Donors Rise; Record Set; We All Win The annual Harding blood draws have become one more tradition that serve more than just Harding students. The American Red Cross Blood Services aided by the local White County chapter and Harding volunteers hold draws each semester to help supplement the loca l blood supply. For the first time this year, the campus chapter of the White County American Red Cross Auxiliary assisted at the draws. Marti n Owens, president of the campus auxiliary, directed the work of the newly-formed group. Harding smashed the state record for pints collected at one draw when 1,174 pints were bagged at the draw conducted March 22·25. A goal of 1 ,200 pints was set for the spring 1983 draw conducted March 7-10. The first draw was held in the month of September. The draw saw 785 units collected, blowing the top off the A.R.C.B.5. goal of 380 units. The December draw, always crucial because of the increased need for blood over the holiday season, netted 508 pints. Dean of Men Eddie Campbell said the main reason for the excellent donor turnout was that students gave in honor of four former students; Chris Becker, Deanna Dandridge, lee Hamm, and Ken Rose. . Owens said that he never had problems finding volunteers; 40 to 50 students volunteered for every draw. Regarding the goals set by Harding, he reminded students that the purpose of the blood draw was not meeting goals .but helping others. About 26 percent of the student body have participated in draws in the past year. "I am impressed with the consistency of the blood draws and the par· ticipation of the students. This proves the students are interested in the community and helping others," Campbell said. ~ - Leon Johnson Red CrOll technician labels some of the 1,174 units of blood collected during the spring 1982 blood draw.
