12 --- Wednesday, October 7, 1970 University Daily Kansan Photos by Mike Radencich Donor's 'Ordeal' Begins with a Blood Sampling Sometimes It Helps Not to Take a Look Blood Donations at KU Fall Short on First Day By KATHY KRUGER Kansan Staff Writer "I was so shook during the whole process I read my Spanish," Kathy Heffernon, Jola senior, commented Tuesday afternoon after giving blood for the first time. Miss Hefnerson was one of about 70 donors giving blood in the first four hours of the opening day of the Boulevard blood drive. Jo Eyers, executive director of the Boulevard Blood Drive, would continue through Thursday in the Jawhawk Room of the Kansas Union Hours for blood drawing on Wednesday, p. Wednesday and 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Thursday. The quota for this fall's drive is 600 pints or 200 donors a day. With only a half hour left for donations when Mrs. Byers was interviewed, it appeared that blood donated Tuesday would total below the quota as only about 70 people had given up to that time. KU's quota has never been met in the bloods. The goal of that fault was 750 pints but on one occasion a bottle had Dou Scheffner, Manitou Springs, Colo., senior and chairman of the blood drive, said he felt most people hesitated to give blood because of nor-rifficheffner, a donor himself, said, "It's not that bad." Miss Hesserrion explained that she was a little nervous before giving blood but that the actual process did not bother her. The only pain involved, she said, was "when they stick the needle in. It hurts.” A first-time donor, she said, “I just wanted to give blood. Appalling to the competitive spirit of some KU students, Scheffner pointed out that Kansas State University nearly always met its quota. He was surprised that he had recruited 16,000 students, it was difficult to find 600 donors. He commented that there seemed to be plenty of "husky guys walking around campus" who could give in place of the "rail-looking girls" who were "feeling like they don't meet the minimum weight requirement." Qualifications for becoming a donor are fairly simple, according to Mrs. Byers. The individual should be in generally good health and weigh at least 50 pounds. A person who has suffered hepatitis C or other infectious diseases and those returning from Vietnam must wait at least two years before they may become donors. She suggested that those who wished to give blood out before going to the Union. Donors are under no condition to participate. The blood donor should allow an hour for the process. Giving blood involves registration, giving a short medical history, the blood drawing itself and a fingerprint to verify that light snack before leaving the blood drawing area. After the blood is collected, it is sent to the center in Wichita for processing. The blood then distributes to clients then distributes to patients. BE PART OF THE INFORMED AMERICA Come Hear: Rev.
