Crawford, Republican, of Michigan
and favorably reported yesterday
by the Public Buildings and Grounds
Committee after hearing regard
ing the safety of the Corcoran
Courts Apartment which is to be
used by the financial section and

about five years.

ford told their colleagues they had
been given assurance that no Gov
ernment employees will be put in
those temporary Offices until the
safety of the structure has been as

investigation to see what structural
changes were necessary.

Though there is only sprinkling
OF girls at the conference, there are
many active feminine club men,

flying fans at Stanford are girls.
One club. Purdue, owns its own
ship, with the members participat-
ing on share basis. Three club
members at Michigan own their
own planes, and the airport has
five ships it rents to club members
who average 1000 hours in the air
year.
For some collegiate flyers the fly
ing clubs are valuable experience in
their engineering training. For
others flying is hobby. At Duke
University club members fly across
country to the Women's College OF
the University of North Carolina
at Greensboro for dances.
Youthful and enthusiastic, the

First Pilot raining Candidate
Is Convention Delegate
Purdue Junior Got
Sturt When q
Mere Child

The first youth to take to the
air in the Governments 10000 pilot
training program is one of the hun
dred or so college flyers here for
the joint conference of private and
collegiate pilots at the Wardman
Park Hotel.
He is Emmett Hamer, 20-year-
old Purdue Junior msjoring in aero
nautical engineering. His back
ground is similar to that of thou
sands of his contemporaries whom
the Government is giving their
chance to test their wings.
When he was little he built model
airplanes. He subscribed to all the
aviation magazines and spent all
his spare hours at the airport near
his Ohio home.
He had few hours in the air
before the program went into effect,
but he didn't have his pilots license
That would have made him ineligi-
BILE for instruction under the Gov
ernment plan.
He had joined the Purdue Flying
Club when he was freshman and
had taken engineering courses to
give him an acquaintance with
ground work.
He wouldn't mind particularly
If he were called to active service
as an Army pilot, but he prefers
the engineering end. He under
stands that the program can be put
to military use, but that at the
present it is. designed for civilian
training.
AS far as flying in the event OF
war, he shrugged: "The way 1t looks
now most of us are going to have
to get into it one way or the other,
so what's the difference?"
Purdue was the first university
to put the Government program
into effect. Emmett made his first
flight under the new plan on Feb
ruary 16, one of the so applicants
who passed the rigid physical ex-
animation and other requirements
for the course. Two hundred and
fifty youths applied
More colleges are represented at
