Blood-typing Drive Fills
y*eed for Reference File
By CISSY FITZPATRICK
All that is needed is a table,
an electric outlet, and about
five minutes of a student's time
to possibly save a life. Steve
Roberts, advisor to the Un
iversity Health Services, said
Roberts was speaking of the
blood drive sponsored by the
University Health Services and
Student Government Associa
tion. which began this week
This drive is an effort to es
tablish a blood file bank for
emergency reference and to
inform students of their own
blood type in case of personal
emergency This file would be
activated when needed
According to Roberts. The
need for such a drive is vital to
any community There is no
systematic method of obtaining
either large donations or rare
types of blood in case of emer
gency in this vicinity. And with
a student body of over 17.000 the
University Health Services
must more or less be prepared
for anything
The drive, organized by stu
dents and continued by student
participation and student volun
teers. is primarily for student
needs
CAN T REFUSE HEIJ*
However. Roberts pointed
out. the school could not moral
ly refuse the request of any
area hospital that had gone
through all of its available
channels and still had a need for
blood So in a limited way this
file will be open to the commun
ity if needed
The drive, although spon
sored by UHS and SGA is also
aided by Alpha Phi Omega, a
national service organization,
the Interfratemity Council and
the Panhellenic Council

Previously in ease of emer
gency or natural catastrophe m
which large amounts of blood
were needed, the University
asked people on the street to
volunteer blood and then hoped
that someone would have the
correct type needed
The only other possibility of
obtaining large amounts of
blood was through Dean Wil
liam Tate, who arranged for
massive donations from fra
ternity houses or men's resi
dence halls. These methods, as
Roberts pointed out, were risky
and time consuming at best
This drive differs from the
annual drive sponsored by the
American Red Cross and the
ROTC department, Roberts
said, in that the UHS-SGA drive
wants only blood types, not ac
tual blood donations
NO BLOOD BANK
Roberts feels because there
is no large blood bank in the
vicinity and the University does
not have the facilities to store
such blood, the proposed drive
will provide an effective means
of meeting future blood needs
The drive is set up to insure a
system of donations in which
the University has first priori-

Health Services Conduct Mood-typing Drive
A student gets his finger pricked Monday night
by a University Health Services stall member
in a campus-wide blood-typing drive sponsored
by the Health Services and the Student Govern
ment Association Fifty-six students had their
blood typed at Russell and 79 more samples
were analyzed at Center Myers Hall in the lirst
night of the two-week drive, aimed at establish
ing a file of blood types for emergency refer
ence The drive will continue in the lobbies ot
Reed and Creswell halls tonight from 6 to 8. and
in various fraternity and sorority houses next

the least burden on the student.
UHS forsees that the main
problem of the drive is that
some students may participate
with the idea of learning their
blood type while not having the
remotest intention of later do-

emphasized. "The whole idea of
the drive is to ultimately donate
blood if needed. "
' The chances are that a stu

participation the less the
chance of being called.’ he

"Completion of these pro
jects is an intricate process."
Hudson explained. "The larg
est growth at the University
has been in terms of numbers
of students because in the
past seven yean, student en
rollment has approximately
doubled. Therefore in our
case there must be assess
ment of existing facilities of

REQUEST REVIEWED
According to Hudson, the
President of the University
receives at the beginning of
each year a building need
request from the Board of
Regents and refers them to
the vice presidents and deans
of the various college depart
ments to determine on a foo
tage basis what additional
spaces are needed.
The requests for spaces are
screened at each level on a
critical need basis and then
returned to the President
who. in turn, reviews the pro
posals and submits them to
the Board of Regents. Hudson
said that the Board also re-

ceives similar requests from
26 other schools in Georgia.
In reviewing the applica
tions. the Board of Regents
determines most critical
needs and converts them to
money For example, a sci
ence building would cost more
than a building for education
al needs. This capital need
may amount to $15 million,
but naturally, all of the his
cannot be funded, he point
out.
Again the list is narrowed,
and the .Board, working
through state offices, even
tually submits its proposals to
the State Budget Bureaus.
The Governor then presents
his budget to support the pro
gram.
FOUR-YEAR JOB
The priority process gener
ally takes a year with the ini
tial list appearing in summer,
and legislative approval com
ing the following spring. After
approval, about a year is nec
essary to plan the building
and two years needed for con
struction — overall, a four-
year program.
In order to take a priority,
the need must be extremely
urgent. "The University
needs an entirely new student
center where students can
have a common meeting
place. About 800 students
commute to Georgia,” Hud
son explained, "but when it
comes to priorities, this will
have to wait and give way to
other needs such as educa
tion.
‘‘The education school’s
facilities are deplorable at the
moment. It is too bad that
conditions must reach this
level before a need is recog
nized and given priority.
"The school of education’s
growth has been phenomonal
due to research afforded bv
Federal funds and an increase
in faculty. So the education
department is in dire straits
at the moment, waiting for the
building now under construc
tion. which will cost about 5V4
million." he said
The old C-J Building, erect
ed in 1927 for the combined
schools of Commerce and
Journalism, has now been
turned over to the business
school. It is being remodeled
and added to - the total of
wliich wiil cost more than the
original building, he declared.
The Journalism school
moved from C-J to the new J-
P complex into a section cost
ing approximately $1.5 mil
lion of a $6 million allocation.
The Journalism school had an
urgent need for a new building
due to badly crowded condi
tions.
It is because of the Un
iversity’s tremendous growth
tliat needs are so urgent.
Hudson commented.
‘‘In less than 10 years
time," Hudson cited as an
example, “the Science Cen
ter, originally thought to be
too large, has now already
changed tremendously but
putting in more buildings to
accomodate the needs ’’
