REVEILLE REPORTS From— THE PRESIDENT THE DEANS THE EDITORS In the days of Custer and Sheridan, 1 a uniform-clad figure was not an uncommon sight on the streets of Hays. Hays was a beehive of ac- tivity, and the men stationed at Forr Hays he) [ted to make it buzz. ... A few years ago, an army or navy unifi orm on r lie e am pus won I d have caused a great deal of excite- ment. To have a bov friend in the army or navy meant prestige in the eyes of others. Today, we have, in a sense, gone back ro the davs id C uster and Sheridan. A uniform is a common sight. When school opened last fall, the remnants of the glider school soared away. The glider school had been sta- tioned in Hays all summer. It was not very long before the Civilian Pilots began to fly in. The college had contracted to train 440 pilots as a liaison group. Dr. George A. Kelly of the psychology depart- ment devoted Ins time to the Civilian Pilot Training program. When enlistment in the C.P.T. program was abolished by govern- mental order, the program was changed to the War Training Serv- ice, conducted along lines similar to tlic t P T. The green uniforms of the VC .T.S. became familiar to the people of Hays as well as to the students Hie men in thisgruup compensated for the students who were being inducted into other branches of the armed service . . in a way. The Women ' s Leadership Or- ganization sponsored Saturday night open houses in the Coliseum for the entertainment of the students and W T.S. pilots. . . At the end of February, the Flying Training Command personnel as- signed to head the newly insti- tuted college training program for aviation cadets arrived on the campus Fort Hays was one of the many colleges throughout the country chosen to train men of the Army Air Force. The training schedule includes lour major groupings— academic, military, physical and flying. The students arc enrolled as privates, and re- main privates until the completion of the course. They arc then sent to one of rhe Flying Training Com- mand Classification Centers as cadets and assigned to training as pilots, bombardiers or navigators. The purpose of the five month pro- gram is to prepare rhe men for c adet training in the AAF Flying Training Command. When the army first arrived, the discipline was strange to most of the students and faculty members. It was not uncommon ro see the students stand around in groups and watch the men march by, singing the Army Air Corps song. Before long, the hut, two, three, four be- came as familiar to the students as it was to rhe army men themselves Thcglidcr pilots, the liaison pilots, and the army air force men have all been housed at Lewis Field and fed at Cody Commons. Lewis Field has been a home for main boys who attended Fort Hays, and now it is fitting that it should be used in the service of our country. LETTERS TO THE EDITORS (continued) myself, supposedly The correction which I would like for you to make is that the second woman in the picture is not my sister, as is stated, but is a total stranger ro both my wife and myself. However, it seems ro me that I have seen this woman; perhaps she ' s a flower vender in rhe city. For curiosity ' s sake I d like to know. CAPTAIN FORI ANAFT Pudunk Center Editor ' s note: • Our apologies ro Captain Forc- anaft, however, lie will be happy to learn that the unidentified woman has been identified. She is the mother of Mrs Lrta Lott, and her name is Mrs Ima Wcarv. She hails from Hays, Kansas, the metropolis of the west. - I D. Dear Sirs I noticed in your last issue of the Reviellc several important per- sons were entirely omitted from your issue, to sav nothing of mam errors found in names. 1)1 course. I ' m no editor, but it appears to me that such mistakes are inexcusable. It seems that wirh all the cheeking and rcchecking supposedly re- quired for such a major issue as yours ir should eliminate such embarrassing situations. Can you tell me why, then, everv year finds new names and faces slighted STUDl NT BODY (continued on p. 7) 6
