When the program is completed, there will be 300 airmen doing their eight hours of study on the university campus and in its hangars and shops. Highlands university, located at Las Vegas. New Mexico, is the third in size of the state supported institutions of higher learning in New Mexico, with a normal enrollment of about 1500 students. Two of the reasons that the program was placed here are: Highlands maintains a C.A.A. approved airplane and engine mechanics program on a junior college basis, and there is a large former National Guard camp three miles from the campus that had been taken over by the university for veterans and their housing. The camp could absorb many more than the 300 in the present program.
