Washing Days at Sellards Provide Education, Laughs
By Donna Engle
On the contrary, they can teach many elemental facts.
Washing days need not be boring or routine encounters.
In her introductory course in "color genetics," she learned that green tends to be the dominate color when thoroughly mixed with white by the Sellards Hall washing machine.
"Color Genetics" Learned
She said, "I went to wash my white clothes and there was a green rug in the washer. I took it out and washed my clothes as I ordinarily would.
"When I went back to take them out, they were all a nice mint green.
Patricia Campbell, Melvern junior recently learned color discrimination does not occur on the inside of an operating automatic washing machine.
"The girl who had washed the rug had put a pair of white socks in the machine (they had since turned to green). I had missed seeing them, so they went through the washer with my white clothes."
How did Miss Campbell discover these pertinent facts?
After Miss Campbell discovered her green clothing, she applied her recently acquired knowledge of "color genetics" to the situation.
Dye Remover Works
"My clothes are now white again because I used dye remover on them." she said.

Martha Moser, Linden sophomore has become a better educated woman as the result of one of her washing experiences at Sellards.
She learned that water tends to flow out of a washing machine when the lint trap is opened while the machine is operating.
"I was going to empty the lint trap when the machine was going. Water poured out of the machine onto the floor. It was just like a miniature water fall," she commented.
Studies in Laundry Room
Molly Brodhead, Marion sophmore, has learned that the laundry room can have a significant academic value.
"I've written a term paper for Spanish there," she said.
One of 44 women who use Sellards' lone washing machine, Linda Wilson, Kansas City, Kan., freshman,
"The machine moves out from the wall sometimes while it's washing, so you just have to push it back." Miss Wilson said.
has discovered the amount of strength necessary to budge the machine while it is washing.
Because the women at Sellards are learning through experience, wash days are very seldom routine days.
On the contrary, they are often hectic days.
