t Pleasant Community Hospital on Wednesday nighis.
In view of all the circumstances,
the college blood drive could be
Considered successful, m that it
nSed more blood donors than
53d be handled by the State
Health Department unit during its
two-day stay.
The reason why many students
who had pledged to donate blood,
were not called was that the
committee who initiated the drive
had no idea that the response
would reach the magnitude that it
did.
The Isabella County Red Cross
obtained the services of local professional people, such as doctors,
nurses, and nurses aids, to handle
two extra beds which were set up
to take care of the overflow.
These people were actually on
the scene. However, the routine
of the mobile unit was not able
to incorporate the services of
these people.
This,   of   course,   prevented
Central from reaching its goal.
The   committee   selected   ihe
cards ihai came in first, bui
many  people were  unable  io
give ai ihis particular drawing.
Since, many   of  these  people
would like to fulfill their pledge,
the   local  hospital   and   doctors
have agreed to handle the drawing at the Community Hospital
The designation of the blood will
be the same as that drawn during
the two days the mobile unit was
on campus.
The hospital can accomodate 40
students each Wednesday night,
until all of the students who want
to   give   blood   have   donated.
Transportation will be provided
to the hospital by the college.
The awarding of prizes is being postponed in order io include the students giving blood
on these Wednesday nighis. All
those who wish io make iheir
contribution in ihis manner are
io leave iheir names and addresses in ihe Dean of Women's
Office.
"The committee of students and
faculty in charge of the drive appreciated the cooperation and response of the students," said Mr.
Lichtenfelt.  The  237  pints that
were   given  was  the  largest
amount ever drawn in Isabella
County.

was the theme of the conference.
B?. J. Martin Kloische, president of Wisconsin Siaie College, opened ihe conference
wiih an address, sfeessang ihe
need for communicaiion in today's wosld.
"We are engaged in a war in
which ideas  are our weapons.
Every individual should communicate his ideas. The ultimate issues of the day are going to be
decided only by ideas advanced
which have the power to capture
the beliefs of the peoples of the
world, said Dr. Klotsche.
"Communism actually has very
little appeal to the peoples of the
world. It is only strong where we
are weak. We must see our responsibility and convince peoples
of the world that our ideas of
freedom are better," he added.
At the discussion period follow-

"It wouldn't do much good to
produce a better newspaper unless something were done to create demand on the part of the
people. Newspapers can respond
to the social and economic needs
of the times and thus influence
public opinion. Our citizens must
be taught to read and taught to
read  in  the# newspaper,   which
might be one of the most effective
forms of communication," emphasized Dr. MacDougall.
: At the final session of the conference, Dr. Donate! Meiklejohn,
Associate Professor of philosophy
at  the  University  of  Chicago,
stated his views on "Civil Liberties and Responsibilities."
Dr. Meiklejohn believes ihai,

"The duty of a teacher," he
said, "is to embody and promote
the intellectual life of the community. A good teacher must
make students feel responsible.
The teacher must be able to
freely express himself."
"The teacher who is not free
cannot be responsible. In order
for the teacher to communicate,
to be responsible, and to have responsibility pervade the minds of
students, he must be able to express himself freely, not being
fearful of speaking and acting
contrary to written laws," said
Dr. Meiklejohn.
A coffee hour and a discussion
in Keeler Ballroom followed the
final session of the conference.
Tape recordings of the three general sessions will be available for
class use.
