Naval Men Here for PrelitninaryInstruction in Theory Prior toTransfer to Aviation Base forPractice in Flymg.

TECH INSTRUCTORS AID WORK

Under the supervision of the Goverit-ment,.200 reserve student aviators arenow quartered in the Walker Memorialfor the purpose of obtaining elementaryinstruction previous. to actual flying.Some of Ibe men have taken up tlyin-direct from civil life, but a, majorityhave been transferred from Class 4 ofthe Naval Reserve, nearly a score com-ing from Newport. As competition isVerv keen the men are all working witha areat amount of enthusiasm.

The aviation school, tQ which about50 new men are admitted every twoweeks, is being run as much as possiblelike Annapolis, the men- liaving thestatus of cadet students an4 the rewardof a commission as ensign awaitingthem. The school is made into a bat-talion in command of a cadet detaciv-nient commander, and eaph "flight" (50ineii) is led by a flight commander. In-dustry and aptitude of the student arethe requirements-for these positions.

Jn addition to these ,appointmentswhich. are permanent for the lenath o fthe time that a man is in school, thereare other duties to be performed wh.'e.'iare taken up in rotation. Absence fromcla--,srooin instruction is not permitted.

weeks is the training period atthe ground seliool,- and the course isdivided into four grades or fli-lits ottwo weeks' duratoin. A man enters thesehool in FligIA D, and gradually ad-vances to C, B and A. After graduationlie i-, ordered to Pensacola, HamptonRoads, or some other aviation base totake up, elementary Ilyhicy.

A certain amount of technical work,Which is liandled bv instructors fromthe Institute, is included in the courses,for the most part, but they require somestandards. The studies are elementaryand the area are marked on lnstitut�degree of preparation. If the studentfails to nieet with the requirements ofthe school lie is immediately recom-mended bv tire Academic Board for dis-charae. The courses and flie routine aremade severe specifically to weed out theundesirables, as the Navy wants onlythe finest type of material for it's ki�-imy Corps.

The instruction includes sueli sub-jects as electricity, gunnery, meteor-olocry,, radio, photography, theory ofIlight, construetion kind operation ofniotors. Because of the excellent equip-inent at Teclitioloo, , the studies are

ade doublv hiter(-,tina. In ,tniiier,�each student is required to take down.111d assellible a 111a0lille (Y1111, load andfire it, and readjust it after it bas, beenjammed. A receiving speed of tenwords a, infinite in the radio course isrequired. Aero motors are taken (lowerand examined until the candidate foran aviators commission is able to ef-feet anv minor repair.

Four of the courses--navy repfla-tions, seamanship, sionallin- and theii--in- of aircraft-are conducted undertl%!- supervision of naval officers. In the('11ITiculum are also included 24 hoursof boat drill or calisthenics and 29]ionic, of infantri I drill.

The T. C. A. again issues a call formen to take charge of the classes ofmill-workers who are to be taught Eng-lish under Technologoy men. It is em--phas~ized that the training to be had inactually teaching these foreigners howto make themselves understood will beinvaluable to any man who has amrnbi-tions of holding an executive position,for the teacher will learn more of the-point of view of these men in this waythan he can learn while he is their boss..

These classes w9ill be held at plantsconvenient to the Institute, either'dur-ing the noon hour''or in th&-6verming. ~the classes will be arranged to fit theeprogaram of the teacher, there willl, be notrouble from conflicts with classes atthe Institute.

AhNOTH[ER "BI1G DRIVE"~

HE~ problem of collecting the undergraduate tax h!as nlowreached the stage where it can be solved only by energetic.methods. The big drive which is planned fo; next week is

to reach every man in the Institute, to find out whether or not hehas paid his tax, and if not, wlhy not. It is hoped that this plan willmot be looked upon as a means devised bay self-centered men to ex-t$ort more money from the impoverished student, but rather as anapgpeal to his loyalty, coming froma those who have the interests of'the Undergraduate Association most at heart. It is very little that.a man is asked to give up compared to the amount o! nioney lie-spends eacpah yepar for things which benefit him less.

The difficullty up till the present time in collectin-. the 'tax hasbeen occasioned partly by the natural inborn. inertia of the student
