Army Aviation
Quizzes Hard
Course Gives Lieutenant
Rating; Two Years of
College Needed
Activity of the aviation “bug”
on the campus and the resulting in
terest of students here in all forms
of flying training, especially in that
furnished by the government to
those enlisting in the air corps, has
been the cause of no little extra
i 'work on the part of Colonel W. S.
Sinclair, commander of tho local
B. O. T. C. unit, he informs the
Emerald. Cilriosity regarding de
tails of enlistment in the corps by
interested students has resulted in
much time spent in answering ques
tions.
A late copy of the pamphlet en
titled “Flying Cadets of the Air
Corps,” has been received from the
government printing office by the
colonel, giving army service infor
mation.
Two schools, Brooks field, San
Antonio, Texas, and March field,
Riverside, California, are maintained
by the regular army air corps to
give the eight months primary fly
ing instruction necessary in the
one year enlistment. On completion
of the primary course, the cadets
are transferred to the advanced fly
ing school, Kelly field, San Antonio,
for the remaining four months.
Lieutenancy Available
The primary course consists of ap
proximately 75 hours in the air
^ with instruction in. air maneuvers,
engine mechanics, navigation, ma
chine guns, radio, and other subjects.
Training with larger planes and ad
vanced instruction feature the other
four months. When the student
completes his year, he has approxi
mately 250 hours to his credit and
commission as second lieutenant in
the air corps reserve.
Courses begin July 1, November
1, and March 1 of each year.
After applying to the war de
partment for appointment, the ap
plicant must pass three different ex
arnktatians,. - lm®."for their
difficult The mental examination
is equal to the average first two
years in a college or university. The
physical requirement is much higher
than that for enlistment in the reg
ular army service, while the psy
chological test is of a kind to show
necessary flying characteristics —
good orientation in all positions,
good reactions to certain stimuli,
correct personal adjustment.
Appointments Neoeesary
Appointments are made from en
listed men of the regular army,
members of the National Guard air
corps, members and graduates of
R. O. T. C. units, and civilians. Can
didates must be unmarried eitizens
between the ages of 20 and 27. The
pay of a flying cadet.is $75 a month,
from which is deducted $1 a day
for rations. All expenses to and
from the examination stations and
the fields are paid by the govern
ment. The nearest station giving
examinations is at Vancouver, Wash
ington.
The government also conducts a
school in balloon and airship train
ing at Scott field, Belleville, Illi
nois.
Many applicants for enlistment
have failed to get in the air corps
because of inability to pass the
strict examinations, Colonel Sinclair
declares. About 75 per cent fail
in one of the three examinations.
These requirements have built up a
standard in the corps which makes
its cadets the cream of the coun
f try's enlisted men.

Spring Brightens Up Employment
Situation for Masculine Element
The outlook for the student em
ployment situation for men, which
was rather dull and limited during
the winter term, shows signs of
brightening up a bit at present. Al
ready, on nice days during vacation
and the first school days of this
week, the men’s employment bureau
at the Y. M. C. A. hut in charge of
Mrs. Charlotte Donnelly, have re
ceived many requests for studont
help. The rush of these spring jobs
does not indicate an overplus of
employment beyond the number of
men available, but is due to inability
of the bureau to get in touch with
students desiring work.
All men desiring part time work
of any kind during the term should
file time schedules and kind of work
desired on one of the form cards in
Mrs. Donnelly’s office. It is only
in this way that Mrs. Donnelly is
able to efficiently aid her clients,
both students and employers. Stu
dents who were registered last term
are requested to re-register with the
employment bureau, as a new file is
being completed.
Winter Earnings Increase
During the winter term 138 men
secured regular jobs through the
bureau. The earnings of these stu
dents totaled $14,736. The earnings
of students doing odd jobs totaled
approximately $1,000. The total
earnings, $15,736, was an increase
of $475 over the earnings of the
winter term of 1927. This increase,
added to the increase of $551 in
wages for students working during
the fall term over the fall term of
last year makes a total of $1,026 in
crease in the earnings of this year’s
men students over the earnings of
last year’s group.
This increase in volume of earn
ings is due to a greater number of
student workers than last year.
Jobs have been unusually scarce this
year, and especially so during the
winter term, thero being several stu
dents who were compelled to drop
out of the University because of
failure to find employment. With
the increase in number of students,
it is increasingly difficult to find
employment for all. Only through a
carefully indexed system of student
workers can the bureau hope to find
a man for all of the jobs.
Many Places Pilled
There have been quite a number
of calls on the bureau this week
for student waiters and kitchen
helpers. These openings aro usually
filled early in the term and students
desiring this sort of work should
apply early. As soon as the wea
ther clears a bit there will bo a
flood of agreeable work at garden
ing and upkeep of grounds, it is
anticipated by the bureau. Very
few clerking jobs are on file.
Yocom Writes Paper
On Thyroids of Mice
Differences in thyroid in two dif
ferent species of mice and their
probable influence on the structure
of the animals is the subject of a
paper written by Dr. Harry B.
Yocom, of the zoology department,
on “Historical Differences in the
Thyroid Glands from Two Sub
species , of Peromyscus Manieula
tus. ’ ’
The thyroid gland of a mouse
from eastern Oregon, where the alti
ture is very high and the climate
dry, was- found by Dr. Yocom to be1
more active than that of one from
the coast where there is much mois
ture. The same difference was
noticed after they had been kept
in the laboratory for a month and
fed the same food. It appears from
this that there might be inherited
differences between the two vari
eties of mice, he stated.
This is merely a preliminary paper
that Pr. Yocom has written, and
he expects to continue his investi
gations next year. At that time he
will prepare the material in the
field and will make further tests
to find out whether structural dif
ferences in the ductless glands
which might account for various
differences in the animals.

The worst thing in the world to try

well within the reach of everybody
and at the same time does not tasto

I have been smoking a pipe for twe

at first you don’t succeed, try, try
again. Believe me, I tried for two years,
but finally success is more than mine.
• I have just been looking around,
and have found to my delight that I
can get Edgeworth practically any
where. I even found it out at the lake
near Dallas where I go fishing. Oh boy,
what a combination—a perfect day, a
can of good tobacco, and your pipe.
I always thought these ad letters
were the bunk, but this time I know
jomebody is wrong and that is me.
