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.
