Nurses' Aides Give Needed Service To Red Cross
For a good many years United States citizens have been contributing to the Red Cross, for it stands high on the list of worthy causes. An organization as immense as the Red Cross couldn't possibly exist without the financial aid which it receives through drives such as the one being made on the Hill now, but money, in itself, is not the backbone of the organization.
Without the personnel—the doctors, the nurses, and the thousands who give their time and energy in part-time work — the money would be useless. Those persons who give of themselves and their time, which might be spent in some more pleasant pastime, are the most important contributors to the Red Cross.
The 15 University women, who receive their caps tonight as a sign of the completion of their first 80 hours of Nurses' Aide training, are a part of this more important group. After finishing 35 hours of class work on practical nursing, the women put in at least 45 hours of morning and evening service at the campus and the city hospitals. If they weren't able to squeeze their hospital work in with their regular class schedules, they would sometimes begin work at 5 o'clock in the morning or work from 7 to 10 o'clock at night.
As the name implies, the Nurses' Aides take over the simpler tasks of nursing, and, thereby, allow the regular nurses to concentrate on the technical work. In taking the Red Cross course, the women sign up for four years service with a minimum of 150 hours of work a year. Those who have the time usually put in several times the minimum number of hours.
Since the average college woman usually doesn't have too much extra time on her hands, those women who spend their free hours as Nurses' Aldes are to be congratulated on their good work and service to the Red Cross.
Max Hughes' Recital Termed Successful
Before an enthusiastic audience, Max Hughes, graduate student from Colby, last night presented his graduate piano recital in Fraser theater.
Seven curtain calls with loud applause displayed the full enjoyment the audience felt for his perfect coordination, and the rich and full tone he stamped on each number. "Six Surrealist Afterludes" (Harold Triggs) received the greatest response from the audience. Hughes delivered an impressionistic and colorful style to each of the afterludes.
"Organ Prelude and Fugue in D Major" (Bach-Busoni) opened the program, with Hughes efficiently displaying his clear technique. "Sonata in B Minor, Opus 58" (Chopin), the second offering, was typical Chopin-dreamy melodic, and forceful.
Hughes gave an emotional and forceful interpretation of "Variations Symphoniques" (Franck), the final number on the program. D. M. Swarthout, Dean of the School of Fine_Arts, played the orchestra part on a second piano. Enthusiastic applauding then called Hughes back on the stage for three acknowledgements.
The burning of coal was prohibited in London in 1306 because of the smoke it produced.
Rock Chalk Talk
By HANNA
HEDRICK
They unroll their own: With the increasing scarcity of kleenex on the market, coeds have been forced to resort to ersatz. As a result, Heloise Hillbrand, who was having a conference with an English professor on the book, "Grapes of Wrath," forgot and whipped out a square of Delsey's super soft to wipe a smudge from her forehead.

Only God can make a tree: Thinking that spring was here, one art teacher sent her class out to sketch trees near Potter Lake Tuesday. After a short interval, the rains came. For awhile, the students swathed in raincoats and scarves, stuck with it. At last, an unanimous decision was made to retreat from the grove to the Union fountain, where hat trees provided a more interesting subject.
The Betas thought it was another case of crying "wolf, wolf" when the pinning was announced of Jane Woestmeyer and Dan Chase, at the Prom Saturday night . . . after the Shook-Mowery farce last semester. After it had been verified, the Betas realized they had lost a good man to the Gamma Phis.
