She Doesn't Live In A Shoe
But Still Has Plenty To Do
By BARBARA INGRAHAM
"There once was a woman who
lived in a shoe—"
• Of course Mrs. E. R. Granger,
supervisor of dormitories, doesn't
live in a shoe, but with 1200 girls
for whom to make a home there
are times when she wonders just
what to do.
"You might think of my job as
compared to your mother keeping
house on a much larger scale,"
Mrs. Granger explained. "It is a
matter of keeping the building
clean and in good repair, super
vising the workers, replacing fur
nishings and equipment that wear
out, and in short, looking out for
the comfort of the girls. I super..
vise 14 buildings and there are 40
employees in my department."
The greatest problem caused by
the accelerated program, Mrs.
Granger revealed, is the lack of
time between semesters in which
necessary repairs can be accom
plished. At times it has been nec
essary to repair the buildings
while the girls have been living
in them. .Her department has not
been faced with either a man
power shortage or a laundry prob
lem. Curtailed production of civil
ian goods has made it increasingly
difficult to replace furniture cov
erings and other equipment that is
gradually wearing out.
"The work challenges your wits
to keep up with the girls," the dor
mitory supervisor . said with a
smile. "It is impossible to get
ahead of them," she added.
Reminiscing, Mrs. Granger re:
called the time when she asked a
coed why she had pasted stars on
the ceiling of her room at Mac
Hall. "It just added something to
the room and gave me something

The "criminals" are such things as threads Of

In their interesting war work Bell Laboratories'
scientists have been on a new kind of hunt. They
have tracked down different materials for those
now hard to get, found Otheis that would serve in
special conditions, and have detected in captured
equipment the kinds Of material the enemy uses.
These are some examples among. many of the
ways Bell System research is helping to se rve

'An Eye On Yourself'
Streamlines Coeds'
Hair Styles, Grooming
Color combinations, hair styles,*
manicures, and grooming provide
the basis for one of the most un
usual courses on campuses, "An .
Eye on Yourself."
Conducted by Miss Anne Ryan,
graduate assistant in the School of
Home Economics, it is a highly
personalized clinic.
. "Few girls use all of their as
sets," Miss Ryan explained.
"Therefore I feel that by worklng
with them, rather than at them, I
can make them conscious of their
good points and attractive fea-.
tures."
A graduate of, Utah State, Miss
Ryan was prominent in extracur_
ricular activities. She was presi
dent of Associated Women Stu
dents organization, secretary of
student council, vice-president of
a local senior honorary and was
listed in "Who's Who in American
Colleges" for 1943-44. She held
also the unique position of regi
mental sponsor of the ROTC.
"That was mostly to keep up the .
spirit of the unit and to add a little
pep," she, explained.
This same same pep Miss Ryan instills
in the girls who come to her in 223
