Third Officer Newell's rank is com- parable to that of a second lieutenant in the Army. Home on a ten-day leave, she expressed her desire in an interview to be sent overseas. "When I get back to Des Moines, I will do company work, which means training and drilling auxiliary WAACS. Then I would really like to see overseas duty. Of course the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps is a purely non-com- batant force, designed primarily to replace army men doing office and administration work." Graduated in '37 A graduate of the University in the class of '37 and a Latin major, Third Officer Newell worked at the Uni- versity 'Hospital for some time as a medical social worker.

"We are most pleased to see the enthusiastic acceptance of the WAAC unit in all military spheres; "and in- cidentally," she continued, "I was especially delighted to have members of the ROTC salute me as I walked down the "Diag." Wears Two-Tone Uniform Third Officer Newell was wearing her winter dress uniform, which con- sisted. of a "pink" skirt (actually khaki in color) and a forest green fit- ted jacket on the lapels of which were the insignia of the WAAC, which is Pallas Athene, ancient Greek goddess of wisdom. Her hat, similar to the Foreign Legion visor cap, bore the gold eagle design granted to officers upon graduation. "About make-up," said Third Offi- cer Newell in answer to our queries of how much WAACS are permitted to wear, "certainly we are allowed to wear it, and nail polish, too, as long as it isn't conspicuous. Complete out- fits of clothing are issued to us, in- cluding three pairs of cotton hose and four pairs of rayon." New Recruits Welcome "The camp at Des Moines, which now houses 5,000 WAACS, is con- stantly receiving new recruits as the law for the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps calls for a maximum of 150,000 members at present. The corps will take women between the ages of 21 and 45, and, although a college degree is not required, most officers have had some college training." "Although the training period was stiff," she concluded, "the thrill of receiving my gold bars more than made up for it. I am now waiting for the opportunity to salute my husband who is a captain in the Air Corps."
