Ensign Hill Tells of Need
For Wave Enlistments
By BETTY ROBERTSON
“Every time the United States navy issues a call for men
and women to keep its vast forces manned with trained per
sonnel, it is a serious challenge,” said Ensign Elizabeth Hill oi
the office of naval officer procurement in Portland, who is inter
viewing girls in Gerlinger hall every day for two weeks. It
means that thousands of patriotic American citizens must
respond. Ships and planes are com
ing off the lines each month in
record numbers, but the effective
ness of fighting forces depends to
a great measure on the efficiency
of establishments ashore.”
In explaining the need for Wave
enlistees, Ensign Hill stated that
much of the shore work is being
done by trained women to replace
trained men for fighting assign
ments, and that twelve hundred
women all over the United States
must be convinced every week of
the need and importance of the
jobs to be done by them.
‘‘Most college-trained girls don’t
know the kinds of jobs they can do
for the United States navy,” the
Ohio ensign said earnestly. ‘‘Orig
inally there were three ratings
which were open to Waves, but
now there are 257. From each regi
ment at Hunter college, girls are
selected to be link trainer instruc
tors, control tower operators, hos
pital corpsmen, photographers
tors, control tower operators, per
storekeepers, personnel super
visors, radiomen, gunnery in
structors, mail clerk, cable cen
sors, recruiters, physical educa
tion instructors, recreation super
visors, company assistants, chap
lains' assitants, parachute riggers,
pigeou trainers, draftsmen, film
editors, magazine writers, and so
on.”
In answer to many questions she
stated that the Waves as a rule
may choose the sort of job they
prefer, and that there in some kind
of job for every girl, regardless of
her civilian background. She also
told about the two ways college
women may qualify for officers’
training at Smith college. One is
by taking applicants directly from
civilian life, the other by taking
applicants from the enlisted per
sonnel after six months of active
service with the navy.
Ensign Hill extended an invita
tion to all interested University
women to come in and talk with
her about the Waves. For an ap
pointment, call at Dean Hazel P.
Sehwering's office or at the U. S.
navy recruiting station, 1252. She
will answer questions on any
aspect of the Waves training, sal
ary, privileges^ uniforms, and many
other things.
Elizabeth Hill herself trained at
Smith college, Northampton, Mas
sachusetts, and was commissioned
an officer in April, 1943. She has
had various naval duties, and just
recently returned from New York,
where she escorted 75 Wave en
listees from the 13th naval district.
Her home town is Bellevue, Ohio,
and she has attended Miami uni
versity, where she received her
B.S. degree, Wellesley college,
M.A., and the University of Chi
cago, graduate work. While in
school she was a member of Delta
Gamma sorority, Mortar Board,
sophomore women’s honorary, Phi
Beta Kappa, and many other lion
ora ries and clubs.

Talks Postwar
A group of approximately fifty
interested civilian students, pro
fessors, and townspeople attended
the opening meeting of the Total
Victory league last night at Ger
linger hall.
Peggy Magill, president, ex
plained the aims of the organiza
tion, and Dean Victor P. Morris, of
the business administration school,
introduced some of the problems
facing the postwar world.
“Discussions strengthen and add
another weapon to those fighting
the war,” he remarked. “During
World War I there were no such
groups as this discussing problems
01 peace.’”
As a result, when the League of
Nations was established, there was
no unity of public opinion in this
country to back up the United
States’ stand in the situation, he
brought out.
He presented the points which he
believes necessary for a postwar
world: 1. Collective security; 2.
Parliamentary procedure, in a con
tinuous organization to work on
problems as they arise; 3. Partici
pation of all peoples; 4. Constant
participation of the United States.
Questions brought up by mem
! bers of the group were: Are sanc
tions necessary? Are a world court
and police force important? Howr
could collective security provide
for migration of peoples? The
place of synthetic materials.

Dr. Sanchez Urges Reading
Of Latin-American Novels
The novel in Latin America is a realistic picture of current
social and political trends in the republics which have produced
it. Dr. Luis-Alberto Sanchez, outstanding Peruvian-born author
and literary critic, told a University audience Tuesday night.
In a discussion of ‘The Latin American Novel and Its Social
Content” Dr. Sanchez urged North-Americans to read novels
produced in nations to the south
as a means of bettering under
standing between peoples.
“In South America we are be
ginning to develop a knowledge of
North American literature,’’ he ob
served, indicating also that for the
first time peoples of the southern
republics are forming a true pic
ture of the average North-Am
erican, replacing the impression
caused by former “big stick" and
“dollar diplomacy’’ policies. “The
present day novel is the introduc
tion to our real mind and prob
lems,” he told listeners.
The novel in Latin America has
appeared in almost every case to
gether with the recognition of an
important social or political prob
lem, Dr. Sanchez declared. He cited
as an example the literary devel
opment of all types in Argentina
during the latter part of the 19t.h
century, when that nation was
faced with an immense European
immigration problem,
j Dr. Sanchez, considered the fore
most Latin-American literary critic
of the present time, is the author
of several books on literary criti
cism, politics, and history. He is a
personal friend of Raul Haya de
La Torre, originator and leader at
j present of APRA (Alianza Popular
j Revolucionaria Americana) move
ment in Peru.
j Haya de la Torre, whom he con
siders “the outstanding man in
South America today,” was exiled
for political activities in 1923, was
a candidate for president in the
1931 voting and in 1936, when, as
Dr. Sanchez told listeners, he ac
tually won the election. “Realizing
the decisive election results that
the APRA party was winning, gov
ernment officials declared voting
invalid, prolonging for three years
the term of the president then
serving.”
Himself active in the organiza
tion, which advocates education of
Indian populations and actual
practice of democratic doctrines,
Dr. Sanchez was exiled from Peru
in 1932 and again in 1934. Back in
his native country for a period of
eight days, including New Year's
eve of this year, he conferred three
hours with the APRA leader, now
in hiding in Peru.
Asked by his audience to explain
“Aprismo,” the lecturer described
the movement as a continental
trend in Latin America, not purely
Peruvian, although its main de
velopment was realized in that
country. Following adoption of
the new American “good neighbor’
policy, the party advocated close

The junior’s “vod-vill,” a variety

The traditional Canoe Fete took

famous. Also featured then was a

by the University men’s choir.
This year there will be no Canoe
