May blood drive to help solve plasma shortage in hospitals ì I By Tom Jeffries I Of The Print I Every day, 450 units of I blood are needed by the 80 I hospitals served by the Oregon I Trail Chapter of the American ■ Red Cross. To that end, the I College is sponsoring a blood ■drive May 27 in the Communi- Ity Center. The drive will run for four ■ hours, beginning at 10 a.m. land finishing at 2 p.m. “We’re expecting about . 1100,” said Dick Edwards, ASG I activities director. “These last Ifew years we’ve been ex ceeding pur expectations, ■ though. Last year we had I estimated 75 and received a ■ record 101 donors.. So this ■ year we’ll have more cots and [less waiting time. We’re also I planning on having a conceal- I ed area for the squeamish,” he I said. “Because we are a com- | munity college and have close I ties to the community , the Red I Cross likes to try out new I techniques here,” Edwards I said. “So, this year, we’re try- I ing to have people sign up on a I time schedule we’re passing I out around the campus. If peo- I pie do that and stick to the | schedule, it will speed up the I process,” he said. There are some re- I quirements that must be met I before a person may donate I blood. To be- eligible, a donor I must be between the. ages of 17’ I and 65 and weigh at least 110 I pounds. Donors also must hot I have donated blood within the I past eight weeks. I I I I I I tions for most communicable diseases must- defer donating blood for up to two months, depending on the immuniza tion. Anyone having received a tatoo or plasma transfusion must wait six months to donate. In addition, expectant mothers will be deferred until three months after delivery, unless they choose to breastfeed, in which case their wait must be extended to six months. Any person who has ever had hepatitis is ineligible to donate, due to the possiblity of being a lifetime carrier. Each unit of blood collected will be fractioned off into three components: piasma for bum and shock victims, red cells for open heart surgery and anemic patients, and platelets for leukemia and cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment. “I’ll be helping and donating, as will 99 percent of ASG,” said Edwards. “We’re proud of our school. Every year we blow away PCC, and we’re, doing our best to catch up to Mt. Hood.” ■ ® ■ I I» * Scientific Creationism causes serious debate i A hundred and fifty people, sitting intently, stare at the four professors, each an expert in the field of Dar winism, creationism or scientific crea tionism. That was the atmosphere of the Scientific Creationism Debate, which evolved in the Randall Hall Gym, May 13-15. The three professors (Dr. Donald Chittick, an indepen dent biologist; Dr. Richard Thomas, a paleontologist from PSU; and Dr. Marc Feldesman, an anthropologist) conversed for three days, Chittick on II ■K » R btiiitiiiiutuiu 19 20 2.04 0.36 ijw iaKBi B3 |pi 11111 • 1 |w I 5 3 issues, used the occasion to at tack the policies of Secretary of the Interior James Watt. Specifically, AuCoin took issue with the opening of certain oil and natural gas leases off the coast of Northern California, a plan which Watt supports, and which AuCoin called “cockamamie. Oregonians who love clean beaches should stand forwarned,” said Au Coin. “Ocean currents know no state boundaries. We’re talking about environmental disaster.” Nan Hage-Herrmann, designer of the pavilion, spent much of her speech thanking the numerous businesses and organizations which have con tributed services and materials free-of-charge. She also thank? ed the College, saying, “Where would we be. without them?” After the ribbons had been untied, the crowd mingled with the dignitaries in touring the site and being entertained by an exhibition of Native American Art and the fiddle music of the group, “Pepper’s Black.” MM 0| 17 38.62 -0.18 -0.04 j— ■ Some illnesses and medica- fl tions require a deferral time.

After his opening, remarks, Director Herrmann introduced Sue Plaisance, president of the Association for Environmnen- tal Education, an organization which was been at the forefront of the development of the center. Plaisance mentioned three of the uses of the center as being a wildlife habitat, a recreation area for the public and a recycling project. “But,” said Plaisance, “now that the actual construction is finished, our current thrust is tp develop environmental education pro grams.” Congressman AuCoin called the pavilion’s completion “remarkable. It’s. fitting that the facility is dedicated to the con cept of environmental educa tion, /because environmental education has never been more important,” he said.
