'Coming Out Party' Contracts
Young, Revised Band; Features
Singers Fran Snyder, Kay Aller
Helping the class of 1945 to make
its official debut, Red Norvo will
bring his band to Michigan for the
first time this year to play at the
annual Frosh Frolic, which will be
held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday,
March 13, in the main ballroom of
the Union.
The sale of tickets for the dance
will begin at noon Tuesday at the
main desk of the Union, chairman
Henry Cohen, '45E, has announced,
and it will continue until noon Sat-
urday. The sale will be restricted to
freshmen this week and if any tickets
remain, they will be on general sale
next week.
Norvo Plays Xylophone
The announcement of the selec-
tion of Norvo's band to play at the
freshmen's "coming out party" was
made by the central committee,
headed by Stephen Selby, '45E, after
consideration of such bands as those
of Sonny Dunham, Andy Kirk and
Mitchell Ayres.I
Norvo, long recognized as one of
the best xylophonists in the business,
organized his own 14-piece band in
1935, following several years as a
featured instrumentalist with Paul
Whiteman's orchestra. Since that
year he has revised his band three
times.
According to "Metronome," the'
swing magazine, Norvo's revised en-
senible is one "headed toward the
toff." It goes on to say that his or-
chestra at the Bpe Gardens in Ar-
monk, N. Y., is drawing plenty of
enthusiastic comments with the ar-
rangements and Red's xylophone is]
receiving special plaudits."]
Recent Engagements Listed 7
Norvo will bring his band here
from an extended engagement at the
Lg Cabin in Armonk, N. Y. The
band has played at the Pennsylvania,
Astor and Commodore hotels in New
York City as well as at the Famous
Door there. It has also been featured]
at the Meadowbrook Club in Cedar
Grove, N. J.
The Benjamin Franklin Hotel in1
Philadelphia, the Blackhawk Res-'
taurant in Chicago, the Sothland]

Blood Transfusions Help Carry
Soldiers Through Shock Period

By PHYLLIS PRESENT
Blood may mean life to the dying
soldier and much of the success of
our military battles depends actually
upon the ability of the war hospitals
to keep supplied with blood plasma.
Thousands of soldiers who are not
gravely wounded die from shock. It
has been found that most of them
can be saved by sustaining them
through the shock period by blood
transfusion.
The history of this important life-
saving device is one of many years
of experimentation to really make
blood transfusion useful and satis-
factory. The first successful trans-
fusion was performed in 1667 by
Jean Baptiste Denis, a physician to
Louis XIV, by introducing blood from
a lamb into the veins of a Parisian
boy.
Experimentation Discontinued
Though that transfusion was suc-
cessful, many people died when com-
plications occurred in later trans-
fusions, and churches and govern-
ments began to Oondemn them as
illegal. For more thanda century,
experimentation was discontinued
until in 1834 John Blundell proved
that animal blood was not suitable
for humans. Transfusion from hu-
man to human came back into use,
but complications continued to arise
in certain cases.
Finally, in 1900, Karl Landsteiner,
an Austrian scientist, discovered that
human blood consisted of four dis-
tinct kinds and that they could notI
be mixed without complications and
consequently death. Much experi-
mentation was then carried on in
attempting to find efficient methods
of performing transfusions. Finally,
indirect transfusion was found to be
possible. Blood was able to be taken
from the donor into a container in
one room, and then injected into
the patient in another room.
Blood Volunteered
This brought about the offering of
blood for payment by people wanting
ready money. One pint (500 c.c.) of
blood was worth about $50. High
physical standards were, of course,
enforced, and the donor had to re-
main off the active list for a period
of one week for every 100 c.c. of
blood given. Medical students be-
came frequent donors.
Much care must be taken in the
typing of blood, and very few deaths
are caused today by mistakes of
that kind. The.need for stored blood
during World War I is responsible
for the development of blood banks.
These are hospitals in which blood

is stored in typed bottles for no more
than 60 days.
During and since the last war,
many more livesl have been saved.
because due to the blood banks, the
right blood is always immediately
available and no time need be wasted
in searching for relatives or other
donors and typing their blood. The
earliest real blood bank was estab-
lished in Cook County Hospital in
Chicago on March 16, 1937.
Still this meant that the patient's
blood had to be typed, and also often
the blood bank might be out of the
necessary type of blood needed. Thus,
recently when fluid blood plasma (a
colorless thick liquid) was discovered
to be as good as whole blood, a great
step forward was made in the per-
fection of blood transfusion.
Plasma Is Used
Blood plasma is blood to which an
agent has been added to prevent
clotting and from which red blood
cells have been removed by centri-
fuging as cream is evaporated from
milk). The advantage of blood plas-
ma is that it may be used on anyone
without typing, and secondly, it is
vital to war, because it can be trans-
ported by air, land, or sea without
being injured. Lastly, it can be safely
stored for long periods.
Experiment is now going on to
perfect a dried, powdered blood plas-
ma which can be converted to the
fluid plasma by merely adding sterile
water. There would be added advan-
tage in this, and it would be particu-
larly useful during wartime because
of facilitated transportation and in-
creased durability.
Collection Centers Started
The American Red Cross an-
nounced in February, 1941, its cam-
paign for blood donors for treat-
ment of English and possible future
American war victims. Four centers
were set up in the United States for
the collection of this blood plasma,
many bottles of which were sent to
England. Those centers were Bryn
Mawr Hospital, University of Michi-
gan Hospital, Vanderbilt Hospital,
and University of Iowa Hospital.
The Blood Transfusion Betterment
Association of New York City worked
with the Red Cross in the first drive
to send blood to England. Now, since
the United States has entered the
conflict, thousands more donors are
needed and these four hospital cen-
ters with their technicians and local
doctors are now working to fulfill
the American Red Cross Blood Dona-
tion quota.
