SC Jet Jockey Degree Available Through New Air Force Program
By ANDY ARLOTTO
A new dimension has been added to SC’s kaleidoscope of courses. The SC student is no longer earthbound to geology, physics, or General Studies 204a. He can now literally take wings and fly—at SC’s newest campus addition—the Santa Monica Municipal Airport.
Three Trojans have already registered for this sky high, rocket-fast course which leads to a degree as jet jockey ih the U.S. Air Force,
These space-minded students are Advanced Air Force ROTC cadets taking advantage of the Air Force’s new Flight Instruction Program. Cadets Gale Ferguson, Howard Hamer and Robert Eberle started flight training recently and hope to complete 35 hours of flying instruction before the semester end».
Get Pilot Certificates
Upon completion of FIP. the three cadets will receive CAA private pilot certificates.
SC’ AFROTC Detachment G(J combined forces with Loyola University’s AII^OTC detachment to bring FIP to Southern California. Both schools share the flight facilities and instruction supplied by Santa Monica Flyers, a flying school owned by Chuck and Betty Miller.
Nine aircraft: five instructors; a bright, clockwork-sharp control center-office; a clear blue sky; and wide landing strip make up the Miller classroom.
A man and wife team, both Millers are expert pilots and instructors. Mrs. Miller has been cited by experts as a hot contender in the coming Powder Puff Derby.
Santa Monica Flyers operate out of the Clover Leaf at the Santa Monica Municipal Airport.
Lt. Col. John A. Newbauer, professor of air science at Det. 60. explained that FIP (Flight Instruction Program) was instituted by the Air Force “to motivate qualified Air ; Force ROTC cadets to a career in the U.S. Air Force.” The colonel stressed the program's main design—more high quality jet jockeys to add punch to the Air Force’s "strength for peace.”
Tests Required
FIP is available* to a*ll students enrolled in SC's AFROTC advanced training and who are physically qualified for category I, pilot.
Trojans entering the AFROTC program are eligible lor flight training while attending their regular classes.
These future pilots begin flight training in their junior or senior year after they have passed Air Force physicals, stanine tests and sign a contract to serve as rated officers in the Air I < rce for five years upon graduation fro mSC.
With six hours of flight instruction under his belt. Cadet Major Gale Ferguson eagerly outlined FIP and what this new flight instruction is doing for him. Slowly unzipping his flight suit. Ferguson nodded toward a long line of bright orange, singie-engined light aircraft (Cessna 120's) and said. “There are mv desk and books,” and pointing out at a bright, blue, cloudless sky, “that's my classroom.”
Ferguson explained that he's presently "jusi getting the feel for flying.
Much to Learn
“In six hours I've learned preflight inspection procedures. how to start, and stop the engine, taxiing technique, level flight techniques and many other things necessary in flying,” he said.

Buggs. executive secretary of

We have not learned how to I.ve together in j>eace and harmony and we will never do so unless we perform a ‘self-operation and remove our various prejudices."
“All groups are against each other." he continued. “It is not. something we are born with but something that we grow up with. Until we do perfcrm this operation. it will be quite som*1 time until all persons call belili to enjov the tuli fruifs of democracy ."
A member of the National Association ioi the Advancement

“There are three groups which . have differing attitudes iealing ; with the problem." he said. '‘Ti'.e j optimistic ‘we are ahead' group, I hr 'we are behind' pessimists | and the realists who compromise i the ideals of both the optimists ' and the pessimists."
