Has Valuable
Transfusions

There's a bank down at the
University Hospital.
But unlike most banks, this or-
ganization deals withna substance
far, more valuable and precious
than money-Blood.
THE BLOOD BANK is a system
through which a person in need
of a transfusion can obtain whole
blood by borrowing the required
amount from a "storage vault" at
the Hospital.
Blood taken from the bank
must be replaced in one of three
ways:
:First, the patient may have his
friends or relatives donate blood
to replasce the amount that he has
used1.
BUT IF THE patient does not
have anyone who is able to make
a donation, he may turn to one
of the many church, social or fra-
ternal groups which make volun-
teer- deposits to help supply ever
ir creasing blood needs.
The third way of retiring the
loan_ is by buying blood which
.s replaced by professional don-
ors obtained by the Hospital..
4n this case the patient is
charged at the same rate as
the Hospital must pay the don-
Professional donors must be us-
ed to pick up the places of slack
when deposits are low and also to
replace rare blood types.
FOR THIS PURPOSE, the Hos-
petal relies on the contributions of
fron 300 to 500 students a month.
They. must be between theages
otZ 21:-and 50 (parental consent is
needed for those between 18 and
20). and in good health.

Responsibility for running the
University rests upon the shoul-
ders of a quartet of experienced
men-all alumni of the institution
they operate.
The top-ranking administrators
include President Alexander G.
Ruthven, Provost James P. Adams,
and Vice-Presidents Marvin L.
Niehuss and Robert P. Briggs.

with avowed Communist Herbert
J.i Phillips on a Michigan Forum
d bate program, tentatively sche-
d led for April 25.
April 6. Charles H. Peake, as-
staut -dean of the literary col-
I ge, was appointed dean of Knox
Colege at Galesburg, Illinois, end-
iig a thirteen-year association
with the University.
April 17. The University Lecture
Committee banned the proposed
Iebate, on "Communism vs. Capi-
ta!lm"', which was to include Her-
bert J. Phillips, Communist teach-
er who was fired from the Univer-
-t sity of Washington. The decision
barred any member of the Com-
minist Party from speaking in
University buildings. Meanwhile,
stuidents prepared sharply-worded
protests to the Lecture Committee
and Phillips, in New York, denied
that he had ever "urged the modi-
fication or destruction of the gov-
ernment of. the United States by
violence," in reply to the decision
whic invoked a Board of Regents
by law.forbidding any address that
urges such action.
April 21. A mile-long parade of
floats, balloons and five marching
bands opened the Michigras week-
end, which had been advertised by
stunts, clowns, and the escape of
a violent maniac from the frater-
nity house where he had been im-
prisoned since he had been
brought to Ann Arbor from a
"West Coast agency" as a freak-
show attraction.
April 22. The annual Phi Beta
Kappa dinner sponsored a talk by
Elner Davis who stressed the res-
ponsibility of scholars to pass more
of their knowledge on to the gen-
eral public in a form which the
public can understand. He de-
clred that "those who have a su-

perior ability to discriminate be-
tween probable truth and almost
certain falsehood have a special
responsibility which is needed es-
pecially in a time of peril" such as
this.
April 25. An ad hoc committee
formed to sponsor the Herbert J.
Phillips debate announced he
would speak in a State Street cafe-
teria. An opponent for Phillips had
not yet been obtained, since Prof.
Wernette declined to participate
"in a debate that wasn't officially
approved by the University."
April 26..Prof. Preston W. Slos-
son of the history Department
agreed to debate with Phillips, al-
though University officials still
barred the event from campus.
April 27. A record-breaking total
of almost 8,000 students went to
the polls to register the largest all-
campus vote in the history of the
University.,
A crowd estimated at 2,000 peo-
ple packed the State Street site of
the debate between Herbert J.
Phillips and Prof. Slosson. Only
some 400 succeeded in cramming
their way into the cafeteria where
the debate was held, but police de-
nied permission to broadcast the
debate over a loud speaker to the
crowd outside.
April 29. Many student dwellings
outside University residence,halls
were called unsafe, by local fire
inspector Thomas Hunter.
Lloyd S. Woodburne, associate
dean of the college of Literature,
Science and the Arts, was appoint-

ington's College of Arts and Sci-
ences, ending a University asso-
ciation of 24 years; both as stu-
dent and administrator.

gan Memorial-Phoenix Project
