The Texas A&M University En
gineering Extension Service and
Texas Aeronautics Commis-
^on are conducting a flight in-
ructor recertification and re-
esher course in Houston May 20-
$2.
The course is for certified flight
Ristructors seeking to renew their
i pertificates, commercial pilots
|vorking toward flight instructor
ratings and teachers of aeronautic
al subjects, Jim Noel, professor of
Engineering and coordinator of
the program, said.
■ The 24-hour course, which will
dbe held at the Ramada Inn located
:at 777 Airport Blvd., begins at 8
am. May 20 and continues
fthrough 5 p.m., May 22.
I A $30 registration fee can be
nt to the TAG. The course will
dude lectures, quizzes, panel
iscussions and handouts.
It is not necessary to preregis
ter, Noel said, but refund of regis
tration fees will only be made if
notification is received before
May 18.
The course was designed by the
TEES for certified flight instruc
tors to renew licenses that expire
every two years.
A certified flight instructor
whose license has not expired will
have his license revalidated by a
Federal Aviation Administration
officer at the end of the course.
If an instructor’s license has ex
pired, the pilot must pass a check
ride with an FAA officer in the air
before his license will be re
newed.
A certified flight instructor is
the only person who can perform
in-the-air flight instruction.
To become a certified flight in
structor one must first have 250
hours of flying as a commercial
pilot, Noel said.
After this, one must pass a
check ride with a general aviation
district officer from the FAA.
The check ride tests the pilot’s
ability to teach in the air and to
recover the plane if the student
gets into trouble.
A certified flight instructor
must learn to think and react
quickly, Noel said.
Instructors for the three-day re
fresher course include Bob Run
nels, professor of meteorology;
Richard Thomas, director of the
Center for Strategic Technology;

■ DALLAS — Texans generally
Braised President Reagan’s first
mbvised speech since last
Bionth’s attempt on his life, and
Home expressed support for the
Hconomic package the administra-
Roh hopes will end inflation.
I “Everybody realizes that we
lave to do something drastic,”
|aid Houston accountant Shirley
|rown in a poll taken after the
luesday night speech. “I’m will
ing to gamble on anything at this
loint; it couldn’t get much worse
t this point.
“His attitude seemed sincere;
e seemed to have a lot of faith in
is plan. He said it’s a long-range
lan and he isn’t promising any
iracles overnight, which I think
is?realistic attitude. It would be
ray difficult to turn the economy
around in a few months.
I “His comments about wanting
a large defense budget were pret
ty much expected. I’m real
meased to see he was suppq^tjpjg,
tliespaee program. I thipk h^ was rl
smart to support it. A lot of people
favorit. ”
; Texas Sen. John Tower said:
(The president has sounded an
Impressive rallying cry to the Con
gress for support of a program the
vast majority of our people want
-aprogram that will set us on the
ad to economic recovery.”
Another Texas congressman,
Tom Loeffler, said the American
people have “popped the whip.”
He said, “The president has set
Recourse and thrown us a perfect
loop. It is now up to Congress to
cut the slack out of the rope. I very
strongly support the bipartisan

Tom Taylor, professor of chemis
try and Noel. Taylor is a certified
flight instructor.
The TEES and the TAG have
been conducting these seminars
every two months for three years
in various Texas locations.
“We recertify 90 percent of the
flight instructors in Texas,” Noel
said.
Noel said these programs reach
1,200 to 1,500 pilots every two
years.
TEES initiated the course be
cause of the need to extend educa
tion to others outside the Univer
sity system, Noel said.
“Texas A&M is an aviation-
oriented school,” he said.
Texas A&M has the largest uni
versity-owned airport, an aeros
pace department, a flight mecha
nics lab and an industrial educa
tion class that teaches students
basic ground flight instruction.

budget resolution and will fight
any scheme that weakens our de
fense capability, increases our
spending and raises our taxes.”
But not everyone was won over
by the president’s genial manner.
Houstonian Joan Doerner had a
very different reaction to Reagan’s
speech.
“I think the whole thing was just
full of dull generalities. He kept
saying, “This is not a sick society,’”
she said. “If you have to keep
saying it, it’s probably sick. ”
Doerner also criticized his plans
to cut spending on social programs
and increase defense spending. “If
you start cutting down on money
that would go for health, educa
tion, welfare, food and jobs, this
society will get sicker,” she said.
“Violence will increase, and I
think that is a symptom that the
society is sick.
“I am for defense cuts, rather
than cutting on human needs.
Building up,defense usually leads
tp war.;’
She also disputed Reagan’s
statement that stimulating Amer
ican businesses would increase
jobs.
“He kind of implied that more
money means more jobs and it
doesn’t. It usually means more
machines,” she said.
“I always think of Rome when I
see Reagan, because this country’s
sort of on the decline like Rome
was. He’s sort of a Nero figure to
me. He’s like the Roman emper
ors who didn’t recognize the prob
lems of Rome. I think we’re like
Rome, we’re just coming apart at
the seams.”
