Freshman Coeds To Carry On
WVithou t MVen a t Frosh Frolic

Junior Project
Offers Many,
Varied Positions
Efficiency and originality are the
prime requisites for positions on the
central committee of Junior Girls
Project, for which any sophomore
coed may petition today through Fri-
day in the Undergraduate Office of
the League.
The juniors have converted their
class project to taking its place in
the war effort; its main object is the
sale of war bonds and stamps to Un-
iversity students and members of
the staff. The committee includes a
chairman, assistant chairman, sec-
retary, treasurer and publicity, post-
er, booth, sorority, dormitory, league
house and skits and songs chairmen.
Petition Blanks Available
Petition blanks, which must be fill-
ed out in ink, are available in the
Undergraduate Office. The Council
requires applicants to state fully
their plans for the positions desired,
including suggestions for procedure.
Posters in the League further describe
the positions open and contain other
information relative to the petition-
ing.
House chairmen-for dormitories,
sororities and league houses-have
difficult jobs; efficiency aid hardj
work are needed to keep sales mov-
ing. The same is true of the booths
chairmen.
No Hard, Fast Rules
The chairman of skits and songs
actually "makes" her own work, for
there are no hard and fast rules at-
tached to the position, and the title
allows almost any type of entertain-
ment.
Publicity is another position which
can involve a variety of activities:
writing, drawing, all types of stunts.
This year general publicity and post-
ers will have separate heads.
In addition to its year-around proj-
ect, in the spring JGP gives some
type of entertainment in honor of
the senior class. Before the war
the juniors gave a junior-senior stunt
night and Junior Girls Play, but in
the last two years wartime restric-
tions and the demands of other war
work have cut the project to one
function only.

Blood Donors
May Register
For Apri Bank
One hundred pints of blood will
fill the University's quota for the
Red Cross Blood Bank when the
Mobile Unit arrives to take dona-
tions April 13 and 14, according to
Jo Fitzpatrick, '44, chairman of the
Women's Blood Bank of the League,
who urged students to register as
donors from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. tomor-
row and Friday in the Undergraduate
Office of the League.
Previous Response Excellent
Response to previous appeals has
been excellent, the quota has been
fi sled and exceeded,Miss Fitzpat-
rick said, and expressed the convic-
tion that the students would make
the April Blood Bank equally suc-
cessful.
The minimum age for donors is 18,
and those under 21 must secure par-
ental permission before registering.
Volunteers must weigh at least 110
pounds. An interval of two months
is. required between any two dona-
tions from a single individual, and
three months following the third do-
nation.
Unit Comes Monthly
The Mobile Unit comes to Ann
Arbor once a month. The Unit's
stay is brief, because the blood must
be returned to the Detroit base for
processing before the blood is made
useless. For that reason the Mobile
Unit cannot travel more than 40
miles from its home base.
In Detroit, the blood -is reduced to
plasma, converted to powder form,
and transported in cartons to field
hospitals. On the fronts it is mixed
with distilled water and used for
transfusions.,
USO Bridge Results
First place winners in the USO
bridge tournament, held every Sun-

'47 will carry on without the fresh-
man men at the annual Frosh Frolic
which is to be held from 8 p.m. to
10 p.m. Friday in Waterman Gym-
nasium.
The lack of men promises to have
no serious effect upon the big time
anticipated, according to Estelle
Klein, '47, chairman of the Freshman
Project. Chip, the Squirrel, mascot
of the '47 Corps, joins Miss Klein in
predicting an evening of . fun and
frolic for the freshman women.
Skits Will Be Given
Included in the evening's program
will be songs, eostumnes and skits.
The skits wfll begiven by the fresh-
man women, who have been divided
into zones according to the location
of their houses. Clever costumes,
reflecting the wearer's originality,
will be worn.
The Women's War Council will act
as the judges of the skits and will
award the prizes. Prizes are to be
given for the best skits and to the

zones which have perfect attendance
at the Frolic.

Marie D. Hartwig of the Physical
Education Department are both
