In an elaborate maneuver designed to bring theoretical lessons into practical focus, three classes of more than 30 members each conducted "Operation Mouse Trap" at 8 a.m., 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. both days. UNDER SIMULATED conditions created by their instructors, M/Sgt. Harry L. Schell and M/Sgt. William H. Drummond, the future Army officers established an offensive against a mythical aggressor force dug in at Felch Park near the Rackham Bldg. The enemy was supposedly attempting an offensive designed to capture the Rifle Range in the center of campus. Moving out from the Range with a full array of weapons, the cadets patrolled along the Diagonal and across N. University Ave. to previously assigned positions bordering the naval gun in front of North Hall. Designated as "Mouse Trap" on the combat mnap, the naval gun represented an enemy outpost with a machine gun manned by eight men.

This year's goal has been set at $70,400. DURING LAST year's drive the faculty and staff of the University went well over their quota. The University Hospital also had little trouble reaching its goal. But because of the disappoint- ing showing of the student body, cannisters will be replaced this year by, direct solicitation wherev- er possible, according to Jessie A. Coller, drive chairman. Letters will be sent to the presidents of each housing unit on campus, asking cooperation SL Sets Deadline For Film Ietitions Only one week remains for cam- pus organizations to petition for sponsorship of Student Legislature Cinema Guild movies to be shown the last half of this semester and the first half of the fall term.

It has been cut down to half of last year's quota because of the low amount contributed by students then. Pete Dow, '55, has been chosen' as chairman of student solicita- tion by the Washtenaw County chapter. General chairman Mrs. Coller is active in numerous civic groups and was the first woman ever to be elected to the County Board of Supervisors. * * * THIS YEAR, at the request of the Office of Defense Mobilization, the National Research Council and the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, the Red Cross has increased tits 1953 quota by seven million dolars. The increase was made in or- dter to finance recreation facili- ties for troops in Korea and for the production of gamma glo- bulin, a blood derivative now be- ing used as a preventative for paralysis in polio. Main function of the organiza- tion is to help families and in- dividuals according to their im- mediate needs in time of disaster. Nearly 4,000 volunteers f r o m Washtenaw County have perform- ed duties ranging from canteen service to reading to the blind. Other services include enter- tainment and instruction projects, plus addi,ional programs provid- ing nurses aides, motor service, staff aid, Grey ladies, first aid and home nursing.

There the mythical aggressor battalion was firmly entrenched with heavy weapon support. By tactical maneuver and fire power, cadets established their own po- sitions on the park's fringes and swept forward with fixed bay- onets to rout the foe. M/Sgts. Drummond and Schell coordinated the maneuver with radio "walkie-talkies." Each ca- det was assigned a specific func- tion or mission from the platoon leader down to ammunition bear- ers and was graded on his per- formance. The practical exercise conclud- ed a three-week course in tactical use and functioning of heavy crew-served weapons. READ and USE DAILY C LASS IF IEDS SETTING OFF ATTACK ON "MOUSE TRAP".

Zahn Denies New Tightening Of City. Fire Code on Campus. ~ Advertised in MADEMOISELLE,, CHARM, GLAMOUR, 1 Reports that city fire regula- tions are receiving much tighter enforcement at campus functions than they have during recent years were denied yesterday by Fire Chief Ben J. Zahn. "We have always checked cam- pus plays, movies and dances to see that regulations are being ob- served," Chief Zahn said. * * * JUST THIS WEEK, he pointed out, inspectors thecked a com- plaint that too large an orchestra was being used in the presentation of "Faust" at Lydia Mendelssohn Theater. When they found a slight blocking of exits, arrangements were made to correct the viola- tion, according to Chief Zahn. fireproof, and other campus dances get the same check. Student Legislature Cinema Guild movies also get an occa- sional routine inspection by de- partment officers as do city amusement places. A definite fire code is written into city laws and all groups are required to abide by it in pre- senting dances, plays and other entertainment. The fire depart- ment makes a close check on all these events since many people are unfamiliar with the laws, Chief Zahn said. t it3s the °4.
