Jim West. Trojan Blood Drive chairman, said that “if this trend continues, there is no doubt in my mind that we will beat UCLA in total pints.”
Joel S. Wachs, ASUCLA president, sent a blood drive challenge to ASSC President Bill Steigerwalt yesterday stating in part that “the student body of UCLA is prepared to prove that cur university is far superior in student enthusiasm, spirit and cooperation.”
West pointed out that ASUCLA President Wachs’ letter mentioned that “this contest will determine once and for all that UCLA has no rival.”

“Last year, after the first day of signing up, we had collected a total of four pints. At the end of the first day this year, we had 153 pints. This illustrates a trend in the students at USC —a trend toward more student participation in all events,”
