Wheat-Stockdale
While Other Students Count Sheep
Sigma Kappa announces the engagement of Dorothy Wheat, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Wheat, Kansas/City, to Don Stockdale, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Stockdale, Kansas City.
Sixty-nine, seventy, seventy-one, seventy-two—this is what physiology students do early in the morning while other students sleep.
The ring in the center of a gardenia was carried in by Achilles Wheat. Miss Wheat's brother.
Mr. Stockdale was graduated from the University in 1947. He was in the School of Engineering and a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Miss Wheat is a junior and majoring in home economics.
Mrs. Mary Younkman, housemother, received a corsage of white gardenias. Betty Sargent and Ruth Murphy, assistants, had corsages of white carnations tied with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon colors, purple and gold. Miss Wheat wore pale yellow carnations also tied with the Sig Alph colors.
They are studying pulse rates under different conditions. One of the more disturbing conditions is counting the pulse immediately on walking in the morning and ten minutes later while still in bed.
The student then sits up in bed. He again takes his pulse. He can dress without taking it but he does so immediately after he has completed dressing. The pulse is taken again before and after eating and exercising. After the latter, he continues to
count the pulse until it returns to normal.
Physiology students say the results are surprising. They refuse to disclose them but say "try it yourself sometime."
There 's A Human Being Under That White Starched Exterior
The girl in the white starched uniform who wakes you so early in the morning at Watkins hospital to stick a cold thermometer under your tongue is really human. She is one of the many efficient graduate nurses there.

Resting and chatting over their daily 9:50 to 10 a.m. cup of coffee, the nurses' interests in their work and families comes to light.
Motherly Mrs. Elma Stauffer, head nurse, was graduated from the University last June as a Phi Beta Kappa. Five years ago she came to the University with 30 hours credit from the University of California. By taking six to eight hours each semester she completed her course. Mrs. Stauffer has two grown children and seven grandchildren.
