Trees Bloom With Bicycles: Last night, trees in the 700 block of Oxford Rd. blossomed - with bicycles, not with nature's spring handiwork. About 25 bicycles were lifted into the branches by high-spirited pledges from the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity at 707 Oxford Rd. The pledges also piled fraternity furniture on the house lawn, disconnected electricity and water and generally disrupted the life of the fraternity house. Fraternity spokesmen said there was no special reason for the devilment. Shown here removing one of the bicycles from its arboreal resting place is Frank E. Cornwell of Ashtabula, O., a University sophomore.

DESTRUCTION FOR CONSTRUCTION: That's what a pile of rubble and wreckage means in Ann Arbor. In the foreground of this picture are the "ruins" of a House of God. But the careful hands of workmen pulled the edifice down, not the wanton violence of bombs pounding non-military objectives. And beyond the wall of the old church proudly stands the new, its roof pointing up to peaceful Ann Arbor skies. In Europe, this rubble would say "Bombers."
