■EDITORIAL
Campus Support Is Sought
as Statewide Drive Begins
V
Most of us are familiar with the campaigns for blood donations during World War II. Many of us gave for these drives. By
so doing research was speeded up upon what has been hailed
as initiating a new era in medical science —"blood plasma.
Tales came back from the fighting front of the miracles
wrought by this precious'substance. When the war was over
plasma went on doing a livesaving job in civilian life.
Today we are again *at war. Blood plasma is needed in
large quantities, both for the military and the civilian population.
A campaign is underway in Michigan to fill depleted supplies and to make available plasma for military use. Central has
joined this drive, and has pledged 1000 pints.
One out of every three of the campus's students and faculty
must donate blood if this drive is to be a success. If the goal is
reached 2000 lives will be saved.
Seldom has this college been asked to share an such an ambitious imdertaking. If we are to succeed, success must come as
the result of a spontaneous effort on the part of the students and
faculty. It cannot come from the endeavors of one organization
or three oiganizations*.
Starting tomorrow morning a table will be set up in the first
floor foyer of Warriner Hall, where Centralites may signify a
desire.to donate. Forms will be available for students under 21
years of age who must secure a parent's consent in writing.
If 150 students sign up during the first two days the State
Unit will be on campus December 19, so that extra blood may be
available for the holiday emergencies.
The drive will continue through vacation and through next
month. The State Unit will again be on campus in January to
receive donations.
Throughout the duration of the drive, LIFE will 'publish a
graph of the campaign's progress. Recognition of organizations
which sponsor donors will also be given.
Central has supported many worthy causes in the past.
Your help is needed .again, Only by a combined effort of donations to the plasma procurement program can supplies, so vitally needed at this time, be assured. J. B.
IK Decision Reversed by Student Court
The Student Court and the
dean of -students, meeting in
joint session, reversed a disciplinary action handed to Phi Sigma
Epsilon, national educational social fraternity, by the Interfraternity Council.
Ii was ihe opinion of ihe
Court and the dean of students
ihai ihe' Interfraternity Council
did not take sufficiently aggressive action in being sure
ihai each of its member fraternities was thoroughly informed ai ihe beginning of ihe
autumn semester regarding
rushing rules.
The opinion states that the
Council heard the case of Phi
Sigma Epsilon, concerning violation of rushing regulations, but
at a later meeting reversed it*
self, referred to another rule, and
undertook under that rule to discipline the fraternity, though it
had cleared it at a previous meeting.
* * *
DISCIPLINARY ACTION, it
was said/was taken by the Council before it had familiarized itself with the Social Code and had
recognized the fact that discipline
could not be administered.
It Was believed by the Court
and. the dean of students that the
Interfraternity Council, could improve its relations with respect
to its member fraternities by
finding a way to be sure that the
new officers of each fraternity
thoroughly understand rushing
rules before the rushing season
begins. It was recommended that
Interfraternity Council become
affiliated With the National In
terfraternity Council in order to
derive from it. the  benefits  of
long experience with many fraternities throughout the nation in
conducting interfraternity affairs.
In the case of Phi Sigma Epsilon ihe Court and ihe dean of
students   concurred   ihai   ihe
fraternity shall refrain from all
participation as an organization
in intramural sporis during
ihe spring semester, 1951. The
fraternity shall not hold any
social functions during ihe
spring semester except ihe two
rushing parlies and ihe initiation dinner.
The fraternity will take action
immediately to set up a filing
system by which the regulations
regarding interfraternity conduct
shall be available to the new officers.
