Main reason is that United has become impressed with Southern Illinois University's Aviation Technology program, which has produced, so far, a dozen graduates for the air line's operations. The university is pleased with the regard the airline holds for the program and is happy to furnish its graduates. Delivered Jan. 20 at Southern Illinois airport was an unrestricted gift, a forty-sixpassenger Viscount turbo-prop airliner. The type, which cost $1,200,000 when new in 1960, is being phased out in favor of jets. " We selected SIU for the gift because of United Air Lines' interest in the university's air institute and the product it is turning out," said R. L. Pollock, United* s employment manager for the midwestern region. He said the company is well pleased with the program's graduates it has hired. Among the group were two United captains who have sons enrolled in Sill's aviation technology classes and a third whose son, now in high school, has been accepted for summer enrollment. The three are J. G. Artus, Thomas McCosker, and, Thomas Morgan. Already in the program are sons Steve Artus and Wayne McCosker of Barrington, plus the son of another flight captain, Alan R. Kreimier n of McHenry, whose father was not present. Morgan's son, Tom, will enroll when he finishes high school this spring.
