Students contribute major part of southeast Louisiana ' s blood supply through the many BLOOD DRIVES A few pints go a life long way Blood Drive? Again? Well that was the attitude drive volunteers and workers fought to overcome. It was responsible for the aver- age number of pints collected falling from 100 to only 50 per day. Even though the number decreased, student donors provided a dependable, steady flow of blood. Many students left name cards on file to be called on in cases of emergency and during the sum- mer months when donations were hard to come by and more was needed due to the higher rate of accidents. According to nurse Peggy McCormick, stu- dents ' donations provided the majority of blood supplied to the Tulane Medical Center. It was then shared with other hospitals throughout the community. Any donation Janie Johnson, a phlebotomist for 16 years, loves every minute of her job. Here she stands by Erin Quinlan who obviously enjoys the act of giving. made, had the potential to help anyone, any- where in the greater New Orleans region. And the actuality of giving was not as horrify- ing as some made it out to be. Blood was collected by a trained professional present throughout the entire donation experience. This act of giving could save someone ' s life. So the next time you see the blood unit conveniently set up for yet another blood drive, stop and abide by the slogan both books and blood were meant to cir- culate. — Marcey Dolgoff J. Bourgeois Cindy Clay shows no misgivings about having participat- ed in the blood drive. She particularly likes the cup she received for her donation. J. Bourgeois Jill Clegg beams with pride at having joined the Krewe of Caring by donating. 28 Blood Drive

David Goslln, president of the Tulane Business Society — a graduate student organization — presents T. Boone Pickens with the framed poster which promoted his visit to campus. A New Era of Entrepreneurship Pickens speaks on what his attention has shifted toward most recently — A new arena he calls the shareholders ' revolution. He has created the United Shareholders As- sociation to provide the collective voice the owners of America ' s public corporations now lack. T. Boone Pickens Jr., president and chair- man of the Board of Mesa Petroleum Com- pany, honored the Tulane Business Forum with his presence on November 4. A gradu- ate of Oklahoma State University with a bachelor of science degree in geology, Pick- ens began his empire in 1956 when he formed Petroleum Exploration, Inc. Three years later, he and his partners in- vested to form another company, Altair Oil and Gas company to conduct exploration and drilling activities in Western Canada. After several years of successful operation, the two were consolidated to form Mesa Petroleum Company in 1964. Today Mesa is engaged in the exploration for and the production of oil and natural gas in all the major U.S. exploratory areas includ- ing the Gulf of Mexico, the Permian, Willis- ton, and Anadarko Basins and the Over- thrust Belt. Mesa ' s headquarters are in Ama- rillo, Texas, with division exploration offices in Denver, Houston and Midland. It has as- sets of over $4 billion. Pickens is involved in many civic and chari- table activities including chairman of the Board of Regents, West League and Boy Scouts of America. T. Boone Pickens believes that a manage- ment ' s primary role is to increase the value of the shareholders ' investment and it is the secret of his success. — Marcey Dolgoff Speakers 27
