Dim Prospects Seen For Might Program Plans For Flight Training Courses Take Back Seat to Expansion Program By Ed Joyner The University flight training program originally planned to start operation at the outset of the fall quarter and later post poned until the winter session, has been relegated to the compara tive limbo of "improvements contemplated," an inquiry at the University business office revealed yesterday. More pressing necessities of acquir ing additional classrooms and more living space for students have pushed the flight program into the back ground of administrative attention for .the time, being, J. A. Williams, as sistant business manager said in re ply to" questions concerning the pro ject. Slight Possibility "There is still a slight possibility of getting things lined up so as to complete one class by June 10," Wil- liams said. "In order to do this the0f the Woman's Handbook will be program would have to start March 21, and it is very indefinite whether this can be, arranged," he added. Williams pointed out that putting the program into operation would en tail the purchase of from four to six airplanes by the University. Quali fied instructors for both- ground school and actual flying training would also have to be found. As originally planned the flight in struction program was to include courses in primary, multi-engine, commercial, instructing and instru ment fixing. Training would be given at University-owned Horace Williams airport and five to ten quarter hours credit would be allowed for the dif ferent courses. GI Bill Ok'd If the flight program is instituted here, student veterans will be quali fied to include, the courses in their curriculum under the G. I. bill. How ever, since the $500 yearly academic allowance provided by the govern ment would not cover the complete costs of the. courses, the veterans' ed ucational eligibility period would be shortened in proportion to the addi tional expense beyond $500.
