Some of the operations that were demonstrated for the group and discussed by them were the switchboard operations, national teletype hookup, trouble shooting, and lab- oratory testing procedures. On the evening of March 23, Pi Epsilon Sigma members were conducted on a tour through the transmitters of radio stations KI-ISL and KVCI by Jay Kloer, a member of the group. who is employed by the Chico stations as a technician-announcer. Some of the things discussed were the Standard Operating Procedure for local and network broadcasts, and the technical aspects of commercial broadcasting. A special feature was initiated in the spring semester by President Russell Eransen. This fea- ture was the holding of a meeting or a field trip on every Wednesday. Special -meetings were held at night, but the regular weekly meetings were held in the afternoons for the members' con- venience. Aside from the discussion of business, the weekly meetings had the added attraction of at least one motion picture on an engineering or technical subject. PI EPSILON SIGMA
