: THE CADUCEUS 15 NE W« -i'v I' CONDUCTED BY MISS ELIZABETH P. UZELMEIER MAKING PROGRESS SEE WARFIELD. STUDENT GOVERNMENT SOON TO BE LAUNCHED. After two weeks of forging and welding, the constitution, which is to point the way for the self goyernment of the" Student Nurses of the U. S. Army Base Hospital, Camp Greene, has been completed. It is now to be sanctioned by Lieutenant-Colonel George A. Renn, hospital commander, and by Miss Susan G. Parish, chief nurse. It is expected that the student self- government will be in full swing be fore the end of next week. Miss Georgia Parris has acted ijts temporary chairman during the period that the constitution has been in the forming. The executive committee has been made up of Misses Cockrell, Offett, Miller and Hickock. Rare abil ities have been shown in meeting cer tain topics of parliamentary proceed ings. Major H. W. Way, head of the recon struction service of the base ho.spi- tal, delivered an address before the Student Nurse body on last Friday afternoon. He discussed phases of army discipline and the imiportance of the written law and traditions gov erning military behavior. Lieutenant-Colonel Renn talked be fore the probationers on Thursday af ternoon. Ht outlined for them what would be expected if they continued their army service. After the constitution for gaverning the sttudent nurses has been adopted the first move wilt be the election of permanent officers. At the head will be the commanding\officer of the Student Nursing School of the U. S. Army Base Hospital, . Camp Greene. There will be a captain elected for each student nurse class and two lieutenants for each class. There are two classes enrolled at the hospital at the present time. , The commanding officer must come from the ranks of the senior class, the new law sets out, and will hold office for six months. The coming election has already brought out mark ed political abilities in some of the student nurses. Who will win ihe highest honors is yet very much in the dark. , Progress in framing the fundamen-. tal law of the embryo society has ne cessarily been retarded by debates on topics which were presented for con- Thirty probationers attended in a body the production of The Auction eer, in which David Warfield played the leading role at the Auditorium on Monday nigiht. Many of the hospital officers, nurses and enlisted men were also among those present. THAT MORNING ALARM LOSE SEVEN SEVERAL PROBATIONERS TO RETURN HOME. Seven student nurses have been granted relief by government order (luring the past week and will leave at once for their home. They had requested immediate discharge on th(:; grounds that they do not desire to follow their nurse training further, now that the war is over. Those who have been discharged are Misses Annette Moore, Lynch burg, Va.; Ruth Pierce, Indianapolis; Mazie Nicholas, Hazelton, Pa.; Ida Johnson, Princeton, Ky.; Rena Davis, Philadelphia; Verna Hughes, Dela ware, and Ruth Lytle, St, Paul. GET CHAIRS. The Red Cross has just supplied two hundred new chairs to the hos pital Red Cross aBuilding. The framework of the chairs is iron, mak ing them most durable and yet easily hanadled and constructed so that they can be telescoped into small space. The new seats were first used on Tuesday evening at the picture show, which is a semi-weekly event at the Red Cross building. IT GETS THE NURSES ALSO “Some day I’m going to kill the bugler. Some day they’re going to find him dead’’ Is a favorite song at the detachment while the nurses are striving to think up a parody on “Some day I’m goin’ to” mop up “with the bell ringer.” For the nurses “also serve” and being in the service have “to get up in the morning.” Their awakening alarm is a hand bell which sounds along the hall ways at an early hour. One of The Caduceus cartoonists has pictured that moment of awaken ing and in order to dodge the accusa tion depicting the emotions of any one of the nurses has drawn a wierd like ness of nobody in particular. READING ROOM. A reading room, in connection with the library, has been fitted up at the Red Cross building. It is a cozily appointed room with the admonition of “silence” appearing in several places. ON LEAVE. Miss Alice Laymon, nurse, is on leave to her home in Newville, N. C. TO PHILADELPHIA. Nurse Miss Martha Jehle is on a five day pass to Philadelphia. LOVE OR MONEY? sideration as a part of the constitu tion. In every case the subjects un der discussion were finally settled by unanimous consent. Miss Jack- son held out for two days against iho fixing'of the bbreakfast hour at 6:30, it is stated. When you see a soldier spread all over a table with several sheets of paper in front of him and looking damn serious, right then and there you can make up your mind that he is writing on one of two subjects: Love or money. —Bombproof.
