(Beginning witfc today's itstit, Mi Daily prntt coiumn About the
aircrew stationed hi Lov library written by various members of the air crew
for the aircrew and th Nebraska student body. Present plans are for
daily column.)
Aside from the Innocents
night, flying army ships, Piper cubs to be specific, have become
the chief topic of conversation around the barracks. Seems a
couple of sections have been turned over to flight instructors
out at a local field and these junior hirdmen are doing their
best to turn themselves into fliers before leaving. It shouldn't
be to hard.
Board the Bus.
The first group of these men got into a rundown bus Mon
day morning, shortly after dawn, and headed in a northwest
direction. Conversation on the bus was thick. Maybe it was go
ing to be P-Mk and maybe jusl B-2"s. No one know for sure'.
Anyhow, ir minutes after departure from ljove barracks, they
were filing out of the bus and being marched to a grassy plot
where a long skinny row of, yellow-painted Piper cubs slept.
The ships looked terrific, and have entranced men flying them.
Most of the fellows expected instructors to talk chalk at
a blackboard for several days before actually flying, but the
army is working fast. No sooner had they entered the office to
meet instructors than parachutes were passed out.. Awkwardly
the clumsy out fits were bound about hand and foot, snapped in
many places, and buckled around the neck. Assistants helped
new fliers out the door and carried them to individual planes.
Pushed Into Cockpit.
The instructors pushed each man into the cockpit, told the
student to buckle the safety strap, then got into the planes
themselves. Several deafening Piper roars preceded rapid take
offs. At about 300 feet instructors turned the controls over to
the nervous neophytes. Within minutes, local advertisers were
phoning 1he airport, asking
prices and seeking names of the daring acrobats newly attached
to the base. Officials said "no deal."
Cups were taken up for men who got sick, and some were
used. Nebraska winds blow strong, and healthy men find it
hard to withstand a long series of rough airpotkets scattered
about the sky. For 50 minutes the first-timers skittered thru

ROTC unit Thursday.
The boys in their GIs may think
they're pretty smooth and the air
corps may have it's tuneful dit
ties to keep up morale but the
gals have proved to most that its
no laughing matter. They can
drill as well as any man and may
have a chance to prove It come
next week, so say the coed-ets.
Just to keep in trim the unit
will meet in two groups Saturday
for hour drill periods. The first
group at 11 a. m. and the second at
2 p. m. and then of course two
hours again on regular drill day,

McNeill, professor of economics,
gave Culbertson's plan to have a
world federation composed of 11
regional federations each created
by a combination of states with a
common history, culture, lan

would be an executive head,
elected for six years, a legislative
body consisting of 11 world trus

a world court of equity.

Heavy armament would be ap
