Signal Corps Serves As US Army’s Nerve Center By Jack Keith Along with the vast expansion of the armed forces of the United States due to the national emerg ency that exists, particular atten tion is being paid to the nerve cen ter of the army—the Signal Corps. Modern methods of warfare have made almost split-second coord ination of army units an essential for proper maneuvering in the field. The Signal Corps is meet ing these demands by designing new communication equipment and training men for this branch of the service. There is a pressing need for more officers in this ex pansion program.

Army in England for observance of com munications methods during a war. These men—Pack G. Hines, J. K. Winsor and O. M.

Loupot. studies of communications during a modern war will be revisions and additions to the signal corps equip ment of the United States. Nations at war usually attack first—their enemy’s communica*- tions, and second—the enemy’s source of power. After this war is over, and the progress of rehabil itation is going on all over the world, there will be a great de mand for men with the type of training received in the Signal Corps. Thus from a personal point of view such training is highly desireable because of the great need of men of this type. Signal Corps Changed To help supply the need of ad ditional officers in the Signal Corps the requirements for admission to this unit at A. & M. were changed recently. Enrollment in the school of electrical engineering is no longer a prerequisite as it has been in the past. Students of other engineering schools (except arch- tecture and agriculture). Now those in the school of arts and sciences who minor in a foreign language are now eligible to take the basic and advanced Signal Corps courses. The course of instruction for the 1st and second year advanced class es has been divided into two parts, one classified as combatants and the other group known as cryptog raphic specialists. The ''combatant group learns advanced work in tel ephone and radio communication and is required to take appropri ate courses in the Electrical Engi neering department. English Department Helps Crytography is the art of writ ing and deciphering secret char acters. Numerous cryptographic specialists are needed by the Sig nal Corps to decipher enemy mes sages and to encipher our own messagjes. Thq Iprerequisites of this course, which is offered by the English department, are two years of a modern language or qualification jas an experienced chemist. This course is in lieu of the courses offered by the Elec trical Engineering Department. Authorization has been granted to freshmen and sophomores who desire to transfer to the Signal Corps by the P. M. S. & T. to do so. Those interested in such a change should consult with Lieut. G. P. Lerner, room 110, electrical engineering building. Rifle Team Has 210 Boys at First Meeting The Rifle team held its first meeting for this year and elec ted officers Tuesday night. Swish Philgo was elected president and team Captain and Bill Cook was elected secretary and treasurer. The coach of this years’ rifle team is Lieut. C. G. Williams of the Eingineers. There were 210 boys present at the meeting. and the team will be able to keep but 20. This makes it necessary'that some sort of elim ination matches be held in order to cut the size of the team. The various designs of the orna mental grill work on the doors of the Animal Industries Building are facsimiles of famous Texas cattle brands. -TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1941 Short Course Is Discussion Topic Of Dairy Seminar The Dairy Husbandry short course to be held the latter part of November was the chief top ic of discussion at a meeting of the dairy staff seminar held Fri day night at the creamery.

Candidates for the scholarships in the secondary course must hold a private pilot’s license obtained through satisfactory completion of the primary course, and must he willing to spend $39 to cover the cost of the physical examination, transportation to and from the air port, and a College registration fee of $10. The scholarships consist of about 45 hours of flight training and 108 hours of ground instruc tion and have a value of about $900. These scholarships have been awarded to A. & M. on the basis of the facilities available here for flight training. Civil Aeronautics Administration inspectors and of ficials have given the College the highest possible rhting on its flight and ground equipment and personnel.
