Financial Aid Q&A
With Financial Aid Forms (FAF) now
available students will have many question. The
following is the first of a two-part series of ques­
tions and answers to help the confusion.
Q-My friend and I both applied for aid at the
same time, why did he/she get more aid than I.
Her family has a bigger house and her parents
make more money?
Q-I am planning to transfer to another college at
the end of winter term, will I be able to transfer
my aid?
Q-My (my family’s) financial circumstances have
changed since I mailed my FAF/Pell Grant ap­
plication, what should I do?
A-Under some circumstances you may be eligi­
ble for MORE financial aid. You should contact a
financial aid counselor.
Q-I was turned down for aid last year. Should I
still apply this year?
A-Possibly. Only Pell and Oregon Need Grants
can be transferred to other institutions. Ar­
rangements must usually be made in advance for
loans and work-study funding as these ARE
NOT transferrable. A financial aid counselor can

application?
A-Yes! The more people in your family (spouse,
brother(s), sister (s), parent (s)) who are enrolled
at least halftime, the greater the chance you will
be eligible for financial aid. Half-time usually
means taking at least six credit hours per term.
A-No! You are automatically considered an in­
dependent student. However, in many cir­
cumstances you must provide proof of your
ward-of-the court status. Check with a financial
aid counselor for more details.
Blood donors sought for drive
By T. Jeffries
Of The Print
The need for 485 units of
blood for hospitals around
Oregon is not being met by
donations, according to the
Oregon Red Cross. As a result,
hospitals are only receiving
50-80 percent of their daily
needs. To meet these re­
quirements, the Red Cross will
be holding a blood drive in the
mall of Clackamas Community
College Community Center
Monday.
The drive will be held from
11 a.m. - 3 p.m. and student
programs specialist David
Buckley is aiming for a goal of
110 units of blood. Last term
only 79 units were donated,
but spring term of 1982 saw a
record 108 units received.
“We do well for our enroll­
ment,” Buckley said. “But we
have a hard time getting new
people to give blood. I see a lot
of the same people giving each
time. Then there are the peo­
ple who will give once, and
then never again.”.
The blood itself is broken
down into three elements, all of
which will be used within a
week. The plasma portion is
used for treatment of burn and
shock victims, while the
separated red cells are used for

anemia patients and in surgery.
A typical heart by-pass opera­
tion requires a minimum of 10
units.
The greatest need is for
the third element of donated
blood, platelets. Platelets are
used to replace the suppressed
bone marrow function of
cancer and leukemia patients-
on chemotherapy. A chemo­
therapy patient needs six to 10
units of platelets up to three
times a week to cover those
lost. When platelet therapy
was less available 75 percent of
all chemotherapy patients died
from the resulting internal
bleeding. The need is so great
that in the past the Pacific
Regional Blood Service was
forced to import platelet con­
centrates from other areas.
Anyone between the ages
of 17 and 66 may give blood
providing they meet certain re­
quirements. They must weigh
over 110 pounds and not have
given blood within two months.
Anyone who has been sick at
all within the last two weeks, or
had a tattoo recently is ineligi­
ble to give blood. Also, any
person having had hepatitis in
the past is put on permanent
deferral and is therefor ineligi­
ble.
Not all of the requirements
are unbendable, however. Per­
sons over 66 years of age may
donate blood if given permis­
sion to by their doctor within
two weeks of the donation
date.
Buckley concluded, “Get­
ting new donors is very impor­
tant. Each person who gives
blood is helping to save as
many as three lives with every
pint.”
