Airport To End Isolation Era
Going away for the week-end? In the future, you will be

inhabitants
. of the town. Un
:ler the. direction of Sherm
Lutz, instructor at the State Col
lege Air Depot in Boalsiburg, the
project was started in April and
will be ready for service by tin
'end of the summer, though fly
ing runways will be graded in
several weeks.
The flying field• which is one
miles from the center of town
'and across from the Golf Course,
will have landing space for
medium transports for chatter
service and larger ones for vaca
tions, seating anywhere from 22
to 54 passengers. Stopping points
will occur at Pittsburgh, Harris
burg, Wilkes Barre, Buffalo and
wherever demands are great.
"Parents living 200 miles away
can drop in for a week-end and
students will eventually be able
to reach the farthest part of
Pennsylvania in an hour," Lutz
predicted. "There will even be a
time when "airtels" will provide
hotel accomodations right at the
field with modern restaurants,
waiting rooms not to mention
tennis courts."

Veterans Add
New Course
Veterans at , the College have
added a new course to the cur
riculum. It's victory gardening.
In comMand of the project is
Howard N. Dudley HI, of Chester,
an Army Air Corps veteran and
experienced gardener.
Sixty of the more than • 100
families residing - at Windcrest,
camptis trailer community, have
already' planted their gardens
and stil others are seeking 'plots.
Dudley, who looks back on a
full decade of summer gardening,
says experierite is lacking among
the ex-Gl's but that their inter
est and enthusiasm is intense.
"During the - war," Dudley exr
plains, "these boys were two busy
digging foxholes and raising
havoc with enemy line's to gain
experience in gardening. But
they're interested and they'll
learn."
Dudley's wife, like the wives of
other veterans, plans to lend , a
helping hand. She also goes to
college, and. is 'a senior in the
home economics curriculum.
Dudley, however, doesn't think
he'll need her help.
.``Let her concentrate on the
cooking," is his ad /ice.

Flying School
Director Lutz is best known to
the students of the College as the
man who teaches them how to
fly. Shei'm has been running a
flying school right outside of
Boalsburg since 1931. The flying
school has become almost a tradi
tion on the campus; many stud=
ents find it possible to take flying
lessons while going to school and
'make the grade as a private pilot
in one semester. In fact, a good
many of Shenm's old boys were
army and navy pilots, in .the war.
The flying school has-four two
seater, dual - control A e r o n c a
trainers. It takes a student 32 fly
ing hours to get his license under
the Civilian Aeronautics Author
ity regulations. He must solo
after eight hours in the air with
'an instructor. Sherin's field has
never had an accident among his
student pilots. •
"It's hard to estimate how many
students have taken their private
licenses at the field," Sherm says.
"You can get your license in as
much or as little time as you
want. It's possible to learn how to
fly in your free time, and, includ
ing bad weather, you can get your
license in about three months if
you fly several hours a week."
Cross-Country
While the reporter was talking
to Sherm, a plane landed. It was
one of the student pilots coming
back from his first cross-country
flight, this time with an.instruc
tor. He had flown from Tyrone
to Lock Haven and then back to
the flying field. The cross-coun
try flight is just about the last
test before the student receives
his license.
The student was Norris Prior,
and ROTC at the College, and he

was rather weary from all that
accumulated almost enough hours
by coming out to the field on
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and
Sunday afternoons for the past
few months. A sixth semester
history major, Norris says that he
is learning to fly just for the fun
of it—just another guy who was
bitten by the flying bug.
Learning to Fly
A great many of the students at
the College have the same ideas
as Norris in wanting to fly. At
present Sally Von Neida and
Sarah Barham, sixth semester
flying, but eager to take the flight
alone. Norris takes flying lessons
in his free afternoons, and has
coeds are taking lessons. Leonard
Ray, NROTC; and: Robert Der
rick, an architectural engineering
student, to name just a few, are
learning how to fly, at the field.
Even the professors get the urge
to fly. For example, Floyd Carna
han, professor of chemical engin
eerinf, recently got his license at
the field, and Ralph Richardson,
speech instructor, is now taking
lessons.
Another function of the new
field will be to expand the pro
sent facilities for teaching stud
ents to fly. The new location will
make it easier for the students to
get to the field. State College will
be prepared to meet the air age
of the future.
