Fifteen Teachers Learn About Aerospace;
Labs Include Flight Training, Tours, Trips
By Barbara Singer
Fasten your seatbelts. Clear the run
way. Project TOGA is taking off.
Project TOGA, as it is known in Ne
braska, stands for Teacher Orientation
to General Aviation. Fifteen teachers
from all over Nebraska are taking part
In the program, an eight week summer
school session at the University.
The course is open to all interested
grade school, junior and senior high
school teachers who are recommended by
their superintendents to take the course,
according to Dr. Frank E. Sorenson.
They must be outstanding teachers, and
they must be interested in aviation and

SORENSON DIRECTS PROGRAM
in bringing aviation information to stu
dents, Sorenson said.
The concept govering the instructor is
not that they be prepared to teach avia
tion but that they work the informa
tion they acquire into the existing cur
riculums in their own school systems.
For instance, Sorenson explained, in
a mathematics course students would be
interested in how to get from one point
to another. In science classes students
study meteorology (weather) and anyone
who flies is very much concerned with
up to the minute weather information.
Aero dynamics, the study of what keeps
a plane up, is also a part of science
study.

A national business educator feels that
continuing education vested with "know
why and know-how" is the method of so
cial salvation of the West if not for the
whole world.
Dwayne Orton, educational consultant
and editor of THINK magazine for the
International Business Machines Corp. at
New York City, spoke at the second
World Affairs Preview at the University
Thursday afternoon.
"There was a time," Orton said, "when
we couldn't afford to eduate everyone to
full capacity. Today we can't afford not
to educate everyone to full capacity.
"The educational status of people is
the basis of an expanding economy. This

Georgraphy classes would be inter
ested in studying maps, which is an es
sential part of flight navigation. The
knowledge acquired by these teachers
will also be helpful in guidance classes
for anyone interested in a career in
aviation.
The four purposes explicitly set up for
the operation of this summer program,
according to Sorenson, are:
(1) To acquaint Nebraska teachers
with the aerospace education move
ment across the state and nation.
(2) To provide Nebraska teachers with
an opportunity to become acquainted
with available aerospace teaching mater
ials. 3-

is the great economic revolution of the
20th century," Orton stated.
The United States and the western
world have an education mission in the
world today, he said.
If there can be education of the present
through the eyes of the future at least
people will be developed to live in the
future, Orton said.
He said the first industrial revolution
changed muscle power to mechanical
power. The second industrial revolution
is changing mechanical power to brain
power. The development of brain power
is the exclusive province of the total ed
ucational influences in the environment
n
(3) To give selected Nebraska teach
ers an opportunity to further their knowl
edge of aviation by engaging in pilot
training.
(4) To provide Nebraska teachers with
the first stage of exploring the aero
space dimension along with ideas as to
how they may continue this exploration
in the months ahead.
At the end of the eight week session,
the participating teachers will have
taken the Federal Aviation Agency ex
amination, which is necessary for ob
taining a private pilot's license. They
will also have had considerable oppor
tunity to fly.
Besides two hours of lecture' and
ground school work every day, the teach
ers arrange several hours for actual
flight training.
A few cross country trips are included
in the aerospace program. The class
flew to Colorado Springs for a weekend
visit to the USAF Academy. They will
also fly to Witchita and Kansas City for
a weekend. They plan to visit several
small airplane industries in Witchita to
watch planes being constructed. In
Kansas City they will tour the regional
offices of the Federal Aviation Agency,
and will visit TWA headquarters, where
stewardesses and pilots are trained.
All cross country flight planning for the
trips is done beforehand by the class.
The trips are really "labs in the air,"
according to one of the instructors.
When the teachers complete the course
and return to their home towns in Aug
ust they will know how to fly and they
can continue to fly with local operators
to acquire more experience. Then they
can take the necessary check ride and '
oral examination to complete the re
quirements for a pilot license.
"There are many uses for planes to
day," Sorenson said. "In fact, there are
more flying farmers and ranchers in
Nebraska than any other state. This is
because the state is so large it is im
portant for them to use airplanes to get
from one place to another."
This aerospace class is a cooperative
adventure by three Nebraska groups who
sponsor the program, Sorenson said. The
sponsors are the Aerospace Education
Division of the University (Teachers Col
lege), the Nebraka Department of Aero
nautics, and the Nebraska Association
of School Administrators.

including formal educational institu
tions. "There are those who believe today
thai tlje educational status of a country
is a more accurate mesure of the econ
omy than gross national product. Human
resources development is a much more
reliable indicator of modernization than
any other resource," Orton said.
"Studies have shown that the status of
economic health and educational health
go hand in hand in the local community.
There seems to be a definite relation
ship between good retail sales and good
schools." Business Institutions now seek
their location on the basis of the intellect
ual climate. A fact not true five yean
ago.
The importance of continuing educa
tion was emphasized by Orton when he
said that six-year-olds today may expect
to change their vocations three times
during the lifetimes because of continual
change. It has been estimated that 60
million jobs today will change in char
acter during the next 35 years.
Orton suggested that the dynamic qual
ities of human experience are the true
goals of a college. "We have to develop
individuals who can develop them
selves day to day," he said.
"Responsibility is a premium skill to
day," he said.
Orton said he did not worry about the
social problems of technology as "what
man's mind can conceive, man can con
trol" and education is the answer.
The next and last World Affairs Pre
view will be Thursday July 30. Norris
E. Bradbury, director, Los Alamos Re
search Center will speak.
