Goods Arrive For Disaster In 351 Crates
A hospital packed in 351 crates was brought last weekend to the main campus warehouse at Red Road and Levante St.
The 200-bed hospital contains, when assembled, three operating rooms, a self-contained power source, an X-ray unit, a sterilizing room and a pharmacy.
It was sent to the School of Medicine by the Department of Defense and the Civil Defense Administration as part of the Medical Education for National Defense (MEND) program.
The equipment can be set up for emergency action anywhere in South Florida at any time. It will be used for training medical students and for community service if regular hospital facilities cannot be used during storms such as hurricanes or in military emergencies.
Quick Assembly Dr. Homer Marsh, dean of the School of Medicine, said: “We hope that we will never have occasion to use it in a real catastrophe, but we plan to be fully prepared just the same.”
Dr. Marsh went out to inspect the unloading of the equipment Monday morning along with several members of his staff.

quick assembly. Drugs, instruments, anesthetics and other supplies are labelled.
The equipment can be packed into one large or two small moving vans for transportation. Until a more satisfactory place can be found, the supplies will remain in the main campus warehouse.
Nylon Water Tank
One of the largest items in the pre-fab hospital is a nylon water tank. There is also a water pumping unit and an electric generator.
Trained medical personnel is needed by the School to train for setting up and using the equipment. Laboratory technicians, nurses, pharmacists and engineers wil be part of the hospital staff.
When unloaded in a disaster area the hospital can be set up either indoors or, if necessary, in a vacant field.
Here To Register
Clas schedules for the fall semester will be available on Sept. 1, a week from next Tuesday, at the window of the registrar's office on the second floor of Ashe Building.
All undergraduates should pick up appointment cards for registration when they are available at the same place.

Senate Vote Stirs Hopes For Library
The possibility of starting a new library building and expanding the Student Union looked up Tuesday afternoon when the U.S. Senate passed a “second try” $1,050,000,000 housing bill.
On July 7 President Eisenhower vetoed a similar bill for $1,375,-000.0000, calling it extravagent and wasteful. The money would be used for college classrooms and dormitories, as well as for FHA loans and mortgage down-payments and public housing units.
The University has been trying to get a government building loan since since the Board of Trustees aproved the idea early in June and voted to raise the student activity fe $10 a semester to help amortize a loan. Eugene Cohen, UM treasurer, has been looking into both public and private loan possibilities this summer.
An application has been filed with the FHA office in Atlanta, which would appropriate any money available for this purpose.
First part of the library building scheduled to be built is the stacks, according to Dr. James Godard, executive vice president. He hopes this can be started in a month or two.
If it is to be ffective before next winter, the loan proposal must be passed by the House bfeore it adjourns until January and then signed by President Eisenhower. The Senate vote on the measure was 71-24.

The Joe and Emily Lowe Art Gallery has scheduled five major shows for the coming season which promise excellent viewing for art-hungry Miamians. Most are unusual in that they are presenting material not seen here before.
The five shows, which Lowe Director C. Clay Aldridge has arranged for the gallery from late October to late April, present a wide range of material in crafts, textiles, Oriental works, sculpture and pictures.
The peak show, which is also the most expensive, will t>e in the Gallery from Dec. 17 thru Jan. 31. It will be the sculpture, paintings and drawings of William Zorach.
Abstracts, Watercolors
The showing will contain between 30 and 40 pieces of Zorach's sculpture from various periods of his work, a dozen early abstract paintings done before 1920 and as many of the later watercolors.
Included also will be the Zorach piece owned by the Norton Gallery in West Palm Beach — “Youth.''
Another outstanding exhibition will be the Colombian Exchange show schedule dto b ein the Gallery from March 12 to April 17.
This is a creative show of Colombian art which is being sponsored here by the International Petroleum Co., which will pay all transportation expenses. The show was planned this spring by Colombian officials in cooperation with Robert Willson of the UM art department, who spent two weeks in Colombia arranging details of the large showing.
“Art of Today”
The exhibit, which will embrace 3,000 years of Colombian art, will contain a pre-Colombian exhibit of gold and ceramics, a Spanish Colonial section and a section titled "Art of Today,” which will begin with the 19th century French influence.
The Lowe’s season is scheduled to open on Oct. 4 with a circulating exhibition titled “Young Americans." This will run thru Oct. 24.
“Young Americans,” which is being sent about the country under the auspices of American Federation of Art, appears to be a thoroughly exciting show of craft work by young artists with an average age of 28.
The pieces, including work in

silver, textiles, pottery, furniture, blankets, jewelry, wall-hangings and rugs, were made by 114 craftsmen from 22 states. This show originated at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts in New York City.
Oriental Show
In the galleries from Nov. 5 to Dec. 6 will be an Oriental exhibition based on pieces already owned by the Lowe and augmented by others from various sources. Nucleus of the show will be the Japanese and Chinese pieces owned by the Gallery.
Some new pieces, given to the Gallery this summer by Cornelius Ruxton Love Jr. of New York CDy. will include a large Japanese woven temple hanging, an 18th century Japanese robe, and some early Persian figurines.
Several years ago, Love gave the Gallery the beautiful Tang horse, dating from 618 A.D.

An ivory Kwan-yin, a carved and lacquered wood-seated Buddha and a Sung jar are among the new gifts from William C. Luban of Tampa.
Also on display during this show will be gifts from Allan Gerdau of New York and Dr. Joseph W. Ballantine and Mrs. Mortimer Addoms Jr. of Miami.
The fifth and final show will be a display of textiles by Mariska Karasz, who is famous for her use of applique and embroidery on contemporary textiles. It will be supplemented by works of Florida sculptors.
The Gallery will show items from its permanent collection beginning Sept. 9 until the seasonal opening, Oct. 4.
Canoe Not Found
The 17-foot Grumann aluminum canoe is still missing from the Student Union Lake.
A chain which held the canoe to a tree was apparently cut with a heavy duty wire clipper.
Anyone knowing information about the canoe is requested to see Chink Whitten, assistant director of student activities.

U. S. Missilemen Help Engineers
One million dollars worth of government equipment has been received by the University from Cape Canaveral.
John D. Gill, assistant dean of the School of Engineering, said “This is the value of the equipment as stated by the government, but the actual' value it has to the University has not yet been determined.”
Some of the material cannot be used as it is “highly specialized,” such as hydraulic equipment and other various things used in sending off missiles. However, it will be moved from south campus to main campus as it is designed into the new laboratory program.
Other Equipment Received
Also being housed at south campus are "working supplies” such as chemicals and wiring, received from the Milgo Electronic Corporation in Miami.
Gill said, “Some of this equipment will take us five years to use.”
Milgo had a fire in their Miami plant last April. This equipment, usable in part, was salvaged from the fire, but cannot be sold. Its values has declined and has not been estimated.
“Bringing this to main campus and opening the labs in the new engineering building will be an evolutionary process,” said Gill.
About 75 per cent of the lab equipment on north campus will be moved over this fall to the new building.
Setting High Goals
“This will scarcely begin to equip the facilities for which we are planning” said Gill.
The dedication ceremony for the J. Neville McArthur Engineering Building has not yet been scheduled. According to the building contractors, the structure will be finished by September 1. The ceremony will be held before the fall semester begins.

Mexican Culture Shown In Summer Workshop
An inexhaustible source of study and inspiration was received at the Oaxaca, Mexico, Latin-American Workshop this summer.
Dr. Leonard Muller, professor of modem languages, said “The idea of the workshop was to become acquainted with the region. It is our purpose to give students an introduction to foreign cultures so they might appreciate their ideas and points of view.”
The group used the facilities of Mexico City College, but the center of their activities was at Oaxaca. The courses were supplemented with many field trips to the great ruined cities of Mitla and Monte Alban and numerous surrounding villages with pre-Colombian heritage.
The five students who attended the workshop were Bonnie Dubbin, Toni Cubillas, Jackie Murray, Barbara Ann Lewis and Barbara Stuart.
This was Hr. Muller's eighth year as a vanish professor for
the workshop. Another faculty member, John Klinkenberg, taught art studio and art history at the workshop.
Mrs. Muller acted as chaperone.
A total of 2321 students are attending classes the second summer term, announced E. M. McCracken, University registrar, this week. Of these, 1817 are enrolled in the day session, and 504 are taking evening classes.
These figures do not include some 300 expected to register for a brief Education Workshop.
The College of Arts and Sciences leads in enrollment with 788. The School of Business has 531 and the School of Education 435.
The School of Engineering has 325 and the Graduate School 229. The School of Music has the fewest students with 13.
