NIGHT ' EITORf-HENRY MERRY WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1930, CARRYING ON. The death of Edgar iekemeyer in the glider crash lashr Saturday afternoon has rudely awakened us ' flromi our dream that gliding is a perfectly safe way to navigate the .air. Many will now be inclined to view gliding with suspicion and 1possibly to think that human life is too precious to risk for the sport- ing thrills and elementary flying experience that; gliding offers. We should not, however, allow tie sud- denness and nearness of the shock 'caused by a studet's death to warp our perspective. Gliding, despite this most recent black eye, is now, and as time passes will more and more prove itself an invaluable ad- junt to Ameica's aeronautical de- velopment. As the long-sought missing link between the student and powered flying, it must not be sacrificed to public ignorance of its importance or public mistrust of its essential safety. It would be folly, however, to dis- regard the lessons' to be learned from Siekemeyer's death. The first is that the internal discipline of the Glider section must be strengthened so that no member will attempt maneuvers in the air which he does not thoroughly and exactly understand. The same group must go to the flying field each time with the same instruc- tor so that no one's piloting ability will be overestirmated before he is given a ship to fly. The second les- son to be learned is that primary training gliders as built in this country are not so inherently sta- ble in the., air as their German counterparts. Trheir stability has been sacrificed for maneuverability which is apt to prove dangerous in the hands of beginners. We believe that these lessons will be sufficiently taken to heart by the student members, of the Glider' sectioni to make faculty supervision of their activities unnecessary. .It would be a mistake to sacrifice the independence, self -reliance, and initiative upon which they ha.ve built up the most important and l progressive glider club in the Unit- CapusOpnon Music And TDraa Q1TDRL Contributors are askled to ic bbii'I., confining themslves to l: haihn *vo0 w~ords of poss.ible.
