Naval Career
Open for Men
With the election of a new
jjresident whose announced pol
icy is to try to end the war in
Korea, many men at Mars Hill
are thinking seriously of joining
some branch of the armed forces
after college.
According to a bulletin re
ceived from the navy, there are
many advantages in being a
Naval Air cadet. In this branch
of the service one is given train
ing in all types of flying with
great emphasis on landing on
aircraft carriers.
The requirements for entering
the Naval Air School are as fol
lows: An applicant must pass
the mental and physical exami
nations, must be between the
ages of eighteen and twenty-
seven, must be unmarried at the
time of acceptance, and must
agree to remain unmarried un
til he is commissioned. He also
must have completed two years
of college work leading toward
a bachelor’s degree.
There are no limitations now
on the number of men who can
be processed. Naval Air cadets
