English Teacher Developes Philosophy on Dampness With ttK'o years in the social service division of Red Cross hospital work behind her. Miss Florence M. Sheehan is here on the campus this term for the first time to take her place as in structor in-the English department. Asked for the inevitable first impressions in Oregon, she replied, “Well, I’m acquiring a philos'ophic attitude toward the rain.’’ Employed at the Long Island convalescent hospital at Camp Up ton, her duties included work with the psychoneurotic cases and case histories of the servicemen just re turned from overseas. She often did liaison work between patients and their commanding officers or their families, helping to adjust difficulties and psychiatric tangles. Camp Upton, incidentally, was the ^locale for Irving Berlin’s “This Is , the Army,” and premiered the show. Red Cross Appealing Her reasons for going into Red Cross work were that “it appealed to the imagination, and it was a way of really getting into the war.” Another inducement was the prom ise of travel, but while the distance in miles was not very great, as she put it, the atmosphere, type of work, working conditions, and SIDE PATTER BOB WHITELY A lot of campus big wigs are turning th^ir stomachs north to Corn Valley this Saturday for the Civil War.

Albany is eleven miles away from the OAC campus. Speaking_©f football, there was an unusual riumber of co-eds out to see the Legal Eagle-Theta Chi mud bowl match Tuesday. When the lawyers play the Tau’s today the gals should wear mums. Girls rooting for the barristers should just bring a^ copy of Blackstone.

The best extemporaneous speech of the week happened yes terday whema student (I’ll save the pore guy) was supposed to speak on a domestic problem. He took off on the meat shortage! The class is still howling. Congratula tions to Head Coach Curley Walker who is flying back East this week end' to preform the huge merge. Friends ... or alleged friends of “Big Jim” Pickett are still miffed at the former’s chintzy trick of not supplying suitable cigars to the faithful when the Pickett heir was born. A verry shoddy outlook they sez. As far as social poop is con cerned it’s a cold day in Novem- | ber. The local hot rocks must have cold hands and are keeping them in their pockets for a change.

Adv. X other surroundings were tap re moved from her previous teaching position. The sooial work offered a way of crashing the field, as well, but while Miss Sheehan en joyed the work immensely, her main interest lies in teaching. In June, 1946, when the hospital closed, Miss Sheehan was offered a transfer but decided she wanted to get back into teaching. She had previously taught in Hartford, but came west because, she , declared, she had always wanted to come west, and this seemed as good a chance as any. Impressions Favorable Her impressions of the campus and the west in general are quite printable. “On the whole,” she re marked, “there is a kind of peace and lack of hecticness here.” An other distinction she noted is that people in the west appear to be more widely traveled than east erners. Miss Cheehan is a Yank in the truest sense of the word. Her home state is Massachusetts, and she was graduated from Smith Col lege at Northampton, Massachu setts. She did graduate work at Bread Loaf school in Middlebury, Vermont. Before going into Red Cross work, she taught English at Hartford, Connecticut.
