Spring SGA Officers Lead First Blood Drive Campaign promises for worthwhile en- deavors became a crimson reality when the Student Government sponsored a campus Bleed-ln this spring. Held in the SUB, the Bleed-ln neces- sitated a complete change in decor for the Forum. Sterile looking tables, equipment and nurses presented official hospital atmosphere as volunteers lined up to donate. Establish- ment of a blood pool occurred in late May when 55 members of the student body and faculty each donated one pint of blood to the Carter Blood Center. Credit for the blood will be maintained for one year, during which time those who are directly associated with TCJC may draw from the pool in emergencies. Two hemophiliac students of TCJC will also benefit from the blood pool. Several volunteers were refused by the Blood Center because they did not meet the necessary requirements. Before blood was taken, a blood test was made to check for illnesses, and Fih factor. From school, the donations were taken to the blood center and processed for immediate use. Dr. Phil Speegle, dean of student services, offers his other arm when the first needle slipped from a vein during the blood transfusion. lf

Thirty-six schools in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas made up Region Xll of the Association.

Versatility is the key-word of the Special Events Committee, and it shows in the unique variety of social events, contests, and activi- ties provided for the campus. A Howdy King and Queen were chosen and a Powder Puff football game, complete with cheerleaders, was played as the first two projects of this year. Other events sponsored by this com- mittee were climaxed with the best-dressed contest and selection of five campus beau- ties.
