Teachers College Makes Way for WAVES

NEW NAVAL TRAINING SCHOOL, a "general A school," for enlisted WAYES , first of its kind in the nation, has been opened on the IowA STATE TEACHERS CoLLEGE campus. Answering roll call are one thousand and fifty apprentice seamen, members of the Women's Re­ serve of the Navy, who want to help win the war by taking over Navy shore jobs, thus relieving men for active combat duty. Representing nearly every state in the union, the WAYES piled into the city on a raw, wintry day, ready and anxious to take up their new life. Some had been traveling by train two or three days and as many nights, and were jubilant to reach their destination. "Will we actually have a bed to sleep in?" one excited WAVE exclaimed ... Another was anx­ ious to get cleaned up and have a "real bath." All were ready to say farewell to civilian days, colorful civilian clothes, and fur coats for the dura­ tion. They are apprentice seamen now, real hon­ est-to-goodness members of the Navy.

M en and women officers were estab­ lishing order out of confusion caused by the "invasion" of a thousand recruits who were ready to begin their regular routine on the morning of December 16. The first regiment of recruits transformed the coeds' dormitory, Bartlett Hall, into a home for Navy recruits. The "boots" bunk four in a room, sleeping on double­ decker beds. Gone from their rooms are the usual f em.inine frills, ruffled curtains, rugs, bou­ Lt. Commonder G. H. Morgan, left, and Lt. A. G. Atwater, right, with doir pillows.

The "boots" are divided into two battalions, with two compa­ nies in each battalion. T he com­ panies in turn are divided into four platoons. The WAYE S are always seen in platoons of 65, or in larger groups. When they go to class, they march in platoons, following the Navy tradition. Getting uniforms was one of the first tasks. Each enlistee is given a clothing allowance of $200, which will pay for all required items of uniform. The enlisted women, apprentice seamen, receive the same pay as enlisted men in the service, $50 a month, plus Mapping out housing plans for the WAVES are Ensign lone Fox and Ensign Ruth Ric hardson Edelman ... Members of the ship's company quarters and subsistence allow­ carry out the ir duties in the ir office in the science building. ance which brings the total to ap­ proximately $130 a month. Sev­ eral weeks will be required to place all women in uniform, but when they leave Cedar Falls, they will wear the blue of the Navy.

UNIFORM BY MAINBOCHER Designed by Mainbocher, fa­ mous Am e r i c a n stylist, the WAYES uniform has a gored skirt, tailored jacket, very trim appearing, topped with the "cut­ est hat in the service," a modified snap brim affair carrying the sil­ ver and gold emblem of the Navy. The winter hats are of navy, and for summer they have hats with white crowns and navy brims. For cold and wet weather (many Southern WAVES were thoroughly chilled by Iowa's ex­ tensive "cold snap" which lasted through most of December) , the WAYES are equipped with a navy blue raincoat-overcoat. Accessories include a navy blue tie and black kid gloves (white leath­ er for summer.) WAYES wear sensible black oxfords of their own choosing, with heels not over an inch and a half high. They have no priorities on silk or ny­ lon hose, as cotton hose are the rule. Their blouses are of special WAYES design, long-sleeved -in two colors, navy blue and a lighter blue called reserve blue. The officers also have white blouses for dress occasions. The five weeks of indoctrination will have many a busy day for "boots," with reveille at 6 a. m. and taps at 10 p. m. The hours in between will be occupied with classes, drill, calisthenics, medi­ cal examinations, fittings for uniforms, aptitude tests, and study hours.

Below it's a cheery good morning salute by Ensigns Dorothy Armor, Betty Jane Sehmann, and apprentiGe seaman. Up at the sound of reveille, Dorothy Mohn. she is dressed and ready for breakfast at 6: 30. And a hearty breakfast it is, for her days in the Navy require the spending of lots of energy. After breakfast, the recruits hurry back to their rooms and "police up" the rooms as they call house­ cleaning in the Navy. Everything has its place, as the recruits soon learn. The morning hours will be spent in class work and drills or physical education. Afternoons will mean more classes, followed by an hour of liberty at 4:30 p.m., and then "mess" (this time "dinner") at 5: 30 p.m. Study hour will be from 7: 30 to 9: 30 p.m. with taps at 10 p.m. All courses are taught by men or women officers of the Navy, the women having received their training at the officer school at Smith College, Northampton, Mass. The enlistees receive a thor­ ough background in naval history, naval organiza­ tion, and naval administration and personnel, and must know their facts from "A" to "Z" and back agam. Physical education and drill will fit them for strenuous days when they are assigned to active 21 .. . Three thousand one half pints of milk are required every day.
