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. This file

Speaking recently before the An

about the “Emotional Factors in
Cultural Change.”
The pocket-sized booklet which
the scientist sent as an example of
his future work gives very com

soldier who must survive on land

tion is information on living en
islands, finding food on tropical
lands and seas, living in tropical
forests and on deserts. Clear illus
trations are given of edible and
poisonous plants, of finding direc

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,
