"Friday, December 3, 1948 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Page 3 -Vr" A A T aa Hr A? ems Downcast Probies Discover Most Med Students Married Probies always have problems. These problems may include "idiosyncrasies" of a roommate, our hours curfew at 10:30 sharp and late (?) leaves, a tempera mental washing machine, lack of mail and males, and occasionally a quiz in one of our dozen or so classes. One illusion that a probie holds dear is quickly shattered after her arrival on the campus. A hurried survey shows that of the med students and internes are already married, engaged or almost. Ah me, such is life! But all probie problems aren't dreary and dull far from it. Fol lowing are some antidotes to counteract this belief. At regular intervals we shall attempt to dis play a few of the choice bits from the daily experience of the preclinical of U. of N. School of Nursing. Shirley Tuma has turned into quite a gardener since she went on the wards. It seems, that she was busily arranging and water ing flowers as a part of her ward ordering when she saw the most beautiful bouquet of red roses. She gathered them and started toward the door. "Does being on the wards for the first time make you nervous?" asked the patient. "Nervous?" replied Shirly, ''I never get nervous. "Then," demanded the patient. "where are you taking those paper flowers?" Too bad that Carole Wilson has had experience in a mental in stitution (as an attendant that is). She teaches some of her fortunate friends how to keep cool in a cold sheet. They're all wrapped up in the idea of shivering shock therapy. Davis Will Head Cancer Society Dr. Herbert Davis, Department of Surgery chairman, was elected executive committee chairman at the annual meeting of the Ne braska Division of the American Cancer society. Dr. Howard B. Hunt, Depart ment of Radiology chairman was elected secretary, and Dr. John R. Schencken, professor of pa thology and bacteriology, a mem ber of the executive committee. Dr. Harold Eggers. professor emeritus of pathology at the Uni versity of Nebraska College of Medicine, is field director for the Nebraska division. The society plans to distribute further funds to the University of Nebraska College of Medicine to be used in equipping a cancer re search laboratory. Med Students Not Draftablc While ill School 'Medical Advance' notify his local of cancellation of his porfcssional school standing through national headquarters and state headquarters of Selec tive Service. The national headquarters of the Selective Service system has sent out a new memorandum clarifying the positions of those students in Medical and Denial colleges. It recommends that students properly enrolled in the profes sional schools of Medicine and satisfactorily pursuing full time courses leading to graduation should be permitted to continue their studies until graduation. It also states that when a stu dent fails to pursue his course in a manner which is satisfactory to the professional school, ,a rep resentative of the school will Topic al Sigma Xi Last night Sigma Xi, scientific research society, held a meeting for members, associates and friends on the Medical college campus. The subject was "Recent Advances in Medicine." In addition to the dinner and speeches, an open house was held from 5-6:30 p. m. in various de partments of the college and hos pital.

Sniffin' Around I'm here, class can start now. I just want to get one thing straight around here. I'm the only live dog around these prem ises. I want Gundy to quit making me jealous by talking about Taffy. In all the years I've been here. Dr. Latta only talks about pigs, chicks, and hu mans instesd of man's best friend. I had a bad ease of hiccups re cently. Thought I'd drop in to the Nu Sig's house party Sat urday night, so I did. Mark this up as my mistake for the week as I had such a head, they had to carry me back to the A.K.'s. The Nu Sigs mistook me for an enemy of their shipwrecked mates and fed me poison. Anyway, it was some kind of liquid. I wish I had a date for Fri day night so I could go to the med school dance at Peony park. Don't suppose I could hitch a ride with someone, do you? I've got a new coat for the occasion, win ter, you know. I also wish those freshmen wouldn't act so smart. After all, they've only been here ten weeks. Look how long I've been here. Another thing, they never bring me anything to eat when I could go for something in between meals. Wonder who they think I am. They even use me to do cul tures, taking smears and things. And did you ever have anyone pound you like some of those monkeys do. It does my heart good to have an upperclassman give me the good word. It is going to be lonesome around here during Christmas vacation. I don't think it will be quite as bad as Thanksgiving vacation. There is a lag in the lecture here. Someone turned out the lights. Guess it's siesta time. Anyway, everyone s ems to be sleeping. No. i 's ijst another animated cartoon out spiders and blood cells. O js, just got a flea, pardon me while I scratch. I wish someone would tell those A. K.'s to give me a bath once in a w hile. There goes the bell, so I'll close my notes for now. Anyway, it is time for coffee.
