Questions concerning training, possibilities for advancement, uses of previous train- ing, physical requirements and so forth will be answered. WAVE recruits must be between the ages of 20 and 36 for non-commis- sioned officers and between 20 and 50 for commissioned officers. WAVES are enlisted 'for the duration plus six months and will be assigned to shore duty only, replacing the men wherever possible. They will be under the com- mand of WAVE officers throughout their period of service. Women may enlist either as "yeo- ..en" or as "apprentice seamen." Yeo- men will receive four months training which will consist of classroom work, drill, sports and recreation, after which they will be assigned to active duty at some Naval or Air base de- pending upon their training. Apprentice seamen will receive one month's training after which some will be appointed "reserve midship- men." They will be given a three months communications course and will then be awarded commissions and assigned to active duty. The rest will be appointed "probationary officers" and will receive an additional month's training, after which the-y will receive commissions and be assigned to active duty. Officer candidates are trained at Smith College, Northampton, Mass. and at Mt. Holyoke at Holyoke, Mass.

OPA officials said that it would be impossible for persons not having No. 1 books to obtain them at present although they will be is- sued again at some future date. a Sign of Spring Dressing Unit .Women in Ordnance Courses May Be Closed To Be Graduated February 26 3t '"t.. ; . As an optimistic note that spring is not too remote, a silk afternoon dress like the one pictured above is a lively addition to any wardrobe. It can be worn for all dress-up occasions and the wearer will al- ways be properly and charmingly turned out. The slight draping in front is very slenderizing and is the only unusual thing about an otherwise effectively simple pat- tern. Accessories are very important to an outfit like this and must be chosen with care. Long gloves are both daring and attractive whether in contrast to, or blending in, with the colors in the print. The ample bag, in fabric to match the gloves, shoes and perky hat, will complete the simple, yet dressy ensemble.4 Prof. William McLaughlin will give the fifth of a series of French lectures sponsored by the Cercle Francais at 4:15 p.m. today at Alumni Memorial Hall. All persons interested in taking part in League activities can have their eligibility cards signed from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. every day this week and next week in the League. Minimum of Thirty Persons Must Attend Project at League The surgical dressing unit will be open tomorrow from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the game room of the League, and unless a minimum of 30 persons turn out each day the unit is open it will have to be closed, the committee an- nounced yesterday. An estimated 75 students volun- teered their services at the unit last, Friday. According to the central com- mittee the Michigan women are to be commended on this number of par- ticipants, as well as the amount of work accomplished. The Chi Omega sorority had the largest percentage of women represented at the unit last week. The Alumnae House, Adelia Chee-= ver, Sorosis, and Pi Beta Phi have been especially invited tomorrow, while the Ann Arbor girls, Alpha Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, and Gamma Phi Beta have been issued special invita. tions for Friday. By PEGGY LITTLE A group of women with "real effi- ciency", according to Col. Henry Mil- ler, general administrator of the Army Ordnance courses in the engi- neering school, will be graduated in the twelfth inspectors class and the second group trained in aircraft on Feb. 26. The graduates of the inspectors class will have completed a ten-week course in nine subjects, including drafting, math, chemistry of materi- als, physics of materials, shop proc- esses, and production methods. After graduation, members of the class will work for the government inspecting components of any type of fighting equipment. To Inspect Radios Recently a number of women in the inspector's course were trained to inspect radios. The tudents, at pres-J ent mostly women, receive such thor- ough training here that they are in' great demand in industry. Seven or eight hundred have already graduated P~u1preienii W/AA ntfi C Hearing is believing! If you think that the sportswoman is a thing of 4he past, we will proceed here to try to change your mind. They say that the things that you are searching for are often overlooked because they're too near at hand. Well, we just found out a second ago that one of our new tryouts on the Women's staff and an assistant on the WAA beat, is truly enthusiastic about sports. Margaret Whiteley, '45, a transfer from Baker University, Baldwin, Kansas, has been in AA just a week, and already knows more about the Michigan WAA than plenty of women who are finishing their fourth year here. Tuesday, Margaret went over to the Health Service and found out where she could get in some athletic activity. She was already familiar with the Women's Athletic Association, since she was captain of a basketball team, and athletic manager for her sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, at Baker. She promptly joined a class in modern dance and one in basketball, for which she receives no credit. Margaret, who claims she's not a redhead, is known as "Red", "Peggy", and even "Maggie", although she doesn't particularly like the last name mentioned. Her favorite sport is swimming, but she goes in for field hockey, volleyball, tennis, table tennis, aerial darts, bowling, and riding. She says "it's a means of self-expression for me along with poetry," which she has written since she was seven years old. Next ones on her list to learn are badminton and fencing. Margaret says she's never won any medals for sports, but plays a much better game when she has stiff competition. Her main ambition' is to play tennis well enough to receive an invitation for a set from her older brother. She's major- ing in psychology, however, although Peg wants to do community recrea- tion work. Have I convinced you, and are you surprised? Bet you would be even more surprised if you had the oportunity to count the number of Margaret Whiteleys on this campus. There is an amazingly large group of women who, while concentrating on getting their edt cation, still find time to enjoy phys- ical education work. How's your bowling form? Do you start your walk on the right foot and does that unwanted curve cramp your style? Let the instructors at the WAB bowling alleys, which have been reopened this semester, give you some pointers. Bring the one and only along if you like. The alleys are open from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. every day of the week, except Saturdays and Sundays. On Saturdays, they are available from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. By now you probably know what's cooking with the Figure Skating Club. The big event-Carnival International-will be presented at 8 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 28, at the Coliseum. The WAA group has a sailor number on the fire, and Nan Upson will be the soloist. Don't forget that residence houses may reserve a block of seats for the affair-if they buy 25 or more seats. Dance Club has a double-feature offer. It seems that members of the club who need phys ed credit may receive it by attending club meetings regularly. The definition of regularly is twice a week, at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at Barbour. Margy Giefel announces that those interested in the second indoor season tournament in badminton are to sign up on the bulletin board in Barbour gym immediately. Good riders and mediocre riders, attention please! Tryouts for Crop and Saddle will be held Tuesday, March 2, so get prepared. Those who don't make this club will be eligible for the University Women's Riding group. All for now. and have been placed as inspectors. Requirements for the course are a high school education and the age range is from nineteen to sixty-five. Members of the course range from high school graduates to holders of the master's degree. Many of the women have enrolled for the course because they want to DO something really constructive in war production. Program Strenuous The program, arranged by Prof. O. W. Boston, administrator in charge of instruction, 'is strenuous, but the women have proved that they can stand up under the all-day schedule. Four ordinance classes are going on at once, and a new one enters every five weeks. The fourteenth class for inspectors and the fourth aircraft course will begin March 1. The important job of inspecting was first carried on by men, but they were drafted into the army almost as soon as they graduated. For the first five classes after the school started on Jan. 19, 1942, only men were en- rolled. Then women were admitted and proved that they could stand up under the concentrated regime. Lady Marines' ToLDon Scarlet WASHINGTON.- ()- Yep, the lady Marines are going to wear that tcuch of scarlet which made the mas- culine Marines so irresistible to them before they joined up themselves. It won't be a stripe down the trou- sers, of course, but the Marines of the women's reserve will have a scar- let mnuffler and scarlet chinstrap on the visor of the cap to add that cer- tain something. The uniform itself is forest green and strictly tailored with a hip-length unfitted coat, straight skirt and matching topcoat. Shoes, shoulder- strap purse and gloves are of Army brown, the dress shoes a pump model with a flat bow on the vamp. Maj. Ruth Cheney Streeter, who left a home in Morristown, N.J., which she said "will run itself" to head the corps, turned up in the uni- form for the first time today at a press conference. She thinks she's joined "a jolly outfit," she said, but a fighting and working one, and she intends to supply the fighting corps with women to do the work at home. Smiling but determined, Maj. Stree- ter announced she would set out Tuesday on a several weks' nationwide tour of Marine posts and recruiting offices. Her first stop will be New York, then Pittsburgh and westward to the Pacific coast and return by the southern route. She expects to recruit the quota of 18,000 enlisted women and 1,000 offi- cers in double time. Officers Are Elected By Alpha Sigma Phi Alpha Sigma Phi has announced its officers for the spring term.
