CIVIL AVIATION GROWS, AIR
RECORDS INDICATE

Civil aviation is gaining strong
foothold throughout the United States
and 6,482 active airplane licenses and
3,l09 identification licenses have been
issued by the Government, according
to the Aviation Department of the
Automobile Club of Washington.
The statement is based ON a report
from the A. A. A. Air Travel Division
which has assumed an important part
in the promotion of air travel.
Flying these planes are 9,279 pilots
with active licenses and 28,738 students
with limited permits. In addition,
there are 7,196 licensed mechanics.
The increasing number of planes and
operators has resulted in a demand
for aviation services now being pro-
vided by air travel bureaus in 1879
A. A. A. motor clubs. This service, as
provided by the Automobile Club Of
Washington, extends to furnishing
maps and arranging passage for pa
irons of established air lines, emergen-
cy service for the flyers with dis
abled plane, educational campaigns to
encourage flying and other demands
of the air reminded.
Preliminary estimates indicate that
more than 100000 passengers enjoy
ed aeroplane trips in 1929.
Aside from services rendered to both
operators of planes and patrons of air
lines, A. A. A. motor clubs throughout
the country are joining with other
civic agencies in fostering the estab-
fishing of airports, urging the extern
sion of existing air routes and gener-
ally aiding the cause of aviation. An
effort is also being made to overcome
any popular thought of the aeroplane
as dangerous method of travel. This
is being done largely through educa-
ton.

PRESENT GENERATION BETTER
DISCIPLINED THAN PAST

ITO one who has associated with
college students over period of years
it is plainly evident that the present
generation of students everywhere is
better behaved, easier disciplined, and
think happier than at any time in the
last 25 years"
This statement was made by Pro-
lessor H. H. House, member of the
physical education faculty at the State
College OF Washington, in recent talk
IN "Intramural Athletics.
"Intramural athletics are partly re-
sponsible for this change in attitudes,
because they have satisfied one basic
testing of ones self against an oppo-
nent. Other factors such as debate,
music, work on student publications,
etc. have also been of much value In
bringing about changed sisuation.
"That the beginnings of our varsity
athletics were mostly intramural, o.
pening with the 1860's and gradually
merging into interscnool contests and
varsity competition as we now know it.
In the zest for this new angle, intra-
mural athletics were practically for
gotten at the beginning of the present
century. Students not on the varsity
teams confined their athletic activities
largely to drunken brawls, after the
game. Fist fights, breaking and de-
stroying property, getting drunk and
raising ructions in general, were conf
mon.
School and college administrators
considered doing away with varsity
competition to remedy this evil, but
soon saw this would be little help.
Intramural athletics were finally hit
upon as solution, were re-introduc-
ed and seem to have succeeded admir-
ably in their purpose"
