family on march 18 and 19 at present there are two classifications into which the blood donated might go — civil ian and defense lehigh has cho sen the defense classification which means that the blood will go to the stock-pile for the de partment of defense and to vet erans hospitals as well as for possible use in the gamma glo bulin to fight polio program in the event that we are engaged in a shooting war our blood will be used on the battle front the reason for choosing this classification is because we felt that this was where the real need was last year it was split between civil ian and military because of the ko rean war this decision was made by the blood drive committee head ed by richard glassberg 55 and dr charles a seidle blood drive pledges are going well and we've had response from every dorm section and every fra ternity we would like to break last year's total of 673 pints which was 57 pints over the quota according to publicity chairman elliot barnett 54 this

didn't show up friday evening to fill grace hall for the fifth program of the student concerts-lectures series missed a very unusual and entertaining per formance the 500 persons who did attend were enthusiastic in their ac claim for john sebastian harmonica virtuoso and dorothy jarnac dance humorist duo-stars of the night sebastian's faultless perform ance of classical semi-classical and modern selections normally written for symphonic instru ments removed any doubts that anyone might have had about the harmonica not being a musi cal instrument miss jarnac captivated her audi ence with her varied performance of serious modern impressionistic danc ing and zany hilarious dead-pan comedy numbers she is truly the feminine victor borge of the dance probably the most unusual parts of the show were the numbers in which miss jarnac and sebastian performed together miss jarnac danced the action as sebastian read short dialogues on the art of mod ern painting and on writing a speech for graduation it was amazing that two per sons with such completely dif ferent personalities could team to present a well-knit interest ing program sebastian maintained an air of ar tistic dignity
