The student also learns to send code with a "straight" key. Five one-half hour periods a week. Autumn, Winter, Spring. One quarter hour. Dalley 33. International Morse Code. An advanced course designed to increase sending and receiving speed to about twenty words per minute. Instructions and practice are given in message handling and use of the semi-automatic key. Five one-half hour periods a week. Autumn, Winter, Spring. One quarter hour. Dalley DEPARTMENT OF AERONAUTICS H. P. Huish, Coodinator Aeronautics 1, 10, and 12 provide minimum training for CAA Private Pilot's license. Aeronautics 2, 3, and 4 are required for a commercial pilot's license, and although not required for a private license, the courses are very valuable and should be taken by anyone who flies. Any student taking Aeronautics 10, 11, or 12 is expected to take Aeroautics 2, 3 and 4 unless he has had the courses previously. Negotiations with the United States Air Force and Civil Air Patrol are now underway for installation of a Civil Air Patrol Cadet Ground and Pre-Flight Training Program at Weber College. The courses of instruction listed below would be somewhat altered and enriched providing inauguration of such a program is achieved.
