Enlisted Men; Four
Courses Given.
Conditions Governing Eligibility
Explained; College
Men Desired.
There is no dearth of places for thr
men who desire to do their bit, ard
every day sees some new field opened.
The latest is the Enlisted Specialist’s ]
Preparatory School, situated at Fort |
Winfield Scott, San Francisco, and it j
is introduced to prospective applicants j
in the folowing way:
If yon are on the outside of the Armv
and have a craving to be on the inside,
and are physically fit, and are not of
draft status, you know that you are
always welcome at the recruiting sta
tions. If, in addition to having a great
desire to belong to the Army, you like
putting your mind up against the job
Of learning something a bit difficult,
there is sure to be a good place waiting
for you after you have satisfied the
particular notions of the recruiting
station ns to fitness for service. If,
in addition to this, you have some steno
graphy in your fingers, the best place
for you just now is the Enlisted Xpe< -
inlists Preparatory School. Even i:'|
you nie of draft status, and have tho ^
necessary qualifications, this is proba
bly the best place for you just now.
Conditions Almost Ideal.
The conditions under which the work
of this school is carried on are, or soon
will lie. nearly ideal. Fort Winfield
Bcott is a pleasant place. The Govern
ment lias appropriated $-1,000 for new
buildings. There will be four new bar
racks, a new mess ball, and n big bath
bouse. Also there will be the best of
instruction.
To be eligible for the Master (lim
ners’ C.’i nurse the candidate must be
familiar with elementary algebra,
through quadratic equations, elementary
plane geometry and trigonometry. If
he has also mechanical drawing or snr
veying he is much more valuable can
didate. The course embraces instruc
tion in all these subjects.
To be eligable for the Sergeants’
Major Course the candidate should
either have had some experience <as a
stenographer or have a considerable
knowledge of army paper work. Knowl
edge of the Gregg system of stenogra
phy is preferable, but this is not re
quired of a candidate if he has advanced
far enough in another system to receive
dictation and thus improve his work
without actual instruction. At the
school instruction is given in typewrit
ing, shorthand, army paper work, and,
if necessary, spelling and grammar.
The touch- system of typewriting is
taught, and of course the candidate lias

an advantage if he already has a work
ing knowledge of this.
For the Electrician Sergeants’ Course
the candidate must have a thorough
knowledge of elementary algebra
through quadratic equations and must
have, had at least one year of high school
physics. The men needed for th:s
course are those who have had either
practical experience as electricians or
cable splicers, or theoretical or practi
cal electrical work in universities or
technical schools. Instruction is given
in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, the
oretical electricity, cable splicing, fire
control apparatus, gas engines, and
searchlights.
Algebra Required.
Men are eligible for the Radio Ser
geants’ Course who have had enough
theoretical training in electrical subjects
to make it possible for them to devote
nearly all of their time to practice in
sending and receiving messages, or who
can now send and receive at least five
words per minute. They must have had
at least one year of high school algebra.
College men, especially students of en
gineering, are particularly desirable be
cause of their advantages in training
and because of their generally expected
superiority in adaptability. As a spec
ial inducement to college men, there is
now under consideratiun a plan whereby
students from the University of Cali
fornia may receive university credit for
the work done at, the Specialists School.
The course of instruction at the
school lasts three months. From among
those who complete the work with dis
tinction will he selected a few of the
men who are regarded as giving tin'
most promise of being made into good
officers. Those selected men will be
sent to the Reserve Officers’ Training
Camp lit Fort Monroe, Virginia, for a
further three months of instruction. The
great majority of graduates of the En
listed Specialists’ School at Fort Scott
will be sent to the Fort Monroe En
listed Soho] for an additional three
months training. After this training,
ratings will lie awarded. A eandidvo
need not be twenty-one years of age to
be admitted. The ages of llioso now
in attendance range from eighteen to
forty-one, and under special conditions
efforts will be ntude to secure from the
Government permission to enlist a man
over forty-one. Eligibility to the? offi
cers’ training camp at Fort Monroe,
however, requires that the candidate be
at least twenty years and nine months.
Application Rules Given.
Application for enlistment should be
made in person, or in writing, at the
Military Bureau, University of Califor
nia. Qualified men are especially wan
ted in the courses for Radio Sergeants
and Electrician Sergeants. Candidates
will be notified of the acceptance of
their papers within three days after
they are received.

for the government, and has taken ex

planning of camps, and it is thought
that this will make him a valuable uiau
to have on the I'uiversity faculty.

the money will be given over in any
event.
The canteen project is the idea of Col
onel Leader and supercedes the plan of
either buying an ambulance or building
a nurse’s hut, for which the money was
originally voted.
A canteen is located immediately be
hind the lines and furnishes to the men
going in and coming out of the trenches
sandwiches, hot drinks, etc., at a very
nominal price. It takes twelve women -to
run a canteen and they work in four
shifts of eight hours each. After sis
months of service the workers are per
mitted to return home or to go to Eng
land on a furlough.
Colonel Leader Receives Cable.
Colonel Leader has received a cable
from his aunt in England who is at the
head of a canteen, saying that she has
seen the president of the French Red
Cross committee in England and that we
should apply to him.
Another telegram from the French
high commissioner at Washington which
has been received by Colonel Leader,
states that the government highly ap
preciates the generous offer of the la
dies of the I’niversity .lie prefers that
the arrangements for transportation he
made through America rather than
through France.
The method of selecting the twelve
senior women Inis not yet been decided
upon. They will probably have to under
go a very stringent physical examination.
Resolutions presented h.v the Women’s
Athletic Association to secure student
body recognition of women’s intercolle
giate sports by the awarding of sweaters
to women taking part in four intercolle
giate matches of hockey, four games of
basketball and four matches of tennis,
were adopted. Winners o,f first, second
and third places in the annual intercol
legiate swimming meet are also to he
included. No girl would receive more than
one sweater during her college career,
hut an additional O, to be worn on the
pocket of the sweater, would be given
to girls qualifying in more than one
sport.
Committees to Present Motion.
A committee composed of Margaret
Crocby, Frieda Laird, Ella Dews and
Maude Lombard was appointed to pre
sent the matter at tile next student body
meeting.
A plea for more workers at Red Cross
was made by Miss Xirssa Diusdale and
Mrs. 1’. L. Campbell.
"The women of the University must
prove their willingness to serve at home
before they can prove their ability for
foreign service,’’ said Miss Dinsdaie.
A resolution that every University girl
consider herself as a committee of one to
spo that every one turns out for Red
Cross work, was passed.
Nothing Done About Canoe Fete.
In speaking of the canoe fete Helen
DeLano, president of the league, said:
“There has been a great deal of discus
sion as to the advisability of having
a canoe fete this year, and the women
have discussed it a great deal. It isn’t
a problem whose decision rests upon the
Woman’s league, but it is a problem
whose decision rests upon the student
body or the Junior Week-end committee.
If there is a motion to the effect that we
discuss it wo will do so. if not, wo will
continue with our own business.”
i,’lans for the campus luncheon were
discussed and the girls all agreed to co
operate in making this event a huge suc
cess.
