This was revealed today by H. T. Heald. president of lllinois lnstitute of Technology, and Re— gional Adviser for District No. 15 to the United States Office at Edv uca’rion. olvlr. Heald, who has been up pointed coordinator tor this pro- gram in the state of Illinois, stated that the tralnlng would be given "tuitlomtreo to men and women and that it would be of college level grade." Mr. W. E. Hitchinson. chief executive of radio station WAAF, is the industrial coordinator of the program. uThe program of training radio technicians. which is to be a notion— wlde effort, originated in \Nashlng- ton, D. C. when the armed serviccg. various governmental agencies and the United States Ottice of Edu- cation recognized that there was a great shortage of trained person» nel in this field. oThe National Broadcasters was asked to cooper- ate since its member agencies. the radio stations. had technical per- sonnel and tacllities to train radio technicians. Association at However. since it was planned to finance the program by congressional appropriation, the United States Office of Education directed schools operating under its ”Engineering. Science. and Man- agement Detense Training pro- gram" to cooperate and administer the financial and educational phases. aAccordingly. in Chicago. the tour schools mentioned. which are accredited tor engineering and science. have lurlsdictlon tor the training at radio technicians. lt is expected that the tlrst group will start classes on February 23. The classes will continue for l6 weeks. oPrerequisltes tor entrance to the course are high school graduation, including two hours 0t mathematics, and a course in physics or one at the other physical sciences. ln ad- dition to this, it is required that trainees have had some experience in the radlo or electrical tleld. flhe courses to be given are two in number and will be known as ”introduction to Radio." and "Mod em Radio Practice." Persons do siring to enroll in the Modern Ra- dio Practice course, whlch is the more advanced of the two. will be: rcguércd to have had a considerable amount of radio or allied exper‘w coco. M'xll radio stations in Chicago already indicated their will- ingncaa The radio Stations will publicize the program. so as to obtain a sultlclent number have to cooperate. ct cmolioes to meet the quota at 1,209 tor the first group. ln addi- tion. radio stations will survey their technicul personnel with the thought in mind ot recommending those «qualified to serve as instructors and lociurors tor the program. mT‘he responsibility of recruiting eurollues is in the charge of a two man committee composed at Mr. Front: beater. National Defense Di- roctcr. WLS. and Mr. A. H. Hol- lander. Program Director, WIND. VJJJD. ul’erwns interested in enrolling in the courso should make inquiry direct? y m’ the Radio Training Com- mittee, lllinols Institute of Tech- nology. 43 West 33rd street. Chi— cago. All those making inquiry will be attorded an opportunity of filing an application tor en- trance to the course and to indi- which of the tour schools would be most convenient for at‘ co to tendonce. oihis program is not one which will be limited to Chicago alone, but will include the entire state 0t it is expected that Chi— cago radio stations will be ex- tremely helpt‘ul in aiding the oganl- zatlonal phase of the program for down state. lllinois. on/hen the program for the state ‘ is In lull operation, it Is hIghly prob- able that the University of Illinois will establish training centers in the large down-state communities with the cooperation of radio stav in those communities. In- qulrles already received indicate that centers may be established at Peoria and Rocktord. Jrlons MO EDTTORlAlL?

Experiments designed by Dr. Sarbacher and Dr. Edson will be ' studied in :3 new communication laboratory at Lewis to provide tor laboratory work in the rogular radio courses together with ESMDT pro— gram. Almost all the experiments will be: novel in many respects. There will be a number 0t experiments designed to illustrate; the operation of some of the latest high lroquoncy vacuum l‘ubeas‘and circuits. Elec— tromagnetic waves which are gen- erated by these oscillators will in some cases be shorter than l0 cm. in length. Special apparatus will be available tor study of these extremely short radio waves. uAllhough no detlnlto date has been set tor opening the new lu- borotory. it appears that the trans- portation of equipment and sup— plies now on the Armour campus will take place next week. The course is open to seniors and gua|l~ tied students. gummcrcu uuuuclullon cunductu now ‘ luclurou olmprovement at industrial stand~ ards constitutes the theme of a new series of lectures under the spon- sorship of the Junior Association of Commerce.
