Blood Drives Every year Oregon State has a least one blood drive per term and it is held in the Memorial Union Ballroom. Many students choose to come and either volunteer or give blood. Red Cross runs the entire blood drive and it is a great way to get students involved in saving lives. When one student donates their blood it saves at least three lives. Blood Drives at Oregon State are quite successful and many people show up to donate their blood. There are many students who come to the blood drive who have never given blood before, and it is a great opportunity to students to donate their blood. I was really nervous to donate my blood, but it was worth it in the end because I knew that I saved lives. said Freshman Victoria Chapman. During Fall Term there is a Civil War blood drive were both Oregon State University and University of Oregon participate in. The two schools compete against each other to see which school can donate the most blood. So not only is there a competition on the field with football, but there is also a great competition between blood donation. Everyone had a lot of fun during the Civil War blood drive and everyone wanted to beat the Ducks and show that the Beavers could donate more blood. This year the Beavers came out victorious and won the Civil War Blood Drive. Not only do people come and donate blood but there are many people who come and vol- unteer during the blood drives. Students help run the blood drives and help the Red Cross with whatever they need. Many volunteers have numerous responsibilities to make sure the drive runs smoothly. Some people help with sign in. others help with refreshments, and there are many other jobs that volunteers help out with. Without the time of the volunteers, the blood drives would not run as smoothly as they always do. All in all, blood drives at Oregon State are very successful, and they help save many lives. With all the students, faculty, and community members who come and donate blood and or volunteer, the blood drives would not be as successful as they are.
