Pajama-Clad
BY BARRETT
"We raise our paws and whis-kers
. . ."
These became familiar words on
campus last Thursday, as fresh-men
rats wandered here and there
under the command of the upper-classmen
who had been long
awaiting this day of fun at the
expense of the newcomers to
Woman's College.
Clad In skirts with pajamas
under them, and carrying pillow-cases,
to be thrown over their
heads In case of "Air Raid"', the
freshmen meandered from one up-perclassmen
dorm to another In
search of rooms to clean, errands
to run. upperclassmen to willing-ly
serve.
Upperclassmen. always willing
to oblige, had. for many weeks
previous, allowed their rooms to
become cluttered with shoes that
needed polishing, floors that need-ed
sweeping, mopping and waxing,
and closets that needed cleaning.
The fact that freshmen hear all
was exemplified by the enormous
rats ears protruding from either
side of their heads. The fact that
freshmen are never at a loss for
something to say was proved by
their Incessant squeaking.
It was also quite gratifying to
see many freshmen asking upper-ftfff^'

elders.
One of the most welcome sights
took place in front of Mclver
Building early In the morning. Sev-eral
rats, having realized the real
need displayed here, armed them-selves
with toothbrushes and vig-orously
undertook to Insure that
the statue of Mclver would not
risk offending. The Green Is gone,
or at least one layer of It Is.
The Soda 8hop was the scene
of more frivolity than usual as
the helpful rats scurried back and
forth as curb boys for the upper-classmen.
From some of the en-tertainment
furnished there, sing-ing-
waiters might be a more ap-propriate
term.
The annual rat court was held
at 1:30 p. m. In front of the
Science Building, after all fresh-men
had enjoyed a "ratty meal"
in the dining hall.
There was a brighter side how-ever,
for after the rigor involved
in obeying all upperclassmen wish-es
the rats were entertained at
a party given Thursday night by
the members of the sophomore
class.

WC Library
Selection of
An extensive exhibition of con-temporary
"New England Crafts"
opened on November 12. 1956
at the Library of the Woman's
College where It will continue
through November 21.
For the first time since 1943.
the Worcester Art Museum, in co-operation
with the Junior League
of Worcester, and the Craft Cen-ter
undertook, in October and No-vember
of 1955. to survey the
progress which had been made in
recent years by craftsmen living
and working In New England. A
selection of more than 225 objects
for this show were made by Miss
Louisa Dresser. Curator of the
Museum, and representatives from
each of the collaborating Insti-tutions.
This selection Is now be-ing
circulated among U. 8. and
Canadian museums by the Smith-sonian
Institution Traveling Ex-hibition
Service.
During the years since the Sec-ond
World War. as In colonial
times, artist-craftsmen have set-tled
in New England in consider-able
numbers. A large proportion
of those represented In this ex-hibition
have come from other
parts of the United States, and. In
some case*, from abroad. In set-tling
there, they have both en-riched
and been enriched by the
long tradition of handlerafU In

bottle opener, a wall-hanging
for the kitchen, rugs,
table mats and napkins, silver
tableware, and Imaginative Jewel-ry
designs, along with vases,
bowls, coffee sets, and other ob-jects
of everyday use.
Surveying the exhibition as a
whole, It Is Interesting to note thai
the designs reflect much that Is
going on today In the field of
painting and sculpture. There Is
an effort on the part of the crafts-man
to produce objects which can
find a place In contemporary dec.
oratlve schemes. In many cases.
Individual pieces can rank as
works of art In themselves. As a
whole, the exhibition Illustrates
how widespread and deep-rooled,
vigorous yet rather conservative.
Is the contemporary craft move-ment
in New England.

Second Polio Vaccines
A plan to establish an experi-mental
nursing school at Woman's
College cooperative with the Cone
Memorial Hospital was approved
unanimously yesterday by the Uni-versity
of North Carolina trustees
executive committee.
Meeting in Gov. Luther Hodges'
office, the group approved the
plan, in which the hospital trus-tees
offered to underwrite ex-penses
up to $100,000 for the op-eration
of the school.
The announcement of the com-mittee's
action came from Dr. W.
W. Plerson. Acting Chancellor of
Woman's College on his return
from the Raleigh meeting. He sub-mitted
a four-page report advo-cating
the experiment.
Members expressed much con-fidence
and hope that the program
would succeed. Chancellor Pier-son
said.
The faculty committee on the
nursing program Is comprised of
Dr, Collins. Dean Prall. Miss Flor-ence
Shaeffer, Miss Helen Burns.
Dean Mereb Mossman.
The nursing program would
eliminate the five-year plan now
In use. Instead of four years of
college with a year of nurses'
training, the program would spon-sor
the first two years of college
Including nursing courses plus
clinical work In Cone Hospital.
In the third year, the trainees
would take a year of Internship
at Cone Hospital. The college
would give transportation as they
do for the practice teachers to and
from the hospital. One obvious
advantage of the program is that
It will provide a shorter and tight-er
education for aspirant nurses,
giving them a well-rounded liberal
arta background along with the
courses and training necessary for
a Registered Nurse certificate.
