To Predominate
The music of Elliot Lawrence, his
piano, and his 20-piece band will
highlight the annual Homecoming
Dance to be presented from 8:30
p.m,. to midnight today 'in the Intra-
mural Building.
Lawrence, a newcomer to the ranks
of top-flight bands, has had ten
years of musical experience. At the
age of 11, he organized his first
band and played over radio stations.
The members of this outfit, the
"Bandbusters," were all under 13.
Played in College
At the University of Pennsylvania,
Lawrence studied music and direct-
ed the school band. His band was
much in demand for college proms,
and after graduation he was chosen
for the position of musical director
of WCAU in Philadelphia.
The "Listen to Lawrence" program
was inaugurated over WCAU in 1945,
and was soon broadcast coast-to-
coast. His band subsequently ap-
peared on the weekly' "Treasury
Bandstand" programs. Rosalyn Pat-
ton and Jack Hunter are the feat-
ured vocalists.
New Top Name
Billboard" gave Lawrence "Odds to
be a new top name in bands before
another year goes by." The band
was voted the third most promising
band of the year by the eighth an-
nual College Music Poll. Lawrence
does much of his own arranging,
and the band often plays his orig-
inal compositions.
Lawrence is noted for the sim-
plicity of his arrangements, which
combine popular styling with a sym-
phonic overtone. "He plays much
on the sweet, smooth side, even late
in the evening," according to the
Billboard article.

Independents
To Be Honored
By Assembly
Assembly Recognition Night, hon-
oring outstanding independent wom-
en, will be held at 7:30 p.m.. Tuesday
in the League Ballroom.
There are still a limited number
of tickets available for independent
women who wish to attend. Accord-
ing to Margaret Thompson, general
chairman, tickets may be purchased
from presidents of the various dormi-
tories and League houses, or at a
booth in the League.
The evening's program has been
planned according to Assembly's an-
nual tradition of recognizing the aca-
demic and activity records of inde-
pendent women. Scholastic honors
to the two women in each class who
have maintained the highest aver-
age during their college work will
be presented by Ira M. Smith, Regis-
trar of the University.
Ellen Hill, president of the League,
will make awards to the two coeds
in each class who have been most.
outstanding in extra-curicular ac-
tivities. Credit for activities is given
on a point basis, depending on the
activity and the number of hours a
woman has worked on the project.
Highlighting the affair will be a
speech to be given by Mrs. Virginia
Chase Perkins, member of the Uni-
versity English Department, who will
discuss "Women in a Changing
World." Mrs. Perkins, a recognized
authoress and lecturer, will trace the
difficulties which women have had
to encounter in order to achieve the
position which they enjoy in the
world today.
Decorations for the event will be
based on the slogan adopted at Fort-
night, "Hop on the Assembly Merry-
Go-Round." Table favors and place-
cards will carry out the carnival
theme, and a miniature merry-go-
round will decorate the speaker's
table.
Tickets for the Black Cat Ball, to

Friday in the Union Ballroom, will

to 500," Bill Haydon, general dance
chairman, announced. Tickets will
be priced at $1.50 with a 50% dis-
count for members of the Veterans

The services of the Blood Bank
were well known and' appreciated
during the war. But now that we
are in our first postwar year, few
people realize what has happened
to the units that were so influential
in saving many lives.
Blood Banks still exist. Now, how-
ever, the units are set up only in
the hospitals for the use of their
patients exclusively. A large Blood
Bank is in operation at University
Hospital.
The blood at University Hos-
pital is contributed first of all by
friends or relatives of the patients
in need of the transfusions, whe-
ther or not their blood type is com-
patible with that of the particular
patient. Their contributions are
divided into four. types: type AB,
A, B, and 0, which are kept in
special containers and placed in
a large refrigerator regulated at
57 degrees Fahrenheit. Through
the use of a special process the
blood may be stored for twenty-
one days.
Often, however, in the case of an
emergency, the blood on hand does
not correspond to the subtype of
the patient needing it. Emergency
operations must be delayed until
the proper variety is acquired. It is
then imperative that the Hospital
depend upon the services of pro-
fessional blood donors.
The Hospital accepts as profes-
sional donors any men over twen-
ty-one, who have undergone the
proper examinations, and as a
result are found to have a rare
form of blood subtype that can
seldom be obtained from the
friends or relatives of the patients.
These donors are then placed on
the Hospital records. When a certahi
type and subtype of blood is required,
the donor whose blood corresponds
is called, and must come to the Hos-
pital within a half-hour. He is com-
pensated for his services at the price
of $17.50 per quart, but each donor
is not asked to contribute more than
once every, two months.
Any man who is interested in
becoming a professional donor may
register for examinations of his
blood and general physical con-
dition from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. every
day and from 8 p.m. to noon on
Saturdays at the Blood Bank at
University Hospital.
In speaking of the work done by
the Blood Bank, Mrs. Norma Sagula,
R.N., supervisor of the Blood Bank,
says, "More than 500 quarts of blood
are required in the Hospital every
month. In order to keep transfus-
ing this much blood, the services of
professional donors are greatly need-
ed."
