morning when he announced that
IF | can be of any service to you,
in the way of getting new build
ingS, let me know" 1t was through
the effort of men of this class that
the university secured appropria-
tions for three new buildings this f.
last year; and through whom the
upbuilding and growth of the uni
versity depends. His talk in chapel |
was along war lines, and at the CON
cluSion of which he sang a new |
stanza that he asked should be add |
ed to America The central |
theme of the stanza was God Save
Our Boys
AS a result of the governments
demand for expert radio engineers,
the senior and junior electricals |
who wish to do so are dropping
seven hours Of prescribed work and .
enrolling in the above course. The
omission of the prescribed course
does not help them as much as it
might seem, but instead, with the
new work, they have almost twice
as much laboratory work as for
merly Although radio operation is
part of the work, it is only of
minor importance. The course CON
siStS for the most part in exhaust
i've study Of the theory and opera
ton of wireless electric action. The
alternating current is studied in
practice and all electric phenomena
related to radio operation are gone
over thoroughly. Although the
completion of this course does not
assure the student of commission,
it practically fits him for a com
miSsioned Office in the signal corps,
which is granted upon the passing
o tan examination covering the
course studied. Practically all OF
the juniors and seniors have taken
advantage OF the opportunity.
Two thousand feet of war film,
showing the methods Of the con-
structon Of roads back of the firing
line in France, were shown Tuesday
night in the annex of the engineer |
ing building for the benefit of those
attending the short course in high
way construction, in progress here
last week. Besides those who have
already been in attendance, large !
number of engineers and people in
tereSted in road construction came
from Oklahoma City to see the pic
lures. The meeting adjourned Tues
day afternoon to attend the postal |
highway convention, which met in
Oklahoma City. The number en-
rolled in the short course is expect !
ed to be increased today by the ad- |
dltion of men who have been at
tending the convention at Oklaho- F.
ma City and had not yet come to
the university.
The Philogian Literary Society

officers. The following members
were elected: Margaret Cherry,
Athene Fenner, Leila and Carrie
Copeland, Helen Berg, Nirgie Roucr

Plans for the geology and library

pltal, located at Oklahoma CITY, has

building will cost approximately
$4,000; the geology building, $1OO.- |
700, and the hospital, $4,000 The
remainder of the 100000 hospital
