Sick Bay Occupants Learn to
Battle Bunks; Pound Pillows
Operating on that fine, old axiom, “You made your bed, now
lie in it,” infirmary inmates are fast learning to pleat a neat
sheet. A shortage of nurses and a need for some additional ex
ercise inspired this new ruling which requires the patients to
make their own beds. Already a little friendly rivalry has sprung
up between the army students and the feminine guests.
“We’ve had practice from ’way back in this sort of thing
so it ougnta be a snap. .Natural
ly, we’ll do the best job,” so the
girls say.
But there’s ten soldiers who say
it isn’t so. In fact, Tom Fiedeger,

| Some instructing in the fine art
of bed making. He’s strictly eli
gible having earned a First Aid
certificate sometime in his life.
At any rate, he can go around

It seems that GI beds are heaven
to make compared to the slouch
cots at the medicine lodge. The
army beds are narrower and one
doesn’t have to be an Atlas to
fix them. While at the infirmary,
according to the GI inmates, it
takes one hand to hoiSt the iron
framework, one hand to tuck in
the sheet, one—well, you just
stand and look at it and refrain
from saying all the things that
have suddenly come into mind.

problems that must be consid
ered today is that of the United
States’ great fleet of approxi
mately 2400 merchant vessels, Lo
max said. Private owners have
loaned their ships to the govern
ment and such owners, when
viewing the situation in a post
war light, want to know what
disposition will be made of these
ships, whether they will be allo
cated to the American shipping
industry, sold to foreign interest,
or be chartered to competitors.
Revealing another problem of
maritime interests, Lomax stat
er, “One of the biggest questions
facing ship operators today is
that of combining passenger air
transportation with passenger
ocean service. It was the opinion
at one of the panel discussions
that the foreign lines have al
ready taken steps to coordinate
their ocean and air transporta
tion service.” With the close of
the war, air transportation for
both passengers and cargo is ex
pected to increase to a large ex
tent, Lomax added.

CALENDAR

Co-op Barometer
To Record Sale
A barometer which will show
the quota and daily progress of
the' stamp sales on the campus
will be placed in the Co-op, Bev
erly Padgham, head of the bond
and stamp sales, said Friday.
The figures will show Oregon’s
per capita quota as compared
with other west coast universi
ties. Stamps may be bought at
the cashier booth in the Co-op.
Tentative plans have been
made for a Victory booth in the
Co-op, a rally dance, auction
sales, and dessertless nights,
Miss Padgham announced. Last
year houses on the campus gave
up one dessert a week and bought
defense stamps with the money
saved. These were donated to the
service scholarship fund which
was set up for the purpose of
helping Oregon students who
have been in the service to com
plete their education after the
war.
