Cabaret Abandoned
This is the first year since before
the League opened in 1929 that there
will be no Soph Cabaret. Because the
gountry is at war, the League has
abandoned social activities in favor of
service work. Replacing the Soph
Cabaret with the Sophomore Project
is their first specific action.
The Sophomore Project was organ-
ized to provide particular service
work for sophomore women. The plan
provides for participation in volun-
teer work at the University Hospital.
According to Miss Rhoda Reddig,
head of the school of nursing, there
ir a scarcity of nurses at the Univer-
sity Hospital as well as in other hos-
pitals in the country, and aid will be
welcome.

Meeting Planned
By Merit Group
Marallyn MacRitchie, '43, will hold
ameeting of the Merit Committee at
4:15 p.m., Thursday at the League.
The room will be posted on the bulle-
tin board. Old members are urged to
attend, as well as anyone who is in-
terested in joining the committee.
This meeting is for the purpose of
reorganization and welcoming both
old girls and new. Eligibility cards
will be signed and the files put in
order.
The Merit Committee is one of the
standing committees of the League
organization. It attends to the cleri-
cal work of the League, working hand
in hand with the Judiciary Commit-
tee.
The committee keeps a personal
record of every girl registered in the
University, her activities, her schol-
astic standing and all other infor-
mation pertaining to her life here on
campus as well as after graduation.
It also takes a poll of activities par-
ticipated in by the various dormitor-
ies, sororities, and League houses each
year.
When a girl petitions for a posi-
tion, it is the Merit Committee, along
with the Judiciary Committee, who
sees to it that the girl who merits
the job gets it.

At present there are no particular
chairmanships on the committee for
the various duties. Women will pe-
tition as general members of the cen-
tral committee and will be appointed
to specific jobs later.
The uniform for the volunteer
helpers at the hospital has been
chosen for its color and its tailoring.
The hospital furnishes a jacket, but
each volunteer is expected to provide
her own navy or white skirt. Saddle
shoes, anklets, half socks, or no hose
are considered out of place in the
hospital atmosphere.
Volunteer Is Helpful
According to the volunteer manual,
"the volunteer is of inestimable serv-
ice to the personnel in the out-patient
clinics, surgery and medical, as she
can relieve them of so many tasks
which prevent their undivided appih-
cation to their more technical duties."
"She can extend to the patient the
little extra courtesies and attentions
that so help to alleviate his anxiety-
hospitalities that a busy professional
staff do not have the time to take
care of, regardless of how desirous
they may be of doing so."
Defamation Of Limbs

Screen actress Anne Shirley has filed
suit for $100,000 against the Charles
R. Rogers productions, alleging an-
other woman's legs were substituted
for hers in a scene from "The Powers
Girl."
Anne, who plays the part of a hos-
iery model in the picture, claims the
substitution was made after showing
her lifting her skirt and then chang-
ing to a second scene which displayed
only the legs.

Smith College
Awaits Arrival
Of 900 Waves
Navy Officers, Townspeople!
Cooperate In Arrdngements
For Official Opening Of School
By RUTH SULZBARGER
NORTHAMPTON, Mass., Oct. 5-
All is in readiness for the arrival to-
morrow of about 900 Waves whose
coming will mark the official opening
of the United States Naval Training
School at Smith College.
The women are due to arrive
throughout the day in this small New
England town, where they will under-
go training which will equip them for
commissions in the women's reserve
of the United States Naval Reserve.
According to Captain Herbert W.
Underwood, the commanding officer,
the school is now expecting about 120
probationary commissioned officers
and 778 apprentice seamen. He had
previously expected only 768, "but,"
he added, "we have a cubbyhole or
two up our sleeve and will find room
for them all."
The town and college have cooper-
ated in arrangements to accommo-
date the Waves. The Hotel North-
ampton is at the disposal of the Navy
and will house the "Northampton
battalion." College students have
evacuated three of their dormitories
as sleeping quarters for the "campus
battalion."
To make possible the housing of
the students in their limited quarters,
double-decker beds were provided by
the Navy. The "bunks" were a wel-
come sight to the more pessimistic
students who were expecting nothing
more solid than a hammock.
Both battalions will go to "mess"
at the Wiggins tavern, adjacent to
the hotel. With the exception of
breakfast, meal hours will be stag-
gered to facilitate the service. The
"rookies" will be marched to meals
and to classes.
Northampton has become Navy-
conscious and is eagerly awaiting the
new recruits. The sight of naval offi-
cers or seamen on the streets is no
longer unusual, but a pair of WAVES,
marching erectly, will still cause the
spectator to turn and voice approval
of their carriage and neat appear-
ance.
"They were drilling in good order
in an unbelievably short length of
time," said Captain Underwood. "It
is the most remarkable thing I have
ever seen. No groups of men I ever
trained could drill so well in that
time."
No regulations have been issued
concerning the wearing of nail polish
and lipstick.
"We didn't need any for the first
group," said the captain.
"Of course we don't intend to have
any startling effects in uniform," he
added.
The 120 WAVES holding proba-
tionary commissions on arrival will
receive special service commissions at
the end of a one-month indoctrina-
tion course. At the end of this same
period the apprentice seamen will
become midshipmen and after three
more months will be commissioned as
ensigns.
As the school opens there are fifty-
two naval officers, but Captain Un-
derwood said that women will be put
into every position where they can do
the job as well as men. He expected
that the number of male officers will
be reduced to twenty in a few months,
leaving them only in key positions.

Mrs. Little will continue her studies
in the University and Mr. Little will
enter the Navy.
Greek Says Fighting

DUBOIS, Pa.- ()- "My people
fought under terrible handicaps-
fighting for Uncle Sam should be a
picnic!"
That's what Jack Malamas, 43-
year-old Greek confectionery store
proprietor here 17 years, said when
he left to be drafted yesterday. And
Malamas - confident he's coming
back and reluctant to sell his bus-
iness-made this deal with his land-
lord: He'll pay half of his Army sal-
ary as rent for the store. If he doesn't
survive the war, the owner of the
building gets the business.

Choose Dark Colors
Get it in a dark color-dark enough
to hide the slight (or many) grease
stains which will be inevitable. Get it
in a good material even if it makes a
difference of a dollar or two. it's'un-
certain what quality and quantity of
goods will be produced and the outfit
will have to endure through long
hours of hard wear and many clean-
ings. Let these factors influence your
buying.
If you're a first aider, slacks are
definitely a necessity. Artificial res-
piration and that constant bandaging
and unbandaging make it more 'than
likely that you will be forever bending
and unbending. Slacks make for
quicker movement as well as freer
manipulation of the limbs, if tailored
well, make your job easier.
