Eight Weeks
Nancy Upson Urges Women
To Join Volunteer Hostesses
For Rest of Summer Term
At the recent meeting of the Uni-
versity USO Volunteers, plans were
made for the remaining eight weeks
of the summer term.
According to Nancy Upson, '44,
chairman of the meeting, the dance
last-week was "really a success. There
were plenty of girls, the dance was
well organized, and everyone seemed
to have a good time." She expressed
the hope that all of the coeds remain-
ing on campus for the second eight
.weeks would sign up in the Under-
graduate Office of the League.
"We're here to show the service-
men a good time, not to find a man
that will show us a good time," she
stated. As a result the girls should
do their part, asking the men to
dance and cutting in. With both the
men and women cutting in everyone
will have a better time and will meet
more people.
Acting upon the demand for "more
women!" that was encountered fre-
quently in the suggestion box, the
committee is planning a sign-up
drive to be conducted in all of the'
dormitories, and sororities. A num-
ber of "Paul Jones" and other mixer
dances will be held at the beginning
of the USO affairs to enable people
to get acquainted.
The USO dances willbe held every
Friday and Saturday night that there
isn't some other big campus function.
Reporting on previous attendance,
Miss Upson stated that most of the
servicemen who attend on Friday are
sailors and marines, while most of
the soldiers come on Saturday.
WACs Are Typical
Women-Utility Bags
Hold Queer Mixture
FORT DEVENS, Mass. -0P)- It
will take more than Army discipline
to change a woman's ideas about her
pocketbook.
An inquisitive-and hopeful-male
picked up a utility bag, the brown
leather one a Wac slings from her
shoulder, at the fourth WAC training
center and looked at the contents.
Among the things in it were: A
can opener, a green cucumber with
a little salt, an Indian head penny for
luck, an extra pair of stockings, a
toothbrush, the regular assortnent of
cosmeticstand facial issues, cigarets,
matches, a broken garter, a driver's
license, flishlight, keys, a crumpled
snapshot, a letter from home-

Open This Week
Contrary to a previous announce-
ment, the. Boymber Scholarship Ac-
quaintance Bureau will not be open
tomorrow and Tuesday, Mary June
Hastreiter, , said yesterday.
"With everyone studying for finals
and mid-semesters, we decided to
close the bureau for a week," she
stated. However, the bureau will be
open from 1:30 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. on
Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 23 and 24.
The. bureau requires all applicants
to register certain "vital statistics"
such as name, age, height, religious
preference and interests. On the basis
of these plus a personal evaluation by
the registrar, coke dates are arranged
for all applicants.
"After the bureau arranges the
coke date, the students and service-
men are on their own," Miss HastrPi-
ter stated. The man can ask the
woman out if he wishes or he may let
the bureau know and they will send
him another date. The girl may re-
fuse the date and receive another one
also.
Dressing Unit
To Close at End
Of Eight Weeks
"Every coed remaining on cam-
pus for the sixteen week term should
come to the Surgical Dressing Unit
this week," Jean Whittemore, '44,
chairman of the unit stated yester-
day.
The unit will be open prom 1 p.m.
to 5 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday
after which it will close for 10 weeks
until the opening of- the fall term.
"Every woman who ishnot studying
for or taking finals should make a
sincere. effort to work at least two
hours," Miss Whittemore added.
The closing of the unit for 10 weeks
at this time will mean a serious re-
duction in the number of dressings
Washtenaw county will be able to
send overseas to help in treating sur-
gical cases in the present invasion.
"As a result we should try to do all
we can in the few hours remaining
before the unit closes," she said.

WASHINGTON, IP)- The Waves
have cause for celebration.
Only a year old, already their or-
ganization has grown three times
larger than was planned, and de-
mands for its services are so great
that now the Navy aims to triple the
present enrollment by the end of
1944.
In a congratulatory message, Pres-
ident Roosevelt said that "in their
first y par, the Waves have proved
that they are capable of accepting
the highest, responsibility in the ser-
vice of their country. On behalf of
a grateful nation, I offer birthday
congratulations and a hearty 'well
done.'"
Release Many Men
More specifically, the Navy said
proudly that the women's auxiliary
has released enough men from shore
jobs to take a huge task force to sea.
When the President signed the act
creating the organization a year ago
today, plans were for 1,000 officers
and 10,000 enlisted women. The
Waves now number 27,000, and yes-
terday the Navy announced its inten-
tions to swell their numbers to 91,000
by the end of next ,year..
Duties Have Expanded
Said the Navy in noting the occa-
sion: "What was originally planned

It reported that large numbers are
serving in Navy communirations and
doing office work, and that more and
more requests are coming in daily
from shore establishments through-,
out the nation. Of the 27,000 Waves
now on duty, about 10,000 are still
in training and the largest group-
about 5.000-is serving in Washing-
