WAAC’s Lt. Horn Goes 'On Guard’ for Recruits By ANNE CRAVEN There >s an immediate need for linguists and musicians in the WAACs, Lt. Margaret Horn, WAAC representative with the army mobile recruiting unit, said Wednesday. Musicians are needed for the third WAAC band. Linguists are needed as interpreters and cryptographers in Spanish, Portuguese, French and German. . Lt. Horn stated that college training was not necessary for the various types of work in the WAACs but that it made things easier, especially when the WAAC was taking training for specific types of work, such as administra tion or communication. Limit Still 21 Denying the rumor that 18-year old girls could enter the WAACs if they have had two years of col lege, Lt. Horn said that the lowest age limit is 21 and that this could not be changed unless Congress passed a bill lowering the age limit. “It is entirely possible that they may do so ill the future,” she said. She also stated that she did not think a girl should quit in the middle of her college year and join the WAACs. “She can take the tests and if she passes them, be put in a re serve until she finishes her school year.” Lt. Horn did not suggest any courses that a prospective WAAC could take to prepare her self except to be sure to take phy sical education, both team sports and body building. WAACS in AEF There are GO WAACS on duty in Africa, Lt. Horn said. They are doing clerical, supply, communi cations, and personnel work. Sev eral hundred are in the aircraft warning service on the east coast of the United States and more will be sent later to other sections. Lt. Horn added that “they will not necessarily replace all of the civ ilian aircraft workers, however.” “Congress has recently increas ed the WAAC quota to 150,000 but there have been requests from army posts for many more than that number,” Lt. Horn contin ued. Training centers are at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, Daytona Beach, Florida, and Fort Ogle thorpe, Georgia. There are also other specialist schools but none in the Pacific Northwest. After four weeks basic training, the WAAC is given additional training in specialized schools ac cording to the type of training and previous experience. These schools are motor transport, administra tion, radio, communication, and cooks and bakers. New training is now open for all types of ground duties for the air forces — para chute riggers, glider instructors, mechanics, etc. “Reveille for the WAAC is Welcome Signs All houses having “Welcome, Dad” signs were requested Thursday by Jim Thayer, Dads’ Day committee chairman, to display them over the weekend. 6:30 a.m.,” Lt. Horn said. “Drill, academic training, and physical training keep her busy until 5 p. m. From Saturday noon until Monday morning reveille is free time for the WAAC. Civilian clothes may be worn anytime when off duty and off the post.” First Nighter A former supervisor of student teaching at Central State college at Edmond, Oklahoma, Lt. Horn “joined up” the day the WAACs were first open for enlistment. She also attended the first offic ers’ candidate school in July, 1942. “I joined because I felt that it was the way I could most benefit the war effort, and that people not eligible for the WAACs could take my place in civilian life,” she said. Lt. Horn will leave Thursday morning for Roseburg, Marsh field, and the coastal towns. Claycomb Nails Heart Hop Title Blitzkrieging feminine affec tion on a campus-wide scale, Keith Claycomb of Campbell club, took precedence over Fijis, ATOs, and even Betas Thursday after noon, in the four sororities of the hop as that pasha of pulmonaries, his majesty, the King of Hearts. Disaster in disguise, the hop hepcats helped Claycomb to a throne and then proceeded to threw him—into the mill race. His fellow Campbells lost control in their, exuberance and dumped him, ceremonial robes and all, into the race, by way of baptism. With admirable restraint for so influential and damp a per sonage, Claycomb proceeded to divest himself of his imperial raiment, donned new apparel and appear at the Pi Phi, Alpha Phi, Alpha Chi O and Gamma Phi houses in his royal office, culmin ating a “really successful” hop, as Ruth Van Buskirk, publicity chairman, described it.
