This year the junior women topped the goal of $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 of the central committee will tell of their duties.

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.

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.

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.
