By KATIE WILCOX O The University often relies on gifts from generous alumni and friends for additions to the ( medical students, or toys for the children at Mott Children's Hospital. " " But sometimes gifts arrive that are a little out of U n i m oI the ordinary -interesting, even amusing. V I ONCE THE medical school was offered a com- Hsplete collection of snails for research. But accor- ding to Janet Maher of the hospital's financial development office, the offer was declined. "I presume the snails are either languishing somewhere or were offered to another school," Maher said. The fate of the rejected snails is left to the imagination. The fate of another rejected gift is more certain. The complete contents of a doctor's office from teh 1850s now reposes at Cobblestone Farm, a local historical farm house and museum. The antiques include an apothecary cabinet, a desk, books, an amputation kit, mortar and pestle, and a diploma. OFFERS OF medical and University of Michigan memorabilia are common when people clean out their closets and attics, according to Maher. "They are looking for a home for what they regard as interesting memorabilia and they con- sider the medical school or hospital the ap- propriate place," she said. Doctors gowns from the last century is one common gift idea that is rather uncommon. ANOTHER PLACE at the University that receives the attic and closet "treasures" is the Theatre Department. Costumes and props are donated from interested and good-willed patrons. "We do take unusual things," said Opal Cameron-Bailey of the Professional Theatre See 'U,' Page 4 }r Art Fair Wishy- Washy Lunch Time Look for a morning of sunshine but a A recap of the Big Ten football lunch it is finally over. cloudy afternoon with highs in the low in'Chicago.
