COEDS BECOME NURSES' AIDES: Red Cross certificates authorizing a class of 35 nurses' aides - the first University class - to join the ranks of women who are relieving the nursing shortage in Washtenaw county's hospitals, clinics and health services, as one of their contributions to the war effort, were given out at graduation exercises yesterday afternoon in North Hall. Mrs. Jessie E. Coller, chairman of volunteer services, presented the certificates, which qualify their holders to assist doctors and nurses and act in emergency disaster relief capacities. Two more classes will begin Feb. 8, and women interested in offering their services may register by Monday at the Civilian Defense Volunteer Office in the Armory.
