With a nursing sortage already on hand and 1,164 additional nurses scheduled to leave Michigan for the armed forces in 1943, talk is heard of speeding up former by inflexible nursing curricula. Already radical changes in train- ing have occurred. Right now two groups of probationers (beginning nurses) are attending classes at Michigan and Wayne Universities, wearing sweaters and . skirts rather than stiffly starched uniforms. These girls are getting an intensi- fied scientific training away from hospital routine because of the short- age of instructors in various nursing schools, according to Miss Thelma I. Scratch, executive secretary of the Michigan Nursing Council for War Service. During the four month course at the two universities, all ex- penses for the students are paid from federal funds. At the end of this time they return to their home hos- pitals. Among the31 girls now attending Wayne are students from hospitals in Jackson, Grand Rapids, Traverse City, Battle Creek, Lansing, Benton Harbor and Detroit. Girls between 17V2 and 35 years old who can pass university entrance requirements are eligible to apply for the pre - clinical course, through schools of nursing. ritaM s Debs Enter Society Despite War LONDON- (IP)- In homemade gowns and minus silk stockings, 200 British debutantes celebrated the biggest social event of their lives last Wdek-war or no war. They attend- ed the annual Queen Charlotte's birthday ball, London's offIcial com- ing-out party, at a fashionable hotel, and-it being wartime, the only one the girls will have. Although they are members of some of Britain's wealthiest and aris- tocratic families, many wore rayon and cotton stockings, because silk virttally is unobtainable in Great Britain now. Some admitted they had made their white ball gowns themselves. Their escorts all were in uniform. Food 'rationing drastically cur- tailed what would have normally been a banqut. Britain's wartie regulations pe rmit only a three course meal costing about $1. The traditional Queen Charlotte's birth- day cake was made of dark flour and contained very little sugar. The ball is a charity affair given annually for Queen Charlotte's ma- ternity hospital. At an emergency meeting of the Union Executive Council, it was ruled that roller skating would not be permitted at the Don't Give A Darn Dance, to be held from 9 p.m. to midnight Friday in the Union Ballroom. At the same meeting it was decided that bicy- cle riding would be allowed. htervieWing for junior positions on the central committee of the Surgical Dressing Unit will be held from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. to- day and tomorrow.

Seven University Women Finish Nine-Week Nurses Aide Course 0b ,s gv~ab~e 1 ~t Seven University women graduated from the extensive nine week's course of the Volunteer Red Cross Corps Unit recently at North Hall, Red Cross Headquarters. Out of the graduating class of 29, the University students were Ruth Mary Picard, '45, Harriet Cress, '43, Mary Lee Grossman, '46, Mary Jane Trainer, '45, Virginia Warren, '45, Sylvia Kaufer, '45, nd Lois Kerstet- ter, '45. "Help the patients to get well on the home front" was the motto Mrs. Marie Snyder, Superintendent of Nurses at St. Joseph's Mercy Hospi- tal, gave in her graduation address welcoming the girls in the nursing profession. During the 80-hour course which was devoted to six weeks of class work and three 'weeks of hospital work, the girls were taught how to help the nurses in various tasks. They are now recognized as being qualified nurses' assistants. Beginning in May, a new nine- weeks course in nurses' aide will be offered. "In view of the increasing scarcity of nurses in hospitals, um- versity women are expressedly urged to enroll," stated Miss Irene Johnson, chairman of Nurses' Aide. All girls who are interested in taking this course are asked to please call Miss Johnson, 4441. 3 COLOGlNES Thrill her with this most personal, most thoughtful of gifts.

Refills ovailable. fl/f Swei 0// 61Cetea I By NANCY GROBERG It is the general consensus of opinion, in the foolish world outside Ann Arbor, that college students have no troubles. Our elders have the idea that university life is just one great big academic fling-they have visions of beer brawls and dice- rolling and gala bridge parties at two in the morning. Our non-collegiate friends picture us strolling blithely across a sun-kissed campus, arm in arm with our professors, sipping cokes. Magazines play us up* big, with coats thrown casually over shoulders and tic-tac-toe affairs on every blackboard. "You haven't a worry in the world," people seem to say as they see us in railway stations. That's the sort of thing we get all the time. Well, the horrible truth is that we've got plenty of troubles.-We got prob- lens! No one seems to realize it but we have. For instance-one of our friends is a chem major. Anyhow, it seems that, according to chemical authori- ties, there- are six kinds of solid ice- "solid ice one," "solid ice two," "solid ice three," "solid ice five," "solid ice six," and "solid ice seven." Now this poor girl has been running around, for months trying to find out what ever happened to "solid ice four." Do you think anyone can tell her- any professor or instructor or grad student that happens to be standing around? Not on your life-all they can manage to say is, "Very little is known about 'solid ice four'," That's. a big help when she's been tearing her hair out all semester over this solid ice business. That girl'slife is being ruined. She can't drink cokes anymore. - We tried to help her.-We went around saying to ourselves, "Now if you were 'solid ice four' where would you go?" But we didn't know. That's the whole trouble with "solid ice four"-you never know what it's going to do next. Anyway, there's a real problem-a perfectly good chem major going to pieces just because there's no one in this whole big University-,not a blessed soul, chemical or otherwise- who knows what happened to "solid ice four." Ortake the problem of another of our friends. She's a phys ed major. It seems that for some obscure rea- son phys ed majors have to keep scrapbooks. "Well, the scrapbook's fine," they keep telling her, "but you haven't got enough pictures of chil- dren playing." Picture that girl dashing madly about, looking for pictures of chil- dren playing.-There 'aren't any, you know. The magazines decided that this year they 'were going to stop printing pictures of children playing. So if you happen to have any old children lying around and you think you could get them to play long enough to have their pictures taken, please let us know. We'd certainly like to do something for this girl, and we honestly don't know what's happened to children lately. Of course, we've only given a cou- ple of examples, but they're rather typical of the Problems of college students. This baloney that some- one has been feeding the world in general about "the best years of our life" is poisonous stuff. Furthermore, when students start lolling on the lawns and looking like advertise- ments for summer resorts, we want to know about it. Meanwhile we wish someone would set the public straight.
