Lieut. Com. Albert F. Rice '18, senior member of the Naval Reserve flight selection board and specialist in lending a helpful hand to hopeful young candidates, disclosed in January a new greasing of entrance into the service for aviation cadets in the form of a waiving of the mathematics requirements. Scores of students who have completed only two years of accredited college work may now qualify.

Lieutenant Commander Rice, whose creed is that all adult males should know how to fly an airplane, particularly a Navy plane, reports progress in his mission. In two months the output of the Navy's aviation training program has been stepped up from 150 to 200 aviators a month. The goal is 800.
