Pur- pose of the organization is to provide an opportunity for the students of law to meet and discuss the field with graduate members of the de- partment who are now prac- ticing. President of the organi- zation is Robert Mitch. Mr. G. W. C. Ross is the adviser. I Baby of the campus clubs, the Radio club as it was re- formed this year expanded its membership to include those interested in the cre- ative and production ends of radio work as well as those whose sole interest is techni- cal. ' Its late start did not hinder its progress as the members plunged into their new proj- ect and by spring organized their resources sufficiently to present a number of radio programs on local stations ' 'plugging the Tiger Home- coming. With a large number of under-classmen interest- ed, these activities are due to increase next year. elwl Left to right, firft row: R. Kilpatrick, f. Sullivan, f. W ills, G. W. C. Ross, advr., R.

iQ.-L-.1'e:. ,, .- 1 If 0 During the past year twenty students from the College received pilot training under the Civil Aeronautics Authority, popularly known as the C. A. A. The course combined a ground school teaching theoretical flying and Chamber of Commerce rules of flight with the practical training of actu- ally flying a plane under the guidance of an expert at a local airport. To gain their pilots licenses, the students were required to complete eight hours of authorized flying time, during which they were taught the rudiments of handling the craft in take-offs, landings, and various other maneuvers. Upon bi.. 1,H,.-,-'5'.fQqQ- .ff 1.1t4ff75'N ' f f ' nl reaching mastery over these fundamentals, each student was allowed to solo and the rest of his required flying time was devoted to the finer points of aeronautics. The students were also introduced to the intri- cacies of airplane mechanism and the complicated rules of flight regarding altitude, right-of-way and so forth as laid down by the United States Department of Commerce. Although this training is indirectly part of the huge national preparedness campaign there is no obligation attached to the students who complete this course.
