DONORS SOUGHT Red Cross Needs Blood 'Save A Life'
By EVELYN RAILSBACK
Just two weeks after Pearl Harbor a committee of students told Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of Watkins hospital, that the student body would like facilities to give blood for use in army and navy casualties. Yet when a Red Cross mobile unit is scheduled to come to the campus and has asked for 400 volunteers, only
75 students have given their names.
The unit will come to the Lawrence Community building April 8 and 9 and would come again before school is out if students were sufficiently interested to make their coming worth while.
Those who wish to volunteer can call the Lawrence Red Cross headquarters in the Community building, telephone number 803 within the next week to make appointments as donors. Those under 21 can get blanks at the hospital for parental consent.
All white or colored persons between the ages of 21 and 60 who are not anemic, who have normal hemoglobin and normal blood pressure, who weigh over 110 pounds and who have had no recent serious illnesses are eligible to give blood.
Blood donors are asked to eat no fatty foods for four hours before the blood is to be extracted because fat in the blood makes it milky and unusable. A local anaesthetic is applied in the arm and blood is removed in about eight minutes. The process takes about an hour and is painless. Those who give blood should not undertake strenuous activity immediately afterward, but there will be no interference with activities.
There are more than 12 pints of blood in the average body and one pint can be replaced within two hours. Dr. Canuteson stated. All the red blood cells are replaced within 2 or 3 days. There is no harm done to the body and those with slightly high blood pressure actually benefit. Blood can be given safely every eight weeks.
Schools Combine Medical Depts.
The Red Cross mobile unit which is coming to Lawrence has a staff of experts, a doctor and three nurses, who are specialists in their work.
Knox College and the Galesburg (III.) Cottage Hospital School of Nursing are jointly offering a five-year course leading to the degree of bachelor of science in nursing and the graduate nurse certificate.

Former Student Returns From Action In Pacific
"Pearl Harbor stands out in the memory of everyone who was there above every exciting experience he might have had since," Lt. Robert Haynes said in an interview yesterday. "It took about two weeks to recover from the stunning blow," he added.
Lt. Haynes has lived in Lawrence all his life. He took V-7 training at Prairie State, New York City, and was sent overseas in September, '41. One brother, Eugene L. Haynes, business '39, is an ensign on a Navy battleship now. Another brother, Marion Haynes, is a sophomore in the College.
Following the attack at Pearl Harbor, Lt. Haynes, engineering officer, took part in raids in the South Pacific, using both Pearl Harbor and Guadalcanal as bases. He was on the first ship to enter the harbor at the initial Guadalcanal campaign.
Lt. Haynes was enthusiastic about the Navy, going so far as to say that "the Navy has everything, including the best and most abundant food I have seen for a while." When asked about the Navy on the Hill, he said that he thought it was a good idea to train men here, and he felt that chances of rapid advancement for these men after they have some experience were good.
Wind Tunnel Built at Pasadena
Study of level flight speeds of more than 450 miles an hour is the purpose of a new $2,100,000 wind tunnel now under construction at Pasadena by the California Institute of Technology.
"We didn't have any hits there; we were lucky," Lt. Haynes continued, "but as we edged out of the harbor, the magazines of the Arizona blew up, and we could feel the heat from the fire."
While he requested that the name of his ship not be mentioned because of military reasons, he did say that the destroyer on which he was stationed was one of the first to open fire at Pearl Harbor, and it was officially credited with shooting down six torpedo planes.
