400 will be published in Wednesday’s Trojan.
Miss Unmack stressed that these appointments must be kept, as the complete success of the Trojan bloodbank campaign depends upon punctuality. No one with head colds or other minor ailments will be accepted for plasma giving.
Every trainee giving will be excused from physical fitness Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week: “Donors may eat anything they wish,” said Miss Unmack, “but they should avoid fatty and greasy foods as much as possible.’’
Setting a national record in the two bloodbank unit trips to Troy last summer, campus trainees and civilians contributed a total of 747 pints to the Red Cross. Again in January the plasma unit received more than 400 pints in the second SC drive.
Plasma-obtaining units throughout the country are being asked by army and navy authorities to secure more than 10,000,000 pints in 1944, as compared to 5,000,000 in 1943. “This third trip of the bloodbank unit to SC will be another opportunity for Troy to contribute its share in achieving the national quota,” Miss Unmack concluded. ,
