WAVE Explains Career To AWS
Excitement, occasional long hours, and the opportunity to meet interesting people are promised to any woman who becomes a WAVE officer by Lt. (j.g.) Eileen Lardner, U.S.N., office of naval officer procurement, Kansas City, Mo.
Speaking before the Associated Women Students' house, Lieutenant Lardner said that 60 women are selected each year to be trained as WAVE officers. Half of these women enter training in January and the other half enter in July. Only college graduates between the ages of 21 and 25 are eligible.
The majority of the women chosen attend the naval line school at Newport, R.I., where for five months they study communications, leadership, operations, strategy and tactics, and naval customs and traditions. They are then sent to the United States where they spend 36 months. Any WAVE is then eligible to apply for overseas duty.
If a woman is not sent to the line school, she will be trained for either the medical corps or the supply corps.
A candidate must pass an examination in chemistry, biology, or psychology before she can be assigned to the medical corps. She will then receive training in a naval hospital.
Lieutenant Lardner stressed the advantage of a business degree as a prerequisite to acceptance in the supply corps. These candidates spend six months at Bayonne, N.J., where they receive basic training.
Each woman is free to leave the service when she desires.
Miss Martha Peterson, assistant dean of women, is taking the names of any women who are interested in joining the WAVES. Applications should be made by Wednesday.

Driver Parks Car At Bar After Ignoring Tavern Sign
Cleveland, O —U(P).Rolfe's Tavern, in Cleveland, has a sign in its front window, "Drop in, but please don't drive in."
A customer did just that after getting into an argument with the bartender over a glass of beer. He drove his car through the plate-glass front window and parked it in front of the bar.

League Of Nations Palace Hums With UN Activity
French orphans receive their share of food, part of which came from Kansas farms, through the Christian Rural Overseas program.
Geneva—(U.P.)The palace of the defunct League of Nations, acres of building completed just before the League collapsed, is today the scene of more international conferences than ever before.
The ten million dollar palace of stone and marble is now the crowded Eudopean headquarters of the United Nations. It is more crowded than during the League's palmiest days.
Earlier this year harrassed U. N. officials even considered adding a "skyscraper" to the building to house overflow agencies. They withdrew that plan after the Swiss objected that the 12-story tower planned would be a regrettable "American" innovation which would ruin their landscape.
Some 1,250 persons work in the palace today, compared to about 400 in normal League periods. During big conferences, their advisers increase the number to 2,500. More than 1,000 meetings took place here in the first eight months of 1949, which compares favorably with the number held at Lake Success during a similar period.
Pre-war tourists who remember the stately League building, set in a park overlooking the lake would find it outwardly unchanged.
Inside the building the visitor is struck by the predominance of the American accent. The United States never joined the League. Today, Americans outnumber the other nationalities in Geneva.
The same golden sphere of the Zodiaic, a gift of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, stands on the lawn beneath huge cedars of Lebanon. The same peacocks—or their Descendants—roam the vast lawns and flower beds. Busses filled with sightseers still drive up hourly.
The European headquarters of the U. N. and several specialized agencies fill the palace to overflowing. The International Refugee Organization, the World Health Organization, the Economic Commission for Europe and the United National Relief for Palestine Refugees have headquarters here.
The U. N. Economic and Social Council, one of the major bodies of the U. N., has held its summer session in Geneva twice and will do so again next year.
The palace's assembly hall, which seats 2,000 persons, used to house the famous League assembly.
A world conference drew up three conventions on freedom of information here last year. The U. N. Palestine commission wrote and signed its famous report recommending partition in Geneya in 1947.
Nearly 1,000 delegates representing 23 of the world's largest trading nations carried out the greatest tariff negotiations in history at a six-months conference here in 1947.
The most glamorous room in the palace, the former League Council Chamber, with murals by the Spanish painter, Jose Maria Sert, is closed most of the time. This seems to old-timers here symbolic of a certain loss of glamour by Geneva in the post-war days.
Chicago. —(U.P.)—State's Attorney Jack Boyle says 5,000 narcotic addicts roaming Chicago streets steal to buy drugs. Police Commissioner John C. Prendergast estimated that the average addict steals $0 to $40 a day to satisfy his cravings.

Shift In Business Relations Seen
Increasing government direction of business enterprise has resulted in the rise of the welfare state and the shift of power from business management to employees, H. K. L'Eucuyer, associate professor of industrial management, s.aid recently. He talked to the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers in Lindley auditorium.
Opportunities for business leaders must come about through taking constructive attitudes toward existing conditions, Mr. L'Eucuer said. To improve business management he suggested that corporations need to have wider ownership of companies, business leaders must support and sponsor development of ideas by businessmen, and that business leaders must develop a broader sense of responsibility in their own communities.

Fowler Discusses Symbolism In Art
The importance of studying the medievel period of art is that symbols used by artists of this period were meaningful, in comparison with those used today, Clayton Fowler, assistant professor of drawing and painting said.
Mr. Fowler said that the artist of today finds it difficult to find symbols which are meaningful to everyone, yet you expect him to be creative. Creativeness in the modern sense means just to be different, Mr. Fowler added.
Using slides to illustrate his discussion, Mr. Fowler traced symbolism used from the fifth century to the 12th century showing the difference in attitudes toward Christianity.
Symbols in the fifth century indicated an optimistic attitude, with the idea of salvation symbolistically presented in art. In the 12th century, the art representations were symbolic of a pessimistic attitude of religion.
