Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY AFFILIATES SHARE TASKS: 'Wolverun' . Sand, Needles Fly at Exchange Party * * * * " * * * * By CRAWFORD YOUNG A new kind of exchange "party" was held yesterday by Alpha Epsi- lon Pi fraternity and Alpha Delta Pi sorority. As their share in the festivities, the AEPi's began the process of cementing over the dirt basement of the sorority house. AND TO KEEP the celebration going; nimble - fingered ADPi's sewed busily on some drapes to fill the bleak windows of the frater- nity house. The party got rolling at about 2:30 p.m. yesterday, as a few of the men began straggling in from their classes. Dress was strictly informal. The debauch increased in scope as the day wore, on-by dinner- time, 15 joy-mad AEPi's were rak- ing sand on the basement floor, readying the cellar for the appli- cation of concrete later this week. * 1' * THE ACTUAL POURING of the concrete will be done Tuesday, the groups predicted. The idea for the exchange party, originated at the dinner table of the AEPi house several weeks ago, according to Conrad Goode, '51, "social chairman." Portia Pre~tle, '52, president of the sorority, was a guest of the fraternity and, noticing the cur- tainless windows of the AEPi house, suggested the afafir. "Refreshments" for the party were obtained on a strictly bus- iness basis, Goode reported. ~,The sorority purchased the sand and cement and the fraternity bought the material for the drapes.

NOT REALLY STUCK - This apparently abandoned derrick, which is being stored behind a South Thayer hotel, has stimu- lated campus rumors for years. Many people think it got trapped behind the hotel after it was used in construction work there. .4 4 .

The derby is part of a gala out- door "Tennis B a11 Weekend" planned for May 18 and 19 by the Union and the Women's Athletic Association. Featured events, be- sides the derby, will be the Tennis Ball, a dance under the stars at Palmer Field May 18, and an all- campus Arb party May 19. Spring Drama Series Tickets Will Be Sold The real story of the derrick which could get out if it wanted to can now officially be told. A rumor has been heard on campus for the past three years about a derrick which, after being used in the construction of a ho- tel on South Thayer, got trapped behind the new building, unable to get out. * * ' THE RUMOR took on greater strength, when students and townspeople found the derrick in the same spot whenever they jour- neyed behind the building for one reason or another. By now, many students are sure the derrick is really trapped back there. People who always see it there probably- only come during the hours it's being stored. Or else they'd know the derrick which isn't supposed to be able to get out, can. IRead Daily Classifieds ... .. ,, ._ ,I YOUR l j It OFFICIAL MICHIGAN RING IS HERE!

The dread polio virus may even- tually be stopped dead in its tracks by recent discoveries of two Uni- versity scientists. Prof. Gordon Brown and Prof. W. W.

Doug- las MacArthur's return to the United States neglected to men- tion liis poor health, Paul Swens- son, managing editor of the Min- neapolis Tribune, said yesterday. "The genral's physical charac- teristics were almost entirely over- looked by the papers until his his- toric speech to Congress," Swens- son told journalism students. Rumors Gen. MacArthur was afflicted by palsy and was fail- ing physically were overlooked by reporters who covered his arrival in San Francisco from his Tokyo headquarters, the editor said. Swensson stressed the import- ance of telling readers how the general walled down the plank from his plane, the texture of his skin, and whether he spoke like a young man or an old one, after more than 14 years abroad. Swensson said because the Tri- bune's eight man Washington bureau failed to get the d-etails of Gen. MacArthur's health he was forced to send several reporters to Chicago and Milwaukee, where the general was speaking, to get the desired information.

"Ethionine," Prof. Brown ex- plained, "stops the growth of polio virus by interfering with the complex chain of chemical reactions that takes place with- in tissue cells but not by acting directly upon the virus." This interference, he continued, prevents the virus from getting substances necessary for its growth and multiplication. * * * PROF. BROWN, however, point- ed out the research results will have no immediate application in treatment of polio infection until further extensive tests with ethio- nine and similar compounds have, ~been made on animals. "Ethionine in doses large enough to stop virus growth in the human body, in contrast to a laboratory culture of human tissue, would probably produce undesirable results," he asserted. But, he intimated, the new technique of growing polio virus in cultures of human tissue "opens the door" to a research approach that may possibly lead to finding a chemical which can be safely employed in the fight against polio infection. The research reported by Prof. Brown and Prof. Ackerman is part of a large polio project conducted in the University Virus Laboratory under the su- pervision of Prof. Thomas Fran- cis, chairman of the epidemiol- ogy department -of the public health school. The project is being sponsored by grants from the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly- sis. ' Season tickets for the coming1 Ann Arbor Drama Season, whicht will begin May 15, will go on sale at 10 a.m. tomorrow in the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre box office.- Mail orders for season tickets for the five-play series are still being accepted but tickets for in- dividual performances will not beK put on sale until May 10.

To Be Held Today Harold James, of the United States Geological Survey, will speak at 4 p.m. today in Rm. 2054 Natural Science Building. James's topic will be "Evolution of the Iron Formation Lithologies in the Lake Superior Region: Problems in Sedimentation and Metamorphism." He is now working in Michigan's Upper Peninsula on a resurvey of the iron district. e "Anyone who wants to can plainly see," the hotel's desk clerk said, "the iachine is nar- rower than the driveway and the derrick is not broken down. In fact, it's in excellent operating condition." * * HOW COME it's in such good shape? Because it's used! Onlythree months ago the construction 'company which owns the piece of machinery used it in some local construc- tion work. They brought a truck in and towed the derrick off. The reason it always seems to be there, the clerk pointed out, is the construction company likes to store it there. It's safe from small boys who might take some pieces from it. The aparatus is valued at between seven and eight-thou- sand dollars. Daily Classifieds Bring Quick Results Well, it isn't.
