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. Try A DAILY Classified 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 banishes all traces of pre-exam blues each May as fraternities, sororities transform Yost Field House into a pandemonium of booths, rides, noise and . fun 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. i a i r "r Use Money Orders And Drafts, Bank Requests Funds brought to Ann Arbor by students should be in a safe and read- ily identifiable form, local bank auth- orities advise. Postal or express money orders or bank drafts are preferred. Personal checks for the exact amount of tui- tion are accepted by the University,j but are not convenient for new stu- dents in paying of other expenses. To facilitate identification and to guard against sharpers, it is advised that new students bring a letter of identification from their home bank along with a specimen of their signa- ture.
