Quad councils work for better communication Two students enjoy Friday refreshments at a beer event sponsored by the East Quad, above. In addition to improving living conditions in the dorms and creat- ing a relaxed, personal atmosphere, promoting unity between the East and West quads was an important goal sought by both dormitory quad councils. To achieve this goal, both councils established committees to facilitate communication between the groups. The councils were composed of student governors and lieutenant governors elected by each dormi- torv wing. To deal with student complaints and problems arising within the dorms, the student Judiciary Board, as well as committees for food, cleaning, laundry and concessions services, were established. Events committees for the quads planned dances, TGIF ' s and Miller j and Budweiser contests to raise money for the quad. The West Quad council includes Kiewit and Gallagher halls. Officers included Arts junior Paul Kaminski, president; Arts junior Julie Spell- man, vice-president; Arts junior Julie Zinck, secretary; and Business junior John Monroe, treasurer. The East Quad council represents Swanson, Deglman and Sheridan i halls. Quad officers were Arts I senior Curtis Mock, president; Arts I junior Joe Miller, vice-president; I Arts sophomore Pepito Angel, sec- ; retary; and Arts sophomore Jim j Hanosh, treasurer.

Dorm Nurses sacrifice sleep to treat cuts, colds University Dorm Nurses who provide immediate medical care to students on campus are Rhonda Thompson and Carol Troll in Swanson and Celeste Schlader in Kiewit, below. My only complaint is that I wish the service was used more. Nursing senior Rhonda Thomp- son ' s above complaint was echoed by Nursing senior Celeste Schlader who added, Many people on campus don ' t know about us. We would like for people to know we ' re available. Schlader and Thompson, along with Nursing senior Carol Troll, worked during the past year as dorm nurses. The function of the dorm nurses is to provide medical service for students when the student health center is closed. Schlader said the nurses rotated shifts during the week so that at least one nurse was on duty at all times other than the health center ' s regular hours — 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Each nurse carried an electronic beeper to alert them whenever they couldn ' t be located in their rooms. Schlader said the nurses usually treated cuts or illnesses and gave medical advice. For instance, if someone was sick with a cold, we could call a doc- tor and get a prescription to hold the student over until the student could see a doctor, she said. Troll said she felt the service is a necessary one. Many students go to the emergency room at St. Joseph ' s for services which we pro- vide free of charge in the dorms, she said. Not only is it expensive to go to the emergency room, but it is a mis- utilization of emergency services when students go in for minor first aid services. Troll said she applied for the posi- tion because of the learning experi- ence involved. You are on your own as a dorm nurse, she said. We have to per- form the initial assessment and pro- vide the treatment. This is impor- tant because nursing is tending more toward specialization, as is medicine. Nurses must know how to diagnose and provide profes- sional medical care and emergency treatment. Thompson, however, pointed out some of the drawbacks to the posi- tion. She said she sometimes had trouble getting sleep the nights she was on call. I was also called several times while in the shower, she said. That ' s a real pain! 22 — after the classes
