March 6, 1943 CLASS GAMES BEGIN Shirley Dickinson, bnsketball uianager, gives the following report about the basketball elase toams. The Freahmen have been divided into two teams; so as to give more girls a chance to play in games. There is a Sophomore class team. Neither tho Juniors nor Seniors had enough girls eligible to make a team, so the classes combined to form a Junior- Senior team. The classes are playing a Bound Robin Tournament this year. That means that each team plays every other team. The point system is two points for every game won and one point for every game tied. The team with the highest number of points win.9 the tournament. Games played aretis follows: Freshmen A won over Freshmen B, with a score of 81-0. Sophomores and Junior-Senior teams tied—19-19. Freshmen A won over Junior- Senior with a score of 11-5.

Meredith advnnred First Aulci's, many of them after finishing the advanced I'irst Aid oourso on Tnesdny, Mnrch 2, are applying to (he Njitional Red Cross iji order to orgnnize First Aid detachments here at the college. Although this gro\ip wiis not organized for the purpose of operating particularly during black outs and air raids, they would bo in operation during the blackouts here at Merrclitli, Sucli dctaclinients have heretofore been organized in schools, department stores aiid factories. In order to beoonie a First Aid detach ment tliere must be at least fifteen members in the organization all who liave had Advanced First Aid. Meredith’s eighteen members are [leaded by June Carter, who has (‘|iarjf(.‘ of those on the freshman stdc of Hio campus, and by Elizabeth Brownlee as head of the other side ot the’ cHmpua. Wake Forest, as reported by the (^Ul Gold and Bluck, has contribut ed more than any other North Car olina school toward sending free ^jSa*'ette9 to the boys overseas, ^uo word comes that Woman’s College, in its second semester of 1942-43, still holds its record for being the second largest woman’s college in tho United States, and the largest women’s resid«ice col lege in the M-orld. •“W'lV/. fir»t 0i mitf im the reaffir neefe|^ 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 he assigned to duly with the Army any where — some are already in Africa and England. Cum tkm WAAC rmaiig hmtp wim thm wmrf The whole idea of the WAAC is to replace trained soldiers needed at the front. If American women pitch in now to help our Army (as women in Britain, Russia and China do), we can hasten Victory — and peace. Wkmt mmm my coilmgm ctiueatlom eemtribmter 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 duty until the school year ends. See your WAAC faculty adviser for more details. But euH M f#v« comtortobiy ou WAAC puy9 There are few civilian jobs in which you could earn clear income, as WAAC enrolled members do, of 8S0 to $138 a month —with all equipment from your toothbrush to cloth* ing, food, quarters, medical and dental care provided. WAAC officers earn from $150 to $333.33 a month. Some questions and answers of Interest to every patriotic ?oUege woman Vh% ^rilUng «Mfiiif« mo 9irenuoitM-^t Nonsense! The most beautiful women in America today are the 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 the new Fort Oglethorpe training center you’ll feel belter than ever in your life. Maybe i irontdnH tike thft work? People are happiest doiJig ^vhat they do well. Every elTort 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 qnJ new to wonien —such as repairing the famous sccret bombsight, rigging parachutes, operating the fascinating new electronic devices or driving an Army jeep over foreign terrain. Then M huee a chance to team something new? J§ \es, indeed. And the list of WAAC duties grows constantly. The training and experience you get in the WAAC may j equip you for many stimulating ne>v careers openin" up for ^\'omen. What mre my chaneem ot promotion? Excellent. The Corps is expanding rapidly and needs new officers, both commissioned and noncommissioned. Those who join now have ike best chances. All ne>v officers now come up through the ranks. If qualified, you may obtain a commission in 12 weeks after b^inning basic training. What im the aye rumye amti other reqmirmmentm? Very simple. You may join if you are a U. S. citizen, aged 21 to 44, inclusive, at least S feet tall and not over 6 f«t, in good health — regardless of race, color or creed. But the Army needs you now—don’t delay. Total War ^von’t wait!
