University staff. It will also make
possible the removal of University
Hall, condemned as a fire hazard for
25 years.

will necessitate the razing of the
Colonade restaurant, Staebler-Kempf
service station, Morris Hall, Army
headquarters, and residences back
of the service station, and MorrisHall.

stories high, the end sections, four.
Construction will begin when all
plans are completed and approved
and when the necessary priorities
have been obtained.
Student Services

mail section, vaults, and a lounge and
lunch room for employees will be
included in the basement. The first
floor will be devoted entirely to stu-
dent services. To the left of the
central lobby will be the offices of
the Dean of Students and of the
Registrar. The offices of the Dean
of Women, the Cashier and residence
halls will be to the right.

sity Relations, Assistant to the Pres-
ident, Regents' rooms and two con-
ference rooms.
Offices in North Wing
The north or right wing will house
business offices including the Vice-
president for Business, Secretary,
Controller, and the investment, pur-
chasing, accounting, payroll and rec-
ords offices.
SThe Bureau of Appointments,
Personnel, Religious Counseling, News
Service, Secretarial Service, Summer
Session, Bureau of Cooperation,
Alumni Relations and University

division, radio music, visual educa-
tion, state forensic league and ad-
ministrative offices of the service.

the Registrar's office will be in the

DETROIT, June 13--Eighty per
cent of the several million pounds of
clothing collected during the United
Nations' relief drive in April will
have been shipped out of Detroit by
July 1, Prentiss M. Brown, collection
committee chairman, said tonight.

completion, Brown stated. Two eight-
hour shifts are operating at the ware-

Brown said, "we are aware that
there has been some petty thievery.
But to our knowledge it has been
just that--petty." lie added that
the warehouse is now guarded 24.

No Shipping Shortage
The chairman said he erred in a
previous statement in which he said

WASHINGTON, June 13 -Correc -
ing itself, OPA today announced that
the three tenths of a cent a gallon
allowance granted tank wagon sell-
ers of petroleum products in Michi-
gan may be added to prices only on
sales of fuel and heating oils.
OPA said its earlier announcement
on tank wagon pricing inadvertently
listed gasoline as one of the products
on which the additional charge could
be made.

The next three years were spent
in twelve German prison camps. The
greater part of his internment was
at the Muhlberg prison camp where
he remained 20 months.
"We were allowed one loaf of black
bread for ten men, a plate of thin#
soup, five potatoes, one pat' of mar-
garine, and a spoonful of .f:ugar.",
Dunnond related. "But, of course, we
did get Red Cross boxes, and conse-
quently most of us only lost 20 to,
25 pounds.
"It made us angry when we heard
wihat the German prisoners were be-
ing fed in the States," Dumond add-
er1. "Although they starved us, we
saw plenty of food outside of the
cities."
F/O Dumond is to report to Tor-
onto on July 24 where he hopes to
receive his medical discharge. He
glans to take a vacation during the
surnirier.and enroll in the University
in the fall.

working on germ cultures.
"Opening one of the sterile dishes
I was working with," he said, "I no-
ticed that the bacteria in it were dy-
ing. I immediately dropped my other
work and began to investigate." He
described in detail the tests that the
penicillin was put through.
Cautioning against the misuse that
comes when the drug is on market for
everyone's use, Sir Alexander said
that cases should be diagnosed to de-
termine the value of penicillin treat-
ment so that it will not be wasted
on bacteria insensitive to it.
He credited the United States with
developing its mass production. In
Great Britain and Russia the drug
has not been produced in sufficient
quantity for general use, he said, al-
though it has gone with medical units
into every country where Allied ar-
mies have been.

Dr. Gaimnitz
Gives Advice To
Rural Schools
By The Associated Press
MT. PLEASANT, Mich., June 13-
Rural schools must improve their
public relations if they intend to
prevent all their competent teach-
ers from being lured into higher
paying city jobs, in the opinion of
Dr. Walter H. Gaumnitz, senior spe-
cialist in charge of rural education
for the Federal Office of Education.
Dr. Gaumnitz will head a confer-
ence of rural educators selected from
all parts of the nation who will meet'
in Detroit June 14-16 to complete 4
book on public relations for rural
schools. He is visiting here with Dr.
M. L. Smith, head of the rural edu-
cation department of Central Michi-
gan College.
"The real faults of rural educa-
tion," he said, "lie in the fact that
we never encourage the four-year
students to accept rural school jobs,
but ship them off to the cities where
they can get more money."
