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.

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.

Women In The Clergy The Newcomb Women ' s Center spon- sored an intriguing and informative panel of speakers concerned with the role of women in the clergy. The guest panel included Sister Mary Mertzlufft from the Catholic Center, Reverend Melissa Draper from UNO, and Rabbi Judith Zabarenko. They centered their discussions on where women fit within the structure of religion. However, the topic of spirituality and the question of whether wom- en might have a better affinity and deeper understanding of spiritual matters filled a major portion of the lecture. Some believe that the greater intuitiveness and more com- passionate nature of the woman makes this extremely possible. Many more lectures and panel discussions of this type and calliber were sponsored by the Women ' s Center in an attempt to make the public more aware of the changing atti- tudes surrounding women in leader- ship positions in today ' s society. — Marcey Dolgoff Rabbi Judith Zabarenlto fights Jewish tradition which is known for its chauvinistic attitudes. She discusses the importance of a woman ' s role within the Jewish home.
