The many jobs that women can do in the army were outlined to the members of the Coed Association Tuesday by Lt. Dorothy Cooper, re cruiting officer for the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps. The corps prefers to take women with skill or experience in a spe cial field. Lt. Cooper emphasized the valuable contributions that college girls can make after their graduation, especially those majoring in foreign languages, sciences, dietetics, secreta rial scicice, and technical subjects such as ra,dio and communications. "What are you going to have to offer when the time comes for more active duty?" she asked the coeds. "The more you get in college the more you will have to give to your job," Lt. Cooper stated. The age limit for the WAACs is now 21 years, the educational stan dards comparatively low, because the corps relies on mental alertness and aptitude tests given the respective re cruit to determine ability. The purpose of the corps is to put into the army a non-combat unit trained in military discipline, to re place men for combat duty. Ratings, rank, and pay are the same as in the mcii's army. Women live in barracks, wear regulation uniforms, receive the same pay as men of equal rank. Every recruit, whether she is an auxilliary or an officer candidate, goes through four weeks basic training, where she learns drilling, military discipline and courtesy, and becomes familiar with the various types of work done in the corps. Officer candidates are often chosen at the end of this period from, the auxiliaries. Foreign service may be seen by those who ask for it. Women are in three choices: to serve within 150 miles of home, within 500 miles, or anywhere in the United States or abroad. 90 per cent of the WAACs ask for foreign service, but only a few will he sent overseas. Four main branches of the corps are as follows: Administration: This includes office work, for which women with office experience of college ma Jors in secretarial science are needed. Wonwi with newspaper experience. journalism and public speaking ma jors may find a place in public rela tions. Foreign language experts are needed for work as interpreters and translators. Bakers and cooks: This branch needs(1 food buyers, nutrition experts and dictitians as well as expert cooks and bakers. Communications : E x p e r i e n c e d switcboard operators, radio techni cians. radio program managers and1 telegraphers are needed, but actual expierience is necessary in this field. Motor transport : Women dIrive all army vehicles except the heaviest type trucks. They must see that they arc servicedl, but do not do the actual servicing. Rigid vision tests and physical examinations are given here, for (duty is in 24 hour shifts. "It's no lark," Lt. Cooper said, but she told of many women who had given tip good positions and lux uries to become auxiliaries at $50 a month. The training camp for WAACs is at Fort D)esMoines, Iowva, but a sec 0ond is soon to be opened at Daytona Beach, Florida. L.t. Cooper of Little Rock, Ark., majored in speech at the Universities of Texas, Coloradlo, and Arkansas, Before becoming a member of the WVAACs, she put on stage produc tions in Texas. Hecr first tour of dutty wvas iit public relations work, after which she was sent to Fort Jackson to conduict recruiting in the Southeast. For coeds who are 21 or wvho will he soon. fuirther- information may be ob)tainled at the WAAC Recruiting Office, Fort Jackson. Derrick Will Speak To Lutheran Student Group Dr. S. M.
