M DRE THA PRI CK IN FINGER Students Support The Bloodm obile n the twelfth of Sep- tember, an activity of great importance took place on campus. Many of the students took part in the annual bloodmobile drive. Early on the twelfth, sev- eral students assisted the bloodmobile by setting up Eve different units in the student commons area. Later, around 3:00 p.m., the same students returned and aided the bloodmobile by helping to load the truck with the units. We discovered that giving blood was a serious matter. We learned that one must eat well, must weigh at least 110 pounds, have nerves of steel, and have no needle fright before we would be likely candidates to give a pint of blood to save a life. For some of us this was the The Early Childhood Specialist Program is designed to train how to work with children, how to under- stand them, and how they develop. A community service the college of- fers is the pre-school for young chil- dren. This area is located in the new Technical Arts building, and located on one end of the area is the en- closed play area for the children. 8f Comm unity first time to give, while oth- ers left claiming this made them tive or more pints they had given over the past three years. The nurses and others that assisted in taking that pre- cious life-giving substance from us were thankful for the many people who took part in the drive by giving and for those who worked. Usually we reach our goal of 100 pints, but this time we came short of the goal. All types of blood were re- ceived, from A-positive to B- negative, on this day. We felt that was an important un- tethered even t, because someda y the pint we gave may be the one to save our own life, or that of another student. This was our way of helping our community in our rainbow of events. . fax: J.. '. ' 1' Ft- ' Y . ' J ffl' P2 .igzfls-Ajax... sc ,fi X' ' my 1 ' - V ss . .
