Women Wanted In Marine Corps Now is the time, ladies. If you join the Marine Corps now you will be getting in on the ground floor of the women leatherneck's organization. Capt. H. T. Bredenberg, women's reserve procurement officer, stressed today. Women enlisting now have a chance to become corporal or sergeant even before completing their preliminary six-week indoctrination course, he added. Your pay will be exactly that of the men of the Marine Corps of corresponding rank. As a private, your pay and expenses will come to $132.50 per month. And, like men of the corps, you can, if you have the ability, work your way up through the ranks and become an officer. To be eligible, you must be between the ages of 20 and 36 and must have had at least two years of high school plus acceptable business experience. You need not WAAC Recruiters Visit Campus A team of WAAC recruiters consisting of one WAAC officer, one auxiliary and one enlisted man were at Western Carolina Teachers College March 30 to answer questions, contact interested girls and take applications for enrollment in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps. The team is making a tour of the major women's colleges in North and South Carolina in an effort to increase enrollments and at the same time expedite enrollment of college girls who have waited until the end of the college semesters before joining the rapidly growing corps of the women's army. Lt. Dorothy E. Cooper, 3rd officer of the WAAC and assistant recruiting officer of the Charlotte district recruiting headquarters, is in charge of the "Collegiate Recruiting Crew." Auxiliary Mary E. Foster and Private Bill Mit- cham are the members of the team which is covering every major women's college in tile two Carolinas for the purpose of enrolling college women in the women's branch of the U. S. Army. This lightening tour of the major colleges in the Carolinas will cover a total mileage of more than a thousand miles, and will take place during the month of April. Women are desperately needed now to release men for actual combat duty, and the college women ai< an untapped source of women- power that is now being called upon to aid in the fight to protect the freedom of America. have any special talent. The Marine Corps will train you. You can be married or unmarried, but you are not eligible if you have any children under 18. If you are eligible, then write the Marine Officer Procurement Office, Healey Bldg., Atlanta, Ga., and set forth your qualifications. You will then be sent expense money to come to Atlanta for a personal interview. If accepted, you will be sent to Hunter College in New York City where you will undergo a period of indoctrination. The training is free, of course,as is the chic uniform you wear. Keep the campus clean. The common or garden variety of people soon will grow very popular. Wear out your old shirts now. It soon will be time to leave off the coat and vest. It is with gratitude that the students of Western Carolina Teachers College express their thanks to Mr. George Searl, of Asheville, for using his time and supplies in order that the College may have a CATAMOUNT this year. '^ For a while it looked as if for the first time in many years the seniors would graduate without an annual. Because of the war, materials for pictures are scarce and few photographers would consent to use so much of their supplies on a college or high school year book. Although this is the first time the CATAMOUNT has gone to press without individual pictures of, at least, the seniors, no one is complaining, just thankful that there are at least group pictures. Staff work on the CATAMOUNT is nearing completion, and one more college annual will soon go to the publishers. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, March 9, 10 and 11, were devoted to taking the pictures for the annual. Mr. George Searle, sales manager of the Miller Printing Com pany, of Asheville, and Miss Helen Patton of Western Carolina Teachers College, did the photography. As a result of the war situation and the scarcity of materials, there will be no individual pictures in the annual this year. Even the seniors were photographed in groups of four, the number gradually increasing in the pictures of the undeixlassmen. Reverend Pettit Speaks In Chapel (Continued from Page 1) the challenge with hopelessness or a contentious spirit, the Reverend Pettit said that we should meet this hour prayerfully, with Christian living, letting the question "What would Jesus do under similar conditions?" be our guide. "The crisis of the present hour," Mr. Pettit concluded, "is not due to the failure of Christianity, but to the lack of its application. America's first line of defense lies in the character of her citizens." ET THE URGE TO HELP PURSE HITLER/ ALL OVER THE WORLD America's 900,000 aviation workers combine their skill and experience to satisfy today's demand for vital war necessities. Thanks to our airplane makers, ground crews and pilots like Capt. Haakon Gulbransen (shown here), of Pan American Airways, needed supplies are flown to our fighting men all over the world.
