Women who are interested in con- tributing should go to the Women's Blood Bank in the League and reg- ister for an appointment. Those be- tween the ages of 18 and 20 must -present a statement of parent's con- sent. A student with any complaint is advised to report to the Health Service and get herself in good phys- ieal condition before signing up at the Blood Bank. Dr. Bell stressed the fact that each time the Mobile Unit comes from Detroit it should leave Ann Arbor with 175 pints of blood. To get this 175 pints of blood requires about 200 -appointments. If there are many rejections, just that must plasma has been lost to the fighting men, so every effort should be made to meet the Red Cross requirements. Many Groups Established 'During the last year, the Univer- sity Health Service has attempted to inform the campus in general of the requirements for blood donation. By so doing it aspired to set up a large group of University women as periodic blood donors to give blood about every four months. A rela- tively large group of blood donors has already been established and more are being added regularly. "However,bthis plan of education is now to be extended by placingI responsibility on the individual," Dr. Bell stated, "as each girl should know by this time how to handle herself as a blood donor." The orig- inal group of women was reviewed by medical advisers and an effort was made to put the women in good physical condition. The medical advisers reviewed the Jordan Will Hold 'Plantation Party' "A-Plantation Party" is the theme of Jordan Hall's party for the 5978th Division of the Air Corps, the 1655th Engineers Division, and the 1694#h Service Unit to be held Saturday from 2-5:30.
