59m Detachment At

State One Year OldThis week the 59th College

Training Detachment observed itsfirst anniversary. On March 1,1943, the first group of AviationStudents arrived at this detachmentto start their pre-cadet training.

Since then over two thousandmen have been graduated from thisdetachment to more advancedphases of their air crew training.Although relatively young, the

59th has set an enviable record.Many of its- graduates have heldpositions as cadet officers through-out their training, consequently re-flecting the thorough military in-doctrination they received duringtheir stay at this detachment.The important task of adminis-

tering the 59th C.T.D. and its tensquadrons of aviation students hasbeen entrusted to five officers, whohave merited much praise for theefficient and capable manner inwhich they. have undertaken theirassignments. ‘The 59th is commanded by

Major James L. Bonner, a veteranof the last war, who rose throughthe ranks to his present position.Major Bonner is a native of FortWorth, Texas. An officer in WorldWar 'I, the Major was recalled toactive duty on April 8, 1942, withthe rank of Captain. His last as-signment was at the 24th C.T.D.of Davidson College where he waspromoted to his present rank onFebruary 11, 1943. Major Bonnerarrived at the 59th last November7 to take up his duties as Com-manding Officer.Other officers include Captain

David Kleiman, Medical Officer;1st Lt. Samuel J. Hoffman, Tac-tical Officer of Group I; Lt. FrancisR. Shea, Mess Officer; Lt. WilliamR. Cox, Personnel Officer; and Lt.Henry A. Frosch, Public Relations

ence and Tactics at A. and T. Col-lege in Greensboro.

Since last spring the unit hasbeen forced to operate under highlyadverse conditions because it wasthen that the cadet officers werecalled into military service. Thisnecessitated a complete reorganiza-tion at the beginning of the sum-mer term and those cadets whowere nearer completion of the basiccourse were chosen as officers. An-gus Gillis, a sophomore fromCharleston, W. Va., was selectedat that time to serve as cadet-colonel.

Since then it has been the policyto completely reorganize the unit atthe beginning of each term becausemany of the cadets fail to returneach term.The situation was greatly re-

lieved last fall when the cadet of-ficers who had been called away inthe spring returned to the campusto pursue their” studies under theA.S.T.P. program. Although theywere no longer officers in theR.O.T.C., these men were wellversed in basic course studies andserved capably as instructors bothon the drill field and in the class-rooms.At the beginning of the current

school year there were about 526students enrolled in the basicR.O.T.C. course, but since that timethe enrollment has fallen off toabout 350. The depletion in theranks was caused by the draft andvarious other factors brought onby the war.

In spite of all the obstacles, how-Officer. ever, the unit has maintained its

high standards and has offered /numerous valuable courses of study

P which are especially helpful tothose men who expect to enter any

j'. branch of the service soon." Today’s activities will begin witha call by the inspectors on Dr.Fisher, Coordinator of MilitaryActivities at State College, afterwhich the various classes will dem-onstrate their proficiency in thevarious courses of study.Between 11:10 and 12:00 there

will be a battalion parade, followedby a formal inspection of the ranks.The remainder of the afternoon willbe spent in determining the degreeof proficiency with -which thesophomores have mastered theirmilitary classroom studies.

In past years there was a great. . . deal of competition between the_ f; : infantry unit and the signal corps

very inspiring speech by Mary Mol-ing Kirkman, an active member ofthe Wesley Foundation at Wom-an’s College in Greensboro. Sheused as her subject, “Making theBest of Our Opportunities.”

Pete Strum, Chairman of Recre-ation for the Foundation, and hiscommittees made all arrangementsfor the banquet. Marjorie Blum(Meredith) and Carl Walker werein charge of decorations. The ideaof a Leap Year banquet was sug-gested by Pfc. Hugh Cazel, traineein A.S.T.P. at State. These andothers assisted by Mr. Winkler,Counselor for Recreation, and MissJuanita Stott, Director of the Wes-ley Foundation, were responsiblefor this delightful banquet.

Plans for future activities arenow being mapped out by the offi-cers of the Wesley Foundation.Watch for announcements of fur-ther entertainments.

Devils Given Close Call ByScrappy Red TerrorsThe Red Terrors of State made

a very impressive showing in theSouthern Conference Tournamentlast week end. From a green bunchof beginners last January, theycame into the tournament with skillthat could only be attained in theschool of hard-knocks. The fans, aswell as the press, agreed that theRed Terrors were a surprisinglyformidable five.The Old Liners of Maryland

were the first to feel the wrath ofCoach Jay’s ,crew. In the openingnight of the tournament, the RedT e r r o r 3 completely outclassedMaryland 42-23. Goals by Tamer,Carpenter, and ‘Kohler gave Statea 10-0 lead in less than five min-utes. The play slowed up duringthe remainder of the half. Greatdefensive work by the boys in redgave them a 19-7 lead at inter-mission.

During the last period the playof both teams remained about thesame. Turner was high scorer with

State and Duke played the bestgame of the tournament. The cham-pion Blue Devils staved of a lasthalf rally to win 40-32. At thebeginning, it looked as if the Dukeswould win in a walk.

Heretofore, Mr. Dunlap said, themill superintendents and managershave been men who have workedtheir way up in the industry; how-ever now, greater technical knowl-edge is required of men in key po-sitions; therefore college-trainedmen are, and will be in greaterdemand.
