Instructor Shows Ann Arbor Airport To Flight Students Odd Museum Pieces Illustrate Customs Of Little-Known Tibet Students To Attend Railway Convention By JEAN MAXTED Many of the things described by Harrison Forman, lecturer and ex- plorer, in his lecture Wednesday night are given reality in the large col- lection of Tibetan material owned by the University Museums. The material is located in the Division of OrientN in the Museum of Anthropology and illustrates many aspects of religion, daily life, and odd customs of this little known country in central Asia, which is sometimes called the "Roof of the World." Ti- betan cultural life is largely centered! around the Lamaist monasteries which arehscattered throughout the country, and it is from the temples attached to these monasteries that Ten students of the Transporta- stitute the Tibetan book, are filled tion Club will accompany Professors with mannered characters in the John S.

A group of the 20 prospective student pilots, who e'=rolled in the University's new flight training course, get their first look at one of the "little flivver" ships in which they will fly a minimum of 35 hours during the semester. If the course proves successful, the program will be expanded to produce 20,000 new flyers next year. Fledgling Pilots Amass 30 Hours Twice a day, four days a week, the 20 students enrolled in the local flight training course are taking to the air from the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti airports for 30-minute flights. A- ready the fledging pilots have amassed a totak of more than 30. hours of dual flying and weather per- mitting, the instructors estimate that in two weeks the group should be soloing. Cub ships, light two-seaters that only develop 50 horsepower are being used in the course. Two of these "flivver" planes are kept at the Ann Arbor airport and one is at Ypsilanti. This type of plane is ideal for this work, instructors explained, because they are exceedingly easy to handle and at the same time are economical to operate. In addition to giving actual flying lessons, the flight instructors are holding regular ground school courses in the Ea'st Engineering building. These courses deal with fundimen.- tal navigation and meteorology and are designed to make the student a safer and more proficient pilot. Upon completion of the 15-week course, CAA inspectors will conduct examinations for private pilot's li- cences. These tests are very rigid and determine both the prospective pilot's knowledge and his flying ability. The training course a being given as an experiment at 13 colleges and universities by the CAA as a direct result of the President's plea to Con- gress to provide for training 20,000 students as reserve pilots for the Army and Navy. If it proves success- ful, the plan will be extended to edu- cational institutions throughout the United States. The cost of the program is defrayed by the Civil Aeronautical Authority with an appropriation of $100,000 from the NYA, The actual adminis- tration, however, is in the hands of the University. Prof. E. A. Stalker, head of the department of aeronauti- cal engineering, is in charge of the program on the campus, and Prof. E. W. Conlin is actively supervising the work. All thestudents are genuinely in- terested in aviation as is attested to by the $60 entrance fee they paid. They all expect to continue flying if financially possible and some hope to make it a career. There is very litle danger involved in the course according to Professor Conlin. This fact is supported by the recent report from Randolph Field that 336 Army cadets completed 35,- 000 hours of actual flying with a bent propellor as the most serious mishap. According to an official statement, Dowagiac Forms New Alumni Club The University of Michigan Club of Dowagiac became the 139th Michi- gan alumni chapter yesterday when T. Hawley Tapping, general secretary of the Alumni Association received the Articles of Association of the new club. The club comprises 30 mem- bers, and its first president is E. Bruce Laing, '11. A reorganization meeting of the defunct University of Michigan Club of El Paso was held yesterday. the CAA hopes, through the medium] of this flight training program, "To build up a great pool of men and ma- chines, dedicated to and engaged in the pursuits of peace, but ,yielding first place to no other nation in fly- ing skill or technical development, and quickly adaptable to military needs in time of war." Safety Sign the religious objects in the collection come. Strange trumpets made of human thigh bones decorated with silver bands are used to call the faithful and disperse demons. Odd-looking prayer-wheels in the shape of metal cylinders that enclose endless strips of papers supplications to Tibetan deities ,are revolved ceaselessly to gain merit with the gods. Ceremon- ial daggers of bronze are used to dis- pose of devils. Tinkling brass cymbals are sup- posed to placate angry gods and goddesses, and an imposing bronze ball with a curious handle is the mainstay of the sorcerer. There is a grisly rattle-drum made of skull- cups over which human skin As stretched serves to mark pauses in the Tibetan ritual, and the Lamaist priest counts his beads on a rosary made of human bones. Not all 'the material is reminiscent of skeletons and black devils, how- ever. Curious bronze images have the serene and detached gaze of the Buddha face of the Far East, and the insides are filled with powdered clay or yak's wool which may hide any- thing from a grain of wheat to a small ruby.

The signs are being manufactured and assembled at present and will later be erected at 300 interse ftions as city sponsored NYA projects. According to information issued by the city engineer's office the signs being made by NYA workers will use letters three and three-fourths inches high, one of the largest sizes ever used in marking streets. The visi- bility will be three times as great as at present. Each sign will consist of four boards, bearing raised white letters on a black background. The lowest board, placed six and one-half feet above the curb will enable them to be seen easily over the top of parked cars. They will also be low enough to catch a portion of the headlight rays at night. 1i I You'll enjoy the goodness, the smoothness and melow- r~ ness of Bock. Becr.
