Gliding Gives'U'Students
Unique Sport Up in Clouds
Gliding is a noiseless and less
pensive way to fly.
Ihose are the reasons for the
ently - organized University
aring Club, according to Bud
Alcombe, temporary president.
'IN CONTRAST to power flight,
erything is perfectly quiet, and
ere are no worries about bill for
soline and oil," he commented.
Purpose of the Soaring Club
to instruct student members
i the art of motorless flight,
aintain sailplanes, and parti-
tpate in midwest and national
ampetitions.
'Once you are up there, you
ye absolutely no sense of alti-
le or fear."
THE SPORT is a practical way
derive a great deal of enjoy-
nt at little expense, according
Holcombe.
The glider itself is constructed
asically like an airplane-min-
S° the motor. Made of light
ood, it has a very streamlined
iselage with long, slender
ings. However, the glider is not
Rilt for speed;, but for low
rag' and high 'lift'. Two pilots
Lay maneuver the small aero-
ehicle.
The glider is equipped with full
ght instruments, even with an
paratus for blind flying.
Differing from the airplane, the
der has but one wheel in the
ater of its body. It may be
inched either by a car or, for
kher altitudes, by a plane.
* * *
THE SAILPLANE glides at ex-
>tionally low speeds; ordinarily
o average speed is about 50 miles
r hour. With a favorable up-
uft, it will go about 100 miles
thout having to land. The rec-
d distance is 400 miles, and the
ord flight length is 52 rours.
Once up in the air, the pilot in
ontrol must be skilled in select-
ig up-drafts, which are essen-
.ally rapid risings of air caused
y heat. A sensitive instrument
-the . variometer-aids . him in
etecting any small change in
he rate of . climbing. This
hange denotes an up-draft, and
le pilot must guide his glider

towards the swirling air current.
Once within the up-draft, the
glider is tossed to a higher alti-
thde.
The weight of the in dividual is
not a consequential factor in soar-
ing, and neither is age. One of the
nation's top-flight soaring pilots is
65 years old and still participating
in competitive meets.
*, * *
SOARING IS a very safe sport,
since speed is not emphasized. It
is not likely that a crack-up would
injure any pilot who biuckled his
safety straps. Actually, the sport
has a very low record for acci-
dents, according to Holcombe.
Landing, however, is a prob-
lem, because the pilot is not al-
ways able to direct the course of
his glider, which may be thrown
one way or another by the ele-
ments. Fortunately, the glider
can be brought down in a small
area.
Glider competitions are judged
upon the basis of how long a pilot
can keep his glider up and how
close he can get to a predestined
goal. Each glider is launched at
different times. The Soaring Club
plans to participate in m~eets as
soon as its members have become
proficient in the sport.
THE CLUB just recently bought
a glider for its own use from a
former member of the 1941 "U,
Soaring Club.
Members of the club are fre-
quently encountering persons
who were formerly associated
with the club in the '30's, ac-
cording to Holcombe.
Other temporary officers of the
club are: secretary, Jim Clark;
and treasurer, Gerald White. The
faculty advisor is Harold F. Allen,
while credited with organizing the
club is' Dick Schulze.

'U Camps Began in 187t4 - Casually
By NANCY BYLAN
When Prof. Joseph Baker Da-
vis and 24 civil engineering stu-
dents slipped away from Ann Ar-
bor in the summer of 1874 for a
four weeks surveying session at
Whitmore Lake, they didn't rea-
lize they were initiating something
new at the University - summer
camps.
Today there are eight summer
camps belonging to or affiliated
with the University, where stu-
dents can get credit in everything
from helminthology to socio-emo-
tional development of children.
CAMP DAVIS, now located at
Jackson Hole, Wyoming, was the
first of these developing out of
Prof. Davis -original excursion.
After. 16 - years on -the shore
of Lake Leelanaw, northwest of
Traverse City, Camp Davis, then
a part of the engineering col-
lege, moved to Glen Lake, and
four years later, in 1908 to Dou-
glas Lake, near Cheybogan.
Three years later Camp Davis
was transferred to its present lo-
cation.
Originally every civil engineer
who expected a degree from the
University had to spend a summer
at the camp. In 1938, however,
this engineering stronghold was
invaded by the geology depa't-
ment, which had formerly oper-
ated a camp at Mill Springs, Ky.
THE UNIVERSITY'S Biology
Station, affectionately known as
"Bug Camp" or "Ubs City," is
located between Douglas Lake and
Burt Lake, not far from the for-
mer site of Camp Davis, with
which it used to hold exchange
dinners.
The camp opened in 1909 with
13 students and two professors is
now a complete community of 141
b u i l d i n g s including Blissville,<
where the married couples live,I
Ladyville, where the unmarried
women reside, and State Street,<
the main thoroughfare.c
* * *
IN 1929 the forestry school1
jumped on the summer camp1
bandwagon and established Camp
Filibert Roth in the Hiawatha Na-i
tional Forest near Munising, Mich.1
Since 1935, however, forester'sI
have been learning their "saw
sense" on the shores of Golden1
Lake in Ottawa National Forestl
near Beechwood, Mich.]
Occasionally representatives of
axe companies give demonstrationsl
at the camp, including instruction
in how to shave with an axe. 1
Field work in geography is car-
ried on at the Geography Camp
in Wilderness Park near Macki-
naw City, a site chosen after the
geographers separated from a
joint camp with the geologists in
Kentucky. Field methods in ar-
chaeology are studied at Camp Kil-
larney in Ontario.
PERHAPS THE most famous of
all the University summer camps
is Interlochen, the National Mu-
sic Camp.
Founded in 1928, the camp
was originally intended as a
summer home for the National
High School Orchestra, but it
soon became a mecca for high
school and college musicians
from all parts of the country.
It affiliated with the University
in 1942..
Under the direction of Prof.
Joseph E. Maddy of the music
school, the camp offers Univer-
sity courses in music, art, theatre,
radio, dance, camp counseling and
recreational leadership.
* * *
THE UNIVERSITY has two
summer camps at which the stu-
dents, instead of being the "camp-
ers" are the "counselors." These
are the Fresh Air Camp, at Pat-
terson Lake near Pinckney, Mich.,
and Shady Trails, the speech im-
provement camp at Northport,
Mich.
The Fresh Air Camp for un-
derprivileged boys was founded
in 1910 by Lewis Reimann, for-
mer University football star and
Student Christian Association
worker.
Officially accepted by the Uni-
versity in 1944, the camp was
made part of the Institute for
Human Adjustment two years la-
ter.
University students act as sup-
ervisors at the camp, receiving
credit in education, sociology and
psychology courses.
* * *
SIMILAR WORK in speech cor-
rection is carried on by student
"counselors" at Shady Trails, a
camp for boys with speech de-
fects.
Founded in 1932 by John Clan-
cy, now assistant to the director
of the University Speech Clinic,
Shady Trails was given to the
University in 1949, as a gift from
the Kresge Company.
In addition to the regular sum-
mer camps, University units of
ROTC and NROTC hold summer
programs. ROTC seniors in drd-
nance attend a summer camp
training program at Aberdeen,
Md., those in infantry at Camp
McCoy, Wis., and those in the
signal corps at Ft. Monmouth,
N. J.
Cruises in the Atlantic are on
the summer program of NROTC
sophomores and seniors, while
juniors spend two weeks at Little
Creek, Virginia and then six
weeks at Pensacola.

"The theatre operates under the
city, which provides the buildings
and the maintenance," she said.

MISS EVANS commented that
there is a great civic interest in
the theatre and that organized
groups of parents of the children
in the younger theatre assert a
direct "political force" - getting
necessary improvements and ad-
ditions from the city.
The Cain Park Theatre pre-
sents four plays in an eight
week summer season, with a reg-
ular paid acting company sup-
plemented by local actors, high
school students, and university
apprentices.
"Our acting company is a non-
Equity group of professional qual-
ity, with talent drawn from the
greater Cleveland area," Miss
Evans declared.
* * *
"A POOL of extremely talented
persons has developed among ac-
tors, in the many little theatres
in Cleveland, who have found that
a rewarding theatrical career is
possible without going to New
York," she asserted.
"The Cain Park project has
made Cleveland community thea-
tre conscious by linking the city
and the theatre. We hope our suc-
cess will prove to other localities
that community theatrical centers
are practical and possible every-
where," Miss Evans commented.
