man Dave White yesterday stressed the need for more SC students to sign up to give blood. The drive is still 550 pints away from the set goal of 700.
“Although the sign-ups did well, we are still a long way from filling our quota.” White announced. “Not enough emphasis can be put on the need for donations as we are on the shy side of one-quarter from meeting our set goal of 700 pints.
The sign-up booth is located at the base of the Student Union at the corner of 36th St. and University. It is open from 10 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.
“The actual time of the donation.” White explained, “is only 20 minutes and contrary to many beliefs, the process is entirely painless.”
