Qorm Drive 'Nails’ Coats By ART CARLSON Mrs. Genevieve Turnipseed, di rector of dormitories, has a per plexing problem to cope with these days. It seems that a box of 50 bor rowed metal coat hangers had been stored in the check room of the main lobby of the men's dorm. The other day a call from the generous lender was received by Mrs. Turnipseed asking for the return of the coat hangers in or der that they might be used for fuming social function. Mysterious Loss Just then one of the ladies em ployed by the dormitory came in to report that the box, with all its hangers, had mysteriously dis appeared. A thorough search of the premises was made, but with no results. Of course the natural conclu sion arrived' at was that one or more over-energetic dorm boys, having noticed this box of seem ingly extra coat hangers, had taken them in good faith and added to their own collection for the Camp Adair drive. Dorm Depletion, Too Mrs. Turnipseed was immedi ately in favor of forgetting the incident in the name of patriot ism and sacrifice, and to replace tte 50 now being used by our .^pliers with 50 from the dormi tory’s own supply. However, the next day when this transfer was to take place, it was noticed that most of their own supply had just been removed also. “Now it’s true'that we should do everything in our power to help the men in service,” reasons the dorm director, “but how are we going to have any more des serts and dances with nothing to hang the girls’ coats on? And what shall we do about those we borrowed and have to return?” The only solution seems to lie in the plan of purchasing paper hangers and hoping that the lender will understand and be considerate until after the dura tion. At least that’s all that can be done with no metal coat ^^igers on the maket. Fijis House Flu Victims Page Florence Nightingale. Something new in the way of campus health precautions has been added. Fiji house president, Buck Jones, brooding over the rapidly-growing Phi Gam sick list, hit upon the new plan Sun day night. Three of the boys were in the infirmary. Half a doz en others had flu and were lying on their couches spreading insid ious germs among their roomies. Upshot of the whole matter: One entire room in the Fiji house is now consecrated to the con ^hience and' comfort of ailing members. Its completely equipped with four beds, four flu-ridden patients, four model airplane kits, and a blazing red cross on the door. Paul Folquet, Tom Galt, Jerry McCroskey, and Pete Stinebaugh, the four ailing members, claim they like their “hospital” so well that they won’t change to the in firmary even if there’s room lat er, while Prexy Jones is so pleased with his idea that he plans to convert the whole third floor into a hospital and to import nurses from various sororities if the flu bug continues to wreak ^voc at the Fiji house. At a late hour last night, school authorities still had not approved the last-mentioned part of Jones’ plan. Silence Rules; PatientsAche The infirmary will be closed to visitors until further notice, Dr. Fred N. Miller, student health ser vice director, announced Monday. The reasons for this, according to Dr. Miller, are that not only are visitors liable to catch communi cable diseases from the patients, but also visitors with colds or flu sometimes give these diseases to patients, thereby delaying these students’ dismissal and further complicating the difficulties faced by the short-handed staff. Admitted to the infirmary since Friday were Tom Galt, Laura Kimball, Blanche Thompson, Don Mayne, Wes Sullivan, Tom Haz- , zard, Bud Watson, Jim Lund, Hank Voderberg, Bill Hales, Jim Stinebaugh, Oliver Stendal, John McAuliffe, Vera Sellin, Kay Mar shall, -and Tom Whitmore. Re leased Monday and Tuesday were Jim Beddingfield, Tom Galt. Howard Dauntless, Blanche Thompson, Howard Harper, Tom Stack, Hugh Crawford, Barbara Fuller, Laura Kimball and Breen Murphy. At present, each of the infirm ary beds is occupied. Serving a stretch with colds, flu, or fevers are Jim Stinebaugh, Oliver Sten dal, Tom Whitmore, Hank Voder berg, John McAuliffe, Vern Sell in. Bud Watson, Marvin Lester, Bill Hales, Jim Lund, Kay Mar shall, and Don Mayne. Tom Haz zard is confined with measles.
