1 SPARS Latest Group
tiVlore than 150.000 women have
i•ulisted in the WAACS (Women's
Army Auxiliary Corps) and re_
Guestsare increasing among col
-I.:ge women for commissions with
I , ie WAVES (Women Appointed
for Voluntary Emergency Service).
The latest development of women's
;: , !rvices has been the SPARS
(:iempez - Paratus—Always Ready
• —the motto of the Coast Guard).
Women are eligible at the age of
!).1) or 21 for service, according to
et report of the Committee on Col-
Mge Women Students and the
'War. A . ,t a conference held recently
this committee and the heads of
the various services met to discuss
:requirements for enlistment. It
was anticipated that a Women's
ileserve of the Marine Corps will
Le established in the near future.
Certain extra-curricula courses
in emergency techniques referred
to at the conference are available
:I , )r coeds under the new codet
'training. Motor mechanics, ,cook
irlg, stewardesses or mess ser
;eants, secretaries, and bakers
were definitely mentioned as aids
toward advancement in the three
hervices:
Almost without exception poten
!flat WAAC officers are selected
from the ranks of enlisted- person
nel and are sent to -Officers' Can
didate School. Salaries are equiva
lent to corresponding Army grade
had rank. WAACS have no stipu
lated educational requirements and
ore under obligation to serve as
auxiliaries if they are not selected
lo be trained as officers.. A new
rder provides that college seniors
who pass the requirements may be
enlisted and put on inactive status
(reserve) until they have complet
ed college.
The WAVES, unlike the
WAACS, may return to civilian
life if they fail to receive commis
:ions. Members of the Reserve are
actually in the Navy with status
and salary identical to men. En
listed women must have -gradu
ated from high school; a candi
date for officer's training must
bold - a baccalaureate degree from
a recognized college or two years
cif college plus equivalent experi
ence. Mathematics and science are
emphasized as well as special
knowledge of fields such as radio
and aerology.
In administrative details the
;;PARS follow the same general
pattern as the Navy. The most
:ignificant exception is that the
S.PARS do not require two years
of high school mathematics.
