Th~MICIGNAILY *&2, Interfraternity Cries Of 'Send Me A Real Nurse' Silenced As Coeds Prove Efficient Baill Will Be Held Today At . By BETTY HARVEY They say you can get used to any- thing-a truism born out by the fact that no patient in either of the two Ann Arbor hospitals is ever surprised nowadays when he finds himself be- ing attended by a saddle-shoed, be- ribboned coed. Such queries as, "You're not a Girl! Scout, are' you? Heard they have some working around here!" and "Do nurses have new uniforms now?" or "Send me a REAL nurse~!" have sub- sided almost completely as coeds have# proved their efficiency, and have, taken a vital step toward becoming an integral part of hospital routine.. Excerpts From Reports Miss Katheryn Walsh, head of the volunteer unit at the University Hos- pital, disclosed the following excerpts from this week's reports of the coed RIOBOES Chenille ..$3.95, $4.95 $5.95 Cotton Quilted $.. ......4.95 Silk Quilted ..$7.95 to $15.00 HOSER Lisle Mesh Special ...at $1.15t helpers. These reports, she declared, are representative of all of the past month's records: "The University vol- unteers are doing beautifully much better than most new ward workers." "We don't know how we managed without them . . . they are improving all the time. They have been espe- cially valuable this week because of the increased shortage of nurses." "They have the initiative to actually find jobs for themselves and yet they're adaptable and will do exactly as they're told." "They only have to be told a thing once-learn so fast." "Many girls have shown outstanding ability and efficiency." Patients Appreciate Attention Miss Walsh further emphasized the success of the Sophomore Service which has organized coeds for vol- unteer work at the University Hos- pital: "Two hundred and fourteen girls have given a total of 2,483 hours to hospital work so far. So you see what a concrete help this project has been. I can say, too, that I've had few of the headaches I had planned on. "Patients have told me over and over again," she continued, "how much they appreciate the University women's attentions. The girls are so attractive, on the whole,, and so anx- ious to please, that patients look for- ward to their visits. They can give the patient the little attentions that nurses are too busy to care for. Miss Wanzeck, head of the volun- teer group at St. Joseph's Hospital, was equally enthusiastic in her praise of the student workers. "The Univer- sity women are so willing and anx- ious to help whenever and wherever needed. Their enthusiasm and con- scientiousness are a pleasure to see. I can't tell you how much we need and are grateful for their services."

Pinried couples will be honored by a "sweetheart dance," when Hender- JOSEPHINE FITZPATRICK: Women And The War, By DOROTHY BLICKE Blitz efficiency, smooth tactfulness and continual chuckle are character- istics which make Josephine "Fitz" Fitzpatrick, '44, popular as well as effective in the administration of her position as head of the women's office of Civilian Volunteer Defense on campus. The latter is a placement service which.operates under the War Coun- cil in cooperation with the Man- power Corps, and all the women's class projects stem from it. Joseph- ine's chief function is to act as mid- dle woman between the Ann Arbor women's branch of the OCVD and the campus branch and to coordinate University activities with theirs. Amazing Versatility The town organization indicates what positions need filling and Jo carries on from there. Thus she has calls for everything from carrot pickers to assistants for gas and fuel rationing. These widely assorted po- sitions give the college woman a chance to show her much vaunted versatility as well as putting her wish to help with the war effort to prac- tical application. This women's placement service, however,, did not originate this fall when the Manpower Corps was formed, but began operations last February. At that time Jo began placing University women in assorted types of volunteer positions, which included child care in the public schools as well as typing and cler- ical work. Holds Four Other Jobs "Fitz" is far from being the gimlet- eyed individual who has come to be the horrible prototype of all effi- cient women. Her line of constant quips and gags along with her eyes of traditional Irish humor are irref- son will play a medley of special tunes. Moreover, the final elimina- tion of the first annual Interfrater- nity Pledge Sing will be held during intermission of the dance.

Jo is not completely absorbed in war work, however, but covers a lot of ground in her extra-curricular ac- tivities. She is a Ruthven tea group chairman, president of Athena, mem- ber of Wyvern, and rounds out her war work by being equipment chair- man for Senior Project. Last year she was finance chairman of Sopho- more Cabaret and worked on Thea- tre Arts projects and League com- mittees.
