Nurses Home Rounds Out Student Health Center
Did you ever wonder where nurses go when they get off duty?
Many of the nurses at Watkins Memorial Hospital go to their own home on Sunflower Road, built through the insight of one of the University's benefactors.
The nurses' home, built in 1937, was made possible through the donations of Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins, who also donated the funds for the construction of the hospital in 1931.
After visiting the old hospital, which had been converted from an ordinary center building, Mrs. Watts visited the University to provide health center for the University.
Nurses Needed Housing
Nurses Needed Housing Upon completion of the hospital she felt, for the unit to be complete, there should be adequate housing facilities for the nurses. Watkins Nurses Home was then built
The frame structure, located immediately behind the hospital, will house 14 women. There are nine private rooms and a sleeping porch Living room, dining room and kitchen are on the first floor and laundry and recreation facilities are in the basement.
The kitchen is open for the nurses' use at any time although they eat all their meals at the hospital. They receive wages, and living allowances, and the latter is applied directly to their expenses at the home.
All Work At Watkins
All of the nurses who live in the home work at Watkins. Among the nine women who are presently living there are a woman physician, three registered nurses, two laboratory technicians, a physical therapist and a psychiatric social worker.
The ninth resident of the home is Mrs. Elma Stauffer, head nurse at the student health center. Mrs. Elma K. graduate, looks after the home.
"Actually, about all I do is make sure the doors are locked at night," she said.
The residents, with the exception
of the physical therapist, who is taking her affiliation at Watkins, are all graduate students. Closing hours, then, are only observed by the undergraduate student.
"The girls really don't require much looking after," Mrs. Stauffer said.
Enjoy Work With Students
"I think most of us enjoy working with the students. They make it desirable to work here because they always look on the bright side of life. They can be mischievous, but usually they are just fine." she said.
Teachers, too, are usually good patients. "They have been around students so long that they have a bright outlook on things."
Cellist Wins $100 In Tulsa Contest

Mo. junior, won the $100 first prize
in the string division of the Philharmonic Society of Tulsa's midwestern music competition Sunday at Tulsa,
Okla.
She is a student of Raymond Stuhl, associate professor of 'cello.
Miss Gewinner was cited in 1954 and '55 for the Pi Kappa Lambda honorary music society's award as the outstanding freshman and outstanding sophomore musician.
NEWARK, Del. (IP)—Working independently, each of the five deans of the undergraduate schools of the University of Delaware has compiled a list of reasons for academic failure which are remarkably similar, regardless of the school involved.
Deans List Flunk Causes
Topping the list of reasons for failure are:
Insufficient hours of study, Been study, habit
Lack of desire to succeed,
Poor study habits.
Over-participation in extra-curricular activities.
Related to poor study habits are poor use of available study time, failure to recognize what the instructor expects his students to know, choosing wrong hours and conditions to study.
The deans were unanimous in citing the advantages as well as the hazards of participation in extracurricular activities. Each individual must determine for himself how much time he can afford to devote to nonacademic affairs, they said, for beneficial as they may be, they are not the principal business of a college education.
