JGP for next year. This year the

$30,000 which they had set and it's
up to the prospective juniors to set
their own goal.
Program Is Described
Miss MacLaughlin will give a short
talk on the general aims of JGP and
then each one of the other members

committee they will work on.

eral chairman, is in charge of special
events to be given periodically during
the year. Betty Vaughn, secretary, is
in charge of stamp corsages for dan-
ces and will do research work with
other colleges. Treasurer Jane Arner
is in charge of collecting money and
keeping records.
Committee Duties
Claire Macaulay, Rita Bregman
and Jane Strauss are in charge of
dormitories, league houses and soror-
ities, respectively. It is their duty to
give out stamps tohouse representa-
tives and to see that houses sell asl
many stamps as possible.
Publicity chairman , Ann Schutz
will take care of The Daily publicity
and will also be in charge of the
booklet, "Stamping Around." Jeanne
Hotchkins will take care of the booths
which are located in the League and
in U Hall. Toddy Martz will direct
skits and songs which will be pre-
sented throughout the year.
WAC To Be Here

WAC Birthday
Marks Second
Year's
Service
By MARIAN SIPES
Birthday candles and pink frosting
will be the order of the day for the
Women's Army Corps on Sunday, as
it reaches its second birthday.
When the bill authorizing the crea-
tion of a corps was passed by Con-
;ress two years ago, the Army asked
the women to take over four military
jobs--drivers, typists. file clerks and
telephone operators. In July, 1942.
several hundred women began train-
ng at fort Des Moines, Iowa-enlist-
ing wtortnDesaMinesoIowaelst-ou
jobs the Army way, and officers to
administer the affairs of the troous.
After the Army got a look at the
work these "G.I. Janes" could tuxri
out the expansion of job classifica-
tions began. Now nearly 70,000 wo-
men in the Army are doing 239 differ-
ent military jobs, here and overseas.
Wear Branch Insignia
And now it's the Army-male and
female. Although the women begin
their training as WAC, they even-
tually wear the insignia of the branch
with which they serve, in place of the
"Pallas Athene," the Women's Army
Corps insignia.
Women Army officers are serving'
on the War Department General
Staff, and with the American Em-
bassy at London. The Army's enlisted
women are weather observers with
the Air Corps in England, ballistics,
specialists with Ordnance, medical
technicians at Army hospitals, pho-
tographers with Signal Corps, ling-
uists with Psychological warfare and'
artists with Morale Service. A woman
electrical specialist checks generators,
in Liberator bombers at an air base-
one of the first members of WAC to
draw flight pay.
"These two years are a proud testi-
mony to the stuff of which American
women are made," the War Depart-
ment said in a release recently. The
War Department has made WAC en-
listment increasingly attractive in
this past year by offering the AirE
WACs, in which a woman may joinE
the Air Corps, and the 120 Day Plan.
May Register Now
Under this new plan University1
women may register for service now,
take all preliminary examinations
except the medical, and not be sub-
ject to active call within a maximum
of 120 days.
"This permits," Lt. Rogers, WAC,
stationed at the League, explained,
"a woman to be certain of her accep-
tance before making other palns for
the summer and the duration.
WAVE recruiting will be con-
tinued from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today
and tomorrow by Ensign Jean
CouTtney and Harriet Simonson at
the League Recruiting Booth.
Song Leaders
oMeet Today
Lantern Night Chairmen Will
Draw for Places on Program
Lantern Night song chairmen of
dormitories, sororities and league
houses are again reminded that a
compulsory meeting will be held at 5
p.m. today in the Correctives Room
of the Barbour Gym.
At this meeting, drawing for places
on the Lantern Night program, to
be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday, May 22,
at Palmer Field, will take place. The
song leaders are asked to bring the,
names of the song to be given by their
house to the meeting. If the chair-
man is unable to attend, a substitute
must be sent..
Lantern Night is a traditional WAA

new 120-Day Plan to Miss Ethel McCormick, social director of the { men, and is given every year in the

WSSF Book
Drive Deadline
To Be May 26
Pan Hellenic and Assembly have
set Friday, May 26, as the deadline by
which time all the books collected for
the WSSF drive must be completely
cleaned and ready to be crated for
shipment.
These books are on their way to
prison camps in Germany and Japan
where they will be used to help Amer-
ican prisoners of war maintain their
interest in life and mental happiness.
The books must- be entirely free from
pencil and ink marks before they are
shipped., because the Axis, fearing
coded messages, excludes all books
with markings from entry into the
concentration camps.
The books are in the Undergradu-
ate Office at the League arid women
may erase from 9 a.m. to noon and
from 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. every day. All
materials such as erasers and ink
eradicator are supplied. '
Because some of the books are so
badly marked up and to clean one of
them requires a long time, a plan
has been devised whereby individual
houses may sign books out for a week
at a time.
After the books have been col-
lected, they will be crated and ship-
ped to the central office of World
Student Service Fund in New- York.
Novel Patron
Entertainment
IPlanned
A novel method of entertaining the
patrons invited to "Boulevard Ball,"
which will be given from 9 p.m. to
midnight. Saturday, May 27, in Wat-
erman Gymnasium, will be introduced
at a meeting at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow in
the League for all women interested
in working on the patrons' committee.
According to Lee Chaice, '46, and
Nora MacLaughlin, '46, co-chairmen
of the patrons committee, this new
plan will enable those women who
do not care to take a date to the
dance to have an active part in mak-
ing the event a success anyway.
Many women now on campus are
married, engaged or pinned to men
who are not here and wouldn't like
to take a date to the dance, but
would like to attend in some other
capacity.
Under the new arrangements, the
women who volunteer for this com-
mittee will attend the dance dressed
in formals and will help to entertain
the faculty guests and their wives,
and, incidentally, see the floor show
that is being planned for intermis-
sion.
"Boulevard Ball," the first dance
to be given jointly by sorority and
independent women, will feature mu-
sic by Jerry Wald and his orchestra.
Ioon te 'e y or pring Play
"Although the clay courts are being
put into condition as quickly as post
sible, it will still be two weeks beforej
they will be ready for use." Harriet
Risk, '46. manager of the Tennis
Club, said yesterday.
A board for court re,,ervatons will
be placed at the WAL on May 15, for
the coeds to sign up for the reserved
courts. Only one hour a day may be
signed up for and the signing can
only be done on the day of playing.
Printed below are the rules for the
use of the tennis cowurs on Palmer
Field.
L .All playet:i; , I r ilv t lrer
soled shoes.
2. Single games must be rnited to
r hour if there are womnn waiting
to play.
3. Double ganes must be limited to
one hour if there are women waiting
to play.
4. Men must not under any circum-
stances use the courts when women
are waiting to play. This eliminates
mixed doubles when women are wait-
ing to play.
5. The courts' are not available
during the hours that classes are
scheduled.
6. For week-end play it is necessary
to sign the name, the hour reserved
and the court number on the reserva-
tion board. Each player must sign
her name. Only one hour per day
may be reserved.
A line of march, starting in frontl
of the Library at 7 p.m. will precede1
the Sing, with the seniors dressed in
caps and gowns and the undergrad-
uates wearing colored bows in their
hair--yellow for juniors, red for soph-
omores and green for freshmen.
The committee for Lantern Night
is headed by Shelby Dietrich, '45,
chairman, assisted by Jean Gaffney,
