Leaflet Shows Type of Work Undertaken By Dr. Barnett Evidence of the type of work which Dr. Homer G. Barnett, assistant professor of anthropology and assistant curator of anthropology who left the University in December, is doing in Washington D. C. is a booklet received recently by Dr. L. S. Cressman, head of the anthropol ogy department. Entitled “Survival on Land and Sea,” it was published by the enthnogeographic board and staff of Smithsonian institution for the United States navy. Dr. Barnett is executive secre tary of a committee of the board which is made up of scientists who are compiling a stock of all known scientific information about the Pacific islands. Although he had nothing to do with the booklet, “Survival on Land and Sea,” his committee will write a similar 1: book for the use of the armed forces. The ethnogeographic board was organized by a number of scien tific research foundations and the Smithsonian institute, on whose bureau of American ethnology Dr. Barnett is senior ethnologist. Its purpose is to provide the services of experts in different parts of the world for use of the army and navy. Problems received from the war and navy departments are an swered by giving maps, photo graphs, and information valuable in planning landings. Dr. Barnett was chosen for the board through a roster of scien jAific and specialized personnel founded by the national research council, and now under the war manpower commission.

Gamma Alpha C Chooses Officers For Young Women (20-36) I Questions, Answers About the WAVES Do all WAVES begin as ap prentice seamen? Yes, even officer candidates. However, after the indoctrination and training period there are auto matic promotions. Higher ratings thereafter depend on ability and length of service. How do qualifications for WAVE officers differ from those for en listed personnel? A college degree, or two years of college work plus acceptable business or professional experience, is requited. Eye and teeth stand ards are slightly higher. Women up to SO years of age are eligible. These are the principal differences in requirements. How long are WAVES on duty daily? Theoretically, WAVES are al ways on duty. Practically, the work is no more arduous than in an efficiently - managed business. No WAVE candidate, however, should be actuated by a desire for an easy, glamorous life. WAVES have plenty of time for recreation, but the important thing is to do a job quickly and well and thereby con tribute toward earlier termination of the war. Information about the WAVES is avail able by telephone, letter or personal call at any Navy Recruiting Station or Office of Naval Officer Procurement, Servicemen's Booklet t I (Continued from Cage 1) board, educational activities office, and other service organizations on the campus. The typing was do nated by one of the secretaries on the campus and by several of the women students. The idea for the address booklet, according to Miss Gaston, was in spired by the Servicemen’s edition of the Emerald, and the addresses were obtained from the mailing list.
