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.
Quotable quotes from the in
firmates of the weekend:
Tom Whitmore, intramural
breaststroke record >- breaker:
“They’re serving me good food
here. Guess I’ll have to have the
swimming team up to dinner.”
Hugh Crawford, president of
the “More-Betas-in-the-Pi - Phi
house club": “Sure wish the Pi
Phis would volunteer as student
nurses here. Oboy!”
