Carolina I Their Jol By KAY RANKIN Staff Writer The word "housemother" has many connotations for the Caro lina coed. To some she is a mother away from home, to others she is a Personal advisor, but to all she is a friend who is ever present when needed. After talking to three of our housemothers, it soon became evi dent that they all had several things in common. Each expressed a deep interest and love for all young people. Too, all three felt that the work was rewarding and above all extremely interesting. Mrs. Dorothy Hammond, hostess of South Tower, got this point across when she said, "There is never a dull moment. I have been here going on four years and have never had two days alike." This year it is her goal to know the girls better since last year she was especially occupied with iron ing out the difficulties of moving into a new dormitory. Mrs. Louise Jones, one of the housemothers at South, said that at the end of a hectic day there was nothing like a student's ap preciation to make her realize again that her job was worthwhile. Last year one of the girls in her dorm expressed her thanks by handing Mrs. Jones a gift for no apparent reason. The note was cr kai with 014 Precisely what thing mind.

She had another experience in the past year that made her feel pleased with her work. One of the coeds came dashing into her room late one night complaining about the noise on the hall. Instantly Mrs. Jones bounded out of bed without her glasses (which are es sential for her vision) and her hair in curlers. When she reached the door a chorus of "Happy Birthday" greeted her. These are two of her fondest memories and recalling them always gives her a special lift. Baby-Sitters, Inc. Mrs. Jones has what her as sociates laughingly call a baby sitting service. She keeps a list of students' names who baby-sit for the young married couples on campus and the professors. This has definitely earned her a place in the hearts of many young mothers. Mrs. Sarah Felton is a new member of the Carolina Commun ity, but she has had previous ex perience as a housemother. She was in charge of 87 boys at a small Methodist college in North Carolina. Mrs. Felton is now an assistant hostess at McClintock. Commenting on the differences in ings Peq,.

As a housemother in a boys' Jormitory, I often felt I was here simply to unlock the doors when they forgot their keys and to keep the entire building from being carried off!" She was especially impressed with the freshman girls in her Jorm whom she described as "the nicest group of girls I have ever met." The first night Mrs. Felton was here there was a timid knock at her door, and a student from Connecticut came in. There was a big tear rolling down her cheek, mnd Mrs. Felton soon discovered the girl had no roommate and felt very lonely. Instantly, arrange ments were made by the new housemother to get a roommate ror the freshman. Thanks to Mrs. Felton the girl is now delighted with college life. These three housemothers felt hat certain qualities were neces 3ary for their line of work. Among these requirements were love. anderstanding and patience. Mrs. Hammond summed her job up well when she said, "I never feel alone-wherever I go I run into one of my girls." A gleam came into her eye as she laughingly added. "You do have to have a iense of humor in this business. however, or you're a dead duck!" n it d original Old Spice.
