SIGNAL CORPS RUSHES WORK

With 25 members of the University enlisted in the Signal Reserve Corps, work in this branch of the service here has been given an excellent start. Classes have been held in the Cruft Laboratory for two weeks and the men are well along in the radio work which is the basis of the course. The classes each night have consisted of a one hour lecture on radio theory, followed by an hour of code work, the men being divided into sections according to their ability to receive the code.

A change has been instituted in the system of classes in that men regularly attending sections Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, may also receive two hours of code work only, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and vice versa for the men attending the regular classes on the latter nights. Additional men, who intend to make national use of the knowledge they derive from the classes, may join the Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday sections now, but they will be slightly handicapped by entering the class late.

Men in the R. O. T. C. who are also in the Signal Corps will probably be allowed to either remain in the former organization until the Signal Corps is called to camp or resign now from the training corps and enter on a routine of seven hours a day work for the Signal Corps. This plan will be carried out if the Faculty will give credit to the men who make this change. The new intensive work will consist of flag practice, use of "blinker" lights and additional radio work. Members of the R. O. T. C. in the Signal Corps are to speak to Sergeant Howson as soon as possible in regard to the conflict with the R. O. T. C. lectures. He will be in Cruft Laboratory from 11 to 12 o'clock and from 1 to 2 o'clock today and tomorrow.
