Drivers returning by the Lewistown mountain route have similar stories, to relate. Drivers-with even a minimum of gray matter went easy on the gas and brakes.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 29, 1949 PRICE FIVE CENTS IFC Cited for Organization Flying Club Offers Students Cheap Rates By TRACY McCORMICK The Penn State Flying Club offers one of the best opportuni ties to prospective flyers in the country. When the National In tercollegiate Flying Club met re cently in Ann ’ Arbor, Michigan, Hank Meyers, president of the Penn State Club, found that his club was, the most inexpensive, economical one in the organiza tion. Some of their success is due to ■ lucky breaks, but most of it should be credited to clever or ganization and efficient manage ment. “The whole idea in forming the club was to teach interested stu dents to fly at the cheapest rates possible,” said Hank at the Belle fonte airport. “The four of us who organized it, were too broke to learn individually. So we scouted around until we found an airport that would give a fly ing club a break.” Hank Meyers is a short, stocky guy, with earnest blue eyes. Dur ing the week he is a‘hard working senior engineering student, but on the weekends he and his young wife leave the books and head for the airport, where they spend most of the time. The club has forty-five active members at _present including three girls. Each member pays News Briefs Ag Ee Club _ Students and professors are in vited to attend a meeting of the Agricultural Economics Club at the Tau Kappa Epsilon fratern ity at 7:30 tonight.

"iV'" $125 initiation fee which he gets back when he leaves. This is con sidered as a share in the club, which he sells either back to the club or to a student who wants to join. The ultimate cost, then, is the price of the approximately forty hours in the air that it takes to get a private pilot’s license plus monthly dues, all of which adds up to about $l4O. Over one-hundred members have gotten private licenses since the club was granted a college charter in 1946. Since then the club has bought three planes: a Tailorcraft, a Cub, and a four passenger cabin cruiser. “The chief problem of the club is one of transportation,” said Hank. “The airport is ten miles from State College and hard to get to by bus. Most of the fellows hitch-hike out if they can’t get a ride with a member. Of course, the girls have a little trouble.” Hank would like to see about five more ppople in the club, making the active members total fifty. Now the active members aren’t all students but include some enthusiastic older residents of Bellefonte and State College. The enthusiasm among all the members and their eagerness to cooperate with club plans serve as a barometer for the club’s suc cess.
