TUESDAY, APRIL .8, 1948 Inmates Practice nn Auto Engin. Rockview Inmates Learn College Technical Courses Rehabilitation and recreation, rather than professional training, can serve as important objective of the College's courses—as shown by the evening classes taught by faculty members at nearby Rock= view Penitentiary. Of the five courses offered each week during the regular senies- ter, automotive engine mechanics on Tuesday and Friday evenings, is one of the more popular. In November and December of last year, Prof. Wane, G. C. Thorny son of mechanical engineering showed his class of le to 24 men government films on the con struction of automobile engines and the process of tearing down and reassembling the engines. Four Engines Studied ' At present the class is learning that "operation: building-up" is more complicated than dismount.. ing, as final assembly nears com pletion. A gang of five men each works on one of four engines supplied by the College. Tools and other equipment are also fur nished by the M.E. department. Several inmates who formerly worked as auto engine mechanics are taking the course as a re fresher. In the past, after being released from Rockview several men have obtained mechanics Jobs as a result of this course. One lesson the observer can lear n is the co-operative, chummy spirit of each gang composed of both white and Negro men. Welding Most Popular On the same two nights a class in mining foremanship is con ducted by Robert B. Hewes of Mineral Industries extension. On Sunday a two-section class in welding is offered by Peter W. Knepp of industrial engineering. On Monday and Wednesday evenings, Prof. Paul H.
