Formation of a Cornhusker
squadron of the navy air corps
will be possible if enough men
apply when pictures showing the
Jkature of V-5, the naval aviation
program, are presented to stu
dents in social sciences auditorium
Monday, April 27, from 5 to 6
p. m.
The two pictures, "Eyes of the
Navy" and "Sailors with Wings"
will be shown to the group, after
which talks will explain in detail
the program of naval aviation. The
following day. Lieut. V. F. Hali-
burton will be at Nebraska hall
all day to interview and examine
candidates for the course.
If sufficient interest among the
student body is shown a "Cornhus
ker squadron" will be organized
next fall for physical and prelimi
nary flight training. College jun
iors and seniors, after enlistment
in Class V-5, it was learned, may
be deferred from call to active
duty until completion of their cur
rent college year, if they so re
quest. Thereafter they will be as
signed to active training duty in
the earliest class in which they
can be accommodated.
Reason for this new course in
because the navy department de
sires men for flight training as
aviation cadets, leading to appoint
ment as commissioned officers in
the United States naval reserve.
The period of training requires
normally about 12 months at a
naval flight training center, after
which the successful student is
commissioned as ensign, naval re
serve, and sent on active duty in
the aeronautic organization of the
U. S. navy.
