Bloodmobile Comes To G.C 104 Lose Blood! Wednesday. September 22 was the day. New Women ' s lobby was the place. The Red Cross Bloodmo- bile came to the Greensboro Col- lege campus for the annual fall blood drive, sponsored by the Mentors. Coordinating the entire event was Mrs. Sylvia Brady. Direc- tor for the Blood Services for the Greensboro Chapter. Workers at the Bloodmobile were volunteers from the community and the Men- tors. Red Construction paper and footprints placed on the walkways led volunteers to the lobby of the New Women ' s Dormitory. There the potential donors went through the various station where their weight was recorded and their blood pressure, temperature, pulse, and iron level were checked. As much as the Red Cross needs blood, these measures are to en- sure the safety of the donor. If all of these are satisfactory, the volun- teer can then actually donate, a rel- atively painless process which only takes about ten minutes. After- wards, they are led to the canteen to enjoy refreshments. The blood drive this year was very successful — 104 pints were collected. There had been 121 vol- unteers, but seventeen had to be refused. The majority of the donors were G.C. students-, the remainder were faculty and members of the community. There were also three people who reached a gallon — Kim Taylor. Debbie Barker and Lisa Smith. Congratulations girls, and congratulations G. C for giving the gift of life. lew moments to
