Uniformed Women Doing Good Job Women in uniform are no longer a military experiment; they are undoubtedly doing good work. In some jobs-typing, switch board operation, clerical duty—WAACs not only relieve soldiers for combat duty, they also do the jobs better. But as an automobile driver one WAAC is equal to only three-quarters of a soldier because of having less physical endurance.
Nearest thing to combat duty is manning instrument detectors for anti-aircraft batteries.
Women have been volunteering at the rate of 4,500 a week lately. Present strength is about 45,000 including 14,000 who have graduated and gone to work, 202 of them to North Africa. General Eisenhower has requested many more.
WAVEs take a thorough course in naval law, naval traditions, naval organization afloat and ashore and take a thorough course in ships and aircraft. Four thousand WAVEs are now on active duty.
To Admit Freshman Class in June To permit boys to attend one or two semesters of college before they are called for military service, Rutgers university will admit a freshman class in June.
Name of Play Is Changed Again
Although leopards cannot change their spots, plays can change their names. This is certainly demonstrated by Professor Allen Crafton's all-girl play, "Distinguished Service."
Professor Crafton wrote the play, and then not having a suitable name in mind, had a public reading at which he offered $10 to anyone suggesting a title. None were offered, so the play became, "Valor Stood Beside Them," until something better was offered.
Last week, Professor Crafton did find something better, and the play became "Spring, 1942." Still not satisfied, the professor again changed the title, this time to "Distinguished Service." Commenting on this last title, Professor Crafton said, "It's a good name, even if I did pick it myself."
"Distinguished Service" will have a three day run March 30 and 31, and April 2. Reserved seat tickets will go on sale Thursday, March 25.
Dot, Dottie or Dorothy, she is still Lamour, although for the first time in many pictures she wears modern clothes and not a sarong. Co-starred with Bob Hope, she is part of the hilarious spy-hunt film, "They Got Me Covered," now at the Jayhawker for one entire week.
