2a.m. Will be 3a.m. Hour Hand Jumps
By VIRGINIA TIEMAN
The zero hour approaches!
If you plan to arise at the final hour to change the time piece confusion is likely to result after you stumble over half of the furniture lurking in the darkness of the room. Before you work yourself into a frenzy over the question, "Should the clock be moved up an hour or back an hour?" remember that you probably forgot to wind it anyway so it won't make a lot of difference
The Phrase "time flies" will have a new significance for University students at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning when clocks are changed to conform with the enactment of Congress regarding daylight saving time.
Of course, you can always call the telephone operator to ask the common question, "Correct time, please." (If she doesn't know, go back to bed and sleep it off—it's probably hopeless.)
A good idea for sorority and fraternity houses would be to ring the dinner gong at 2 a.m. so that members could parade from room to room to change the ticking gadgets. One unlucky person (chump) should be appointed to watch for the dying hour—just so the great event won't slip by unnoticed.
In case you are planning to return early Monday morning from a weekend trip, get to the bus or train station a day or so ahead of time, because what bus and train schedules will bring forth (or probably won't bring forth if it's the bus or train of which you are thinking of) is not guaranteed. If the train is an hour late, how will you know if it was an hour late before 2 o'clock or an hour late after 3 o'clock or an hour late because the clock was moved up from 2 to 3 o'clock or—oh, well, you can always walk!
If you live far from the University campus,you might carry a flashlight to guide your way in the early morning,because blackouts will have nothing on 8:30 classes. Perhaps the University will establish (continued to page three)

University Shifts into High on Its War Courses
In its plan to provide trained men and women for service to their country during wartime and the peaceful conditions to follow, the University has enlarged its curriculum to include new courses especially designed for that preparation.
Navigation is a course designed to give students a working knowledge of that subject. Prof. N. W. Storer said that of 34 enrolled in the class, over half were in the V-7 naval program, and will receive approximately the same training in
this course they will get later in the navy.
A general course in military law open only to seniors is conducted by Prof. J.B. Smith and has 15 enrolled.
Vacuum Tube Electronics, taught by Prof. J. D. Stranathan, has been offered for several years, but it is being emphasized this year because it is in a field where there is a shortage of men. "The government needs men trained in radio and general vacuum tube work more than in any other field," Professor Stranathan said. Thirteen students have already enrolled in the course.
Twelve students have enrolled in Prof. C. J. Posey's Meteorology — a study of nature and causes of weather
conditions, including consideration of atmospheric temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, and circulation. It is designed for those who will take up aviation or enter the weather service.
Aerial Photographs and their uses, taught by Prof. H. T. U. Smith, includes interpretation of geographic, topographic, and cultural features as shown on serial maps, and the preparation of maps from aerial photographs with special reference to military application.
A brief course of elementary surveying for those who are not studying to be civil engineers, and map reading and interpretation, are other new war courses.
Advanced surveying, aircraft
Time and motion study includes application of motion economy principles, time study, rating, allowances, and formula building.
drafting, aircraft engine testing, aircraft materials and construction practices, elementary surveying, mathematics, metallurgy, radio engineering, safety engineering, physical testing of materials and physics are courses offered.
Courses particularly interesting to women have been introduced in the Hill curriculum. Red Cross courses feature training in home nursing, first aid, and nutrition. These three courses have no service obligation and carry one-hour credit.
Practical Nurse Aid Training
course which includes classroom lectures and demonstrations, with 150 hours of practical experience in an approved hospital. Candidates are obligated to finish the course and give 150 hours of volunteer service annually to maintain their certificate, and must serve whenever they are called.
Nurse's aides is a three-hour credit
The department of home economics offers several regular courses which may meet wartime need either at home or in camps. A curriculum in occupational therapy has been organized to lead to a bachelor's degree.
Elementary and advanced work in flight instruction and military training in infantry and ocast artillery are offered the University student.
