400 Get Blood Typed
By Student Technicians
In the past two weeks nearly
four hundred Hardin-Simmons
students and faculty members
have visited the Clinical Chem-
istry laboratory to have their
blood typed by student techni-
cians trained in the work by
Professor H. R. Arrant.
The class in Clinical Chemistry
is made up of twenty students
many of whom are pre-medical.
Others in the class plan to go
into the laboratory end of medi-
cine and are receiving their basic
experience in this course. Some
are chemistry majors planning to
into otner pnascs or work in
e neia or chemistry and re
search.
A large number of former
members of the class are now
employed in local and other
laboratories.
During the year the class has
has had a detailed study of the
different laboratory tests used by
hospitals. The latest information
and techniques are learned. The
various functions and malfunc-
tions of the body arc studied and
the indications of these by inter-
pretation of the tests..
In addition to the lecture and
laboratory various professional
laboratory technicians have lec-
tured to the class giving them a
first hand account of the tech-
niques involved.
During this spring semester
the study has involved the chem-
istry of the blood. Red blood
counts white blood counts bleed-
ing and clotting time and the
many other phases of sirology
have been put to laboratory ex-
perimentation. After a great deal of prepara-
tion the last two weelcs have
been spent in typing blood. Each
student is required to type the
blood of at least twenty-five
others.

Candida
Is Reset
For May
Candida major spring produc-
tion of Players Club will be pre-
sented May 8 9 11 12 and 13. The
play was to have been given this
month but postponement was nec-
essitated by the illness of one of
the stars.
According to Dr. Katharine
Boyd director of the production
Candida promises to be a major
event in the history of H-SU
drama. A large number of ad-
vance sales had already been
made. Special interest was shown
b students from the surrounding
high schools. Money was refunded
for these reservations .but it is
hoped by the department that
they will be able to attend in May.
After the typing is done in the
lab cards arc given to the "pa-
tients" with the blood type ac-
cording to the three most widely
known systems of classifying re-
corded on them. In this way any
laboratory will be able to tell
from the card the person's blood
type according to the method of
classifying they use.
The regular blood typing ser-
vice wil lcontinuo Monday and
Tuesday of next week. After
that time anyone who wishes to
have their blood typed should
contact a member of the class.
The study of the important Rh
factor has begun and laboratory
determinations of the. factor will
be made in the next few weeks.
The course is not a study of
"amateur" clinical chemistry; the
same tests and procedures are
learned that are used in all pri-
vate and hospital laboratories.
