26 East Tennessee State's Drive Donating blood or plasma is nothing new to many ETSU students who contribute to the needy cause each year. These students recognize the seriousness of not having enough of the right blood at the right time. Every year students from dif- ferent campus organizations come out to support this spe- cial need.

The lecture was sponsored by the communication depart- ment's division of journalism and the Johnson City Press. According to Van Atta only a few, including Reagan, Lt. Col Oliver North and Richard Se- cord, were completely informed of the Iran deal. By the time the press was tipped off about the deal by a Beirut newspaper, the arms-hostages swaps had been going on for over a year, ac- cording to Van Atta.

Van Atta added that the people of this country should be proud that they have a country which al- lows journalists to criticize the government. Van Atta shared the byline with Washington columnist Jack Anderson on the col- umn iiWashington Merry- Go-Round which circu- lates to over 900 papers nation wide.
