Hostesses Have No Problems? By Gwen Taylor Staff Wri t Squeaky doors? Have a prob lem? Need ad-ice? The women students at USC are fortunate in having the hostesses to turn to at all times. The hostesses, who are affec tionately called housemothers, are counselors, confidants, and dis ciplinarians. For the girls the3 are their second mothers, of mothers away from home. With so many girls to look after, the hostesses agreed that there is never a dull moment. Life is also rewarding for these ladies. They not only have regu lar duties to attend to, but also assist in the day to day problems of the students. One such problem occurred when a coed was rushed to go to a party and found her dress to be too small. As a result her housemother, Mrs. Jones of second floor South, was sewing on her dress as the student left for her date. The hostesses welcome their girls to come see favorite tele vision shows. On some nights the girls may be seen watching the television, w o r k i n g crossword puzzles, or just talking to their housemothers. As Mrs. Jones put it, if a girl talks out her problems, sometimes they seem to solve themselves. Sewing, playing bridge, and reading occupy some of the hostesses' time. Although their job is rather confining, they try to have some part in the activities offered by the university. A good many of the hostesses enjoy visit ing their children and grand children around the Columbia area on their days off. Even though they may be grand mothers, these housemothers cer tainly do not spend their days in the rocking chair. Their twenty four hour job requires much understanding, enthusiasm a n d energy. On one occasion a house mother had to muster up all her understainding and tact when a girl came running to her at five in the morning. She was com plaining about an animal in her bed. This animal turned out to be a hamster that a friend had put in the room as a joke. Both Mrs. Meares of South and Mrs. Stephens of Sims have at tended workshops on being house directors. At this workshop Mrs. Meares confirmed her belief that everyone expects a house director never to be tired and never sick. Mrs. Stephens finds her training helpful in helping her oversee the freshmen, transfer, upperclassmen students, and the sorority rooms in Sims. There are three hostesses added to this year's staff. One, Mrs. Preston, came here to be near her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. Walter Hamrick of the coaching staff. A second, Mrs. Houser, used to run a dress and antique shop. She illustrates the interesting backgrounds the hostessses bring to their jobs. Mrs. Fanning in McClintock is the third new hostess. She is finding that work ing with the students is a pleasure because they are so appreciative of the things you do for them. In Wade Hampton Mrs. Skinner is still being amused by the freshmen's reaction to the inter com calling system. 'rhe four freshmen dormitory housemothers are finding the counselors to be a great help to them in explaining rules and helping the girls get accustomed to university life. Being a housemother has its lighter side also. Mrs. Wertz once found a girl out of her room breaking the closed study rules. The coed was so flustered that she could not remember her room num ber and had to ask Mrs. Wertz. There is one event which is still making the hostesses smile. One girl thought her door key would let her in the whole building. She was very much surprised when she came in late and her door key would not open the outside door in South. She had not realized that the key was for her own room and not the building. The housemothers will continue to be women student's friends. They will continue to be this way even though the students forget that opening South's front door at six In the morning rings the bnrglar alarm. 0 0 0 r;~xrd KAPPA DELTA'S PARTY The KD's were kicking it out Friday night at Heises to the music of Donald Davis and his band.
