PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1951 WOULD-BE POETESS: Dean Bacon Rechannels Ambition A7 COLLEGE ROUNDUP: OSU Eases 'Gag Rule'; General Outcry Raised By GAYLE GREENE "Writing poetry comes very eas- ily to me, yet I have never written a good poem," Dean Deborah Ba- con observed yesterday on the first anniversary of her appoint- ment to the office of Dean of Wo- men. "Fortunately writing is not my only interest," she added. As a nurse in the Battle of the Bulge, at a mission in Alaska and work- ing with people in the University, Dean Bacon's varied interests have lessened her poetic disappoint- ments. . . * "EXCUSE ME while I sign these letters," she said. "I can do that without thinking and talk to you. at, the same time.", Then she proceeded to sign the letters in a large rounded scrawl, saying, "I definitely pre- fer the classic. I like a sonnet of fourteen lines. I like organ- ization. I like organization in extracurricular activities." "Come to think of it, this may be a good time to spout off about bridge;" she said, as the phone rang. "That was a house mother who seemed worried about some of her girls going to a coeducational pa- jama party," she explained. "Oh, yes,' I was talking about bridge. You might think that because If like organization that I would liker briIge. I, don't. It has become1 as rigid and stylized as Egyptian art," she said. "Have you ever passed thei League on the night of a bridgec tournament? At first I thought there was some sort of doctoral examination being given, but it turns out that it's only a bridgeI , * - - i -Daily-Bruce Knoll DEAN DEBORAH BACON ... the pause' that refreshes in the Round-Up Room * * s game,". she said, answering the phone again. "These phone calls keep coming all day. They completely mixup my schedule. By the way, I just happen to have a copy of today's schedule here," she added, remov- ing a small notebook from the pocket of her smart, teal blue wool dress. * * * "AT 8:45-ARRIVE at office; 9:00-talk to student planning to withdraw; 9:20--The Daily arrives * * * and is read, even the sports column during the football season. ('I love football, yell myself hoarse at every game,' she added.). "9:30-morning mail arrives; 9:45-phone calls start coming and don't seem to stop; 10:00- student in to discuss loan; 11:00 -begin reading morning mail; 11:10-conference with Mrs. Healy; 11:45-.-signatures. "12-1:30-lunch with committee and conference; 1:30 -- b e g i n morning mail; 2:00-student in to discuss emotional problem; 2:45- begin morning mail; 3:00- after- noon mail arrives; rest of after- noon-more students, more phone calls, more conferences; 4:00-fin- ish morning mail; 5:45-dinner at student residence; 8:00-speech at' Lane Hall.' "Then in between times," the dean continued, "I like to take time, out for reading, music and seeing foreign films." Even though there isn't much "in between time," Dean Bacon still enjoys her job. "I certain- ly don't object to working with -women," she said forseeing the question. "There are those who say that women are petty and catty, but actually they are no more so than men," she noted. "When I was overseas during the Battle of the Bulge there were 40 nurses work- ing in such close quarters that we found personal feuds were the most satisfying way to get over our boredom. When they started bringing in the wounded by the thousands, however, there was no question about cooperation. * * * "MY B.S. DEGREE in Public Health and a year at Fort Yukon, Alaska with a missionary hospital were my preparation for my army nurse work," Dean Bacon said. "Then came study at the Sor- bonne in Paris, Columbia Univer- sity Graduate school, and my master's degree in English Litera- ture. In fact," she concluded, "I completed my doctoral dissertation just in time to take office here at the University last November." Atomic Bugs. Aid Washday A University professor has fig- ured in a new atomic discovery. Prof. Gerald M. Ridenour, of the School of Public Health, is one of three men who described yesterday how radioactivity is aid- ing the Monday wash these days. Prof. Ridenour and his associ- ates explained that radioactive bugs are put into various deter- gents and soaps. Their activity helps remove the dirt from the dirty clothes. The process was revealed at the Fifth National Home Laundry Conference in New York. Read Daily Classifieds Hatchers Plan Fall Functions President and Mrs. Harlan H. Hatcher will hold their first open house of the fall season from 3 to 6 p.m. and from 8 to 10 p.m., Sun- day, Nov. 18, at the presidential home.' Invitations have been extended to members of the faculty, the University staff and townspeople. The first fall tea for University students will be given at the Hat- cher home Dec. 5. The teas, initi- ated by retired president Alexander G. Ruthven, are open to all mem- bers of the student body. By HARLAND BRITZ Despite a relaxation of the so- called "gas rule" at Ohio State, students and professors are still unhappy over the state of aca- demic freedom at Columbus. Last Wednesday President How- ard L. Bevis relaxed the speakers' ban by allowing professors, heads of recognized religious groups and scientific organizations to invite speakers without screening. BUT MOST student groups were not included and as a result the chairman of the Indiana psycho-1 logy department, Prof. Douglas G. Ellson, refused on Friday an in- vitation to speak before a gradu- ate fraternity on the Columbus campus.n "I just didn't like the idea of being screened by a private group before being permitted to express my opinion," the profes- sor asserted. And yesterday a national ,pro- fessors' organizational meeting in Chicago also attacked the ban. The Council of the American As- sociation of University Profes-sors adopted a resolution saying that the action of the OSU trustees "encroaches on the effectiveness of the function of a free univer- sity in a free society." Next Wednesday, students at Ohio State will express their own opinions through a campus wide referendum. According to an article by the OSU Daily Lantern News editor, "their ac- tion will probably be heavily against the ruling." Several student organizations, headed by the Student Senate, have already opposed the rule. ti,.
