In Search Of Young

unter Blood makes the College its
H year. The bloodmobile parks on front

temporary home three Limes each academic

campus for easy access for all donors.

Giving blood has become a campus

tradition. The faculty and administration

help set the tone for the blood-drive by allotting time

in their busy schedules to donate blood. Many

students follow their example and find the time to

give blood. The Hunter Blood representative, Tim

Keffalas, says that they distribute 170 pints of blood

daily to area hospitals. Hunter Blood appreciates the

student involvement in this worthy cause.

The Red Cross targets college campuses because

of the easy access to a large number of healthy

young people. Most donors agree that giving blood is

not a favorite activity, but they feel helping others is

enough of a reward. Amy Isley said she wants to give

blood to help especially the children in the hospital.

Realizing that donating blood is the gift of life

motivates even the most squeamish of students.

Signing up is the easy part; the actual donation takes

courage. Those who do participate are easy to spot

because of the sticker they wear which reads, “ Be

nice to me, I gave blood today.’’

Jonathan Yoder steps up to the fountain

area in the dining hall in Cathcart. He is

an avid supporter of the Hunter Blood-

drive. He believes that everyone should

make the time to give the “gift of life”

because it is a meaningful experience.
