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. This will be the last
time to_segjj3regon’s football team
in action . .. . that is . . . and' should
prove to "be a thriller all the way.
Just a cautious note to those mak
ing the trip. . . . 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.
Kelly Snow la still taking a beating
over the Oregonian’s sassiety page
spread he received in Sunday’s
paper. 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. A vote
of thanks to the gang that mailed
back the ATO straightener-upper.
The freshmen bend over to thank
you. Remember on these snow
sunshiney-rain drenched' mornings
tire best thing to iron out those
abdominal kinks is a good steam.

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.
