Aviation Fraternity
Has First Chapter Here
The University of Miami has the honor of being the first school in the United States to start an Aviation Fraternity. This new fraternity, “Omricon Pi,” which, translated, means “Birds of a Feather,” will establish the Alpha chapter here and plans are being made to establish chapters in all the big schools in the country.
Vincent A. Jablon, a member of the fraternity and representative of the Curtiss Airplane and Motor Company, specializing in Challenger engines, attempted to bring a Challenger airplane here after the Christmas vacations, to use in the University flying field. He started from Roosevelt Field in New York, but, driving into an air pocket, was driven forty miles off his course and fell in a muddy field in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Remington, Va. He crated the parts of the airplane and had it sent to the University, where it is being repaired and will be used soon in the University flying Held. Cut rates will be given in instruction snd passenger service to aviation and other students of the University.
