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.
