PAGE EIGHT WAVE Officer Outlines V-9 Program "Waves of the Navy, There's a ship sailing down the bay And she won't slip into port again Until that victory day. Carry on for that gallant ship And for every hero brave Who will find ashore His man-size chore Was done by a Navy Wave." "At Smith College, Northamp- P)n, Mass. platoons of women as piring to be officers in the United States Navy, march daily singing ihese words, composed by a WAVE to a tune that harmonizes with 'Anchors Aweigh'." As part cf a nation-wire WAVE recruiting program, Ensign Miriam Waite ).:leyer spoke to coeds interested in the Navy program for college Svomen, opening her talk with the official WAVE song. ' In speaknig of the requirements :for commissions in the WAVES, the WAVE recruiting officer stat ed that officer candidates must meet the same requirements as enlisted women except 'in three :t•espects: The candidate must have a. de gree from an accredited college. ):n certain cases she may qualify with 2 years of college work plus at least two years of acceptable business or professional experi ence.

Upon the successful completion of the course, they re ceive their commissions and are ordered either to a duty station in supervisory, technical or -admin istrative posts or to advanced training. Training at Sinith College is ex tensive, she stated, but all candi dates are on an equal footing and even the most experienced in ci vilian life are in the Navy "as green as a high school freshman." A WAVE doesn't lose her sense of humor while engrossed in the job of qualifying as an officer, Ensign Waltemeyer went on, as she re lated,, with a reminiscent smile, the story of a recently initiated WAVE leading her company down the middle of a Southampton street.
