Ensign Tells Women
Of Need for More Waves
“This talk about the manpower shortage is not so much imag
ination and fluff,” Ensign Elizabeth Hill of the Wave recruit
ing office in Portland, told several University of Oregon stu
dents who were interested in the Waves. “There is a genuine
need for additional enlistments in the women’s services," she
said.
A graduate of Miami university,
Oxford, Ohio, in 1936, Ensign Hiil
received her master’s degree from
Wellesley college a year later and
then taught Latin in high school.
While in college she was a Phi
Beta Kappa, and a member of Mor
tar Board and Delta Gamma
sorority.
Asked what chance a college girl
has of becoming an officer, Ensign
Hill said that officer candidates
are still being taken directly from
civilian life, but some of the best
officers arc those chosen from the
ranks after six months of training.
Officers must have had four years
of college or two of college and
two of business experience.
Requirements for Wave enlist
ment demand that the recruit must
be at least 20 years old, and if
under 21 have her parents’ con
sent; teeth must be in good condi
tion at the time she signs up; her
vision must at least be cori’ected
with glasses; she must not be
shorter than four feet eleven inch
es; with weight in proportion to
height; the latest educational re
quirement is that she have com
pleted at least two years of high
school.
Alter "boot training at wunter
college, where naval history, or
ganization, correspondence, and
personnel, drill and physical educa
tion is learned, a Wave is allowed
to choose her own post and as
nearly as possible is sent there.
She is eligible for 14 days’ leave
every year and receives an ample
number of 48-hour passes.
Ensign Hill also said that there
Is little distinction made between
the uniforms of the officer group
and the enlisted group. Base pay
begin at $50 for an apprentice sea
man, is $78 for a third class petty
officer (a rating often received
after advanced training), and is
$138 for ,a chief petty officer.
There is a $200 uniform allowance
and no room, board, tax, or med
ical expense to pay. Ensign Hill
reports that there is very little
close supervision of Waves in the
barracks.
A girl may be sworn in on her
20th birthday if she begins ex
aminations and papers a month
beforehand. First papers may be
signed at the recruiting station
here, and the navy will pay trans
portation to Portland for the
swearing in process.
There are many openings for
yeomen and storekeepers, the re
cruiter said, and 20 per ent of the
Waves work in aviation as link
trainer instructors, control tower
operators, parachute riggers, avia
tion machinist mates, and pho
tographer's mates. Other oppor
tunities exist in the hospital corps,
in radio technician work, in post
offices overseas censoring and
sorting mail, r.nd in assistant chap
lain work as organists.
“The navy will never be able
to get along without the Waves,1'
Ensign Hill quoted Vice-Admiral
McIntyre.

The first of the finalists ap

indication has been made as to
how many finalists will be chosen.
From them, three contestants will
be selected to compete in Cleveland
in June. The winner will be of

Charm program.
Because Miss Rogndahl will be
absent Tuesday, March 28, a con

until Tuesday, April 11. The young
singer is expected to return April
10, in time to appear on this pro

Nilsson, professor of voice.

Co-featured at the assembly was
the installation of associated wom
en students officers. Mary Riley
was installed as president; Ardis
Jensen, vice-president; Signe Elt
lund, secretary; Mary McCland
less, treasurer; Beatrcie King, ser
geant-at-arms; and Rose an n
Leckie, reporter. Symbol of their
responsibilities, a red rose, was
given to each of the new officers
by Marilyn Campbell, retiring
president.
Ensign Elizabeth Hill from the
Portland recruiting office, was in
troduced to the girls by Miss
Campbell, and she announced that
she would be in the dean of wom
en’s office all day Friday to speak
to any coeds interested in t'ne
Waves. Ensign Hill, a graduate of
Miami university, member of Phi
Beta Kappa and Mortar Board,
emphasized the fact that she was
not urging girls to drop out of col
lege in order to enlist in the
armed forces. However, she stated
that 92,400 Waves are needed by
the navy before the end of 1944
and every woman should recon
sider her future.

To Mess Together
The ASTP has joined the air
corps. Only in the matter of eat
ing, however. Beginning today
the pre-meds on the campus will
eat at Hendricks hall with the
air corps men.
Reason for the joint eating
facilities is that the kitchen at
John Straub hall is equipped
for a much larger number of
people and it would not be eco
nomical to maintain separate
kitchens.

Jack Nichols of Washington was the only other player in the
Northwest conference league to be named on the team.
Hobby Hobson, who is the only basketball coach in the
Northwest on the association board of directors, is now at a
DasKetoan association meeting.
Hobson is representing the North- j
west on a three-man committee
which will interview the national j
rules committee. While there he j
will present a number of protests. ,
Among the many things that are
considered by him to be wrong are
the marketing of new basketball
equipment without the approval of
the N.C.A.A. and the coaches.
Another point up for protest is
the raising of the baskets or the j
passing of rules to outlaw the
playing of men over 7 feet. Any
rule that would be passed against
the playing of tall men would be ;
very unfair to the men. They can’t
help it if they are tall and they
have just as much right to play
as a short man.
If a player is able to keep the !
opponents’ shots f rom going
through the hoop more power to
him. There are many teams in the i
nation that have ways of shooting j
to keep the goal tender from bat- I

and thus kept the ball out of the

There has been a proposed rule
change that would prohibit the use
of a zone defense. Even though the
zone defense has been very effec
tive in use against the Webfoots
Hobson believes that the coaches
should be able to develop a way of
breaking through the zone.
The only thing he approves of
is raising the number of personal
fouls allowed from four to five.
