IBINANIIE HWeH, we have it apart. OW what? Ord- nance N S 9 With the aid of Lt.-Comdr. Kelsey CGM Jackson and CGM Dugan helps aspiring and perspiring young Hrotcees learn the Why e and Wherefore of naval weapons from a Colt .45 to CI 16 killer. Part of the class is taken care of in the Ordnance Lab. Red Kyle and Bill Frill experi- ence no trouble With machine guns but deck apes such as Dermody and O'Connell former bridge men learn more about the Hshooting end. The Lab is equipped With small arms, 20 mm, 40 mm, c1 3 gun and mines and torpedoes. A late addition is c1 Mark 51 director system With a gunner trainer, christened iiDugcm's Arcade . Classroom work includes theory on all ord- nance and gives engineers such as Bartelme, Martin and Erbach c1 chance to show their talents. Book-digging is required for the types of ammunition, characteristics of different guns, etc. Additional practical work is occasionally done at the outdoor range, a gravel pit on West Burleigh, Where workouts With small- arms occur.

EIIMMUNIEATINS A good fighting Navy is G well-organized Navy and Communications are necessary for good organization. ROTC seniors are taught this vital function by Lt. tjgi F. X. Miller. Bar- ringten, Cheek, Pooler and Starbody, ex-com- munication men assist their classmates in signal and blinker phases. Radio, telephone and telegraph procedure, correspondence, sound detection gear, Visual signalling are among the topics of study listed in NS 10. Interesting and instructive movies are shown on all phases of CI communication officer's duties and a great deal is seen of CI Mr. Page standing cm OOD watch in port and at sea. Also important in the field of communica- tions is the subject of security, which falls under the cares of the Hcom officer . We find engineers Horace Edwards, R. O. Snure and others laying aside slide rules to learn how to care for publications, and liberal arts students like Louie Kohn and Art Bowling digging into the intricacies of radio and sound. There is G future for communications officers but the predominant question before the house is . . . Where? . -.-L. s 3?; ...........

GUNNEBY HI have tive questions has become one of the most horrifying phrases ever heard by a student of NS 9 tGunneryi and without a doubt will one day take its place alongside the mem- orable sayings of Jones, Farragut and Dewey. However, under the tutelage of Lt.-Corndr. P. C. Kelsey, the present gunnery class has been assured of excellent instruction. Previous graduates have written on various occasions to their friends that Marquette graduates seem to rank higher than other graduates in naval science, especially gunnery. The rapt attention given by Bauman, Bon- thron, Bradish, the triUmvirCIte of Snure, Ver- dow and Huddle, and all other class members shows quite Clearly the effectiveness of the course and its teaching. Fire-Control, With its galaxy of computers, directors, range-iinders, stable elements, and What have you, presents to the Naval Science Curriculum c1 very technical subject . . . and to the young naval officer approaching his first gunnery duty . . . Ct valuable training aid. Tomorrow, When some Leitner or Aliphin salutes the quarterdeck of his new Hhorne -- he will be able to say With assurance and confidence, HYou may assign me to the gun- nery department, sir. ... ...... ..'
