The Meredith Infirmary: Explanation and Appreciation
rinp nf Ihp mnct I \>c— ^
One of the most complained
about, and perhaps misunderstood,
facilities on the Meredith campus
is our infirmary. If this facility were
explained more fully, students
would belter understand and ap
preciate its functions.
In chargc of the infirmary are
two registered nurses who live in the
building, Mrs. Hurst and Mrs.
Saunders, They were classmates at
Roanoke Rapids Hospital where
they took their R.N. training. Mrs.
Hurst spent five atid one half years
in the Army and was the Director
of Nursing Service at Roanoke
Rapids Hospital prior to coming to
Meredith in 1958. In Raleigh she is
a member of the Business and Pro
fessional Women and the Y.W.C.A.
for which she does volunteer work.
She attends the Edenton Street
Methodist Church and is a member
of the Guild. She is also a member
of the National League for Nursing.
She has one daughter, Elizabeth.
Mrs. Saunders attended East
Carolina College before entering
nurses’s training. She is also a
Methodist. In the summer she works
in Enfield at the Brown’s Nursing
Home. She also does work with the
Blood Mobile, Mrs. Saunders has
one son and three grandchildren.
Working with the nurses is the
college doctor, Dr. Senter, who
graduated from Wake Forest Col
lege, University of Maryland Medi
cal School, and did his internship
and residency at Grady Memorial
Hospital in conjunction with Emory
University. Dr. Senter has four chil
dren including a set of twins. He
is a past president of the Raleigh
Civitan Club, president of the Wake
County Heart Association, an elder
of the White Memorial Presbyterian
Church, and a past board member
of Hilltop Home. He is also a mem
ber of the Wake County Medical
Society and the Raleigh Society of
Internal Medicine.
There are also two maids who
work in the infirmary, Louise
Brown and Novella Dunstan, who
replaced Heddy Hatfield.
The nurses’ duties are to attend
bed patients, to see the girls who
come as out patients at office hours,
and to be on call for any emer
gencies, especially after 7:30 p.m.
They cannot go to girls’ rooms ex
cept in cases of extreme emergency
because there are simply too many
students for them to make “house
calls.” However, they both ex
pressed a desire to work with the

unless they know someone is
coming.
Mrs. Hurst and Mrs. Sanders both
wanted the students to know that
Dr. Senter is on call at all times,
not just at his Monday, Wednes
day, and Friday office hours.
“We appreciate suggestions and
constructive criticism,” Mrs, Hurst
stated, “and we would like for girls
to comc to us with their problems.
We would be glad to talk with
them.”
students in every way possible. They
suggested that girls observe office
hours, as cooperation from students
is needed if they are to do their
job well. They both stressed
especially that girls call the in
firmary in cases of nighttime emer
gencies, so that they can meet the
students at the door. The doors are
kept locked after 9:00 p,m. to in
sure the safety of the patients. The
nurses are perfectly willing to open
the doors, but they cannot be there

La Tertulia Club
For the first meeting of La Ter
tulia Spanish Club, the featured
speaker was Marcos Aurelius Bor-
gerlh, of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Mr.
Borgerth, an engineering student at
N. C. State University spoke to the
group in Spanish on his recent visit
home and the changes he observed
in the political and economic life
of his country. He also contrasted
the industrial South with the dry
and arid northlands, which offer
an economic problem to the coun
try. He told also of the differences
between affluent city life, such as
Rio and Sao Paulo with the simpler
rural living. Comparing the interior
of his country lo our West of seven
ty-five years ago, he said the new
capital Brasilia, located in the in
terior, is causing rapid development
of the Amazon basin.
At this meeting Sandra Hobbs
was elected the club president to re
place Jacqueline Chadwick Em
mons who did not return to Mere
dith this year. The other officers
elected last spring are vice presi
dent, Ruth Ann Sloop; Treasurer,
Jeannie Ebelein; Secretary, Judi
Dean.

Girls, if you haven’t
already been to the
State Fair, Mac Josephs
urges you to come in
and select an outfit
suitable for the fun
and excitement of this
event. Ellen Kirby
says that the bell-
bottomed slacks and
‘Poor Boy” sweater
she found at Mac
Josephs were perfect
for the wild rides at
the fair. Choosing
between slacks or wool
bermiulas and knee
socks was difficult for
her though, because
Mac Josephs has such
a wide selection of
styles and colors. Let’s
all ?o to the fair!
