Gamma Sigma Sigma and Alpha Phi Omega, Greek service organizations, sponsored a blood drive in September which may have given a new beginning to someone in need. Twice a year the Red Cross sets up in either the U. C. Ballroom or Sports Page looking for eligible donors. Every pint of blood donated may have saved a recipient from a life-threatening situation. Those who chose to have a vehicle on campus had to have a car registration on file in order to receive a required parking sticker. The lines in which students had to stand and wait to meet the University's requirement seemed to stretch for miles. If one was at the end of the line, there was little hope that the beginning ofthe line could be seen. Perhaps the most important start of the year was the work begun on the Multi-Purpose Building. After months of controversy and conflicts of interest, the site for the building was decided upon. Excavation crews began their work in August in order to reach the goal of completion in 1987.
