CAA Courses Will Train Over 15,000
Washington, D. C. (A.C.P.) — Opening of the spring semester in 700 American colleges brought with it opportunity for 15,000 more students to “win their wings.”
That is the quota of scholarships for preliminary ground school and flight training under the program sponsored by the Civil Aeronautics Administration. Five thousand who completed the preliminary course in previous terms are being selected for advanced training.
The preliminary course comprises 72 hours of ground school work in civil air regulations, navigation, meteorology, and affiliated courses. Simultaneously, the stu-den receives a minimum of 35 hours of flight instruction. After eight hours of such instruction in a dual control plane, he may be allowed to begin solo work.
The ground school is conducted at the college, and flight training is taken at a nearby airport selected by the school.

Debaters Meet Penn, Wheaton
Stuart LaMotte and Irving Leb-owitz, University of Miami orators, participated in debates against the University of Pennsylvania and Wheaton College last Thursday and Friday in the Card room of the Administration Build ing. Both debates were non-decision, with Miami upholding the negative side of the question, resolved : that the nations of the Western Hemisphere should form a permanent union.
The debate squad will see action again February 25, when Spring Hill College of Mobile. Alabama, will come here. Irving Lebowitz has been named varsity debate manager, replacing Larry Ropes, who graduated this month.
Most of the team’s debates this year will be of the non-decision variety; authorities have recognized the fact that in non-decision debates the true facts are presented, and opportunities for impressing audiences and winning debates are eliminated.
Prom Will Feature Boles and Morgan
Russ Morgan and his national ly-famous orchestra will play “Music in the Morgan Manner” tomorrow night at the Coral Gables Country Club from 10 to 2, when the Junior Class of the University of Miami presents its fourteenth annual Junior Prom. As a special added attraction, John Boles, singing star of Paramount pictures, stage, and radio will make a personal appearance, and in his capacity of King of the 1941 Junior Prom will choose his own Prom queen from the girls present.
Morgan’s orchestra, which makes recordings for Decca and which played for two years on a regular weekly radio program, features George Henry, Clarence Melter, and Bill Campion, vocalists; Johnny May, versatile drummer; and Jana, lightning sketch artist. Morgan has recently completed outstanding engagements at Tampa’s Gasparilla Ball, Paramount Theatre.
International Casino, and French Casino in New York; Rice Hotel in Houston; Chez Paree in Chicago; and Claridge Hotel in Memphis. His orchestra is noted for its soft, sweet swing music.
Boles, who is appearing here through the courtesy of Paramount Enterprises, is stopping in Miami on his way home from a South American tour. His singing pictures have been very popular; he has been a star of screen and radio.
Co-chairmen Marvin Goldman and Tommy Kent, along with class president Don Chadder-don, made an important announcement last night concerning senior admission. Only seniors graduating this June and. law school seniors graduating in June will be admitted free of charge as guests of the junior class. Their nonsenior dates must pay. February and summer school graduates will	Russ Morgan
have to pay regular admission prices of $3.30 per couple and $2.20 stag. Tickets will be on sale all day Friday in the Junior Prom office, room 325. Seniors must obtain tickets in Prom room before Friday night. Co-chairman Goldman also announced that in case of inclement weather, the dance would be held in the inside ballroom of the Country Club rather than the outdoor dance patio.
Souvenir programs and special favors will be given to those attending the Prom. As the year’s biggest dance on the University’s social calendar, the Prom presents the first real “big-name” dance band to play at a University function. Last year’s prom featured Enoch Light.
John Boles is expected to arrive shortly after 11 p.m., and around midnight, he will announce his choice for Junior Prom Queen.

“ If you’ve been to the Fair you’ll remember it as the exhibit with all the crowds and lines you" had to buck, but which was worth it after all. And if you haven’t been, well, it’s a conglomeration of all of the most interesting, amazing, and new inventions and discoveries. The gadgets look and behave like something out of “Amazing Thriller” or ,‘Wonder Stories.”
They cook eggs on floating saucepans, have talking flashlights, clothes made of glass and skimmed milk, suspend objects in mid air with only molecules or electricity (or something) holding them up—all in all, you’ll leave with your jaw hanging and a firm resolve to take up science as your life’s work.
Besides this they have models of Edison’s first lamp and Bell’s first telephone, and some of the most intelligent and attractive
