Army takes only 'best' for air corps training course Flying Major, here for interviews, says 50 per cent of applicants fail on eye examinations Defective sight is the factor that causes most students to fail to pass the physical examination giv en to flying cadets, according to Maj. Robert T. Cronau of the United States Array Air corps. The army official is at the uni versity this week interviewing stu dents who are interested in mili tary flying instructions. "About 50 percent of the appli cants we examine fail because of faulty vision; about 40 percent are ineligible due to heart ailments, and the rest because of miscellane ous disorders," said Major Cronau. Over three-fourths of the appli cants over the country are dis qualified because of physical ail ments. However, Major Cronau said that this fact should not dis courage students from applying, for many who appear to have the proper physical qualifications do not measure up as well as others who seem to have less chance. Students must pass examinations Any student with two or more years of college training who have passed the physical and mental examinations are eligible for en trance to one of the U. S. Army flying schools. The new flying cadet is given 12 weeks' training at one of the civilian primary flying schools, from where he is transfered to Randolph field for another 12 weeks time, going from there to spend a similar amount of time at Kelly field. By the end of this period each cadet has been in the air approximately 210 hours. After completion of the 36 weeks' training period, the stu dent is commissioned in the Re serve Army Air corps as a second lieutenant. During this period, he may take the examination for an active commission in the United States Air corps. Cadets, while still in training, receive their board, room, medical care and 75 dollars a month. Engineers fake social studies Carnegie Tech plans to enlarge curriculum PITTSBURGH, Pa. (ACP). En gineers will no longer be unsocial, uncivil and narrow as they have often been called if a plan being worked out by Carnegie Institute of Technology leaders is success ful. Sixteen selected students of the Institute are now spending a fourth of their time in a program which will ultimately require every student there to study the social sciences as well as technical en gineering. Dr. Robert E. Doherty, president of Carnegie Tech, believes that the complexities of modern life need professional men who can, first of all, grapple intelligently with Intri cate social problems. "Engineers who understand tech nology," Dr. Doherty says "must give more thought to the social consequences of their sciences. En gineering adds fuel to the technol ogical flames that illuminate and warm the whole social community with professional comfort and con venience, but apparently it has not occurred to the profession that the flame, tho beautiful and interest ing, may yet consume us." The course now being tested will give students: A clear historical understanding of the parallel growths of science and engineer ing, on the one hand, and social customs, relations and institutions on the other. In other words, a his torical perspective of social evolu tion, especially since the invention of the machine.

Spring dance weekend at Wes leyan university cost students $190 an hour for the 48 hours. Syracuse uses 'model7 system 3 branches compose student government SYRACUSE, N. Y. (ACP). Syracuse University students are learning the inner workings of governmental agencies by operat ing a "model" government of their own which rules over affairs on their own campus. Now in its second year, Syra cuse s student government ror men consists of an executive branch, headed by the president elected by student body in the spring; an administrative branch, headed by an administrator chosen on a civil service basis, and a rep resentative assembly, composed of 123 representatives elected from campus districts. "This government was designed to meet the three principal defects found in student government, namely, lack of representative character, lack of continuity of personnel, and lack of training for real government," said A. Blair Knapp, director of the Coun cil of Men's Affairs, in comment ing on the progress of the new plan thus far. Described by Mr. Knapp as the "scrimmage field of citizenship education," the system brings situations faced in real life within the experience and knowledge of participating students. There is a real challenge to the student to solve such problems, Mr. Knapp believes, because, as the govern ment grows in efficiency, the more authority will be granted by the university.
