For Those Who Stay Up Late If something is bothering you on the job, you can get help even if you work on the night shift. Employee Relations rep resentatives Wanda Creiuhaw and Gloria McAuley will be available in their office on the first floor, yellow zone, during the night shift for the second time beginning at 11 p.m. Wednesday, May 18. Once a month representatives will be available to talk with employees on the second and third shifts as part of an expanded effort to facilitate employee-management com munications in the hospital and medical center, said Herbert E. Aikens, associate director of personnel and director of Employee Relations. Another new program involves visiting two departments each day to talk with employees and managers. "In the past we've waited until problems developed and departments came to us,” said McAuley. "Now we're making appointments to visit departments and assist in any way we can." Informal coffee meetings in the hospital's Board Room are being continued, Aikens said. Employees in the areas involved frequently are asked to submit unsigned questions to the Employee Relations representatives before the coffee meetings. These provide guides for the discussions. For more information call 684-6037. CHECK YOUR PRESSURE Night shift employees can check their blood pressure while they take a break for coffee and doughnuts in the Courtyard Cafeteria Thursday, May 19, from 1:30-3 a.m. TTie free blood pressure clinic is sponsored by the Night Nursing Service in recognition of National Blood Pressure Month. The nursing service will keep a record of each person's blood pressure and will give the person a wallet-size card with the information, said Velma Rohla, night nursing supervisor. Records can be updated during the blood pressure clinic to be offered each month during the night shift coffee and doughnut break. Analyzing Metabolism by Color (Continued from page 1) Like hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, cytochrome changes color as it gathers oxygen, Jobsis said. The scientists use sophisticated instruments to measure subtle changes in cytochrome color to determine how much oxygen cells receive. The researcher, a native of Holland, pointed out that the basic science work he and his associates are conducting has already been applied clinically and that new applications are currently being explored. Clinical Applications "Dr. George Austin, a neurosurgeon from Loma Linda Medical School in Los Angeles, has used the optical techniques to assess whether arterial grafts have increased blood flow and oxygen to the brains of stroke patients," Jobsis said. Dr. Herbert Saltzman, a pulmonary function specialist at Duke, is trying to extend the methods to certain lung and circulatory disorders. DR. FRANS JOBSIS In addition. Dr. Donald Serafin, a Duke plastic surgeon, is collaborating with the physiologists to see if the techniques wrill show whether fingers that have been severed accidentally and reattached are receiving enough blood to keep them alive. Pink Smock Marks Birthday with Sale In honor of its 10th anniversary, the Pink Smock Gift Shop is having a sale. May 16-21. The Hospital Auxiliary opened the shop in May of 1%7. BRUSHING UP ON HIS PAINTING—Bob Blake's 15th one-man show of watercolors will be on exhibit at the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill through the end of this month. Blake, who is coordinator of medical art here, has completed most of the 50 paintings in the exhibit during the past year. They are all North Carolina scenes. Tobacco barns and other farm scenes are among Blake's favorites to paint, and here he examines a scene from the Lawrence Crabtree farm on South Lowell Road. On the wall is a painting of a spot on Pleasant Green Road. (Photo by Lewis Parrish) Betty Leach, the first chairman, and Julia Negley, co-chairman, were iiistrumental in planning and setting up the shop, said Ort Busse, president of the Auxiliary. The tradition they started of two buying trips a year to New York, in addition to visiting the markets in North Carolirui, has helped to make the merchandise in the shop unique, she said. Polly McGiu"k, Mattie Belle Powell and Mary MulhoUand also have served as chairmen. Evelyn Maddox is currently the volunteer chairman, Edna McCollimi is co-chairman and Evelyn Martin is the shop's manager. "Under all these capable hands and with the assistance of the volunteers (among whom we are proud to have men) the shop has prospered," Busse said. The shop specializes in giftware, magazines and fresh flowers. Paul Holmes of the Emerald Gardens Shop not orJy supplies flowers for patients in the hospital but also makes corsages, table decorations or arrangements for any occasion. These can be ordered through the Pink Smock or directly through his shop. Just a mention of the Auxiliary gives a percentage of the sale to the Pink Smock. The Auxiliary invites everyone to help celebrate the 10th aimiversary by attending the sale next week. The Pink Smock is open Monday through Satujnday from 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and Stmday from 1-4:30 p.m.
