Two hundred more blood donors are needed Friday for the Red Cross bloodmobile, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of Watkins hospital, said today. Dr. Canuteson said the donors must be over 21 years old.
To register to give blood, prospective donors should either call Watkins hospital, 890, or the Red Gross, 405.
The bloodmobile will be in Military Science hall Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Colonel Atwood said the bloodmobile schedule will be as follows:
Donations at first were to be taken from ROTC students only, Lt. Col. Bayard Atwood, assistant professor of air science and tactics, said. But a failure of ROTC personnel to return parental release blanks caused the donations to be open to the student body.
Colonel Atwood said Tuesday is fairly well filled. Wednesday at 11 am. about 15 honors are needed. There will be room for more Wednesday afternoon. The schedule has not been completed for Thursday.
The collection is strictly for the armed forces, Colonel Atwood said, and will be overseas in the form of liquid or plasma immediately.
Tuesday: 9:30 a.m. to noon and
1:30 to 5 p.m.; Wednesday and
Thursday: 8 a.m. to noon and 2 to
4 o'clock; Friday 9 a.m. to noon and
1:4, 4 p.m.
Red Cross officials stated that such a diet must be followed if the blood given is to be usable.
A Red Cross diet bulletin issued to prospective donors says that "to ensure usable blood, donors must always be available at least four hours before donating."
These foods include fat meat, milk, peanut butter, ice cream, fried foods, cheese, nuts, salad oil, butter, eggs and pie.
A suggested breakfast for a blood donor would be fruit or juice, black coffee, toast with jelly but no butter. For lunch, lean beef, potatoes with cheese, potato salad, jelly but no butter, fruit or juice, black coffee and cake but no pie.
The colonel added that any student can probably be squeezed in at any time during any of the four days.

Paris—(U.R.)-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his Republican supporters the green light today to go ahead with the "Ike for President" campaign, but said he would become a candidate only if he got "a clear cut call to political duty."
Eisenhower Gives GOP Green Light On Nomination
"I would not seek nomination for political office."
Apparently the general plans to continue his activities as head of Western European armies until he is convinced there is a strong movement in the United States to draft him.
In a statement read to reporters, Eisenhower said that Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge (R.-Mass.) gave "an accurate account" Sunday of his political feelings but added:
"Of course there is no question of the right of American citizens to organize in pursuit of their common convictions.
"Under no circumstances will I ask for relief from this assignment (his Supreme Allied command) in order to seek nomination for political office and I shall not participate in the pre-convention activities of others who may have such an intention with respect to me." Eisenhoower said.
"I realize that Senator Lodge and his associates are exercising this right in an attempt to place me before next July a duty that would transcend my present responsibilities.
"In the absence, however, of a clear-cut call to political duty, I shall continue to devote my full intention to the performance of the vital tasks to which I am assigned."
Eisenhower made his statement, which was read for him by Brig. Gen. Charles T. Lanham, his press chief, in response to the announcement by Senator Lodge at a Wash- ington meeting. The day he was going to enter Eisenhower in the New Hampshire primaries in March as Republican candidate.
"Senator Lodge's announcement of Sunday as reported in the press gives an accurate account of the general tenor of my political convictions and of my Republican voting record," Eisenhower said.
Amplifying Eisenhower's own statement, his press chief General Lanham said to correspondents:
"General Eisenhower does not intend to say anything further on this matter. He hopes that this statement will demonstrate his concern as an American citizen in problems that the American people must solve. He hopes also that it will convince all Americans and those of the other North Atlantic treaty organization countries that he views with the utmost seriousness the responsibilities of the post to which he is presently assigned."
