Blood Drive
Needs 100 Pints

Madison Hall, the Office of Volunteer
Community Service for the University, is
coordinating the University Red Cross
blood drive next Thursday.

On that date students will be asked to
donate one pint of blood to the Red Cross at
Westminster Church, just past Beta Bridge on
Rugby Road. One hundred pints are needed
from University students and faculty.

A person normally has twelve or thirteen
pints of blood in his system, and can easily
afford to donate one pint every two months.
Blood that is donated is provided free of charge
to hospitals and emergency centers.

A Red Cross team from Washington, D.C.
will be waiting to receive blood donations at
Westminster Church between 11 a.m. and 4:30
p.m. next Thursday. Interested persons are
reminded that there is ample parking behind
the Church on Seventeenth Street.

Students under 21 who have never before
donated blood must have a brief statement
signed by their parents, guardians, or classmates.

All who intend to donate blood must sign
up at the table in Newcomb Hall, second floor,
Monday through Wednesday or at Madison
Hall, according to Paul deVries, the Director of
Volunteer Community Service. Donors must
commit themselves now to insure that the
quota will be met.
