Rockefeller Receives
Piano as Memorial

Rockefeller Hall recently added
to its smoking room the distine-
tion of having a piano. The in-
and
Mrs. Arthur Morse, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, in memory of their daugh-
ter, Katherine, who was a former
student at Bryn Mawr, in the
class of ’45.

Kathy was known to her class-
mates and friends in Rock as a
gifted musician, which makes the
gift doubly appropriate. Before
coming to Bryn Mawr, she show-
ed great promise as a_ violinist,
and appeared with the Cincinnati
Symphony at a young people’s
concert at the age of ten. She
continued her studies in Phila-
delphia with the noted violinist,
Thaddeus P. Rich. During her
year at Bryn Mawr, she was
elected song mistress of her class,
and wrote the class song.

The piano was welcomed with
open arms in Rock and is running
strong competition with the rad-
io. Everything from _ boogie
woogie to Beethoven can be heard
issuing from’ the smoking room
at all hours. It became so pop-
ular, as a matter of fact, that
quiet hours had to be named for
the players, who seem to include
all who can claim any pretense of
proficiency. Its tone and action
are thoroughly approved, and
Rockefeller is greatly indebted to
Mr. and Mrs. Morse.

Patterson Discusses
Metals In Wartime

Continued from Page 1
of the few physical problems re-
lated to the war which is com-
prehensible to the layman, and at
the same time not secret informa-
tion.

Accomingly, Mr. Patterson will
approach the problem in a strict-
ly popular fashion, and will ex-
plain how the strength of metals
involves a real physical problem.

Strong, flawless metals play a
vital part in the production of
war goods—from the _ delicate

casting of a bullet which cannot
vary one-hundredth of an_ inch
from the prescribed shapes, to the

equally delicate balancing of a
giant Flying Fortress. The basis
of

of the strength or weakness
metals is the analysis of how the
atoms pile up together. With the
aid of demonstrations and models,
Mr.. Patterson will explain the
elemental principles.

Mr. Patterson attended McGill
University, where he received his
B. S. in 1923, his M. S. in 1924,
and his Ph.D in 1928; he was Lec-
turer in Physics there until 1929.
Associated at various times with
the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research, the University
of Pennsylvania, and the Massa-
chusetts—Institute of Technology,
he came to Bryn Mawr in 1936 as
Assistant Professor of Physics,
becoming Associate Professor,, in

"1940.

Dr. Hazard Describes
Army Naturalization

Continued from Page 1

“More Germans and _ Italians
were naturalized than any group
except for Canadians,” Dr. Haz-
ard said. This was significant
since any of these naturalized
Americans captured in Italy or
Sicily by Nazis would be consid-
ered traitors and treated as such,
without even the considerations
granted to prisoners of war.

Working on the high seas, in
hospitals, and just behind the
front lines, Dr. Hazard naturalized
Greeks, Africans, Austrians, Atis-
tralians, and members of other
nationality groups who were “anx-

ious to be citizens of the country)

whose uniform they were wear-
ing.”

Nursing as Vocation
Explained by Williams

Deanery, January 7. Discuss-
ing the United States Nurses Ca-
det Corps in particular and nurs-
ing in general, Mrs. -Whitney
Williams emphasized that in the
nursing field, a woman is not re-
leasing a man-for combat duty,
but doing.a vital job ‘which only
a woman can do. Mrs. Williams,
a representative of the National
Nursing Council for War Service
and the Cadet Nurses, spoke at

one of the many vocational con-
ferences given throughout the
year,

The primary requisites for a
nurse, Mrs. Williams said, are
patience and understanding as

well as a strong sense of respon-
sibility, imtelligence and _ accur-
acy, and a real enjoyment in her
work and in meeting all kinds of
people with widely differing prob-
lems.

False Impressions

Three false impressions about
nursing’ have arisen; that a nurse
leads a cloistered life, that she
always has to give up pleasure
because of uncertain hours, and
that she has, on the whole, many
unpleasant experiences’ with life.
A nurse, Mrs. Williams stated,
does have a careful and thorough
training and long and often ir-
regular hours, and she sees many
sides of life, but her work does
not demand any more than do
most jobs well done. Predicting
an important future for nursing,
Mrs. Williams said that it will
offer opportunities to trained wo-
men in all phases of Public Health

work from instructing and_ re-
search to executive positions in
hospitals and psychological _ re-
construction work here and
abroad.
Home Front

In order to free more’ experi-

enced nurses for’ overseas. duty,

there is now a great need for
nurses on the home front. A stu-
dent Cadet need only pledge to
remain on active duty for the
duration—all else she chooses
herself—whether she enters a ci-
vilian or military hospital here
or abroad, the city in which she
wishes to work and the kind of
job she wants to do. She may
be already married or marry
during her training. She receives
summer and winter uniforms,
room and board, and monthly al-
lowances consisting of $15 a
month the first 9 months as a

Pre-Cadet, $20 a month for the (j

15-21 months as a Jr, Cadet and
at least $30 a month for the re-
maining months as a Senior Ca-
det (this time depends on wheth-
er or not the Nursing School for
which she has been accepted al-
lows credit to be given for any
previous science or other classes
she has completed). On graduat-
ing she is eligible to become a
registered nurse.

a Pathe News poll of 1939 were
shown in which the majority of
those interviewed stated that they
wanted no foreign entanglements;
we had our own problems to solve.

second World War was depicted.

teapots of every conceivable size,

among the tagged receptacles is
a Raku Bauku turtle teapot (18th
century) . Another is black and
shaped like a cock with a papoose-
like chick on the lid. A teapot de-
scribed as having a Kyota decora-
tion in English.style puzzled its
examiners by the striking resem-
blance it bore to the pottery of the
American Indian.

All pieces are graded, priced,
and dated... definitely ‘dated.
Translations of ornamenting Chin-
ese characters are inserted in the
teapots. One inscription to a
drinker begins, “Ideas are “ever-
lasting, calmness is a miracle...”

The collection which was given
to the art department two years
ago has been stored because of lack
of exhibition space.

Student Waitresses
Seek Wage Revision

The question of student wage
level has been raised again on cam-
pus. Rockefeller waitresses are
now petitioning for an increase in
wages as a result of changes made
in the system. Instead of 40 cents
an hour, they are asking for the
flat rate of 60 cents a meal.

When the plan for student wait-
resses in the halls was first ingug-
urated, the girls were paid the reg-
ular campus rate. of 40 cents an
hour, although the average length
of time they worked per meal was
then an hour and a half, they were
automatically paid sixty cents a
meal regardless of the actual time
involved.

System Costly

The college found that this sys-
tem of waitresses was far more
costly than they expected. In mid-
November, therefore, they started
a new system whereby waitresses
were still paid 40 cents an hour
but were required to register the
time they worked. Recently the
number of waitresses has been re-
duced.

Since this reduction requires
more work by the remaining wait-
resses, they feel they are entitled
to a raise in pay. The increase is
not much; under the ‘time clock”
method the average pay was fifty
cents a meal so they are request-
ing only a ten cent raise.

The petition is also an expres-
sion of their opinion that the
“time clock” method is unsatisfac-
tory. They believe that the work
is often lengthened in order to
get more pay, the amount of pay
is always uncertain and it causes
unnecessary difficulties in book-
keeping. A flat wage would give
a more efficient and honest system.

The petition is now being con-
sidered by Miss Charlotte Howe,
Manager of Halls.
