KUSD Seeks Girl Operator
CSC Plans For Duration
The Volante, University of South Dakota newspaper, is advertising for a girl to act as control operator to be in charge of radio station KUSD. Due to the lowering of the draft age and the demand for trained men in the communication field, men students on the campus will not be available for this position. The position of control operator will soon be vacant, and since the station is necessary during war time, South Dakota girls with interests in mathematics, science or physics who are willing to do some research and training are being given a chance to try radio work.
As a land grant college, Colorado State College is making definite plans for her functioning in wartime. Courses for war training will be set up for women students in addition to those for groups of men students who will be allowed to remain in school. Men students will consist mainly of enlisted men assigned for college training through the enlisted reserves or the army clerical school. The president of the college predicted that land-grant colleges because of their military and technical training courses are likely to retain large student bodies, and the college may be converted to a three semester year schedule.
