Students donate 187 pints to Red Cross
by Robert Tratz
One hundred anil eight y-
seve.n pints of blood were donated by sludenls during Ihe
Red Cross blood drive lasl
Friday according lo Kalhy
Pierce of Campus Ministries.
This number increased from
last spring's collection of IGO
pints.
"I was really excited aboul
the turn oul," said Pierce, "and
nexl spring we're shooting for
200 or more dona I ions." According lo Pierce 200 pints
could have been reached Ihis
run however, many students
failed lo schedule their donations and wen; unable lo give
for lack of lime.
The students w ho were able
to give .should be happy lo
know Ihiil Iheirdunalinns help
lo make up pari of the over
200,000 pinls of blood thai are
collected annually in the 25-
mile radius around ihe Twin
Cities.
After Ihe blood is collected
it is rushed back to Ihe blond
bank within four hours. There
il is tested for blood type and
various diseases. After the
testing is finished the blood is
separated into three different
components, the plasma or
tally pari of the blood, the
platelets which serve to clot
Ihe blood, and the red blood
cells which carry oxygen and
nulrienls lo Ihe body.
Some of ihe blood is also
kepi whole, bul il will only
lasl for about 35 days whereas plasma, if frozen separately, can lasl for an indefinite
period of lime.
In its separate components
blood has many uses. Platel-
els. for example, are used
mostly for cancer victims,
plasma is used for burn victims, red blood cells are given
to patients who are anemic,
and whole blood is given lo
accident victims or patients
who have lost a great deal of
blood.
When asked how many lives
are saved each year through
blood donations, Mobile Unit
Assistant, John Gautsch said
thai he could nol even give an
accurate estimation because,
"Blood is used for so many
ihings that il would be impossible lo stiy exactly how many

I've nevercared much for the human body. Granted, it's
it handsome enough species, and 1 would be Ihe last one lo
argue wilh Ihe Lord's own image. It's jusl lhal il's so
miserably vulnerable. Everylime I contemplate my own
170 pounds of packaged spaghetti I cringe. There's just
loo many things in me that can go bad.
We're till a physiological mess; a stew of fluids,
sponges, ami solids lhal Ihrob, pound, rotate, and squeak
under some loose orchestration from the brain, which is
all Ihe while shedding cells at a phenomenal, and ultimately mortal, rate. We're engineered like Jackson Pollock paintings—organic improbabililies that Tiinction
only as our colorful chemical haywire manages an uncertain synchronicily. Snip one tube; interrupt a single connection; tiller any balance, and my pink envelope returns
to the dust from which il was drawn.
Now. Ask me to give blood and you're asking me to
consider again those malevolent mysteries thai lurk
beneath my flesh. I shudder and wince arid stretch as if lo

an; saved each year."
Gautsch did say given ihe
many different uses for blood,
the number of those who bene-
fit from donations musl reach
into the millions.
When asked if a college was
a good place lo get donations
Gautsch replied lhal a college
is one of ihe besl places to
come on a blood drive. According lo Gautsch mosl sludents
are a I the age where Ihey can
give blood without Iheir parents' consent, and college is a
good place for one to start giving blood, making it an obligation which could last
throughout one's life.
There are rewards involved
with giving blood. Once one
reaches the donation of one
gallon that person will receive
a pin for his or her sacrifice,
nol to mention the respect one
gains from his or her peels.
If one is unable to give
blood, lhat person may be
involved in olher ways. This
year aboul 80 students volunteered their lime lo help wilh
the blood drive. Volunteers
processed blood bags, helped
sludenls lo chairs, typed out
information cards, and served
refreshments.
Sharon Lindahl, sludenl coordinator for this Spring and
previous blood drives was responsible for recruiting and
organizing the sludents who
helped out on Friday. Lindahl
also obtained the help of ihe
R.D.'s and R.A.'s to get students to sign up for donations. Lindahl was praised for
her services wilh ihe blood
drives of the lasl four years.

Audit Shows Med School Loans
Pay for Cars, Divorces and
Vacations
Health and Human Services
investigators say some medical
and dental studenis, eligible for
up lo S80.000 in federal loans,
used the money to buy new cars,
gel divorced and lake vacations.
Abuses have nearly bankrupted orie of the programs, Health
Education Assistance Loan Program, says Inspector General
Richard P. Kusserow.
Proposed Budget Cuts Would
Slash Funds for Neediest
If President Reagan's financial
aid cuts become law, students
from a quarter million families
with incomes below S6.000 a
year would lose an average ol
SI. 160 each, says Allan Oslar,
president of ihe American Association of Slale Colleges and Universities (AASCU].
An AASCU survey of 15.61?
sludenls suggests 500.000 sludenls with family incomes below
the president's proposed S25.000
aid limit, including 105,000 mi-
nrorily students, would lose aid.

Applications Drop
Law school applications have

New Orleans since 1983, and five
percenl al Tulane wilh another
len percent drop possible by fall,
1985, says Susan Krinsky, Tu-
lane's clean of admissions.
Louisiana Slate's medical
school applications dropped to
631 Ihis year after a ten-year
average of nearly 800, adds Dr.
D.J. Guidry, med school admissions director.
Slate educators say the glut of
