SC Plans Air Force Project
University College Will Train Flight Safety Officers
A contract awarded to SC to cover p research and training program for Air Force flight safety officers has just been confirmed in a letter from the director of flight safety training of the United States Air Force.
The Flight Safety program was organized under the joint efforts of an SC' committee under the chairmanship of Carl Hancey, dean of University college and a staff headed by Lt. Col. Lawrence H. Macauley chief of the U.S. Air Force planning group of flight safety research.
It will be conducted in three phases.
The first phase will develop con-| tent of the course and instructional materials needed for training I flight safety officers.
Phase two will cover the teaching program, during which flight safet> officers will be sent to SC for six w'eeks of intensive training in basic flying-safety inspections. investigations, analysis of
accidents, accident reporting, and thirty-three had registered as of recommendations of remedial ac- jagt Tuesday. Last year at the tion.	same time 9.244 had signed up.

Police Clear Willard Hall Of Bookmaking Suspicion
Willard hall is not a bookie joint.
But it took a lot of explanation to police a few nights ago for Willard residents to prove that they were just student* living in a men’s dormitory.
The Student Handbook is responsible for the misunderstanding. It listed the number at Willard as PRospect 88083, when in reality it wa* Richmond 88033.
The Prospect number belongs to Henry Feldman company, a manufacturer of radio parte, located at 406 West Pico Boulevard, but nobody bothered to tell the secretary there about the miscue.
So she began to be suspicious when male callers continued ringing Feldman’s phone at all hours of the night, asking for Sam or Joe or Pete. She called the police.
Now it’s all straightened out, and the secretary laughs when she tells about the night some man called 15 times in succession, refusing to believe she wasn’t the housemother.
The right phone number at Willard is Richmond 88033, and the voice that answers is bass, strictly bass.

Dental Clinic Tour Impresses Staffer
by Dor tha Fox
The outside of the new dental building looks somewhat unfinished. Freshly planted grass is just beginning to grow. Very little landscaping has been done as yet, outside of planting of the lawn.
I entered and walked through a room that ran almost the entire length of the building. It was filled with shiny, complicated mechanical contraptions, commonly knowrn as dentists’ chairs. After wandering into several more rooms, I finally found the one for which I was looking, the dean’s office.
Dentistry Dean
Robert W. McNulty has been dean of the School of Dentistry two years. Before coming to SC, he was dean of the Loyola School of Dentistry in Chicago.
Secretary to the dean, Isobel Boland, is a small, neat, darkhaired woman. She greeted me pleasantly, and introduced her assistant, Nadine Beam. Miss Beam cordially agreed to take

The Trojan war flag, w'hich was presented to the university last fall and which was to be flown after every Troy football victory, was conspicuously absent yesterday after the victory over Washington State.
Some students wondered whether a football jinx surrounded the banner. Troy won seven straight games using a tattered banner for a victory marker last season. She lost the remaining games after the new banner w-as flown before the Stanford game.
Knight President Jim Cooke, w-hose organization was entrusted with the flag last spring, could shed little light on the “missing banner” caper when questioned yesterday.

“We have a committee working on the problem right now but so far they haven’t been able to turn anything up,” he added. “We don’t know whether it was one of our students or one from a rival school that made off with the loot.”

The war flag is 9 by 15 feet, cardinal and gold in color, and has a big Trojan helmet in the center.
Sen. Nixon's Campaign Hurt By Money Charges—Rodee
Accusations that Republican vice-presidential candidate Richard Nixon misspent or was officially influenced by the $18,000 he received from private sources in southern California will prove damaging to the GOP cause in the coming campaign. Carlton C. Rodee. professor of political science. said in an interview.

this reporter on a tour through the dental clinic.
Office Staff Before we left, Miss Boland stated the clinic contains more square feet than Founders hall, and two more stories are to be added, as there are no lecture rooms in the building. It has |in office staff of 50 persons, 120 faculty members, 202 students, and 25 dental hygienists who work in the clinic as well as attend class.
Then the tour began. We en tered the tumor clinic. This department is run by one doctor and a lab technician. All suspicious oral growths are examined and diagnosed here.
Diagnosis
The mouth of every patient entering the clinic is X-rayed and diagnosed. For each of these two phases there is a separate room. The diagnosis department can take care of 11 patients at a time.
There are two long rooms with dentists’ chairs, a total of 114 chairs. The end section of one room is used for children’s dentistry. Each room is divided into three sections; each section takes care of a different phase of dentistry, such as gum diseases, crown and bridge work, and full mouth dentures.
Surgery Room
The surgery room contains seven seats. About 38 operations are performed a day. There are six student workers and two or three instructors.
Helen Grace, in charge of the reception desk, told us 60 to 90 patients come to the clinic each day. She also said that although the clinic had been open officially less than a week, it has been operating for almost seven weeks.
Dentures
From the reception desk we made our way to the section where the first forms for dentures are made. Bob McKaig, senior, was in the process of making a partial splint. He explained that each student makes his own first forms. These impressions of the mouth are made of a yellow semi-liquid cement substance. Af-tei’ the forms harden, they are sent to the casting department and cast in gold.
Joe H. McNaul has been doing all the csating for the clinic for about three years. He casts from 30 to 40 plates a month; other clinics cast around 20 a month. Besides his job of casting, McNaul sometimes has as many as 35 students a day come in for information.
