A 22-man University surgical team began a heart trans-
plant late last night in University Hospital. The recipient is
a 49-year old Kalamazoo man, Phillip T. Barnum, who has
been prepared for such an operation since Aug. 8.
The donor for the operation was a 37 year old male,
who died' of a stroke, according to hospital officials. His
family has requested his name remain anonymous.
Barnum had been slowly dying of cardio-myopthy, a
F degeneration of the heart muscle.
I eAlthough the ,hospital refused to officially give out the
names of those on the 22-man operating team, unofficial
sources believe the surgeon heading the team is Dr. Donald
Kahn, a specialist in thoracic--
