WHAT TO DO

We -knew—we—were—different.
People always said so, but we never
really minded because we never
thought that it mattered in the
long run. In big crowds, Ho one
could notice much. That’s why we
had no fear of failure when we
volunteered to be hostesses at the
U. 8. 0.

The latest developments have
made us a bit self-conscious, how-
ever. We didn’t mind when some-

one on the New Yorker staff told

us that “Well, Bryn Mawr did
have a certain reputation in the
public mind.” After all, maybe he
was just being sophisticated. Or
married. Or maybe he just didn’t
have a job to offer. But yesterday
we learned our doom. In a far-a-
way army camp somewhere in the
United States, Private Kirkpatrick,
haggard, white and with a look of
wild despair in his eyes, came to
Lieutenant Kirkpatrick holding a
tattered letter in his hands: “Sir,”
he said (for he never forgot. mili-
tary etiquette), “Please take this
letter. It’s yours and I got it by
mistake. Take is and never let me
see it again. My friends won’t
talk to me any more. You see, it’s
from a Bryn Mawr girl.”

First of all, is the WAAC really needed?



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 be assigned to duty with the Army any-
where — some are already in Africa and England.

Can the WAAC really help win the war?



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.

What can my college education contribute?



College training is important equipment for many WAAC

7a > 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 can I live comfortably on WAAC pay?



There are few civilian jobs in which you could earn clear
income, as WAAC enrolled members do, of $50 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 month, .

Some questions and answers of interest

to every patriotic college woman

The drilling sounds so strenuous—!

»

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 better than
ever in your life.

Maybe I wouldn't like the work?

People are happiest doing what'they do well. Every effort
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 and new to
women — such as repairing the famous secret bombsight,
rigging parachutes, operating the fascinating new electronic
devices — or driving an Army jeep over foreign terrain.

Then I have a chance to Icarn something new?



Yes, indeed. And the list of WAAC duties grows constantly.

- The training and experience you get in the WAAC may

equip you for many stimulating new careers opening up
for women.

What are my chances of promotion?



Excellent. The Corps is expanding rapidly and needs new
officers, both commissioned and noncommissioned. Those
who join now have the best chances. All new officers now

.come up through the ranks. If qualified, you may obtain a

commission in 12 weeks after beginning basic training.

What is the age range and other requirements?

Very simple. You may join if you are a U. S. citizen, aged
21 to 44, inclusive, at least 5 fect tall and not over 6 feet,
in good health — regardless of race, color or creed. But the
Army needs.you now—don’t delay. Total War won’t wait!



Linguists needed. If you speak and write Spanish,
Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French, German
or Italian, see your local Army recruiting office now! You
are needed for interpreting, cryptography, communications.
