Graduates Get CAA Training An experiment which might bring thousands of superior high school graduates under the same type of federal pilot training pro gram now operating in colleges is approaching its final test at Al toona. On October 6, examiners for the U. S. Army will submit tests there to a picked group of 21 high school graduates who have been 'given an intensive 12-week “refresher” course by the extension services of the College. If successful in the tests, these youths would be class ed as having the equivalent of two years' college education thus meeting the Army’s basic educa tional requirement for pilot train ees. “The purpose,” said J. O. Keller, assistant to President Ralph D. Hetzel in charge of extension, “is to determine for the Civil Aeron autics Administration if definitely superior high school graduates throughout the country can be made eligible through such courses, thereby supplementing the reservoir of college pilots. CAA officials estimate that such a program might add as many as 20,000 new eligibles per year.” The College is giving instruction at seven non-college centers which are 'located at Matanioras, Sun bury, Dußois, Waynesboro, Con nellsville, Somerset, and Oil City. Altogether there are 12 non-college centers in the state and 200 in the nation. 21 Students Take Drivers' Training For the first time, 23 Penn State students have enrolled in the State College Safe Driver Training Course which started last week.

Chief of Police John R. Juba estimated that approximately 10Q student-owned cars were tagged. Violators were informed by the tags that, “This first card is a warning . . . You will be fined $2 if this -ticket is not signed and re turned to the Police Office within 48 hours.” If the tag is returned to the Police Office by tonight, no fine will he levied. Each car owner is required to state the reason for his parking on the street.
