Twice as many WAVES as have been here at Harvard before are new in residence at Briggs Hall over at Radcliffe. The new batch, constituting the second group of ensigns to be stationed here for study with the Supply School, has just arrived from Smith College where the finished their initial training course.

To make room for the increased number of female officers. Radcliffe girls have already moved our of their quarters and into other dormitories. The first group graduated last Friday, but the space they vacated was hardly enough for incoming shift.

Instead of all taking the course in disbursement which the first contingent went through, they will be divided into two sections, one half taking a similar course in disbursement, the other studying supply. Being new, the exact length of this latter course is not human.

What with taking these course and one thing and another the WAVES don't get much time off: that is until Saturday night rolls around every week. Then they can sign out for as long as they like. The rest of the time it's pretty much work for these women the will more straight into shore jobs which new keep valuable male officers on the beryle side of the seacoast.

Although the WAVES will see duty only in shore stations in the continental United States, their courses on disbursing includes the discharging of that unit both ashore and afloat. Since the duty of shore offices is to serve units at sea, the Navy feels that they have to understand all branches of the service to do their own jobs well.
