Examiners to see all
applicants Dec. 16
A special flying cadet examin
ing board will visit the university
on Dec. 16 to conduct physical ex
aminations of senior students who
are interested in becoming army
flying cadets, according to Col.
C. A. Thuis, commandant of
cadets.
Altho the board is primarily
interested in students who will
graduate either in January or
June of 1941, it will examine
sophomore and junior men who
at the end of the present semes
ter will have earned one-half of
the necessary credits toward
graduation and v t plan to ter
minate enrollment in the univer
sity at the end of the present se
mester for any cause such as en
trance into selective military
service.
"It is not desirable, however, to
have students leave school ex
pressly for the purpose of becom
ing army fliers," stated Colonel
Thuis.
Students applying need not be
in the ROTC, and applications
will be considered of graduates
and former students who have left
school with a minimum of two
years college work. Applicants
who wish to receive the univer
sity's recommendation for service
should stand generally above the
average in their respective col
leges, Colonel Thuis stated.
Men interested are advised to
leave their names with the inili
tarv departments in Nebraska

books. In the reference room

books before construction of the
new building is completed.
The only thing that has librari

hungry students might try to beat
the mice to the cheese. So far
neither have tried anything,
anything. ' '
