Since she couldn't sew, Mrs. Whitson took beginner sewing lessons at the YWCA so that she could make the puppets. The pediatric nurses at Baptist Hospital. where the student nurses put on their shows, have begun sewing a complete puppet set for thier own use. Before a student nurse gives a show, she discusses the impending surgery with the physician, the anesthesiologist, the recovery *oom staff, the ICU staff, the floor aprses and the child's family. She finds out the exact procedure to be used and learns the child's development so that she can present the show on his level. Usually shows are given the day before surgery. Mrs. Whitson said that students have to be careful with such at tentive audiences since children may pick up any little mistakes. She told of one student nurse who was giving a puppet show with Mrs. Whitson watching. The student was nervous but deter mined to do everything just right. She had the nurse puppet on her hand while talking to her seven year-old patient. Buy the nurse forgot to take the puppet off her hand when she started to use the tinker toy "Brain-scan machine." When the little boy played the show back to demonstrate his com prehensilon, he placed the nurse on top of the tinker toy machine and said, "Then the nurse climbs up on top of the machine."~ The dean of the USC School of Nursing, Dr. Marjorie Sanderson, in commenting on the program, Park FREE~ I Mrs. Taylor & As: Parking Building Welc ' and Featuring the A-Lik indiv for i Allan J0SHi so the stuIsdt is able to leeh at thee habits 4a1 may have s"ut up.4 regard to se.euIe religious atIvities." enltr MWIs a Place Ot.mlrous as8*el as lighter prsuits.

"Are we going to just build better mousetraps, or build a world in which the most important thing is the individual, where human dignity is respected and virtues like love, forgiveness, redemptiveness and creativeness will become more operative?" he asked. Students often come to him with personal problems. He notes that girls come more often than boys. "With boys I think it is more a question of pride that keeps them away." he explained. Father Watkins sees his job on campus as "an ambassador-at large with portfolio." The future? "We need more competent priests whose vocation it is to teach on the secular level t uniq said, "The nurse use every means possible to ameliorate anxieties even though efforts are not always entirely successful." "Nevertheless," said Dr. San derson, "nurses continue trying to prepare each child, in the most effective way possible, to meet and' cope with the threatening or painful treatments essential for the child's care." Mrs. Whitson said since she and her students began the shows last semester, parents have asked for puppet shows for their children. "Also doctors, including anesthesiologists, have voiced encouragement and interest," she said.

Opportunities for worship, recreation and fellowship ap parently are available in the seven student religious centers on' campus, although many students are unaware of their offerings. I am tired of everbody blasting the church as U It and society has given them a rotten deal," Irather Watkins said, terming this attitude "poor me-ism." "At the Center the students can.play bridge, chat, listen to records. Involve themselves with social concerns in the community, or. he humouously added. "even study." Some of the students at the center are Involved with community projects such as mental hospital work, and tutorial work in the orphanges. Father Watkins also heads discussion groups which offer instruction and worship into the faith and history of the church. "We discuss matters of theology in relation to the social sciences, in hoping to help inform students," Father Watkins said. e progi old boy, according to Mrs. Whit son, could have only a cool cloth to his lips after complicated surgery. He told his nurse "I'm dying for water, but I know I can't have any. My tummy's still asleep." He had learned that from the puppet show. Studies are currently being developed to determine if dif ferences exist in physiological and psychological responses to surgery and hospital procedures - in puppet prepared children and other children, according to Mrs. Whitson.

His statement points up what may be one of the major obstacles 'to center participation: lack of communication. Several students were asked what thethought.A small number said they had participated in ac tivities sponsored by the centers. Others said either they had no time or didn't know much about the centers. While may indicated they were not interested- in the programs which the centers offer, several said they might be in terested if contacted. Some of the students interviewed indicated unfavorable attitudes toward' the centers. "Their programs never have appealed to me," one junior commented. O)ut others expressed favorable impressions of the centers. Junior Iris Hamilton said, "I attend the Wesley Foundation and there religion is approached in a way that makes it very relevant to the issues of today." Many students seemed to have only vague ideas concerning the function and programs of the religious student centers on campus. Jewish, Episcopalian, Methodist and Presbyterian -- were asked about the nature of ther respective organizations. am M.E.

Ali four religious groups are involved -in community social Work. Methodist, Episcopalian, and Presbyterian students are in volved in service projects at the S.C. State Hospital. Afour groups are involved in tutorial programs. Methodist members lead worship services at the prerelease center of the S.C. Department of Correc tions. To Dasher, the Lutheran Center is not confined to the structure itself, but is more embracing. "The center is people; and what it means for one it may not mean for another.. here there are op portunities for worship, service, fellowship and, hopefully, com munity." "The Lutheran Center has many uses," accoraing to one junior coed. "Different people use if for different things at different times and that's what the center is for to meet these needs."

So many think of religion of church as an institution and not "a stance of life," he pointed out. The student sees hypocrisy in the church and this "turns him ott." ..............
