BLOOD DRIVE Last Spring Mercer students sponsored the first Blood Drive ever in Macon. This year, under the leadership of George Rumsey, Blond Drive Coord in alor, two drives were held — one in the Fall and one in the Spring. The goal for the Fall Drive of 250 pints was easily topped when a record 290 pints were donated, In view of the large turn-out a goal of 300 pints was set for the Spring Drive. Rumsey and his aides mounted an extensive advertising cam- paign employing the slogan “It's a matter of pride. However, because of intramural sports, widespread illness, and other factors, only 240 pints were collected, In both Drives the Baptist Student Union gave more blood than any other single organiza- tion — 40 pints in the Fall and 50 pints in the Spring. The members of BSU also aided the Red Cross Nurses in collecting the blood. 15
