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.
Aggies in England

A. & M. last year with reserve
commissions in the Signal Corps

munications methods during a war.
These men—Pack G. Hines, J. K.
Winsor and O. M. Martin—after
completing their training at A. &

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.
