Elon Flying Club gives students a different field of interest Thursday, March 5,1981 The Pendulum Page 7 By Patrick McNeely The Elon Flying Club held its first meeting Monday tvening, Feb. 16. The basic facts and figures on aspects of flying were discussed by instructor Keith Kirkman. So far, 10 Elon students have signed up for the course. A film supplied by ihe U.S. Department of Av iation explained, in layman’s terms, some interesting facts about general aviation. The biggest and fastest growing piiase of aviation, general aviation contains 78 percent of all aircraft and is one of the largest income-producing modes of transportation in tiie world. The Elon Fl^ng Club offers flight traiiiing, as well as ground training for stu- tients. The entire package includes 20 hours of class room studies, 20 hours of solo flight training, and one written test. Kirkman went on to explain that the Elon Flying Club is a non-profit organization and is run en tirely by the students them selves. One of the frightening aspects of the club is not the flying part. It is the cost. If you were not a student, the ground training alone would cost $40. Elon students, however, get a sizeable dis count, making the cost about $85. The price jumps when it comes to the flight training. For the plane rental, hourly costs normally range from $24 to $35 an hour. For students this figure is re duced to around $18 per hour. President and general manager of BurUngton Avia tion, Inc., Jed Wagoner described the airplane that will be used for the students. “The Cessna 150 is one of the most modern and safest a free hoarder Mouse likes fieldhouse by Vicki Blankenship The new Koury Field- House has a boarder who is obviously enjoying the top the state athletic equip ment and facilities. Fully carpeted Koury Field House not only has been meeting accommodations for football players and 50 laseball players, but one little athletic mouse lives in •hf building as well. While students were on a lour of the athletic training room, Marty Baker, the •rainer, was explaining the of the ultra sound mus- relaxer and whirlpool. Just watching the hot water ^culate made “oohs” and *ahs” come from everyone ® the tour, until a small gray streak flew out from under the whirlpool sending screams and stomping feet everywhere. It was the athletic little mouse, with his mighty leaps and lightning sprints around the room. Was he coming out to explain we had inter rupted his afternoon nap? He hid under the taping table, and the group pulse rate calmed down to normal. Marty Baker continued to talk about the facilities again and the tour was a success. So... what about the little guest athlete? Perhaps at night he is showering in one of the 30 showers and relax ing his tired aching muscles in the whirlpool after all the other athletes have gone home.

New mothers are strongly urged to breastfeed their babies.

Starting within two weeks, the Flying Club will add a step toward new fields of interest for the students. Spectators watch Elon lacrosse club in action. Photo by Avrette.
