Correction

In the Oct. 21 article "So you want to fly a plane?" it was stated that after the written test, the student must take to the air with a certified instructor, who will ultimately decide if the student can become a pilot.

The statement should have read that the student must take to the air with an FAA Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE). The Aggie regrets the error.

Club Hoppin’: Cooking Club

When Jackie Stone decided to become a vegetarian at the tender age of 12, she didn't have a lot of cooking experience to rely on.

"My first year or so [as a vegetarian], I lived off of cereal, quesadillas and veggie burgers," she said.

After years of practice, Stone gradually increased her repertoire of recipes, looking for new kinds of vegetables and protein substitutes that could be incorporated into healthy, easy-to-make meals. Stone not only adapted the vegetarian lifestyle, but she fell in love with cooking.
