LOOD DRIVE GO FOR THE BL OOD H-SO 'Close your eyes and think about what you could be doing at this moment. To what does this allude? Remember when you were lying in that lawn chair with a quarter-inch needle protruding from the flesh of your left arm? Your arm was at- tached to a pint- sized bag which filled itself with blood, depending on the frequency with which you squeezed the little black ball. Pump harder every five seconds, says the nurse. One thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four thou- sand, Squeeze .. . Ahh! Blackout! You squeezed too hard, barks the triple im- age of the nurse. You see an array of colors while a patriotic vision of stars passes in front of you, and as sud- denly as you disap- peared from reality, you return. The sweet Zeta girl who has graciously .' devoted her time for ' 1 your blood is still squeezing your right hand and telling you that there is nothing to worry about. The attention is magnifi- cent, and for awhile you feel like the one and only. You have a reason to feel proud: you have just contributed to the Hampden-Sydney claim for the Tiger-Yellow Jacket Cup, you have just contributed to the Red Cross blood bankg most importantly, your blood just might suave another persons life. Regardless of the amount of blood extracted by the Tigers from the Yellow Jacket Insects on the field, Hampden-Sydney did not score as highly as it should have against Randolph-lvlacon in the blood drive. Y l , X 'id' Q Q A v 5 c 1- --111 fx? '. I Q-4 I fs-,- B.-. Hampden-Sydney students put out 199 pints of blood with 28 OXO of our student body participatingg Randolph-Macon students put out 234 pints of blood with 310!0 of their student body participating. The men from the Roach lvlotel, -N 1 fourth passage Cushing, won the freshman competition. Chi Phi won the fraternity competition with 760!0 participation. ln order of generosity, the other fraternities contributed the following: Sigma Nu 6304, Alpha Phi Alpha SOM, Kappa Alpha 41010, Phi Gamma Delta 3306, Pi Kappa Alpha 250!0, Theta Chi 230!0, Lambda Chi Alpha 220!0, Sigma Alpha Epsilon 17fV0, Sigma Chi 1470, Kappa Sigma 60!0. It is pathetic ,- that Hampden- Sydney permitted Randolph-Macon to steal the Tiger- Yellow Jacket Cup by a miniscule 30!o. lf 25 more people had extended an arm to the Red Cross then the Tiger-Yellow Jacket Cup would have re- mained in civilized territory. For your future reference, there are two ways for Hampden- Sydney to regain this cup: either we steal it or we show a higher turnout for the 1984-85 blood drive. The first m e t h o d i s unacceptable and the second is more rewarding. The next blood drive will be very discouraging ' 5 for Randolph-Macon when Hampden- Sydney shows them how real men bleed. The blood drive was made possible by Dean Lewis Drew, Bar- ron Segar Ill, Sigma Nu Fraternity, Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority tl.ongwood Colleget , the nurses 1
