Three Students Hold Full Time SOW Jobs
So you think going to school is a full-time job? At least three students on the Hill are holding down full-time 48-hours-a-week jobs in addition to their studies. They are hospital orderlies at the Sunflower Ordnance Works,going to classes during the day and working at night. $ \textcircled{2} $
Ralph Hale. College junior and pre-medic, works the swing shift, 4 o'clock to midnight; Winfred Nash, senior pharmacy student, is on the graveyard detail, midnight to 8 o'clock; and Floyd Santner, junior pre-medic, works as relief for the first two, sometimes working 16-hour shifts. Santner, however, has a reduced class schedule.
All have been working at the plant since June 1 of last year. Their duties are to assist the seven full-time physicians on the plant medical staff, and to take care of minor injuries in the field. They ride in regulation army ambulances which have bullet-proof bodies and all the trimmings of a front line vehicle.
Nash, who is taking 17 hours of
school work and preparing for the state pharmacy examinations, admits that he has to be in somewhat of a hurry to drive to town in the 30 minutes between the time he gets off work and his first class. He pins class notes to the steering wheel and studies as he drives.
The men admit that they sometimes sleep as long as 20 hours at a stretch on their days off. During the week they nap between classes, at noon,' and, except in Hale's case, after dinner in the evening.
Nash, from Tulsa, Okla., got his desire to attend pharmacy school while working in a Walgreen drug store. Starting when he was 11 years old, he has worked, until last summer, for that chain every summer between school terms, and has a pin 'or ten years service.

The conference is sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Main speakers at the conference are Clyde Eagleton, professor of International Law at New York University; and William C. Johnstone, Jr., dean of the faculty at George Washington University, Washington, D.C. The program of the conference emphasizes post-war possibilities.
