DAILY NEBRASKAN Wednesday, November 11, 1942 4 Sc oae t j BY MARYLOUISE GOODWIN. As we peer out the window and see the sky clouding up and the promise of rain, the first thought that pops into our minds is of those two blundering radio Bcreechers Blessings on thee, lit tle drips. If the Alpha Phis seem to be putting on a little weight blame it onto all of the candy they've had in the last three weeks. This week the offering was made by Lois Christie. She and pinmate Bob Hyde finally came across after Al pha Sig brothers had tubbed Bob often enough to make him see the light. Fircchief. It took Leonard "Firechief" Fin nigan a long time to get his gol den DU but it didn't take him long to get lid of it. Mary Walters of the dorm is the girl who now wears the pin. . . Somebody was a little confused when they figured out that Theta pledge Barb Schla ter was going steauy with Emer son Jones. Sig Chi. Barb had one date with him last week-end all of which doesn't spell steady. The Taus and the Fijis are tus sling again. . . The Phi Gam's springier system on the second floor dorm is in fine shape, espe cially when the ATO engineers turn it on, just ask any Fiji; if he can get an answer in between sneezes, he'll tell you about it. Pledges. The ZBT pledges left the actives without silverware Monday night, but they spent the rest of the night untieing and untangling their clothes which the big boys tied together and strung all over the house. Dorothy Statts is now wearing a Delt pledge pin. It seems that King Spittler told her that before wearing an active pin everyone must wear a pledge pin and so Dorothy is doing so.

Students attending the Univer sity of Nebraska may not know it, but located a scant few miles from their campus lies another great school. Geared to the tempo of war, the Army Air Force's Tech nical school at Lincoln, is a vast training center from which are graduated thousands of technic ians who literally are the men who "keep 'em flying." In many respects the Air Force's Technical school is similar to the university. It has its fraternities, they are called squadrons. Com petition between these Air Force fraternities is as keen as the rivalry between greek letter organizations. The technical school has its equiv alent of a faculty. The president is known as the Commanding Of ficer of the Air Base. The chan cellor is termed the Director of Technical Training. Numerous in structors, a huge sports arena, and various study halls give the Air Base the atmosphere of a great university. Curriculum offered is one sub ject. Airplane Mechanics. Al though the curriculum is singular, the course is multiphased. Theory, maintenance and operation of the Army Air Force's best the world warplanes are the objectives of the course. The student soldier is first taught the fundamentals of air craft mechanics, then goes into more complicated phases, such as structures, hydraulics, electrical installations, instruments, propel lors and engines. It takes nineteen weeks to train an airplane mechanic. Upon grad uation he is given his degree, the Air Force's AM. The soldier-mechanic is then qualified to repair and maintain military aircraft, whether they be the rapierlike pur suit plane, or the giant Flying Fortress that is blasting away the life blood of the enemy war ma chine. The motto of these men and theii command, "Sustineo Alas," translated from the Latin means, "Sustain the wings." True to their motto, at every air-battle-front of the world they keep fly ing Uncle Sam's battleships of the air. While the University of Nebras ka is teaching in absolute freedom, tthe arts and sciences. Nearby the Air Force's Technical school is training the men on whose shoul ders will fall the responsibility of preserving the freedom th uni versity so amply enjoys.
