Applicants for the air training have
been attending ground school taught
by W. R. Mann every week night for
an hour and 15 minutes ever since
regular classes began.
Exxtraordinary Requests Refused
The airport staff has been forced
to refuse ride-seekers, candidates for
dual instruction and licensed students
and townspeople who ask for rental
planes. Mann has announced, however,
that a plan that will enable the air
port to comply to these requests is
being worked out.
Besides Mann, the University is
employing four flying instructors.

A plan to organize the student body
for more effective voluntary coopera
tion with national defense work has
been submitted to the Ways and Means
committee of the. Student Legislature,
Chairman Terry Sanford said yester
day. The proposed bill was drawn up by
committee on organization for na
tional defense appointed by Dave Mor
rison before the opening of school this
year.
The plan provides that the student
body be divided according to residence
into 400,sections of about 10 students
each. Ten -of these sections would
make up a group and 10 groups will
make up an area. There will be four of
these areas and the four area chairmen
with the president of the student body
will form an administrative commit
tee. To Inform Students
"This organization is designed to
serve in two ways," Bill Cochrane,
speaker of the Legislature, who is a
member of the defense committee,
said yesterday. "It will facilitate dis
tribution of information to the stu
dents and will allow leaders to get an
accurate report of student opinion, not
only on defense matters but on any
other , issues which may come up."
The bill specif ies , that "the organ
ization shall not operate as a judicial
or legislative body. Its function is to
expedite the process" of - self-government
by affording the machinery for
allowing the whole student body,
through more rapid expression of ma
tured judgment, to participate prompt
ly in decision-making."
Members of the committee, which
drew up the bill in "11 or 12" meet
ings during the summer and after
the opening of school, are Cochrane,
