THE MICHIGAN DAILY ' TUESDAY, SEPTEBER27,1949 ? !!' " > HEMOGLOBIN HUNT: Campus Chairmen Cry For Blood in New Drive SUPER-SPECIAL PARKING LOT:. Local Triple Decker Carport Earns Wide Acclaim . :k :it * * By JANET WATTS All we want is your blood. So cry the campus chairmen as they prepare to launch the biggest blood letting session this Univer- sity has ever known. * * * WYM PRICE, who heads the drive this year, points out that a special pact with the University Hospital will allow almcst all campus students to fill the Hos- pital blood bank and earn money for the World Student Service fund at the same time. "All you do is step up to the{ hospital and tell them you wish to give your blood to the WSSF. It's as simple as that," he says. WSSF is a world student or- ganization designed to provide funds for European students who need food and books in order to live and study. With its central headquarters in Geneva, WSSF groups are found on almost all campuses in the United States. THE UNIVERSITY committee hopes to duplicate the record of the University of 'Nevada where 2,000 students donated their blood money to the fund last year. Interested students may go to the University Hospital where doctors will type their blood and place them on donors' lists. Though anyone who is physical- ly able to give may do so, men are taken in preference to wom- en, hospital authorities say. The standard rate of $15 a pint will be turned over to the WSSF. Of groups contacted so far, about 35 students have indicated that they will donate their blood, Price said. The committee con- tacted church groups Sunday and later hopes to reach all campus units, PRICE LISTED several remind- ers for would-be donators: Do not eat for four hours be- fore donating blood. Those suffering from bad hay fever or allergies may not give blood. Those who have had a malaria relapse within the last seven years may not give. The program is part of a plan to educate the campus in the meaning and purpose of WSSF, Price said. "There will not be a formal bucket campaign this year unless we can't raise the money in any other way. Instead we plan to' contact groups personally through- out the year." he said. U Gets Prize For Good Will An award for its work in the French language and literature has been given the University by the Association of Franco-Ameri- can Qood Will, which has head- quarters in Paris. Founded to commemorate the asdlstange given to France by Americans in two world wars, the Association each year grants a series of ten prizes to educational inrstitutions which are developing the common culture of the United States and France A letter received by President Alexander G. Ruthven announced that this year the University will be awarded a prize consisting of books on France and its colonial areas and concerning some lead- ers of French thought. In 1937, Prof. Fernand Balden- sperger, president of the Associa- tion, received an honorary doc- tor's degree from the University in recognition of his work on com- parative philology. By DON KOTITE A unique experiment in the field of civic improvement, Ann Arbor's modern three-decker "carport" at First and Washington Sts. has proven its worth in the first four months of operation. This infant project, first such municipally-owned structure in the nation, has attracted consid- erable attention both locally and nationally for several reasons. ANN ARBORITES point with pride at the "carport's" low-slung construction and roomy interior, designed to meet strict parking requirements. And citizens from as far as Cali- fornia have written in to compli- ment local officials on their non- profit scheme-a system calling for every cent collected to be used in aiding the general Ann Arbor parking setup.
