Nurses Aids Help at Infirmary
During Christmas 'Flu’ Seige
By WINIFRED ROMTVEDT
“Credit for a very splendid job,” in the opinion of Dr. Fred
Miller, health service physician, is due the ten nurses’ aides, all
but two of them University girls, who helped out at the infirm
ary during the influenza siege before Christmas.
“Just after the army furlough week was over,” said Dr.
Miller, “lots of influenza started among the soldiers. The 2b
beds upstairs were inadequate, so
it was necessary to open the base
ment.”
Thus 45 patients could be han
dled, but the regular hospital staff
of three full-time and one half
time nurses was inadequate. It
was then that nurses’ aides were
asked to help. They worked hard,
gave fip part of their vacation,
a.nd were not paid anything, ac
cording to Dr. Miller. One coed,
Barbara Hawkins, contracted the
flu while working.

istered nurses and doctors on the
staff that they did a very excell
ent job, and we are most appre
ciative. Without them we would
have had to send some of the sol
diers to Camp Adair, which was
already crowded,’ the doctor stat
ed. “Under nurses’ direction, they
could handle all situations which
arise from flu.”
Those who helped are: Barbara
Hawkins, Joanne Holstad, Billie
Lawrence, Mrs. R. R. Huestis,
Marilyn Beard, Mrs. Clyde Craw
ford, Rose Marie Boyd, Pat Van
Hoosear, Jenelyn Gaston, and
June Hitchcock.
Last term 42 women, out of an
original enrollment of 45, com
pleted the nurses’ aide course,
which was taught in the basement
of the infirmary. In order to con
tinue as nurses’ aides, these wom
en must work at least 150 hours
during a period of 12 months, ac
cording to Mrs. John Bell, who is
Eugene chairman of the Volun
teer Nurses’ Aide committee.
Those who completed the course
are now working varying lengths
of time at the Sacred Heart and
Eugene hospitals.
This term 35 are enrolled in the
class, which meets Tuesday, Wed
nesday and Thursday evenings
from 7 to 10 in the classrooms in
the Sacred Heart hospital. Miss
Zula Kickbush, assisted by Miss
Schultz, is the instructor. Uni
versity credit is given for the
course.
The endowment of Northwest
ern university totals $30,000,000.
