OutSfe UN Training Program
For Air Creiv 'Processing'
"Military Reservation No Ad-i
mittance."
So said the signs which were
posted on the grounds around the
new Don L, Love Memorial library
on the campus last week. The
army had moved in.
And as the detachment of youth
ful soldiers activated the new
library building, the university
assumed its new role as a full
fledged home and training base
of members of Uncle Sam's armed
forces.
The training unit is officially
labeled the College Training De
tachment (Air Crew) and out of
its "processing" assembly will
come men physically toughened
into the rigorous army life routine
and mentally "grooved" to pursue
still further training in advanced
training posts to become air force
pilots, bombardiers, navigators,
etc.
Call College Men.
Many of the men stationed at
the UN training unit are cx-college
men, called from their leisurely
college life within the past month
or so to start their air force train
ing. It is something of a break
for them to be stationed at the
university.
Training of the men on the U
of N campus strictly is a joint
project of the government and the
university. The U. S. army has
provided military personnel to
handle the administrative duties
and "boss" the outfit, and the uni
versity faculty has come forth to
fill in the gaps as instructors in
army courses.
The soldiers likely will find that
their training will not be far dif
ferent from a college course In
tensified to the "nth" degree. For
they'll get academic instruction

x. uorura patriotism for
America is expressed at every
concert as he sings Malotte's
"Pledge of Allegiance." The num
ber was composed by Albert Hay
Malotte, a close friend of Gorin,
after he had heard Gorin recite
the pledge of allegiance at na
turalization ceremonies. The fer
vor with which he spoke the fa
miliar phrases set fire to Ma
lotte's imagination, and the song
was the result.

UN Aids Program.
The university has more than
gone "all out" to provide a train-,
ing unit for the services. It started
by first reserving the new library,
which was completed in Decem
ber, for conteoplated army hous
ing. Then it lined up a corps of
university faculty men to teach
academic courses. Finally it turned
over a section of the Student
Union building for dining facili
ties for the air force detachment.
Dr. Charles H. Oldfather, dean
of the college of arts and sciences
at the university, is in charge of
the academic program of the unit.
The trainees will receive instruc
tion in mechanics, physics, mathe
matics, geography, etc., and physi
cal education development by uni
versity faculty members.
Commandant of the new train
ing unit is Capt William A. Whit
ing, who transferred from Coe col
lege, Iowa, to assume command.
He has a staff of officers, as fol

S O'CLOCK
. . . Classes
After seven months of hiberna
tion, "eight o'clocks" will once
again stare sleepy-eyed students
tomorrow morning, as the univer
sity goes back to its pre-war
schedule, at the request of the
Training Detachment.
The university's present class
schedule, which was inaugurated
last fall to alleviate transportation
difficulties was found to be one
of the first conflicting elements
when coordinating the training
program with that of the univer
sity. The schedule for college
training programs all over the
country calls for classes begin
ning on the hour instead of on the
half hour.
When army officials discovered
Nebraska classes began on the
half hour, they requested that they
be changed since it would be im
possible for the army to change
their schedule.
As the army goes, so goes the
university.

Also on the administrative staff
is a cadre of enlisted men.
Rise at Six.
The soldiers are roused from
bed at six o'clock. Assembly is at
6:10, reveille at 6:12. They break
fast at 6:35. have dinner at 1
o'clock, supper at 6 p. m The day
closes at 10:30, when "taps" are
sounded. Meanwhile during the
day the soldiers have been kept
busy practically the entire time.
When the trainees were first
moved into the new unit they were
given classification tests to deter
mine how much training they
would be subjected to before being
"processed." In this manner there
is likely to be little duplication of
work for trainees who have taken
similar courses previously in col
lege. For the group which has had
the least college work, the length
of time they will be stationed at
the U of N unit will probably be
about five months.

Duncan Speaks.
Brig. Gen. Duncan, the guest
speaker, was introduced to the au

topic was "Air Power," which he
termed as the "key to victory."
"Air power alone will not win the
war," he spited, "but wiuiout air
power we will lose the war.
He went on to explain what
part air power has played so far
in the war and predicted the part
it is to play in the future. Air
planes that people have never
dreamed possible to be built are
now in the process of manufac
ture. "When these planes start
coming and never stop coming,
we will begin to win the war. We

sketch of what the college train
ing: detachment officers did before
becoming air corps men.
