and if it is possible, that smile is |
getting larger every minute. One of
the things that helped was the re-1

campus. King, an ex-GI, has one of ^
the classiest shots we’ve seen in a long

Ronny Cates helped to brighted that
smile a bit too. Cates is the boy

North Dormitory.
The singles tennis tournament will
be started in the near future. Also,

Approval of Elon College for veter
ans’ training in aviation under the
provisions of law enacted by the Sev
enty-eighth Congress has been re
ceived from C. P. Pate, chief, Voca
tional Rehabilitation Division of the
Veterans’ Administration, Fayette
ville, N, C., it was announced tc^lay
by Dr. L. E. Smith, president of the
college.
All men and women eligible under
the G. I. Bill of Rights may take the
course with expenses paid under the
provisions established by federal leg
islation. Civilian pilot license may
be obtained upon completon of the
work.
Facilites available are the same
ones which were extensively used for
Air Corps trainees during the war.
Instruction will be given in the dollege
by Professor A. L. Hook, head of
the Department of Physics at Elon
and licensed pilot, former president of
the Physics Division of North Car
olina Academy of Sciences. Flying in
structors at the Burlington airport are
C. H. Jordan and Henry Warf, both of
competent experience. Further ex
pansion of the program is contem-
pla^:;d by the joint management.
The report from the Veterans’ Ad
ministration reads in part:
“The Burlington Flying Service
and Elon College have been jointly
approved as an institution for train
ing in aviation ... In the event vet
erans desire training in aviation and
the Burlington Flying Services fur
nishes this instruction as an exten
sion of the laboratory facilities of your
institution . . . and if Elon College
allows full credit for such a course,
approves the content of it, and su
pervises the instruction, the course
may be considered as meeting the re
quirements of Public Law 346, 78th
Congress, and payments for it within
established limitations will be made
in conformity with the usual pro
cedure.”
It is believed that Elon is the first
college in the state to»be granted this
approval. College and university
practice now is to enroll veterans at
any time during an academic term or
qua/ter, provided that, suitable ar
rangements are made through the
dean of instruction.
During the war, 672 A A F cadets re
ceived their initial training at Elon
College. In addition to these, 160
men and women have already been
given training in civilian pilot and war
training courses in aviation. The
present class includes Miss Patricia
Hook, third daughter of Professor
Hook to study flying, and one of the
youngest women pilots in the state.

A POEM
By What’s What
Tom asked me to write a poem. I
can’t write a poem. I once had a
roommate who could. His name was
Poe—Gene Poe. I remember one
that he wrote. Professor McClure
told him it was pretty good (“Doc”
was just being nice to him) and he
told everybody in the dormitory that
Edgar Allen Poe was liis grandpop. I
I couldn’t write a poem though ’cause
I never had any ancestors who wrote
poems. The only Whatley listed in
“Who’s Who Among Inmates In
State and Federal Penitentarys,” is
the one who was nabbed for shop
lifting. He lifted it with TNT. He
might get a pardon through. After
all they have been having a lot of
trouble with the Lifters Union iJt'New
York. Isn’t there an exclamation point
on this typewriter. Oh, did you know
vi'hy the keys are arranged like they
are on the kepboard of a typewriter.
Well believe it or not, you can spell
typewriter with the first line of the
keyboard. This was made this way
to help the first salesmen of type-
v/riters who couldn’t type any better
than I can. But what all this stuff
tot to do with a poem?
eleven, Shaw was president of his
senior class, business manager of the
Phipsicli, and an active member of
Sigma Phi Beta fraternity during his
years at Elon. “Reb” was a biology
major while at Elon, and hopes to
go into that field after his dis
charge from service.
After completing his stay at Elon,
Shaw will return to his home in Rose-
niont. Pennsylvania, and from there
will go to the PT training center at
Melville Rhode" Island, as he is still
on call for Naval duty.
