NAVAL SCIENCE MEN TO CRUISE IN SUBMARINE

Elementary instruction in submarine navigation and a day's cruise in a metal sea-monster are some of the fruits of long classroom hours that Uncle Sam is offering N.R.O.T.C. men during the spring vacation, it was learned recently from authorities at 31 Holyoke Street.

The two day course will be given at New London, where the U. S. maintains a submarine school and base. Small groups of students will be allowed to board the flimsy craft during the second day, and cruise under the sea. The trips will carry them into Long Island Sound and back and will not be over night.

No Secrets Revealed

Although the students will have no specific duties on board, they will be allowed to ask any questions that occur to them. There is little danger that Uncle Sam's carefully guarded naval secrets will be exposed, however, for "only a trained technician can understand a machine, even when it is exposed," according to the office of information.

By way of instruction in what to do when the submarine obstinately refuses to rise from the ocean bed. Harvard groups will have the opportunity to ascend from imaginary ocean depths in a cylindrical tank over fifty feet deep. Oxygen is supplied by a "lung."

N.R.O.T.C. authorities have planned such trips because they feel that naval reserve officers should be acquainted with all phases of naval war.
