Page 3 Page 5 College to host annual Red Cross blood drive By Doug Vaughan Of The Print The bi-annual blood drive at Clackamas Community Col ledge will be held Oct. 15 in the Community Center. The drive will be between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. A brief physical will be given to each donor to assure that they are able to give blood. Dennis Donin, Red Cross represen tative warned people that they should at least have breakfast or lunch before they give blood or problems could arise. Each unit of blood could save three people’s lives, said Donin. The blood received will be separated into three areas (plasma, red blook cells and platelets). Plasma, a liquid substance in blood, aids pa tients in the recovery from burns or shock. Red blood cells are needed in any type of surgery. The most important element in blood, according to Donin, is platelets. They aid in producing blood clots of vital importance with leukemia and cancer patients. To aid the promotion, ASG officers are helping with the drive. Any donors are ask ed to sign up before the date and schedule a time that is con venient for them. To remind students of the drive and per suade them to donate, in-class announcements will be presented Thursday and Fri day. “One reason why people during the four-hour period. do not donate is because they say they were never asked or Donin sees no reason why the that it wasn’t convenient for students at the College will not them” explained Donin. “We donate their blood. During his are having people ask them, presentation at the ASG and it will be right here so it will meeting, he expressed that if a person will live to be 73 there is be convenient, too.” The blood drive is ex a 90 percent chance that they pected to accumulate a will be in a situation where they minimum of 80 units of blood will need blood. College may donate 5 acres for armory By Kristi Blackman Of The Print Positive as well as negative responses have filtered into the President’s office this week in regard to an armory that may be built by the National Guard on College property in the future. “So far the responses are ten-to-four in favor of the ar mory,” said Gloria Tomlin, ex ecutive secretary to the presi dent, who has been receiving calls from interested members of the community. Concerned people in favor of the armory feel that it will serve as a good community center as well as space for classes and college use. Some people felt that the U.S. needs to be prepared militarily and it would be a step forward in regards to defense, and an anonymous caller on campus felt the structure would benefit the College criminal justice pro gram. Opposing sides do not like the idea of military presence on a community college campus nor any type of a community property. Worries stem from civil disorder to the fear of possible break-ins of military weapons if the National Guard decides to store them there. One man felt the military in fluence could cause many social problems in the com munity. The President’s office is eager to hear the community opinions regarding the armory and any comments can be made by calling the College, ext. 405. IF YOU CAN keep your head while all around yo*> others are losinS theirs, you pro bably don’t belong in the Community Center.
