PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS . THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1944 THE KANSAN COMMENTS Electrician's Mates Start Classes Here Rock Chalk Talk The training program at the University is under the supervision of the School of Engineering and Architecture, with Prof. J. O. Jones as acting dean, and is divided into three divisions: mathematics, electrical laboratory training, and shop practice. Subjects taken by future electrician's mates are: mathematics electrical theory, blue print reading, hand tool shop, motor shop, wiring shop, and electrical laboratory. These courses of study provide the basis for training, and as a general basis for more advanced training in radio, radar, and other specialized fields. This week another course of study has been added to the University curricula, the training of electrician's mates. This course turns out men ready for active shore or sea duty, although some will go to more advanced schools for specialized electrical training. This program of study at the University will gradually replace the training of machinist's mates. Fifty-six men for this program have already arrived. They come from various naval training stations over the country, and are chosen for this type of training through aptitude tests. Electrician's mates are an essential part of the Navy. They have the care and maintenance of electrical equipment, devices, and lines aboard ship or in shore activities. The electrical work done by these men includes care of wiring, lighting, generators, motors, alarm systems, radar, and telephonic equipment. So now we welcome the new men in training in the University who are replacing the machinist's mates, the first of the armed services to arrive on the campus a year and a half ago. We hope the new men will like the University, the Mt. Oread community, and Lawrence. We hope the months spent here will be pleasant, and that the Navy lads will look back upon their training at the University of Kansas with fond memories. (continued from page one) America," and "Christian Vocation." Under "The World," various countries were surveyed with emphasis on their cultural, economic, historical, and religious background. Many Had Visited India WORLD MEET---sporting Brownlee's Beta diamond. Just why the two girls saw fit momentarily to swap futures remains a matter of conjecture. "I attended the seminar on "India," Miss Casad said. "I was surprised to find that not only the chief speaker, a returned missionary, but nearly everyone else in the group had actually been to India. They were unanimously agreed that India should be given at least dominion status." Most appealing to Miss Casad was the idea stressed in all meetings concerned with the mission of the church after the war — that Americans must never again be satisfied just to send out missionaries "to convert the heathen." "Missionary work must no longer be geographical, but functional," she explained. "Anywhere they are needed—in the slums or among sharecroppers in America as well as in the jungles of India, missionaries must be sent." It was disclosed at the conference that India plans to send missionaries to the United States within a short time to aid in the interchange of ideas and the sharing of culture. Sycamore Trees Protect Streams Western sycamore trees are of little commercial importance except to produce protective growths along the streams in dry areas. --sporting Brownlee's Beta diamond. Just why the two girls saw fit momentarily to swap futures remains a matter of conjecture. By MARY MORRILL Proving that football players get away with anything—one well-known varsity star has given his Phi Psi pledge and active pins in away in the Alpha Chi house—to two different girls. The situation is relieved undoubtedly by the fact that the girl with the active badge also has a Phi Gam pin in her jewel box. Feggy Davis, who has been very decidedly pinned to Bill Brownlee, Beta, for sometime, caused a minor riot when she walked into class with a Phi Delt sword and shield chained to her Theta kite. The lecture continued only after it was explained that the pins belonged to Patty Armel who was currently Upon noticing the extremely loud lie which Clarence Engle had worn up for the Beta chapter picture, one of his brothers remarked, "Hey, Clarence, what's your trouble? Think this was going to be taken in technicolor?" Mary Olive Marshall finds it impossible to defend herself against jokes about being "slow" now that friends have learned about a letter from home she received yesterday. The letter said Mo's 80-year-old uncle had just married. --- "CANDID" CAMERA SHOOTS SIX FOOT NEGATIVES! Photographs to full scale are made of valuable technical drawings that are costly to produce. These were formerly short-lived through the repeated heat and handling of blueprinting. THE world's largest camera, developed and used by Bell Telephone Laboratories, makes negatives up to 6 feet high at the rate of 20,000 a month. The crew works inside the camera which has a battery of lenses with focal lengths to 70 inches. This safer, faster method helps speed the designing of new and special communications equipment for the armed forces—now the main job of Bell Laboratories' scientists. 。 War calls keep Long Distance lines busy ..That's why your call may be delayed.
