dur
ing her father’s career, she recalls
changing schools six times while
in the first grade.
“I have been in the Army all
my life and didn’t want to leave
it,” Pat said.
She chose Tech for two reasons:
Its military aplomb and its cour
ses in home economics. Being an
authority on parade ground activ
ities, she believes the Tech Corps
“is one of the finest in the coun
try.”
Her classmates in the Tech wo
man’s dorm don’t rib her about her
career.
“As a matter of fact, they’re all
excited about it—I’m very proud
of my classmates,” she said.
Col. Edgar H. Thompson Jr.,
professor of military science and
tactics at Tech, believes Pat will
make an exceptionally good offi
cer.
“She likes what she has picked
for a career,” he stated.
The colonel isn’t sure just how
Pat’s commission will be presented.
“But we will not give her a com
mission via the back door,” he as
sured.
Present qualifications for en
tering the program include com
pletion of or present enrollment in
senior military science, recom
mendation by the dean of the stu
dent’s school, passing a flight phy
sical and Army flight aptitude
tests and agreement to serve on
active duty for three years.
The program consists of 35
hours of ground school and 3614
hours of flight instruction, Lowe
said. Upon completion, the student
may qualify for a civilian pilot’s
license or be recommended . for
Army aviation training when he
goes on active duty.
