V"i' i Varied Opportunities Are Open To Coeds Trained as Nurses r'-- By ALICE FRETZ "Never before have college girls with nurse's training faced such var- ied opportunities as may be found pow," is the opinion of Miss Thelma 1. Scratch, '32SN, executive secretary for the Michigan Nursing Council for War Service, who is now in the Un- dergraduate Office of the League giv- ing information on the student nurse recruiting program. A graduate herself of Michigan's School of Nursing and holder of a B.S. degree from Wayne University as well as a, public health nursing certificate, Miss Scratch declared that even before the war there were an estimated 30,000 unfilled places for qualified nurses. "'With military needs now reaching 3,000 graduate purses a month," she said, "Michi- gan's student nurse recruitment quo- ta to replace them is 2,015 for '43 and '44 classes alone." Student Nurses Valuable According to Miss Scratch, stu-' dents are not only the mainstay for gaps left in hospitals, but may, under supervision, serve to cut down absen- teeism in factories and promote civil- ian health. "If we should ever have an epidemic under present nursing shortages," she said, "the situation coulki be very seribus unless the stu- dent nurses were ready to help." The possibility that the end of the Assembly Posts Will Be Filled Petitioning for next year's Assem- bly Association officers is being held all this week through Saturday with interviewing scheduled for 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 10 through Friday, March 12. Petitions may be obtained from Miss Ethel McCormick's office in the League, and after having been filled out, should be placed in the slot marked Assembly in the Undergrad- uate Office. President, vice-president, secretary and treasurer are positions open only to juniors, but any second semester freshman or upperclassman who is eligible may petition for league house president, league house representa- tive (3), president and vice-president of unaffiliated Ann Arbor girls or scouting committee chairman. Nursing School Film To Be Shown Today' At Rackham Building war might make nurses a drug on the market is an "element we don't need to fear at all," Miss Scratch asserts. Not only, she revealed, is there a pre- war situation where 800 counties in the U.S. still have no public health nurses and where health insurance has increased the hospital beds by 10,000 in the last five years, but there is a broad future of reconstruction. Foreign Languages Needed She cited as an example the South American countries who have already made plans for United States nursing schools to help them with their nurs- ing education program. "Language students will be particularly help- ful," Miss Scratch went on. "Imag- ine what opportunities for service a Polish nurse will have." She suggested that United States will be the chief provider of person- nel in occupied countries where edu- cated people have been exterminated or driven out, until those countries can build their own professional groups again. Urges Combined Course Miss Scratch, urged students who are wavering between two fields such as teaching or nursing to take both. There are plenty of colleges where a combined curriculum is possible, she declared, and added that the need of nurse teachers "is a weak spot" in the nursing program. These long range plans of the Nur- sing Council recruitment program are aimed at college. women who wish to, go into nursin g, stressed Miss Scratch, adding that such a person can practically pick her own job. Slide Rule Ball, Closing Time Is Extended One-Thirty Late Permission, Formal Garb Are New Plansj One-thirty permission will be given to all women attending Slide Rule Ball Friday, March 12, according to Bill Hutcherson, '43E, co-chairman of the event, and Bill Sessions, '43E, patrons chairman and head of the men's Judiciary Council; and as a result, the dance will be extended an hour, now being held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., contrary to previous an- nouncements. Another important development in Slide Rule plans is that the engineers will lay aside the mufti of their pro- fession and will appear in formal at- tire. The formality, however, will not be too strict, for Keith Smith, '43E, co-chairman, says unpressed tails and tux will be numerous be- cause of the cleaners' wartime request that only necessary work be done. Today is the last day of the sale of tickets exclusively for engineers. Identification cards should be pre- sented by engineers purchasing tick- ets from 10 a.m. to noon and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the second floor over the West Engineering Arch and the first floor of the East Engineering building. "More than two-thirds of the tick- ets have been sold in the two days since ticket sales opened," announced ticket chairman Karl Brenkert, '44E. "Any remaining tickets will be sold to the early birds at the Union Desk on Friday." /9q~einiWAAflt iC S (Editor's Note: This column was written by Marjorie Hall in the absence of liyllis Present.) You demanded it. WAA provided it. You found yourself stiff as a board the next day. but you had more fun than you had in ages. You asked for another, You're going to get another . . . What are you going to get? REC- RALLY, of course- When are you going to get it? At 8:30 p.m. FRIDAY, MARCH 12. Where are you going to get it? AT BARBOUR AND WATER- SMAN GYMS. Such enthusiasm was displayed by the many men and women on the campus who attended the first Rec-Rally of the season that the resulting1 demand for another evening of co-recreation literally set the date for the second event. There wouldn't have been another Rec-Rally if people hadn't asked for it, so next week's shindig is purely and simply an outgrowth of campus selection. Games will again begin at 8:30 p.m., and barn dancing will be moved up a half hour to 9:30. But at the same time some of the sports will con- tinue in order to give more people a wider selection of chosen activity. Badminton, which proved to be one of the most popular sports on the ros- ter, may be continued straight through the evening. A real barn dancing orchestra from one of the nearby granges will supply the music since the attendance at the first Rec-Rally warrants the increased expense of a more complete orchestra for the second dance. Mr. Howard Liebee of the Physical Education Department for Men will again call the steps. * * * * Marcia Sharpe, table tennis manager, has announced that the tourna- ment will begin next Monday, and all those who haven't signed up at Bar- bour or the WAB are reminded that entries must be in by noon Saturday. Adding the table tennis crown to one's list of accomplishments is a feather, in anybody's hat, and the competition promises to be agreeably keen from the word go! * *. * * Here's the news you have been waiting for for a long time, and we're pleased to be able to announce that the price of bowling at the WAR alleys has been reduced to a fraction over the amount of the "smallest denomina- tion war stamn" per line for University women students, effective immedi- ately. Men and non-student women may bowl for a cost similar to the price paid for two "sdws's". This is good news for every student bowler, since the former price of one game now covers two. What's more, members of the WAA board plus other interested bowlers will begin setting up pins and managing the alleys. Reason: to alleviate the labor shortage-there aren't many pinboys available these days. So the women have really taken over in that department . . . See you all at the alleys tomorrow. * * * * Dorothy Lundstrom, Dan Saulson and company have scheduled an over- night bicycle-hostel trip to Saline Valley Farms for this week-end. And fair warning is given here and now that all those who plan to attend should carry extra warm blankets with them in order to chase away the frigid temperature. All men and women who will make up the party will meet at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in front of Hill Auditorium, and from then on it will be hike, hike, hike-via a bike. There will be a small charge for food and the privilege of staying over night, but that's all. Two Councils To Fill Offices War Activities To Be Managed By Members of New Board Petitions for positions on Judiciary Council and the newly-formed Wo- men's War Council must be turzed into the undergraduate office of the League by noon Saturday. Judiciary positions for which coeds may petition, include one senior job and two junior positions. The re- maining two senior positions will be filled by the two present junior mem- bers, one of whom will be made chair- man. Among the twelve positions to be filled on the Women's War Council is that of president, who will act as coordinator for all war activities and University coeds. The position of secretary will involve heading the Blood Bank as well as regular secre- tarial duties. Treasurer Heads Charity Treasurer of the council will be in charge of charity drives and the Bomber Scholarship, in addition to her regular work with the League budget. The head of orientation will be in charge of both transfers and freshmen next year, while the duties of the tutorial and merit committee chairmen will be the same as before. Added to the social chai'man's tasks will be formulating plans to entertain the soldiers stationed here on campus. New Position Created An entirely new position which has been created is that of personnel ad- ministrator, who will see that women are recruited for such vital needs as industry and farm work. The posi- tion of child care and public service head will involve assisting day nurs- eries, Girl Scout groups, and Girl Reserves. Instead of having the surgical dressing unit as the senior project next year, it will be made a part of the Women's War Council, and coeds may also petition to be chairman of this unit. The coed who is appointed to head the Canteen Corps will be in charge of recruiting students to work in the Union and League dining rooms. Rationing Brings Repercussions By BEA BOUCHARD Since the beginning of shoe ration- ing, there has been no great com- plaint on the part of local shoe mer- chants, according to the manager of a local campus shoe department, with respect to panicky buying or discon- tent over the system, but there has been one big gripe, and that is dem- onstrated by this scene: A coed will enter a shoe depart- ment with a vague notion of what she wants to buy-i.e. sport or dress shoe. After being shown practically every shoe in stock, some hours later, she will decide. It's not .,at the clerks object to the time and energy involved because at a time like this they advise wise buying. The point is that the coed will present stamp 17, torn from the book. The law most emphatically states that the stamp must be torn from the war ration book in the presence of the clerk. There is only one excep- tion to this law and that is the case of women residing in dormitories or sorority houses. In such a case coeds may present the stamp without the book if it accompanies an affidavit signed by the house mother. The types of footgear included in this ration system seem to be fairly \/ well understood, but there is a new summertime break for women which will relieve considerable wear and tear on the cowhide. That is the ex- emption of most play shoes, manu- factured before April 16. Included in this category are the ever-popular huaraches. Also exempt from the ration are bedroom slippers, despite make or construction. An "honest-to-goodness" movie of nursing school, with no Hollywood touches, sponsored by the American College of Surgeons particularly for student nurse recruitment will be shown by Miss Thelma I. Scratch at 4:30 p.m. today-in the Rackham Buil- ding auditorium. The story centers around two col- lege girls who are roommates and who decide to go into nurse's training together. Though the girls are pro- fessional actresses, actual hospital scenes and mostly actual nurses will be shown along with all the oppor- tunities, recreation and work that all nurses have. . .i The house presidents meeting, scheduled for 5 p.m. today, will not be held, for all necessary busi- ness was covered in yesterday's meeting. r : I! 11 10 11- -1 7 BUY WAR-BONDS E 3TAP.S MELL into Spring 7.95 t ' f 3 S tS ; ix, .41 Vfflt 1 - f 4 .r t Surgical Dressing Unit To Meet Today Houses that are especially invited to attend the Surgical Dressing Unit meeting today include Alpha Xi Del- ta, Delta Gamma, Jordan Hall, zone III and zone V. All coeds who report to work are asked not to wear nail polish unless it has been fairly re- cently applied. Some sort of headdress is also nec- essary, and large pieces of gauze are furnished to those who do not bring their own bandannas. Cotton dresses, washable blouses or smocks are also recommended. It has been requested by the com- mittee that students work for at least an hour at a time. 11 70&MAKI AE ~ MAN NAPPY- I Checks! Stripes! Plaids! Solids!
