In 6-Week Course
At College Park
BY Fronk SortweII, Jr.

Thirty-three wives and fiancees
of University of Maryland Air
Force Reserve Officers Corps
trainees are learning how to cope
with the peculiarities of service
life in a special course on the
College Park campus.
The class began last week, full
OF girls who are a tribute to the
notoriously good taste of flying
men.
They will meet with Air Force
officers and experienced service
wives each Thursday night for
six weeks and climax the course
with a tour of Boiling Air Force
Base.
They picked up some useful
information at the first class. For
example. be careful with the
bank balance.

work." inquired a lady in horn
trimmed glasses.
Idea Changes.
"There was tradition against
work for officers wives" Col.
Ambrose said. They wanted
ladies in the service to be abso-
lutte ladies. However, that has
changed"
He hurriedly explained that
by that" he meant the attitude
toward women working. and not
the lady-neSS of wives.
Does the education of chill
dren suffer from being moved
around as families are trans
ferred?"
Just the opposite" replied
one of the seven officers wives
who will help teach the course.
"They gain poise-mature be-

Other questions concerned

Ambrose fastened to say, travel

possibilities of overseas assign
