Frbsh, Sophs Take Air Corps Examination Standardization Sought for Exam Freshmen and sophomores are re quired ' to take tke Aviation Cadet Qualifying examination to be given tomorrow in Phillips and Venable halls from 9 to 12 o'clock. Students con cerned will have been notified by letter which building to attend, W. D. Perry, vocational guidance director, an nounced yesterday. Perry emphasized that the examina tion is compulsory, the purpose being to ascertain how many college students can pass Army Air Force examinations under existing requirements and to standardize the tests before they are released for official use.

According to Army Headquarters, the majority of Aviation Cadets are selected from men who have had some college training.

Not only will the information be of value to the Air Force, but to college guidance com mittees as well.
