Presidents of
Houses Meet
omorrow
Plans for University Red Cross
Drive To Be Outlined at
Meeting To Be Held at League
There will be a house presidents'
meeting at 5 p.m. tomorrow in the
Grand Rapids Room at the League,
at which time plans for the Univer-
sity women's Red Cross drive which
opened yesterday wil be explained,
and steps toward building up the
$3,500 quota set for University wo-
men will be taken, according to Mar-
jorie Hall, '45, chairman of the drive.
Principal speaker at the meeting,
Mrs. Harold Malin of the Ann Arbor
Red Cross, will relate several instan-
ces in which the Red Cross has been
the only means of getting communi-
cations and provisions to and from
prisoners of war captured by the
Germans and the Japanese.
"Last year the quota for Univer-
sity women was set at $2,500, but the
national emergency caused head-
quarters to raise the current quota
by $1,000, thus necessitating contri-
butions from every woman on cam-
pus," Miss Hall explained. "The goal
is a one dollar membership fee from
every University coed, and houses
have been assigned specific quotas to
meet."
Working with Miss Hall on the
central committee are Pat Coulter,
'45, sororities; Marcia Sharpe, '45,
publicity; Claire Macauley, '46, and
Frances Goldberg, '46, league houses;
Marjorie Crumpacker, '46, dormitor-
ies, and Dorothy Servis, '45, accoun-
tant.
Quota Is Filled
y Blood Banke
"University women have responded
to a marvelous degree and again we
have had no trouble in filling our
quota," Josephine Fitzpatrick, chair -
man of the Women's Blood Bank,
commented yesterday.
The Blood Bank will be held from
12:30 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. tomororw and
Friday at the Women's Athletic Buil-
ding. Registration has been taking
place in the League for the last two
weeks.
Women who are under "21 must
have their parents sign a Red Cross'
release slip before they can be eligible
to donate blood. This slip must be
presented at the Blood Bank.
The Mobile Unit of the Red Cross
comes to Ann Arbor from Detroit.
It is a truck which carries all the
essential equipment such as cots,
tables and medical supplies. It is
manned by doctors and nurses,
trained especially for this type of
work. The traveling Blood Bank en-
ables the service to visit many morel
places than would be possible other-
wise.
INVEST IN VICTORYf

Volunteers May
Apply Now for
Hospital Posts
"Coeds who wish to volunteer for
work at University or St. Joseph's
Hospital may go directly to either of
the hospitals and be assigned to a
post or they may sign up at the soph
project booth in the lobby of the
League," Carol Evans, chairman of
soph project, said yesterday.
"It is very important that volun-
teers report for duty as soon as pos-
sible," Miss Evans said. "Both hos-
pitals are suffering from a labor
shortage and depend tremendously
upon the aid of volunteers."
University Hospital volunteers must
wear black, navy, or white skirts,
white blouses and hose. Uniform
jackets are furnished. St. Joseph's
volunteers do not wear uniforms but
are asked to wear light blouses.
Miss Evans also added that volun-

the third floor. Those at St. Joseph'«:

floor.

tween 2x2 and 4x4 inch gauze dress-
ings to work with.

Mitchell and the Michibomber~~
Editor's Note: Mitcheli Bomber is the spirit of the Michibomber Carnival,
given by Bomber Scholarship at, 8:30 p.m. Saturday in Barbour-Waterman
cymasiums. The following is an adventure of Mitchell at the carnival.
Mitchell with Freddy and Freddy with him,
Took off for the ceiling of Waterman Gym.
They wanted to land there and look down below
And watch the Michibomber, the carnival show.
They soared with top .speed their motors could yield,
'Til Mitchell felt tears coming to his windshield.
He had just become doubtful of standing the strain,
When Freddy spun downward with great yelps of pain!
Oh, bother, squeaked Fred as he bounced off a rafter.
Oh, horrors, he shrieked as he swirled way down after.
I guess it's, he wailed as an arrow grazed his wing,
It would be, he railed as he ducked a rubber ring,
I must have, he cried as he bobbed around a nail,

There, there, said Mick. Don't worry any longer.
Now, now said Mick, You look a little pale!
Although I've searched this building with no luck whatsoever,
That object you have landed on appears to be your tail!
Eureka! cried Freddy as he hobbled after Mitchell
To a bottle labeled Glue in letters bright and red.
Quite simple, said Mitchell as he gently glued Fred's tail on.
Everything's quite simple if you only use your head.
Congratulations, said the Barker, as he handed Mick a package.
You receive a lovely prize for FITTING THE TAIL ON FRED!
