TIIE NICIIITAN IILY PINK ONES, YALLER ONES: Poster Propaganda Floods Campus By JOHN DAVIES Campaign posters are spattering the campus community in accel- erating proportions as next week's student government elections draw near. They are battling each other for space on dorm and fraternity bul- letin boards, in store windows, in classroom buildings and until re- cently prohibited, on trees and tel- ephone poles. Every color that ever graced An- gell Hall walls are represented, and the campaign posters vary from postage stamp size to the area a mainsail on a square rigger would take. The posters vary in dignity from a decorous "Experience Counts" to a less formal cry of "The Fer- tilizer Must Go!" The banners varied in amount of writing from little more than a scant mention of the candidates name to the presentation of an in- volved platform. Many posters fea- tured photos of beaming faces; few hopefuls could resist puns on their names. Most women candidates made an appeal for votes on their physical charm. Very few of their posters lacked glamorous photos, although one bold coed's banner read "Looks, No. Brains, Yes." One less- ened her dignity by terming her- self "The Barefoot Guitar Player." One candidate utilized old ad- vertising posters of various natures by pasting his name over certain parts of them. Thus, for example, a converted poster for the film "Day of Wrath" had the candi- dates name over the picture's name, but left the laudatory quotes about the film standing. One said "A terrifying insight into witchcraft, religion and adul- tery." A male candidate distributed lit- tle cards, indirectly, into wash- rooms in women's dorms. They said "Joe Doakes Says Hello." But campaigning is by no means limited to posters. Those running are feverishly running from open1 house to open house to thrust a glad hand into a potential voter's. Many are eating meals at frater- nities, particularly independent candidates, while many affiliated hopefuls are guests at dorm meals. Mass distribution of quad and fraternity slates, as well as grand scale vote swapping, are notori- ously absent this year, the result of a campaign to foster more in- telligent campus voting on the parts of the campus leaders. Daily-Barth RED, WHITE AND EVERY OTHER COLOR. Campaign posters for Tuesday and Wednesday's elec- tions come in any color an artist's palette can create, and range in size from a king sized postage stamp to a moderate-sized mural. They are bespattering scores of house bulletin boards, store windows and classroom building walls throughoi t the campus community. Blfood Test For Cancer Per fec ted Describe Method As Easy,_Cheap DETROIT-(.4)-A simple new blood test tells whether you have any kind of cancer, and finds it early, a leading cancer expert re- ported yesterday. The test is expected to be a big new weapon in cancer control. Lives are saved when hidden can- cers are found and treated early. IT WAS ANNOUNCED by Dr. Charles B. Huggins, a surgeon and president of the American Asso- ciation for Cancer Research, meet- ing here. Ile said it is cheap and "rea- sonably sure," but not perfect. The findings on which it is based may be even more impor- tant than the test itself, he add- ed, for they offer new clues to the disease. Dr. Huggins, Dr. Elwood Jensen and Gerald Miller developed the method at the University of Chi- cago, building on the work of many years by many men seeking tests for the killer disease. THE TEST CAN TELL if you have a small' cancer, anywhere in the body. But it doesn't tell where the cancer is. Doctors would have to search for it. The test gives the same re- sult if you have cancer or lung tuberculosis, pneumonia, menin- gitis or certain other serious in- fections. These would have to be ruled out before cancer was sus- pected. But you would have to be really sick with those dis- eases to get the same blood sig- nal that cancer gives, Dr. Hug- gins explained. Players To ir FairyTales The radio division of the speech department will present the first in a new series of programs at 6:45 p.m. today over Station WPAG.

Original music will be furnished by Harry Burr. The series have been a regular feature on the University Station; WUOM. Little did the lowly rabbit ever realize that his swift-footed race would be incorporated into a time- honored Easter legend. But since ancient times, when the furry creature was revered by pagan worshipers as an emblem of fertility, or newlife, he and his eggs have been as celebrated an Easter myth as old St. Nick at Christmas. THE SIGNIFICANCE of hare's eggs is originally associated with an early Roman decree, forbidding Lenten period. On day, however, they served as part of feasts. Ancient Egyptians, Persians, Greeks and Romans dyed rabbit eggs red to suggest Joyousness. Another theory states the cim- son color was symbolic of the blood shed on Calvary. And in medieval England priests blessed eggs as part of a benedic- tion authorized by Pope Paul V "in thankfulness on account of the EASTER BUNNY LEGEND: Rabbit Eggs Hatch Colorful Tradition Easter Sun- were to be the holiday citizens to eat them during the resurrection of our Lord." 4 SWAYING LOLLIPOP: Transmitter To Mount Coming in this Spring! the NAVY BLUE SLIP fashioned by Lady Lynne in soft, smooth rayon crepe A heavenly hued slip with a new feeling of elegance, boasting the luxury of hand-clipped Val lace applique, the femininity of a deep lace ruffle on the hem; sizes 32 to 40.

Egyptians adopted the now traditional Easter bunny since it's a nocturnal animal and carried its young for one month, thereby representing the lunar cycle. Since hares proved to be quite scarce in America, the myth in this country had to be based on the hare's nearest relation, the rabbit. / 5 . tv '1 F -5 k I Penthouse Perch Again The large metal lollipop which swayed so gaily from the top of the Administration Building last week is scheduled for an early re- turn to its salmon-colored prom- ontory. Radio engineers from WUOM, who insist that the weird contrap- tion is not a confection after all, but rather a high frequency trans- mitter, explain that its disappear- ance was due to the fact that it swayed just a little too gaily. * * * THEY EXPECT that it will re- appear sometime in the next week or so, buttressed by new guy cables. The transmitter is part of a new microwave link with the WUOM broadcasting transmit- ter atop Peach Mountain, 17 miles northeast of Ann Arbor, At present, the FM station's broadcasts are relayed out to the broadcasting transmitter by a leased telephone cable. Broadcasts are then beamed from the moun- tain top in order to extend the station's range. * * * THE LOLLIPOP - LIKE trans- mitter is similar to those used as relay stations by television com- panies. It increases the frequency of the sound waves, thereby short- ening the wave length. Stage-Struck Dog Needed For Operetta Do you own a stage-struck dog? Do any of your friends own a dog who enjoys the lure of the footlights? A small tan dog would be preferred. * * * IF SUCH A DOG exists in Ann Arbor, the Gilbert and Sullivan Society can probably offer him a job in their forthcoming produc- tion of the operetta "Patience." "Patience" satirizes the ac- tions of long-haired aesthetic poets, the kind who trot around with a long stemmed lily or daisy in hand. Naturally, the show features just such a poet -one Reginald Bunthorne by name. Don Dekker, dramatic director of the show, feels that the appear: ance of a small tan dog during a certain scene of the second act would contribute much to the "aesthetic" setting in which such poets thrive. The Society requests any inter- ested dogs (or their owners) to call Grace Wyman at 2-0018. .f:3 ., w .: { .{ $if: S an"F%' v :x:::.: . intimate a p parel I "i- Gb'mn 00o Srun-Struck New Shade J) THROW AWAY I NYLONS 195 hair In keeping with this blond Spring ...
