S.U.I. Women and the WAC
Former students and Alumnae Now Serve Overseas and in Army Bases Throughout This Country
DES MOINES -- Take a cross section of American women - and you have the WAC. Take a cross section of the higher-education WAC groups, and you have S.U.I. WACs.
They range from captain to private. You find them working for Uncle Sam wearing his uniform in every part of the country. There's one in England; there's another in Africa; there's a third simply "overseas". You'll find them at the air bases driving trucks, tanks, and jeeps at army camps, working in army hospitals, sending out messages by radio, teaching army subjects to army people.
Here is a partial list of them -- Iowa home girls only -- where they are and what they are doing since they switched from S.U.I to G.I.

She enlisted in May and had basic training at Daytona Beach. She writes " There is no other branch of service that rate as highly as the WAC."
