,. :. THE MICHIGAN DAILY . SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1950 __________________________ I OIL & GAS COSTS: 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.

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.

Delegates from 20 nations., in- cluding the United States, also came out strongly in favor of equal pay for women who do the same jobs as men.

ALGAE OGGLERS-Students at the Biological Station, one of the University's eight summer camps, peer at plant anatomy under the supervision of Prof. Carl LaRue of the botany department. Located on Douglas Lake, near Cheboygan, Mich., the camp gives students an opportunity for field work in botany and zoology not available in Ann Arbor. UCm B an1 7 * * * '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 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.
