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.

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.
