Twenty-Seven Women Needed Immediately For Part-Time Work
Twenty-seven jobs are open to women students, Marie Miller, director of women's employment said today.
Most of the jobs, unfilled at present are for part-time or for four-hour stenographic work in offices. Some of the work requires a knowledge of medical and bacteriology terms. Regular calls are received at the office for care of children, clerking in down town stores, and meal service in restaurants, tea rooms, and boarding clubs.
Students interested in work should take their class schedules to the employment bureau in room 104, Fraser hall. About one hundred cards are on file but there is an urgent need for student help in mornings.
"The office work has changed from finding jobs to finding people," Miss Miller said. A bulletin board with a list of available jobs will be posted outside the employment bureau door where students may check for work.

OFFICERS TELL---ably would not be deferred any longer than the rest of the academic year, but would not be needed before next March. Men 18 to 26 years of age, unmarried, and with a high school diploma are wanted in this V-5 program. Lt. Harrison described the 13-months training awaiting enlistees, and remarked that about 90 per cent of the fliers would operate from land bases, and that only about one student in forty could expect to be assigned to duty on an aircraft carrier.
Intensive Work For Marines
Capt. G. L. Norris, of the marines, told of the rapid expansion of the marines, gave an account of their history, and spoke of their function in taking, holding, and fortifying bases for the navy. Candidates for officer's posts must be between 17 and 26 years of age and doing satisfactory school work. Only in case of necessity, Capt. Norris said, will men not graduated from college be made officers. An intensive training course will be given at Quantico, Va., after which those who pass become second lieutenants. After additional training the men are ready for combat duty.
"The Army Air Force is the easiest of all branches to get into, and the hardest to stay in," according to Lt. Roland Lando. The air corps cadets program is definitely a deferment plan, the speaker said, and students are urged to remain in school as long as possible. An enlistment board will visit the University in about three weeks to examine and enlist students at the campus.
Annapolis Not Enough
Ensign William Weld of the navy, spoke on two deferment programs, V-1 and V-7. Annapolis can no longer meet the demand for officers, Ensign Weld stated, and trained university students must fill the gap. The navy is not composed entirely of fine physical specimens, but of specialists, said Ensign Weld. He concluded with a description of the enlistment qualifications and the training offered in the two programs.
Chancellor Malott closed the meeting with an announcement that the speakers would be in the Union building this afternoon for individual conferences.

DON COSSACK--of the southern steppes. When that choir was organized among a group of exiled cossacks in Prague, it took its name from the musical general; and because there were so many Cossacks districts in Imperial Russia, they identified themselves by including the name of the 1,200 mile river Don.
D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, asks that purchasers of season tickets who have not already obtained them call at the Fine Arts office tomorrow between 9 and 12 a.m. or 1:30 and 4 p.m. Those desiring season tickets should arrange to procure them tomorrow or they may purchase a single admission ticket for the Cossacks and by presenting the stub of their ticket at the Fine Arts office later, they will be allowed credit towards the season ticket.
