'FRIENDLY SERVICES':
Volunteers Provide Cheer
For Patients at U' Hospital
By POLLY VAN SCHOICK
"It is easy to be lavish, dispens-
ing alms, but the test of character
is to give of one's time when it is
limited.''
The Community Service com-
mittee of the Women's League of-
fers worthwhile experience doing
volunteer work in various fields,
as well as all the fun and friend-
ship of League activity. One of
these fields is the Hospital Volun-
teer Service.
Each year thousands of patients
enter the University Hospital and
St. Joseph Hospital, to stay several.
days or several months. They often
come to the hospital alone, leaving
the familiar things of their lives
behind them.
At the hospital, the patients re-
ceive the best in medical care, but
because their number is so large-
in comparison to the number of
staff, there is a need for volunteers
to provide the small, friendly serv-
ices the professional staff is too
busy to perform.
The volunteer, in her cheery
smock, is a symbol of a willing
friend to patients. There are many
things she may do to assist the
staff, which frees them for the
important professional work only
they are prepared to do.
Opportunities to spend 2 or 3
hours a week doing volunteer work
are open in physical medicine, the
polio respirator center, hospitality
service, hostess service, the hos-
pital school and Chaplain's service.
Volunteers help pnysical thera-
pists in the gymnasium during the
treatment of disabled patients by
taking care of equipment, helping
patients dress and transporting
them to nursing units. p
Polio RespiratoV Center
This is a special unit of Univer-
sity Hospital, supported by the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis and carrying out a spe-
cial program in rehabilitation of
persons who are past the acute
stage of poliomyelitis.
Patients may remain at the cen-
ter many months, and'the contact
with the "outside world" given by
volunteers is especially valuable.
Hospitality Service
Volunteers call on patients and
do personal services for them, such
as reading, writing letters, shop-
ping and errands.
Hostess Service
Coeds may act as hostesses in
hospital lobbies, etc. This service
may include helping families of
patients, hostessing meetings of
"out of town groups," on special
occasions. The hostesses assist pa-
tients with registration, help them
find the right clinics and labora-
tories, or secure wheel chairs for
patients who need them.
Hospital School
Volunteers assist teachers by es-
corting children to and from their
nursing unit to the Hospital School
area. They also may help in wards,
in the school library, workshop
and classrooms.
They assist the recreation leader
of the school by planning and pro-,
viding programs and parties for
various nursing units.
Chaplain's Service
A full-time resident chaplain is
a member of the University Hos-
pital staff, and he performs all the
regular ministerial duties for those
patients who wish it. Volunteers
staff the Sunday Chapel services
for patients.
They contact new hospital pa-
tients, informing them of these
services and the resident chaplain's
program for individual pastoral
care. Protestant, Catholic, and
Jewish volunteers contact patients
of their own faith.
Women who, are interested in
volunteer work at University Hos-
pital may call Mrs. Andrea Keyes,
at University Hospital Volunteer
Service, 3-1531, Ext. 289 for an
interview.
Those interested in working at
St. Joseph Hospital may contact
Sister Xavier at 3-0571.

Booth Plans
Formulated
Petitions Due Friday
From Groups Entered
In Bienniel Carnival
By VIRGINIA ROBERTSON
In an effort to keep competition
as fair as possible, the Michigras
Booths Committee has decided to
set a limit of $200 on the total
booth costs for Michigras entrants.
Booths co-chairmen Lynne Gar-
ver and Charlie Wood emphasized
that this amount is a ceiling and
by no means an average cost.
"Since we are very anxious to
see as many ,organiaztions as pos-
sible enter Michigras," they ex-
plained, "we are refunding up to
80 per cent of the total booth
costs to the entering organiza-
tions .. "
Determinents of Rebate
"This amount depends upon the
number of tickets taken in by
booths, in proportion to the total
amount spent," they continued.
Barney Helzberg, general co-
chairman of Michigras, said that;
based on previous records, "top
quality booths need cost a house
only around $40 when paired with
another group, since, for example,
they will receive a 50 per cent re-
bate on the basis of $160 total
costs."
Wood and Miss Garver explaified
that the Michigras budget is or-
ganized to include these rebates on
construction costs, to be returned
to the groups. The amount of this
rebate for each organization will
depend mainly on the amount of
tickets sold during both nights
of Michigras, in proportion to the
total booth cost.
Rebate Maximum
They said that a rebate can
range as high as 80 per cent of the
total booth costs, but no higher.
"This system serves to reduce the
cost to each organization," the co-
chairmen remarked, "thus enabl-
ing more groups to enter Michi-
gras."
Most of these materials for con-
struction can be purchased through
the University Plant Department,
in a plan designed to cut expenses,
in which the Booth Committee
works with representatives from
each organization.
Supply Order Blanks
Order blanks for these supplies
will be distributed after booth peti-
tions have ben processed.
All booth petitions will be due
at 5 p.m. Friday in the Michigras
office in the Union.
The 1956 bIennial carnival will
be held April 20 and 21 in Yost
Field House, with late permission
of 1:30 a.m. provided for women
students for both nights.
'European Evening'
"European Evening," spon-
sored by the International Stu-
dents Association will be pre-
sented at 7:30 p.m. Friday in
the recreation room of the
International Center.
The program will consist of
an art and handicraft display,
cultural entertainment and fin-
ally, social dancing. Everyone
is invited.
Adding another chapter to As-
sembly Ball history will be this
year's A-Ball, "A Night in Venice"
to be held from 8:30 p.m. until

Sororities
To Fill

Thursday, sorority presidents voted
to replace pledges who are con-
sidered "absolute losses," as well
as lost actives, on Bid Day, to be
held Sunday, March 18.
Falling into this category will be
pledges who have married, trans-
ferred or left , school for other
reasons, excluding scholarship con-
siderations.

organization will run from Mon-
day, Feb. 27, to Monday, March 5.

group on Thursday, March 15, and
elections will follow on Thursday,
March 22.
Changes in the Panhel's consti-
tution were proposed and will be
voted upon at Thursday's meeting.

cedures, lessening the number of

ing the use of a sliding slate, in
which defeated candidates are al-
lowed to run for a lower office.
