UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The Madam Inspector Causes Much Anxiety
Keys are becoming a rage on the Hill. The vogue is not due to any sudden liberality in the extension policy of the learned crowd, or any Greek society whatever. It is instead—sss—stt, keep it shady; a precautionary measure. Why?
Easily answered, my dear Georgiana. Somebody, or other decided that the Y. W. secretary needed a little labor in the reals of the material as well as the intangible—just by way of being sure that she maintained an equilibrium of personality, you know, this secretary must have this secretary in her corporeal person, personally inspect the rooms of University women.
From the secretarial point of view it is really a most wonderful and fascinating pastime, besides furnishing an unparalleled opportunity for collecting material for a health museum written, "Half Lives" Housewife, whether the secretary loves the job or loathes it, it has be done—like duty, you know.
The women students were alarmed when they heard what was coming. There were whispers of a raid on rouge boxes, eye brow pencils, souvenir cigarettes, unmade beds, wraps not hung up by ten in the morning and floors evidencing an unpresentable amount of dust. Some one heard that she worked out statistics and took names. No one wanted to be a statistic.
Mighty women trembled in their pumps. Presidents of up-lift societies were late to classes getting "that bed" made. Wise seniors said to the freshmen roommates, "Flunk if we must, but this room has to be kept absolutely perfect until she gets past us. You make the bed and I'll get keys and lock all the dresser drawers." Hence all incriminating Dorines were placed under lock and key each morning. Hundreds of keys were carried on the Hill. Hardware merchants reported their stock sold out late last night.
The all important question of the uninspected portion on arriving home at noons and nights these days is, "Has she been here yet?"

The first thing that almost anyone in direction of any branch of war work says when asked what girls graduating from college should do to be use, is "Tell them to go into nursing. The greatest need is there."
There is yet no complete arrangement for the training or using of nurses' aids. The Red Cross, however, is projecting short courses of training for helpers. These will begin with the First Aid and Home Nursing courses, such as are now being given in the University. After them will come a more advanced course, consisting of 240 hours of hospital training. It is expected that such work will be given in Kansas City during the summer though the arrangements are not yet completed. Those taking the course will be ready to serve as voluntary workers in Red Cross civilian service, or may be used as voluntary aids in convalescent hospitals. Miss Anne Tachudy, at the Red Cross headquarters, 1020 McGee street, has charge of the work in Kansas City.
