For a parting shot, Alpha Phi frosh, PHYL WISTING, took “STRAP" STROHECKER'S pin again!! 1 A word from our sponsor, the Emerald. Read it. Ad Lib (Continued from f'acje Hvo) moors the other night was Bill’s promise that, hidden way down deep somewhere that would never be suspected by the alfalfa lis teners, the station had salted away big fat transcriptions by Luncefort and Kenton and others within the pale. And, bless him, he was telling the truth. We kept each other company to the gutty chomping of the Great Grunt combo’s “Blues in F Minor.” And then there was one after another of the fine Lunceford tunes that he never put on phonograph wax: “Walk ing Through Heaven With You,” “The Morning After,” etc. Long after the transmitter had been turned off, I was still knocking myself out on some Sonny Dun ham and we had just scratched the surface of good music in the station’s libe. If you are asking why Wm. doesn't spin this stuff instead of all the class Q that is aired, there is an answer: A radio station is an advertising- medium—and you have to appeal to the market. Whether the market has straw in its mane or zippers on its cuffs, you give 'em whatever will keep them listening, so, as a rule, the only time you pick up reet music in this area is after the farm hands have turned in. Coeds Elect (Continued from (age one) AWS and YWCA officers will be announced as soon as ballots are counted following the assem bly, and WAA officers will bo announced at their banquet Thursday night. “Be there as soon as possible following your 10 o’clock,” urge the members of the AWS council. “And most important of all, be there.” s \ First of alts is the WAAC rcallu needed f Emphatically yes! Already the President has authorized the Corps to expand from 25,000 to 150,000. The Air Forces and Signal Corps have asked for thousands of WAAC mem bers to help with vital duties. Both Ground Forces and Services of Supply are asking for thousands more. Members of the WAAC may be assigned to duty with the Army any where — some are already in Africa and England. * Can the WAAC really help vein the war? The whole idea of the WAAC is to replace trained soldiers needed at the front. If American women pitch in how to help our Army (as women in Britain, Russia and China do), we can hasten Victory — and peace. What can my college education contributed College training is important equipment for many WAAC duties too long to list. Cryptography, drafting, meteorology, laboratory work, Link trainer and glider instructing, for ex ample. If you are a senior you may enroll at once and be placed on inactive duly until the school year ends. See your WAAC faculty adviser for more details. But can I live comfortably on WAAC pay? There are few civilian jobs in which you could earn clear income, as WAAC enrolled members do, of $50 to $138 a month — with all equipment from your toothbrush to cloth ing, food, quarters, medical and dental care provided. WAAC officers earn from $15§ to $333.33 a month. Some questions and answers of interest to every patriotic college woman The drilling sounds so strenuous—t Nonsense! Hie most beautiful women in America today are die girls in khaki! Some calisthenics and drilling are vital to general good health, discipline and tuned-up reflexes. After a few weeks at Fort Des Moines, Daytona Beach or tho new Fort Oglethorpe training center you’ll feel better than ever in your life. Maybe I wouldn't like the work? People are happiest doing what they do well. Every effort is made to place you where your service will count most toward final Victory. You may have some latent talent that will fill a particular need for work interesting and new to women — such as repairing the famous secret bombsight, rigging parachutes, operating the fascinating new electronic devices — or driving an Army jeep over foreign terrain. Then S have a chance to learn something new? Yes, indeed. And the list of WAAC duties grows constantly. The training and experience you get in the WAAC may equip you for many stimulating new careers opening up for women. What are my chance» of promotion? Excellent. The Corps is expanding rapidly and needs new officers, both commissioned and noncommissioned. Those who join noiv have the best chances. All new officers now come up through the ranks. If qualified, you may obtain a commission in 12 weeks after beginning basic training. Whitt is the age range and other requirementst Very simple. You may join if you are a U. S. citizen, aged 21 to 44, inclusive, at least 5 feet tall and not over 6 feet, in good health — regardless of race, color or creed. But the Army needs you now — don’t delay. Total War won’t wait! Linguists needed. If you speak and write Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French, German or Italian, see your local Army recruiting office notv! You are needed for interpreting, cryptography, communications. ^jonteit^ ^rmy Jj^uxiliarg jj orps "KKP'EM nYlHG? For further information see your nearest IT. S. ARMY RECRUITING AN INDUCTION STATIO 2 9
