Army students who have occupied the dormitories have either gone or are going' soon, and the dorm girls are now facing the prospect of being moved back into the dorms. Life in the fraternity houses has been enjoyable this year; and most of the girls regret the necessity of moving back. That it is practical none of them will deny. That smaller living groups are infinitely more fun, more alive, more conducive to study is the contention of most of the girls. Realizing the impractieality of remaining in the fraternity houses while Hendricks, Susan Campbell and John Straub halls are empty, most of the girls are willing to compromise to retain the autonomy ot tlieir cstaoiisnca snicuiei units. By moving Hie established lodge organizations into separate units of John Straub hall, this autonomy could be maintained. This plan would make it unnecessary to operate more than one kitchen. John Straub hall also offers more modern accommoda tions (closet and bureau space, beds, desks) than either of the two women's dormitories. Drawbacks to living in John Straub hall, as expressed by the girls, arc several: (1) The only telephone in each unit is on the ground floor, (oris on the fourth floor find this rather awkward. (2) Although wash tubs, irons and ironing boards are provided, there are no lines on which to hang clothes. (3) The living rooms in the individual units are dark, too formal, and definitely too masculine. Some girls feel that these drawbacks outnumber the ad vantages; while others prefer living with a smaller group re gardless of the disadvantages. Moving the girls into John Straub ball may be a temporary solution to the desire for maintaining the present organizations. But sooner or later the men are bound to return to the campus and to their dorm.—Carol Cook. "Committedto Mif CoAe* . • On the hack page of yesterday’s Kmerald was an inconspicu ous story about University nurses' aides. Tonight in Ocrlinger hall alumni room, according to the story, University women who took Nurses' Aide training last term will receive their caps. To a nurse—or a nurses’ aide—the receipt of her cap is a milestone moment. The cap is the symbol of weary hours spent at tasks sometimes unpleasant, sometimes back-breaking, some times difficult, sometimes merely' monotonous and routine. The cap is the symbol of responsibility, and of faithful fulfillment of that responsibility. It is the symbol of devotion to a duty supremely Samaritan—caring for and comforting others. The roll of honor lists thirty-five University women who will receive their caps tonight: Barbara Brown, Louise Brun dage, Anne Chapman, Mary Decker, Suzanne Dcvercll, Helen Diersli, Ceorgia Dussin, Marge Kimer, Margery Hill, Mercedes Foley, Sally Fullerton, Beverly Goetz, Margaret Doss, Sluirlce Heiman, Lois Hoffman, Betti llodecker, Dorothy Hopping, Marv Humphreys, Mary Ingels, Jean Loomis, Lilian Mitchell, Pat Mitchell, Gretchen Nicolai, Theodora Nicolai, Ann Rams dell, Roberta Rebham, Betty Sailor, Susan Sawyer, Pat Sears, Pat Spencer, Catherine Stewart, Shirley Tavlor, Joyce Thomp son. Jan Settle, and Dorothy Payne. "When student nurses receive their caps, they repeat the Florence Nightingale pledge. The ceremony is impressive in its simplicity. Dressed in their white uniforms, carrying- the glow ing Florence Nightingale lamps, wearing- their new-won caps, they say together the beautiful words: “I solemnly pledge myself before Cod and in the presence of this assembly to pass my life in purity and to practice my pro fession faithfully. 1 .will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous, and will not take or knowingly administer any harmful drug. 1 will do all in my power to maintain and /J Blip ajj the. Jdifi By BETTY SAILOR With the old adage “Better late than never” in mind, we find our selves, three days late, following A1 Young on the army page. We extend our sincere sympathies to our well-wisher, Mr. Young, in the hope that he will be able to bear up under the strain of Mr. Price’s censorship of Thursday's “Beer etc.” column! This week’s puzzle—What is the significance of the horse bridle that ADPi Barbara Stephens just received from fiance Glenn Jobe, formerly of Co. A, now at Camp Cooke? One of the week’s newest and smoothest couples are Betty Anne Brown, Kappa, and Dick Brooksbank. Hope we’ll be seeing more of this! Seems that Terry Carroll and Keith Murphy have been having a little trouble lately — what’s the matter, fellows ? Aren’t there enough girls on the campus to go around ? Is Homer the lieutenant that we saw Gamma Phi Mary Wright with the other day ? Rumor has it that Annabel Mc Arthur and George Bray, now in the merchant marine, have decided to call it quits! What is the reason behind the great concern that Vern Gebert has for Beverly Eckert? We’d like to know. Are Peg Allison and Joyce Rowe just going to Denver, Colorado, for the ride ? We don’t think so. Re cently announced in San Francisco was the last year’s marriage of Alpha Chi Pat Ward to Chi Psi Eud Haskill. What is Ginny Hayes so excited about lately? Could it elevate the standard of my pr l'idence all personal matters co family affairs coming to my ki calling. With loyalty I will en his work and devote myself to to my care.” The nurses’ aides will not 1 reserved for graduate nurses.

Romance seems to be flourishing in the Emerald office between Mar guerite “Little Beaver” Wittwer and Robert “Eager Beaver” Rowse. And what’s the deep, underlying truth about that diamond ring that Edie Newton received but says she doesn't have now ? Seems that Marilyn Sage re ceived three orchids from her en gineer now at Camp Cooke. This looks serious! Furloughs are real ly making news up Tri-Delt way— this week Drew Pomeroy, of Camp Roberts arrived to spend most of his 14-day furlough with “Steamie” Williams and last weekend Phyllis Lehman's navy man, Howard, ar rived. Bev Weiner and Bill Goldstein have a very advanced case of spring fever if those long con versations between classes mean anything. Why did Janet Thomp son fly to Pendleton? Could be a ring in the offing for Sue Hamil ton from that lieutenant from Maryland, now in England, before long. What’s this we hear about that fortune teller who predicted Dodie Lakin’s wedding day on June 11? Sounds mighty interesting! Then there’s always glamour boy Stew art Douglas whose tooth-paste ading puts all of the women in a swoon, it says here! Does Bernard Schmidt know that he has a secret admirer ? One ol’ the latest combinations on rec ord is that Marge Eimer-Jack Howell interest! From the Alpha Gam house conies news of another engage ment. . . . Fpon her return from a trip to Canada, Eleanor Burne an nounced her betrothal to L. A. Hurst who is in the navy. The flower mystery at the Alpha Phi house is deepening—Helen Diersh received a dozen pink carnations from the unknown sender of the ifession, and will hold in cou nmitted to my keeping and all LOwledge in the practice of my deavor to aid the physician in the welfare of those committed epeat this pledge tonight—it's it as they receive their caps and mas, they will know that they le fidelity, fulfilled the nurse’s are of those committed to her FOR YOUR PINS AND EARRINGS All the fresh beauty of spring's prettiest flower delicately ' hand-painted and shaped to ( life-like loveliness in petal-light porcelain . . jewelry you'll be proud to own and wear Colors: Yellow and Violet; Yellow end Brown; Yellow and Orchid; Violet; Yellow; Venus Pink.
