Blood Drives An organization which plays a very important part in the New Orleans community is CACTUS. In the campus and community division of CACTUS is the Tulane University Blood Center. With the help of volunteers, profes- sionals from the Tulane Medical Cen- ter, and new and regular donors, Tu- lanes Blood Center makes a valuable contribution to the great New Orleans medical community. The Blood Center sponsors four ma- jor blood drives a year which are held in the University Center. There are two held in the fall and two in the spring. The Navy Officers Reserve Training Corps and the Afro-American Congress of Tulane (ACT), sponsor ad- ditional blood drives. Publicity for the blood drives is han- dled by student volunteers from Tu- lane and Loyola. On the days of the drives, nurses and medical students from Tulane Medical Center are pre- sent to actually draw the blood. How- ever, as important as the volunteers are, a large turnout of donors ensures the success of the blood drives. Close to 2,000 units of blood are col- lected each year as a result of the club- sponsored blood drives. The blood collected at Tulane ' s Blood Center goes to the Tulane Medical Center, Sli- dell Memorial Hospital, and the High- land Hospital in Covington. Donors at the Tulane blood drives are from all over the Tulane communi- ty. Among the donors are professors, staff, members, and students. There are just as many first time donors as there are repeat donors. When asked why they donate, students gave re- sponses such as to be a good citizen, it might help someone, and I ' d like to think that the blood would be here for me if I ever need it. 9 — Laura Haverkamp The Gift of Giving Highly trained nurses explain the step-by-step process of donating hlood to students eager to help the medical community. ii

TGIF: get the weekend started off right Taking a break from classes, Tom Code and Ramon Vinos enjoy listening to the band Dogm Boogm. They were sick of it all. The conditions were deplorable and it was definitely time to take action. It had simply gone too far, the studing all week long, no one to talk to ex- cept a stack of books to the left, stupid ques- tions, nagging teachers, and homework. It was decided that a large force is the best plan of action, so they marched en masse to the quad. A riot? No, merely another TGIF on the quad — a tradition on every other Friday put on by TUCP Recreation. After what Tulane students probably con- sider an horrendous week of school, they want time to wind down, take it easy, and get in touch with a few friends whom they haven ' t seen for at least a day or two. TGIF provides any and everything needed for a relaxing atmosphere: beer, music, food, friends, and animals that make a great excuse for a pick-up. It ' s a time where students and faculty can take advantage of the other side of the academic world, a pleasure principle of sorts. TGIF is the hallmark for a great weekend filled with Greek parties, football games, and late nights at Fat ' s. • — Menge Crawford :ii 26 TGIF
