That look is an everyday occurrence at the Galen's Children's Workshop in University Hospital. There hospitalized youngsters are provided with not only toys, but books, records, games and arts and crafts projects to pass long hours of confinement. R, * * * THE WORKSHOP, located on the ninth floor of 'U' Hospital, is Raiders Hit Kalamazoo Industries 300 Smash into Struck Plants KALAMAZOO, Mich - OP) - A band of 300 raiders invaded two struck factories early yesterday, overturned and burned vehicles, beat up workmen and smashed equipment. Michigan's top-ranking police officer said the speed and preci- sion with which the military-style foray was carried out hinted of "a possible Communist tinge." * * *t AFTER a flying trip to the scene with Governor Kim Sigler, state police commissioner Donald S. Leonard told newsmen the pos- sible Communist angle would not be overlooked in a widespread in- vestigation. Law enforcement agencies in Michigan and neighboring states threw all their resources into the hunt for members of the auto-borne raiding party which struck and disappeared shortly after dawn. Gov. Sigler, other state officials and Kalamazoo police chief How- ard Hoyt blamed "union goons" for the sudden, forceful assault. Sigler demanded a one-man grand jury to investigate the invasion. Arrangements were rushed so that such a jury could start its inquiry tomorrow. THERE WAS no direct com- ment from the CIO United Steel Workers, who have been on strike at the two plants of the Shakes- peare companies since Sept. 7 in a demand for contract changes. However, Glenn E. Sigman, the union's international repre- sentative directing the strike, accused the company of "m- porting outside strikebreakers." He declined comment on con- missioner Leonard's statements. He did not indicate, however, whether the raid was in retalia- tion for the alleged strike-break- ing maneuver.

'U' Asks for Huge Expansion Funds Asks State for $8 Million Outlay To Construct Four New Buildings Another vast expansion program will get underway at the Univer- sity next year if a request for necessary funds is approved by the State Legislature. The University has asked the state for more than eight million dollars to begin construction of four new buildings. And another half million dollars has been requested to cover costs of drawing up plans for an additional three buildings. THE EXPANSION PROGRAM was revealed in the University's annual budget request submitted to state officials yesterday. The en- tire request also included an amount of $12,500,000 for normal opera- tion expenses. This operating expense is nearly three million dollars greater than the money spent this year for operations. The increase has been laid to continued soaring costs and high enrollment. The proposed new buildings are part of the long range post-war expansion program first submitted to the legislature in 1946. * * * * AT THAT TIME funds were allowed for construction of the Ad- ministration, Chemistry, Engineering, Business Administration, Food Service and Dormitory buildings. With these units virtually completed, the University now has asked for funds to start construction of an addition to Literary College classrooms, an addition to the General Library, an addi-' tion to the heating plant and a new motor vehicle service building. The new L. S. and A. classrooms would be in the form of an addi- tion to Angell Hall. Tentative plans call for the razing of old Univer- sity Hall and its wings to make room for the Angell Hall 'addition which-is slated to cost $3,750,000. THE LIBRARY ADDITION, to be built at a cost of $3,500,000, would be located in the rear of the present structure. The old Physics building would be pulled down to make room for the library addi- tion. VAL JOHNSON ... new senior president * "' * Val Johnson Gets Sentor Pres idency By HAROLD JACKSON Val Johnson, varsity track star, is president of the Senior Class of the literary college today by virtue of his 621 to 369 vote victory over Pete Elliott, varsity football gaur- terback. Arlynn Rosen was elected vice- president; Elinor Abramson, sec- retary; and EugeniaaMcCallum, treasurer. * * * IN THE EDUCATION school, Bill Kogen was elected senior class president, and Jean Boos won the vice-presidency. "Pinky" Calhoun is secretary and Charles Stetter treasurer. Those named to J-Hop were: Joyce Atchison, Bill Owen, Nancy Williams, Donna DeHarde, Jim Burk, Nancy Cupples, Mar- garet Price, Ruth Campbell, Jack Hayward. Johnson learned of his elec- tion while sprinting down the stairs of the Union with other members of Druids, literary col- lege honor society which went on a "tapping" mission last night. "I thought it might be close, but I never hoped to vin by such a margin," he panted. IN THE DISTANCE Johnson heard the cheer that went up from the students jaimmed into Room 2-K to watch the ballot tabulation when he was officially announced as winner of the class presidency. "I'm completely over- whelmed," he said. A native of Detroit, Johnson is 21, and lives locally in Greene House in the East Quad. He holds three letters' in track where he excelled in the 440 and 220 yard events. "The thing I like most about the Senior Class election results," he later told reporters, "is that they do not follow any set fra- ternity or independent lines." "I believe that when affiliated and non-affiliated students cease voting in blocks against each other the student body will get better qualified and more force- ful representatives." (.) Religion To Be Subject of DebateToday SRA Will Discuss Plan for 'U' Courses Weighing the problem of the University and religion, a profes- sional religious man and a fac- ulty member will give their views! in a debate sponsored by the Stu- dent Religious Association at 7:30 p.m. today at Lane Hall. Prof. Frank 'untley, of the English department, will present a plan for courses in religion drawn up by a faculty committee and Dr. Franklin Littell, Lane Hall director, will present his own plan. The increased attention other universities were giving to the problem helped bring about the appointment of a faculty commit- tee to consider religious courses, here, Prof. Huntley said. "The committee report recom- mends an increase of courses about religion rather than the es- tablishment of a separate depart- ment," said Prof. Huntley. Other plans provide for a de- partment of religion, possibly similar to the one at Yale. Stu- dents graduating from this de- partment could become profes- sional religious leaders. financed by Galens' yearly Christ- mas Drive which will take place tomorrow and Saturday. Collec- tion buckets, manned by members of the honorary medical frater- nity, will be scattered on campus and downtown, and tags given to contributors. The Workshop is staffed by a licensed teacher, and seven Play Ladies who assist the chil- dren and bring playthings to bed-ridden boys and girls in the wards. Articles such as plastic jewelry, pottery, woven goods, wooden toys and finger paintings are made with the materials and tools pro- vided in the shop. MATERIALS such as packing boxes and cloth scraps, ordinarily considered waste, are also used so that when children return home they can utilize any type of ma- terial at hand. Emphasis is on instructing children in new skills and help- ing them improve the ones they have. One boy, now 13, has been in and out of the hospital for five years. During that time he developed an interest in the tropical fish tank in the Work- shop. Encouraged by the teacher, he read up on the subject, and now is able to tend the fish tank and discuss ichthyology with the au- thority of an expert. Another girl, admitted to the hospital before school age, learned skills normal children her age were mastering, and upon her dis- charge was able to take her place in the third grade. U.S. Doctors Sufficient for Medical_.Needs Equal Distribution Is Key-_Furstenberg IAmerica has enough doctors to fill its-needs if medical services are distributed properly, Dean Albert C. Furstenberg of the University's Medical School told the second annual Conference on Higher Edu- cation here yesterday. The United States has one doc- tor for every 800 persons. And that is the highest ratio in the world, he declared. * * * * THE NUMBER of doctors would be adequate if there was not a tendency for medical services to be concentrated in the more populous cities of the wealthier states, he said. Discussing medical education, Dean Furstenberg said that there was no need for new medi- cal schools now because the es- tablished institutions are ex- panding to meet increased de- mands for medical education. Both he and Dr. Gordon A. Scott of the Wayne University Medical School declared that medical schools are not interested merely in applicants with advanced sci- ence study. APPLICANTS who have con- centrated in social sciences and the humanities after finishing their basic science requirements are also desirable, they said. At the final session of the two- day conference, Lee M. Thurston, Michigan superintendent of pub- lic instruction, called for the es- tablishment of great numbers of new community colleges. McoL drtg nTenrsd i About a million dollars will be needed to construct the pro- posed heating plant addition and the "motor pool." Money was also requested to draw plans and lay groundwork for a new School of Music, Medi- cal building and a fire station. IN LAYING the budget before state officials, resident Alexander G. Ruthven told them the Uni- versity expects continued increases in enrollment. President Ruthven declared the new units were needed "... if the University of Michi- gan is to maintain its high standards of instruction and re- search which so long have been its distinctive feature." The state budget commission is examining the request and will turn it over to the State Legisla- ture when it convenes in January. A committee of lawmakers will then journey to the University to further study the budget request before reporting back to the Legis- lature.

Campbell, 'J3 former managing editor. of Te Daily with 2, 514 votes, VOTING WAS heavy both days of the election, in spite of the raw winds that whipped ballots from students' hands and forced many attendants to wear gloves. The 7013 ballots almost over- whelmed the hard-working staff of counters last night. Three hours were required to sort before counting could start. Working behind rows of tables , in a smoke-filled room in theUn- ion, counters under the direction of Hugh Greenberg tabulated votes and shouted totals which were chalked up on a big blackboard at one end of the room. * * * OTHER OFFICIALS worked over an electric calculating ma- chine, figuring quotas for the Leg- islature elections. Because ofthe proportional representation sys- tem, figuring in the SL election took longer than for the other votes. A changing crowd of more than 100 students, including candi- dates, crowded into the count- ing room during the evening to watch the election results take shape. Sharp-eyed officials from the Legislature and Men's Judiciary watched the counting and the crowd of students to see that noth- ing went wrong. * * * SIXTY-FIVE ballots were in- validated early in the eveningbe- cause of wrong markings or the lack of a punch-hole. Men's Judiciary Chairman Ev Ellin said that any complaints should be handed in writing by tomorrow to Mrs. Ruth T Calla- han in Rm. 2, University Hall.
