many more opportunities to help with
the publication of the book. If there
are any who have been promised
places, they should see the editor in
regard to helping in this work.

dents who desire to work will be
allowed to try out along with others

to their ability and willingness to
work. It is the plan to retain prob
ably three or four until the end or
the year and these will "be recom
mended by the editor or business
managers to take more repponsible
positions In future years.

WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
WITH SCHOOLS IN VALLEY

Install Aerial Apparatus Finish
Within Manth.
Nebraska will soon be in wireless
communication with other schools in
the Missouri valley. The Electrical
Engineering department of the Col
lege of Engineering has completed
the first steps in the installation of
an aerial apparatus and plan to have
the project finished within the next
month. An antennae made up of four
strands of wire 200 feet long .has
been strung from the tower of U Hall
to the roof of the Electrical Engineer
ing building. The work of leading
the wires down into the building is
now under way.
The wireless is being built mainly
for experimental purposes. Apparatus
left from the set used before the war
Is being used wherever possible.
There will be a one kilowatt set for
sending and a De Forest Uouble
amplifier for receiving. Under favor
able weather conditions the apparatus
should have a sending and receiving
radius of 500 miles.
The Senior electrical engineering
class is constructing the apparatus.
When the wireless was in use before
Ihe war its main purpose was sending
and receiving football scores. This
will probably be taken up again along
with experiments in radio telepathy.

Much enthusiasm has been shown
among the girls, and many schemes
have been suggested by different
