by the University for which the stu-
dent is charged, there are the fol-
lowing: extra nursing, some Univer-
sity Hospital care, dental X-rays,
physician room calls, non-emergency
operations, health appliances and re-
pair and purchase of eye glasses at
reduced rates. The charge for these
services is made only to defray ex-
penses to the University.
The Health Service has a well-
equipper pharmacy where prescrip-
tions are filled by order of a Health
Service physician, a physio-therapy
department, optical and X-ray fa-
cilities, allergy, and sensitization clin-
ics and other functions which enable
the Health Service to give the student
complete medical attention.
Expenses of the Health Service
unit are cared for by the University
budget, and the use of its facilities is
paid for by the student as part of his
tuition.
Student Loans
Are Increased
More Than 1,400 Receive
Grants Of_$160,000
Student loans took a decided jump
this year with 232 more students re-
ceiving $28,350.48 more in loans than
in 1937-38, Boyd C. Stevens, Univer-
sity, cashier, announced recently.
The total number of individuals re-
ceiving grants, repayable at the end
of a specified number of years,
reached a peak of 1410, while the
total sum loaned amounted to $163,-
227.10.
University officials attribute the
increased number of students apply-
ing for aid to the recession of late
1937 which cut down the usual num-
ber of summer jobs last year, thus
depriving many students of expected
revenue.
Many students were granted two or
three loans to tide them through the
year. This is manifest in the fact
that 2401 loans were granted; almost
two for every student benefited. At
the present time, there are 3,339 such
loans outstanding.
The amount repaid on principal
this year aggregated $136,898.46,
while $10,036.45 was received in in-
terest payments.
Upper classmen, graduate and pro-
fessional students receive preference
in the matter of loans. The only
prerequisite for them is a "C" scho-
lastic average. Freshmen are barred
entirely.

Above is shown Sigma Chi Fraternity's wiiming float in the 1939
Michigras Parade. Entitled "The Inferno," the float depicted tortured
souls in purgatory as an advertisement of the fraternity's "House of
Horrors" at the Michigras.
Loop-o-planes, ferris wheels, Fol-
lies Beserk, an Esqgire Roof for danc-
ing. peanuts, popcorn, the dinnof
barkers, milling crowds-all these
go to make up Michigras, Michigan's
mammoth carnival which dominates
the campus each spring.
Founded three years ago to raise
funds for a women's swimming pool
and the band's trip to the Yale game
last fall, Michigras promises to be-
come a campus tradition. Hilarity

pandemonium of booths, rides, noise

honor societies and independents
Huge crowds turned out last year
to se a half-mile parade that herald-
ed the opening of the fair. Led by
the Varsity Band, the parade includ-
ed 45 floats most of which ballyhooed
sideshow attractions at the Field
House.
More than 8,000 students turned
out for the show Friday and Sat-
urday nights. There were more than
50 booths and prizes went to those
operated by Phi Sigma Kappa and
Kappa Alpha Theta.
