LIFE FORCE An annual ritual of donating the life force, blood, took place at Cojon. Although everyone In the student body who donates blood was commended, statistics show on Increosing number of denoting seniors. This yeor ' s seniors, the doss of 67, has surpossed oil previous records. Giving blood was as eosy as one, two, three. First, you must register and onswer a few medical questions. Then, they will take your temperature to moke sure you do not hove on infec- tion. Third, if your blood pressure and hemoglobin count were okay, you passed! Continuing fears about donating blood jeopardized this critlcol link in our health core system. Hopefully, Cojon has helped In promoting a positive ot- titude for students, as well as our com- munity. Some donors, such as Andreo Patterson expressed, I wos really scored, but the thought of me saving another person ' s life mode it all wor- thwhile. All donors were proud of their contribution to life. (Bottom) Dorrin Goodmon onfldpotes the moment of donoting blood. (Below) Step Two is the blood pressure test.

' N As we watched the old fogies ogoinsf the whipper snoppers, we heard the scuffling of feet on a well woxed gym floor and the creaking of slowly deteriorating bones in the bosketboll gome that pitted the students ogoinst their teochers. Ah, victory is sweet . . . ond this time the students were able to toste this delicacy! For once the students were oble to teoch their elders something — how to ploy basketball! Melvin Love wos the head professor, racking up fourteen points. To give the faculty some credit, they didn ' t do all that badly: Joe Loverde scoring ten points ond Dan Heoly scoring eleven points. Even so, the students showed them that one needs more than brains to win o boll gome, in fact, they need- ed sixteen points! The final score was students 60, foculty, 45. So the next time one of your teachers asks you If you con bolonce o chemical equotion, simply smile ond soy, No, but con you ploy bosketboll?
