RABBITS TO LINCOLN LOGS:
Hospital School Keeps Kids Happy
'Victor's' Student Director-=
From Theater to Legal Bar
By KATHY SEVERANCE
In the large pleasantly lit school
room on the ninth floor of Uni-
versity Hospital, elementary school
children busily do their work.
Lying under a table is the pet
rabit, Rainbow, a patient animal
who puts up with a great deal of
mauling. A long tailed white rat,
and two guinea pigs roam about
the room.
Various toys, including a sand
box, are present in addition to the
usual school room equipment.
Galen Workshop
At 'the opposite end of the hall
is the Galen workshop where the
craft materials used in the ele-
mentary school program are kept.
Containing paints, paper and
maps, the room is furnished with
equipment by the Galens, a 20
member junior medical school hon-
orary who also provide a teacher.
Bees are studied by means of a
glass observation hive placed in
the room.
Comparison can be drawn be-
tween the method of teaching here
and that of an old-fashioned mul-
ti-grade little red school house.
Projects are set-up so that all
grades can take part, and every-
thing the child does is geared to
the particular project.
In preparation for Thanksgiv-
ing, all crafts, films, records, and
books as well as the regular school
work will concern Indians. Units
give all the children an opportun-
ity to work together.
Even the - children who can't
come up to the cheerful school-
room do not miss out on the rich
educational and recreational ex-
periences offered by the school.
Teachers Always Visit
Big carts filled with toys and
books are sent down to the wards,
and the children are taught there.
Even if a child is to be in the
hospital for a short time only, a
teacher comes to. visit him, leav-
ing a toy or a book.
Here the unit theme is still
carried out and children in the
wards are not missing anything
that goes on in the school room.
Educational toys are used, a big
For twenty years, Dan Weinberg-
er, '56L, has been in the entertain-
ment field, in roles varying from
Bob Crachit in Dickens' "Christ-
mas Carol" to the lead in Odets'
"Golden Boy."
Although his professional goal
has shifted from the stage to the
bar (legal variety), Dan has kept
in touch with show business by act-
ing as student director for this
year's Union opera, "Hail to Vic-
tor!" scheduled for local perform-
ances Dec. 8, 9, and 10.

9-To place the faculty in charge
of dismissal procedures.
10-To provide that all cases con-
cerning the possible dismissal of
students go before a student judi-
ciary that is furnished with all the
information possessed by the Uni-
versity.
11-To seek improvement of the
student judiciary, so that it will
have more freedom and authority.
12-To encourage the University
to build a Student Activities Center
which will fill the needs of all
student activities, and which will
be separate from any existing 'U'
buildings.
13-To integrate all functions of
the International Center, except for
its counseling and legal advisory
functions, into the campus activi-
ties structure.
14-To press for Regental action
on student government recommen-
dations within 3 months.
15-To work to allow students to
be free to hear any speaker or
speech of their choice.
16-To provide thatistudent gov-
ernment have jurisdiction in all
areas of student affairs.
"The whole purpose is to pro-
duce an aggressive unified stu-
dent government with a workable
plan of action," Leah Marks, 56L,
temporary chairman of the organi-
zation, said.
Dan's first role was the typical
first role for all entertainers: the
lead in the first-grade class play.
"But the enthusiasm and interest
the teacher took with that produc-
tion caught with all of us," Dan
said.
This early role cast Dan as Bob
Crachit. There was always diffi-
culty when it came time for
Crachit to lift Tiny Tim for the
final message; for Tiny Tim was
bigger than Crachit.
Dan's interest in entertainment
continued through high school.
During a war-time stint in the Na-
val Air Corps, he had the opportu-
nity to work with the Armed Forces
Radio station in Manila.
After the war, Dan returned to
Akron, 0., where he attended the
University of Akron and worked
with various stage groups in the
'U' DIRECTOR:
Garrison N
By CAROL NORTH
"My hobby is the same as my
job - television, more television
and then a little more television,"
Prof. Garnet R. Garrison said.
Looking around the TV studio
filled with student actors, the ro-
bust Director of Television con-
tinued, "There's a creative satis-
faction in seeing students come to
life in front of a TV camera that's
something special."
With Detroit's WXYZ
Born in Tennyson, Ind., Prof.
Garrison spent his childhood in
Detroit. It was during his junior
year at Wayne University that he
got his first job on a small radio
station. After his graduation in
1933 he joined Detroit's WXYZ as
an announcer, newscaster and di-
rector.
While with the station, Prof.
Garrison learned radio by the
"workshop principle" which is us-
ed in the TV Studio today. He an-
nounced, directed, wrote his own
copy and acted as his own engi-
neer.
"It's a good method," he said.
"We had to do things ourselves,
and we learned more thoroughly as
a result."
"More people have heard my
voice than realize," he laughed.
"While with WXYZ I did some of
the first commercials for the 'Lone
Rangers' series."
Got Masters in Speech
After WXYZ Prof.eGarrison
worked at Lansing's WJIM as
chief announcer and program di-
rector. During this time he com-
muted to Ann Arbor and obtained
his masters in Speech.
As Director of Radio at Wayne
in 1936, he instituted the "Listen-
er's Diaries" research program, a
system that is used nationally to-
day.
Leaving Wayne in 1942, Prof.
Garrison joined NBC in New York
as production director and super-
visor of employee training pro-
gram. There he trained many of
today's stars, and also represent-
ed the network on shows featuring
stars such as Jack Benny, Eddie
Cantor, Fred Allen and Bob Hope.
During his stay in New York he
taught radio acting at Columbia,
which revived his interest in teach-
ing. During a vacation visit to Ann

PASSING THE TIME AWAY
over-sized wooden shoe which the
child can lace, building blocks, and
Lincoln logs. These things attempt
to teach as well as to amuse.
One of the main objects of the
school is to keep the child happy
and contented during his hospital
stay in order that he return home
a well-adjusted individual.
Pop corn popping parties are
held for teen agers and everyone
gets a chance to help. One kind of
party, is eagerly looked forward to
by all of the children.
Ice Cream and Snow
Ice cream freezers, the old-fash-
ioned variety that have to be
cranked are used to make ice
cream for one and all. Here get-
ting enough people to turn the
crank is no problem.
Another big occasion in every
child's life, the first snowfall, is
included in the school program.
Big dishpanfulls of snow are
brought in so that the children can
put their hands in it, and at least
see it.
High school age boys and girls
are also taught all of the usual
courses in their 8th floor class-
rooms. Especially encouraged are
those students who because of
their illnesses have gotten so be-
hind in their school work that they

Le Cercle Francais will headline
Prof. James C. O'Neill of the
French department in its reunion
at 8 p.m. today in the League.
Acting as a "disc jockey," Prof.
O'Neill will play popular French
folk and cabaret songs and dis-
cuss them. He will compare these
French songs to American music
of the same kind.

be shown and refreshments served

have entirely dropped out of
school.
Typing Classes
Through the use of personal
typing classes, classes in which the
boy or girl is given an opportunity
to learn to type just for his own
pleasure, students have regained
an interest in their academic work.
If the student is going to be in the
hospital for a long period of time,
the teacher checks with his home
town school to get the necessary
curricula.
According to Mrs. Mildred Wal-
ton ,the Director of the Hospital
School, the problem of illness may
)e less severe when children are
kept busy and happy. "Our main
aim is to have all of the children
taking part and contributing in all
of the school activities," she con-
cluded.

... Student Director
city. He entered the University
Law School last year.
In spring he submitted a script
for the Opera, and although it was
not selected for production, one of
last year's Opera leads suggested
he try out for student director.
Dan is enthusiastic about this
year's Opera: "The music ap-
proaches professional caliber," he
commented, "and the cast has a
lot -of spirit."
Arbor he accepted a position in
the speech department, and in 19-
47 made his permanent home here.
Studio in Angell Hall
With television in its embryo
stages, most of the school's TV
training then was done without
real equipment. After his appoint-
ment to Director of Television in
1950, however, the University gave
an appropriation for the -much
needed equipment and the TV'
Studio took up its home in the
basement of Angell Hall.
A final move to the present May-
nard Street offices brings the stu-
dio's history up to date. Now
Prof. Garrison's interest is in keep-
ing up the quality of programming,
especially in educational TV.
In his post he finds little time
for relaxation and in a typical day'
must answer countless questions
from people who look to the Uni-
versity as a leader in educational
television.
"Despite the common joke of a
'busman's holiday'," Prof. Garrison
said, "I enjoy spending my leisure
hours watching TV with my wife
and daughter. It's a new and
growing field, with experimenta-
tion going on continuously. One
can never learn too much about
it."
