KU Blood Drive Nets 1,542 Pints; Sets 3 Records
University students and faculty donated 1,542 pints of blood in three days last week, breaking three Kansas City center donor records.
The records are: 1. The first time the Kansas City Center has put out two blood-collecting units in a locality at one time. 2. The LSJ and of blood collective, the greatest collection in the Kansas City units have collected in one place in three consecutive days. 3. More donors were turned away than ever before.
According to Dr. R. I. Canuteson, Douglas County Red Cross chairman, over 300 persons were turned away because the two units were taxed far beyond their normal capacity. The two units took over 500 pints per day, while those normal capacity is about 180. This coupled with the that the Kansas City meter has a definite limit to the number of pints that it can process, was the reason so many people had to be refused.
The goal set by blood drive officials was 1,000 pints. "We thought this goal was rather hopeful at one time." Dr. Canuteson said.
The drive, which was originally instituted by the Arnold Air society and was promoted by that organization, was sponsored by the combined ROTC units.
Lt. Kenneth L. Woodfin, USN, coordinating officer of the three ROTC units, said over 800 hours were put in by volunteer Red Cross workers who conducted the registration and preliminary processing of donors and the canteen services.
The Angel Flight of the Arnold Air society, a group of 10 University women who are honorary members, also helped in processing of donors.
According to Dr. Canuteson, one of the blood donor units is scheduled to be back in Lawrence April 29-30. He said that if the demand still exists at that time, the unit might be set up on the campus for one day.

Atom Plant Guards Strike
Las Vegas — (U.P.) A strike of security guards at Nevada's atomic proving grounds threatened today to halt final preparations for the 1953 nuclear tests expected to begin March 3.
Atomic Energy commission manager Seth Woodruff revealed that the 45 security guards at the proving grounds are planning a strike to protest the firing of one guard.
A spokesman for the Teamsters union, which represents the guards, said the Building Trades council, AFL, had authorized the strike on grounds that the site's security guard had refused to "enter negotiations."

pannier meeting will be attended by officials of the Building Trades council, Federal Service company, Guard service, and others.
As yet, the University has not filed its application with the Federal Communications commission to construct an educational television station, but should take action within seven days, R. Edwin Browne, director of radio, said yesterday.
Mr. Browne said he has received one part of the application in complete form from John Heffelfinger, Kansas City, the engineering consultant.
Last night the Defense department announced that 20,000 infantrymen would take part in 'live ammunition' tests at the site.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy and James McCain, president of Kansas State college, will meet Tuesday morning with state legislators at the traditional "Eggs and Issues" breakfast in Topeka to discuss the proposed educational television stations at the two schools.
Murphy, McCain To Discuss TV
KU and K-State are jointly asking the legislature for $450,000 to build stations at the two schools and link them by microwave relay. If the appropriation is made within the next 60 days, the fund for adult education of the Ford Foundation will give each school $100,000.
A barber-shop quartet, led by Clayton Krebhiel, assistant professor of music education, was first on the program. Charles Oldfather, assistant professor of law, furnished the bass solos for the selections.
Shirley Hughes, instructor in physical education, followed the quartet with a modern dance, giving a rhythmical interpretation of "The Thing."
Three impersonations of "Sioux City Sue" were given by Charles Johnson, assistant professor of education, after which John Ise, professor of economics, played a solo on the Oriental Musette.
Donna and Tom Shay presented a melodramatic skit called "The Eternal Question."
The Faculty Follies orchestra presented as the closing numbers "Dixieland." "Jam Session," "High Noon," and "Sweet or Hot" for the finale.
Rallads, played by Charles Oldfather on a cutaway guitar furnished a "sad and serious" moment in the review. Also on the serious side, Max Dresden, associate professor of physics, improvised on the piano showing how different composers would treat a simple melody.
Murphy Decries Student Behavior
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy today decried the "small minority of the student body who reflect discredit on the University by their cynical disregard of property rights and decent behavior."

The statement was issued today in reference to the rally following the basketball victory over Kansas State Tuesday night.
"Vandalism, reckless driving, and related forms of behavior cannot and must not be tolerated." he said. "The University and the student body must move to curb these behavioral excesses, and I am sure this can be done without eliminating healthy and traditional college fun and enthusiasm."
The chancellor pointed out the many advantages enjoyed by college students through money donated by the people of Kansas, through parental sacrifices, and through the mechanism of the Selective Service which permits young men to complete their higher education.
In return the public is entitled to sincere educational efforts as well as decent behavior and the recognition of the rights of neighbors, $ ^{7} $ he explained.
The chancellor said the fact that the majority of the students accept these responsibilities is shown by the unprecedented response to the recent blood drive—"a dramatic example that has excited the admiration of all."
Student Court Stays Burning
Shearer said that a second hearing on the issue will be held Wednesday evening.
A "stay of execution" granted by Student Court Chief Justice Kent Shearer, second year law, prevented the scheduled burning Friday of the registrations for the spring campus primary elections.
At last Wednesday's session of the court, Bob Walker, second year law, speaking for "the associated students," brought a series of charges against the registration which took place during spring enrollment, stating that the execution of the signup was not in keeping with the ASC bill which prescribed it.
In their decision, the five judges present unanimously declared the registration invalid, and court marshal Roy Bennett, second year law, was ordered to destroy all evidence and records as soon as possible.
At the trial, Bernie Borst, second year law, was asked by the court to answer Walker's arguments, and he did so. One reason for the granting of the second trial, Shearer said, was Borst's statement after the trial that he had not had sufficient time to acquaint himself with the issue and prepare rebuttal for Walker's charges.
Another request for the second hearing came from FACTS party, Shearer said. Dennis Henderson, college junior and FACTS president, sent a note to the chief justice, explaining that since the registration vitally concerned campus political parties they should have testified at the trial.
Regents Desire Building Fund
The State board of regents voted to ask the 1953 Legislature for $120-000 to complete the state's share of a million-dollar psychiatrv building at the Medical Center. The money will be requested from the educational building fund.
