For their fine work despite the fact that they have received comparatively lit- tle recognition, we say hats off — To Bill Mann and the University of North Caro- lina Flying School for a vital and necessary contri- bution to our University and our nation. The School has trained some two hundred students without in- jur) ' since January, 1939, giving them each forty hours of flying and a private operator ' s license. To Mr. Ed Lanier in whose hands rests the im- mense responsibility of administering pecuniary aid to some 730 students through the Student Aid Of- fice. Over a thousand applications must be reviewed by the Self-Help and Scholarship Committees before these positions and scholarships may be given.
