Braving the needle
T
hree times every year students come
up short. Short a pint of blood, that
is. And each time the Snake River
Blood Service departed from campus with
over 300 pints of blood donated by Idaho
students.
Once in the fall and twice in the spring,
students sign up for an appointment to
contribute a pint per person. In most
cases entire living groups participate.
The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, for example,
contributed 100 percent and then

in November and 51 members donating
53 pints in February.
Winning the blood drive competition
not only gave the TKE members a sense
of pride, but a trophy as well.
" We beat 'em by a gallon in

Warnock of the competition.
"The blood drive is an incredibly successful
event," said Barry Bonafas, one of
the blood drive coordinators.
The year's third blood drive was in
April. 0

required to rest a short while before leaving to
prevent any side effects from their loss of blood.
