Elizabethan tragedy, "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus," the Foot- light Club's Festival production, to be presented Saturday evening.
The opening feature of the two week Fine Art's Festival, the play will be followed by a two week program of music, art and lectures, culminating 1n the annual exhibit of student work in the Ceramic Design Department.
Monday, May 29.
The cast of the Footlight Club's pro- duction of "Faustus," headed by Mich- ael Lax as Faustus and Dr. Wayne Hood aS'Mephistophilis, includes for- ty-two students and1 faculty members.
The play will be repeated at 4 p.m., Sunday after its opening night per- formance at 8:15 p.m., Saturady.
"Faustus," written by the sixteenth century playwright, Christopher Mar- lowe, is being staged in what Profes- eor C. Duryea Smith of the Speech and Drama department describes as
"an extension of the Elizabethan type of staging."
Professor Ronald Brown of the Speech and Drama department is tech- incal director, and Phyllis Rudner, '53 is assistant director. Sets are by Rich- ard Homer, '52, lighting by Francis Pixley, '51, costumes by Thomas Van- Duesen, masks for the Sins by Rob- ert Chapman CS, and Janice Swain, '61.
There are no conventional sets, but rather several levels, each one, as in The Elizabethan theatre representing a type of place. The comedy scenes are played, both physically and dramati- cally on a low' level, the playing'area extending into the audience; and Hell is some nebulous region under the stage.
The play, second of Marlowe's four tragedies, was written in 1588 or 1589, and first performed at about the same time. It was acted by the 'Lord Ad- miral's Servants,' at the Curtain Thea- tre in Shoreditch. Based on an English translation of the Faust legend, titled
"The History of the Damnable Life and the Deserved' Death of Dr. John Faustus." it tells the story of a'man, who, thirsting for knowledge, sells, his soul, to the Devil, and is finally de- stroyed by his seeking. It is, rather than a regular play, a series of scenes, and has many elements of the earlier forms of English, Drama. There is, for

He was elected unopposed at last Tues- day's staff meeting.
Changing its policy from past years, the staff voted to re-elect William Spangenberg '51 business manager for one more semester. Previously all edi- torial positions were filled for one year only and no provision was made for re-election.
Elected to other offices were: Man- aging Editor.

Lillian Falcone '52 was elected to the newly created poition of Exchange Editor. Paul Gignac '53 was named Photographic Editor, a position which had been vacant this year.
At Wednesday's banquet feteing the old and' new staffs, two members re- ceived awards for service to the Fiat during the past year. They are Wil- liam Flagg AT, reporter and Georgia Smith '52, circulation manager. The awards of $.10 each were presented by retiring editor Jeanette Klimajeski
•50.
Speaker Lance Zavits, staff member of the Buffalo Evening News told those assembled that we should place less stress on material rewards and more emphasis on service as we go into the
•world. He commented on several of his past experiences.
Melko began work on the Fiat in his freshman year as a reporter and suc- ceeded to News Editor as a sophomore.
During the current term he has ser- ved as one of two Co-Managing Edi- tors. This marks the first time since 1946-47 that a male has headed the Fiat staff.
Prinr to Tuesday's elections five members were named to the staff.
They are: Neil August '52. Brison.
"William Gallow '51, Gardner and Thomas Hopson AT.

Annual Mathematics Contest Scheduled
The annual mathematics contest sponsored jointly by the math depart- ment and the Zeno Club will be held at 8 p.m., Thursday in the Physics,Hall, it'was announced this week by Irwla Miller '50 contest chairman.
Open to all students1 who have not had calculus, the contest will be "on the elementary level and will require no special preparation," Miller stated.
First place winner will be awarded
$10 while the runner-up will receive a book of tickets to the Campus Theatre.
In announcing the contest Miller stressed that it is open to the whole campus and urged students to enter by leaving their names with any member of the mathematics faculty.
Don't bother studying next weekend, go to "Dr. Faustus." It is billed as a super supernatural performance.
25 students have registered compared with 100 lasi^ year.
He attributed the lag to rumors that students who have donated blood have had to pay for transfusions. "The probable reason they have had to pay,"
he said, "is because the blood was ad- ministered to them outside the Nation- al Blood Program area.
"Within our area a fee of approxi- mately $8 is charged for administer- ing the transfusion. If the blood it- self were paid for, the cost would be as high as $25," he said.
Parish has spoken to students in many fraternities, sororities and dor- mitories in attempts to squelsh the rumors that students have been re- quired to buy blood after donating to the blood bank.
The thermometer went up Mon- day to show the number of volunteers and will remain up today to indicate the number of donors. Assisting the Bloodmobile staff will be local units of Nurses Aides, Gray Ladies and Al- pha Phi Omega service fraternity .
"The need for blood is particularly acute," according to Mrs. Verlee O.
Linderman. Alfred branch chairman of the Wellsville chapter of the American Red Cross. She listed four reasons why the region's supply recently fell below the 250-pint danger line:
1. The Bloodmobile hfs encountered 25 percent rejections recently because of the influenza epidemic.
2. Albumin, wihich is being used more by hospitals, requires blood from four donors for one unit of albumin.
3. Hospitals in the 13-county region now are using more than 30,0'QO pints of blood annually.
V4. The Blood center in Rochester is, being moved to make way for the School for American Craftsmen.
The branch chairman explained that some persons from. AUegany County recently have had to pay for plasma in Buffalo because that center will not open until May 15. She said payment for plasma will not be required after that *ate.
Malaria victims now may donate blood, although previously they have been rejected. Mrs. Linderman said the blood is used for vacination pur- poses.

Bartlett Boys Use Showers To Clean Their Filthy Bones
It smelled like rotten potatoes being boiled on the Second floor of Bartlett one night last week. The residents, having recently become quite sensitive
• lors. were again rudely inter- rupted in the midsit of card games, bull sessions, studies or. sleep. Trac- ing the pernicious odor to its source, they flocked into the lavatory which was filled with steam from a shower the odor was there in terrifying quan- tities.
From somewhere within there came a sombre chant of "Dry Bones." Then two silhouettes were seen moving a- bout and someone demanded that they reveal what was going on. They came up garbed in towels like emissaries from Bali Hai and glowed1 with enthu- siasm. Two freshmen were held in the process of cleaning horse bones which they had dug up from a near by cattle grave.
They had stumbled upon it in a hike, and there was a huge horse's skull as well as enough other bones to make a complete skeleton. They are now as- sembling it in their spare time and when last heard from, they were seri- ously considering the possibility of ex- hibiting their specimen in one of the buildings on campus.
Stopper To Advise AT Student Council
Instructor William Stopper has been appointed advisor of the Ag-Tech stu- dent council. The announcement was made this week by Director Paul B.
Orvis.
Stopper will be advisor to the coun- cil in the absence of H. Leigh Woehl- ing who will be on leave from, the Institute for graduate study.
"Mr. Stopper has keen interest in the problems of young people and is well qualified to assume his new re- sponsibility," said Orvis. Stopper came to the campus in 1946 and ia head of the poultry department.
Stan Garr, successor to John Barnes of local newspaper filler columns, says, "Who was standing by th donuts in the Union when the lights went out?"
Interclass, Intra-Sex Competition Gets Rough
The pushball maintains a level a- bove human conflict as the frosh meet the sophomores in a pitched battle this Thursday afternoon. The Frosh are winning as usual. In the picture at the right, the girl's softball con-
est gets under way. (See Barb Shack- son's column, page 4.) The Girls game developed into a free-for-all when Jean Hunt, pictured at the plate, became incensed at the umpire's decision on the first pitch. He called it a ball and
Miss Hunt said "of course it's a ball any one can see that but what's the decision?" Pictures were developed by new, secret futra foto process develop- ed by Paul Gignac,- new photography editor.

The Numbers Racket
The most idiotic of holidays, if such it can be called, is back again. Thursday about 200 blood thirsty freshmen will push, throw and bludgeon some 80 foolhardy sophomores into a three foot pool of water, pushing them under again if they have the gall to come up for air. The sophs, unabashed, will crawl out of the pool and straggle down to the practice field, where the frosh will rub their noses into the diet. A blunt instrument, in the form of a six foot canvas ball, will be their major weapon.
The excuse for this collective madness is class spirit. Well, it's all right if you enjoy that sort of thing, so long as this tattered banner of class spirit doesn't cover too much territory.
It covers too much territory when it covers the sides of buildings in the form of large painted numerals. Lest we forget, one of the func- tions of Moving Up Day is to get the campus to clean up the mess that has been accumulating on the other 364 days. Spilling paint all over the place doesn't particularly help the situation. If you feel like painting numbers on their foreheads. This is socially acceptable.
Fred Palmer points out that painting numbers is going to be as futile as it is silly. He's going to do all in his power to get the num- bers removed before 8 a.m. If you are still determined to paint, Mr.
Palmer advises against the use of oil or water paint. "Use invisible ink," he says.
No Smoking
"No," to use a double negative and get away with it, is not a happy word. If used to negate a request, it carries the implication of disappointment; if given as a command, it breeds rebellion.
For instance, the parental "No," used indiscriminately on-child- ren and dogs, is usually followed by the child or the dog doing what- ever it had intended to do in the first place. This reaction may also be elicited by signs that say "No Smoking."
These signs, which now decorate certain black-boards, have been ordered by the administration because cigarettes are considered a fire hazard and because professors reputedly object to having their class rooms littered with debris and filled with smoke from previous classes.
The latter is a valid objection. It is also impractical to allow smoking in the larger class rooms. In the Our Cultural Heritage l-£
class (Civililzation to everyone but the catalogue writers), there would soon be such a smog that everyone co\ald sneak out before the lecture was over.
But in small classes where ten or a dozen students are involved, smoking adds to that informality of approach which distinguishes Alfred from the factory colleges. In classes of this size; where 'discus- sion is usually encouraged, tension is relieved and enjoyment in- creased when the students and prof can puff on their weeds or woods.
There is some danger of fire, that is true. A building like Alumni Hall could go up—whoooosh—just like that. But this hasn't happened yet. An occasional warning of the danger of fire would be more effec- tive than the aggregation of "No" signs that have been so strategical- ly displayed.
(Whatt is likely to happen, perhaps is already happening, is that professors in the small classes are going to take the lead in violating this ukase. When this happens, the law should be modified.
If faculty members in small class rooms are willing to take the responsibility for seeing that butts and ashes are properly deposited, there is no reason why they and their students should not be allowed to smoke.
This is a minor matter, really. But it is important as an example of what Dr. Burdick was discussing with the Senate last week, the need for understanding and cooperation between the administration
and the students.
Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor,
In answer to last week's letter in the Fiat, may I make myself clear on World Federalism.
Of course it is unlikely that guilt by association will hold up in the courts.
However, the fact remains that some of the officials of the United World Federalists, Inc. have been shown by the House Un-American Activities Committee to be members of Com- munist Front Organizations. This is sufficient to keep me apart from the U. W. F.
I believe that United World Feder- alism is a kind of escapism. Instead of concerning themselves with the per- tinent issues of the day, the advocates of world government try to escape into a never-never land of ideal schemes and turn away from reality.
The social, political, and economic interests of the world are too diverse to ever come together successfully in a world federation. You cannot change the way of living of the peo- ple of the world with a few changes in the charter of the UN; you cannot blueprint culture.
World federalism will not work!
Chickie Ballman, '52.

A Delightful Place
Mrs. "Mac," the Doctor, Mrs. Mann andtthe others - Barbara and Marge; they all work at the Clawson Infirmary and make it one of the most pleasant places we've seen around campus.

Rulebooks Proclaim: Freshmen Must Wear Black Stockings, Ties; Emphasis On Study
By Prank Bredell
Speaking of rules, as no one was, we came up with a few inter- esting ones recently when we found an 1936-37 frosh handbook.
Probably the freshmen were more bogged down with regulations than anyone else with such laws as these:
"All freshmen shall wear the regu- lation cap or toque (freshmen girls the beret) throughout the first semes- ter, until Movlng-Up Day. Freshmen shall wear black ties, as shall fresh- men women when wearing apparel with which ties are worn. However both freshmen, men and women shall be excused from wearing black hose after semester vacation and black ties after Easter vacation."
"Freshmen shall neither smoke, nor chew tobacco, except in private dwell- ings and Burdick Hall, and all Uni- versity students including students of N. Y. S. A. and A. H. S. (in case you didn't know, those used to be the initials of the Ag-Tech.) Seniors, jun- iors and sophomores may smoke on the athletic field at any time and that the Davis Field House ,(the Men's Gym to you) a t any social event other than athletic contests."
"None but seniors shall carry canes." Tut, Tut.
"Freshmen shall be required to hold open the chapel doors every morn- ing until the student body shall have passed out/' Chapel must have#been as bad as current assemblies if the stu- dents had to pass out to avoid them.
"All freshmen are forbidden to wear knickers or white trousers at ANY TIME." Besides that "Freshmen male students are forbidden to wear mus- taches at ANY TIME." Females, it seems had the advantage here, they could wear mustaches if they wanted to.
Closing hours were another thing that must have caused some confusion.
Seniors had 10 p.m., hours Monday through Thursday, 11 p.m.. Friday and Saturday and 10:30, Sunday.
Lower classes had it even worse.
Freshmen had to "be at their place of residence by 5:30 p.m.. except Friday and Sunday nights when the hour shall be 10 p.m., and Saturday night when the hour shall be 10:30 p.m."
Abbsolutely no girl was allowed to be out later than 12:15.
Chaperones appeared to be in style in 1936 as the handbook read, "Any freshman or sophomore going out of
town with an escort in the evening or riding in a car after 6 p.m., must be accompanied by a senior woman."
Useless information in the hand- book included hints on how to study, how to prepare written assignments, the art of memorizing, how to take notes in class1, and preparing for ex- aminations.
It looks, as if the emphasis in those days was , on study, instead of fun.
What a horrible thought.

( Continued from page one) example, a scene, directly descended from the Moralities, in which the Seven Deadly Sins appear.
Marlow himself was a contemporary of Shakespeare, and collaborated with the latter on the first three parts of
"Henry VI" and "Titus Andronicus."
The son of a shoemaker, he was born at Canterbury in 1564. He was edu- cated at the King's School in Canter- bury, and from there went to Benet College, Cambridge, where he took his degree in 1583. He then went to Lon- don, to write for the stage. His first tragedy was "Tamfturlaine the Great,"
written in 1587. He seems to have been a Reformer, who desired to warn the people against presumptous sins, to attact the pride of intellect .that sets God at defiance.

Plans for the new ceramic building have been drawn up for quite some time and last weei the Fiat published a picture of the proposed structure. Now we like to know what the ceramic students think of the plans.
Jack Gardner '50,
"I think it is a very fine building. It will make ceramic education easierfor the students of the future, b u t why didn't they get it done ID time for us? In other words it's 'the nuts'!"
Bob Cotton '50, " I hope to be able to enjoy the new building if they give four years degrees to six year stu- dents."
Dan Harris '51, "I think that it is the greatest thing since the Kanaka- dea started roaring."
Dixie Dixon '50, "An architect's sketch can be deceptive, so it's diffi- cult to judge fairly. To me the inter- nal design is far more important. Let's see some plans of this!"
Miss Clara Nelson, "We have waited 10 years for this new building. Al- though it could have been placed with some appreciation for the surrounding
scenery, it will be wonderful to have it."
Evie Dobson '52, "I think it's out- dated, in fact old before it is even erected."
Jerry Lyons '50, "It's 15 years, be- hind the times."
Randy Webb, "My opinions are 'yes' and1 'no'." ' '

By Boris Astrachan
If you want to read something light- go away. I'm in a mood t o be serious.
If you are too, stick around.
I'd like to dicuss Alfred and other small schools like it. I'll admit that t h e topic's big, but just for the heck of it, I'd like to throw in my two centa worth.
Just what is the purpose of any col- lege? Well, if you'll look in the latest edition of our school's catalogue, you'll find that Alfred's primary aim is to
"develop in its students., first, the pow- er and habit of thorough, clear, and logical thinking and, second high moral character." A very admirable purpose, but unfortunately I feel we're failing in its fulfillment.
Students
Look at our students. Do we think logically, thoroughly and clearly? I say no, and1 I say that a great deal oC the blame lies with the faculty and ad>
ministration of the school. How many students have you met who believe in absolutes; who cannot distinguish be- tween a fact, an inference and a judg- ment; who have an "either-or" philo- sophy of thinking; or who would fol- low Senator McCarthy's false method of identification - "guilt by associa- tion?" How many of us confuse indi- viduals with groups? And how many more of us believe in sweeping genera- lities?
And then most important, how many of us are concerned solely with our own welfare. I've seen students deride the Marshall Plan only because It might interfere with some American industry which they later hope to en-1
ter. I, personally, believe that t h e needs of society are satisfied by She- self-gratification of the individual. But I strongly stress that this self-gratifica- tion must not interfere with the wel- fare of others.
Look at our school spirit. Whenever the welfare of the school might inter- fere with the desires of the individual, which one suffers? Why, it's even ab- surd to ask that question. Naturally the welfare of the school will suffer.
The Alfred student seems, to have an inferiority complex as concern h i s School and1 so he Nonly half-heartedly supports its activities. Then he ra- tionalizes his absence from school functions, by, "I've got work to do."
But compare attendance at a Satur- day or Wednesday movie with t h a t at our ball games or dances. Well, t o state it frankly, if a student is a-
| shamed of his school, he'fl ashamed of
; himself. The student is the school!
And look at the student's reaction
! to the world beyond Ma's. How many j students ever buy a paper or listen t o news broadcasts, and of those who do, how' many students ever get beyond the sports news? The world beyond our front doors affects our every breath, and a student who does not recognize its proximity and its importance can- not hepe to be a dear, thorough or I logical thinker.
Faculty And Administration
That' how I see the student. Now I how is the administration and faculty I to blame? The administration has., in my opinion, fteen following a negative attitude in selecting teachers. "Does.
h<? know his subject? Yeah, well O.K.
then-hired." That's wrong. It should be, "Does he know his subject? Can he teach his subject? Does he have any new ideas? Will he express those j ideas?" If the answers to these ques- tions are yes, hire the man. We don't need teachers, who are followers, we need teachers who are leaders.
How can we expect the student t o develop an active interest in his school and his world, if his teachers- express steriotyped high-school ideas to his supposed adult mentality. "Democracy is good-Communism is bad." Bunk!
Even Communism has some •good' points, but narrow minded, scared tea- chers cannot be expected to say so.
We need as teachers men who will lead us till the point where we mav- think for ourselves, otherwise we make a mockery of our creed, "to develop in its students, first; the power and habit of thorough, clear and logical
ythinking and, second high moral character." (I think this Important and worthy of repetition.)
We must fyrther keep our good1 men.
If l hey are good enough to be hired, they should be good enough to be kept. We should get out of the habit of blithly saying, "Nice having you.
see you around, resignation accepted."
The turnover of teacher* is, again in my opinion, much too rapid.
We should be careful to hire men who will be content to stay at Alfred and teach. We should' of course hold some jobs open for men going for ad- vanced degrees, and then we should try and get these men to stay here permanently. And if necessary, get more money and pay these men more.
Then the administration should keep its hands off the faculty. Once a man has been investigated and hired, he should be allowed to teach as he sees fit. New courses should be instituted"
designed to adapt the student to his environment. •
If the administration and faculty will let us learn something about t h e world and let us learn how to think, we will make a better world than the one its generation left us.

Clock Purchase To Be Settled Plan To Reduce ] Ceramic Education

ate meeting.
Last week Dwight Brown '50 re- ported that the senior class had vetoed the proposal to contribute to the clock fund.
Following Brown's report Carl Mead AT, made a motion to appropri- ate from the Senate treasury what- ever money is needed to purchase the clock. Senators were instructed to dis- cuss the motion in their house meet- ings before voting tonight.
It had been, reported at an earlier Senate session that the clock for the football field would cost about $400.
The proposal to install it has been hanging fire since last year's raffle which netted the fund $167. If the motion is approved tonight the Sen- ate will add from its funds whatever amount is necessary to install the clock.
It was also reported that a complete Scoreboard would cost between $1200 and $2000. No discussion or action was evident after the purchase price was stated.
Appointments
Several appointments to committees, among them the NSA, filled much of Tuesday's meeting.
The NSA appointees are: Phyllis Ballman '52, Dorothy Brion '51, Jane DeFazio AT, Gordon Hill '53, Fred Kalber '53, Vincent Mon'torosso AT, John Snyder AT, Ruth Vail '52, Jos- eph Valvo AT and Donald Van Son AT. Continuing on the committee from the present year are David Pixley '52 and Barbara LaVan '51. Most of the new committee members are not on the Senate.
Audrey Reiss '51 and Peter Sutton AT, were delegated by President Paul Baker <to purchase the cups to be awar- ded for the clean-up and step singing on Moving-Up Day Thursday.
Stanley Higgins '52 was appointed to the Student committee when it was learned that Alan Abrahams would not be returning to the Senate next year.
Heat Wave
Perhaps spurred by the advent of eummer weather and the announce- ment of plans for the new ceramic building, Robert Lober '52 asked the Senate to try to find jobs for students razing Binns Hall. Baker appointed Lober and himself to a committee to
investigate t^ie employment situation on campus during the summer.
During the first few minutes of the meeting Dean H. O. Burdick delivered a brief talk in which he volunteered the cooperation of the deans to Sen- ate. "I am not trying to tell you what to do," he said.-He stated that he only wanted the Senate to be assured of co- operation.
The third mystery in recent weeks was revealed at Senate when it was re- ported by several members that they had received blank post cards, Tues- day. Later this week other people on campus reported that they had also been added to the mailing list. One student reported that the card was ad- dressed perfectly, but he offered no theory as to its sender.
Union Board Waits For New Furniture
Union Board members are engaging in impatient nail-biting as they await the arrival of the new lounge furni- ture. A second grand opening will be held when it is finally received.
The panel of candidates for the new board will be completed at a meeting tonight, according to Barbara Shack- son '52, newly elected chairman of the board. This panel will be presented to the Senate, to be taken back to all resi- dences. Voting will take place at house meetings next week.
Cafeteria manager, Robert Corsaw, wishes to remind students to "take it easy" on the lobby under Burdick Hall, the board said.
A rebuilding and extension program, I necessitated by the plans for new I buildings, will be undertaken this sum-
mer in the University heating plant.
' Plans have been changed, according to President M. Ellis Drake, in elabora- ting on an article he had written earl- ier this year for "Around Alfred," the faculty newspaper.
Original plans have been reduced and the enlarged plant will not ex- ceed $150,000 in cost. The program calls for an extension of the heating plant, located behind Burdick Hall, toward Physics Hall. A new boiler will be added to the pair already in use and the building will be repaired and partially rebuilt.
Plans have been modified so that the bi'ick smoke stack will not be razed. Other limitations will not ma- terially affect the increased capacity of the plant.
The capital for the building project will be supplied by the sale of steam and loans to be amortized over a 20 year period. The state will help pay for steam according to the percentage used i
nstate buildings.

Ag-Tech business department stu- dents started a survey last week of shopping conditions in Wellsville, E.
J. Brown, business department head, announced this week.
The students, under Mr. Brown's di- rection, personally delivered a copy of the survey to over 500 homes. So far over 50 percent of the question- naires have been returned. Two of the students, John Horan and Ernest Kelley, will compile the information obtained from the survey and make an analysis of it for their senior problem.
Questions asked of the Wellsville residents included such subjetcs as their reasons for shopping outside Wellsville; parking conditions; pre- ferred shopping days> and hours; and general background information .
Tennis Squad Downs Ithaca 5-4, Saturday
With a stiff wind which made for many amusing incidents and much frustration, the Alfred varsity tennis squad downed Ithaca College by a score of 5-4. The matches played Sat- urday afternoon, showed a much more spirited squad than the one which, managed to edge out the freshmen Wednesday.
In the first singles match, Tom Mit- chell was defeated by Jack Bialas 6-4, 6-2. Bialas, a better than average ten- nis player had little-trouble after the first set
Carney, Shindler and Flammer, play- ing two, three, and four, respectively, won their matches for Alfred in straight sets. Fran Pixley, after losing his first set by a score of 6-3, played one of his best sets of the season, and undoubtedly the most exciting set of the match as he finally succumbed to
"Red" Fairand 15-13. Chris Braun- schweiger came through in the final singles match to just about • sew up the meet for Alfred as he won in straight sets 6-0, 2-7.
In the tnird doubles, Dave Flammer and Herb Schindler won the match by

"rhubarbs" (missions against enemy transport). He flew 63 P-47 missions with- in seven months, returned to the States late in 1944 for rest and recuperation.
Following a three month course, L t . Adams decided the Air Force was the place for
thim. He applied for pilot training, wa8 accepted, proceeded to Maxwell Field.
V-J Day came, and Adams decided to make the service a career. He choose per- sonnel work as his career field, was as- signed for training to the Adjutant Gen- eral's School at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia.
He won his wings and reported to the 36th Fighter Group in Puerto Rico. The group soon returned to the States, giving Adams a chance to marry his college sweetheart.
