KU blood drive begins
Blood and time are all that are needed for a person to make one kind of contribution to society.
Red Cross Blood Drive registration is underway at the University of Kansas.
"We're shooting for 800 pints this time," Kelly Vogt, blood drive coordinator, said Tuesday. "That would break the record of 754 they last fall."
Blood may be donated in the Kansas Union Ballroom Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of next week from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Registration to donate blood will continue through this Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Union, Wescoc and Summerfield.
Vogt said that after two days of registration many persons had signed up to donate blood but that there weren't as many donations for Wednesday as for Monday or Tuesday.
Although a person can donate blood without registering, Vogt said, registration will eliminate the long lines and waiting that occurred last year.
"We are taking 12 to 15 donors every 15 minutes," Vogt said. "This allows for a few walk-ins, that is, people who didn't register but still want to give blood."
HE SAID THE PROCEDURE FOR GIVING blood took about 45 minutes to an hour. Blood pressure, blood type, pulse and heart rate were asked questions asked questions about his medical history.
"The actual giving of the blood only takes about 10 minutes." Voft said.
He said that after a presion had donated blood he was given cookies and orange juice and asked to wait and rest 15 to 20 minutes to build up his strength.
"The Stables is giving a free draw of beer to everyone who gives blood." Vodit said.
Another incentive be offered is the donor buddy program, Vogt said. Any who requests a buddy will be accompanied by a friend and send him moral support as he gives blood.
“这 might be a way to make new friends,” Vogt said. “It’s just a little extra incentive to help people who might be uneasy about donating blood.”
Jo Byers, director of the Douglas County Cross, said almost every one could give birth.
"Anyone who has had hepatitis or is on medication for diabetes is permanently deferred from giving blood," Bvers said.
HE SAIED OTHER PEOPLE who couldn't donate blood were those who weighed in 110 pounds, or who were underweight or had allergies, sore throats or colds.
"A person who only weighs 110 pounds can't afford to lose a full pint of blood as easily as a person who weighs more." Beyers say people are only temporarily deferred.
There aren't any diet restrictions for people who donate, although it is better if
the donor doesn't eat hamburgers and french fries immediately before coming in, Byers said. She said eating fatty foods such as bacon, may help the fat which would show up in the blood.
Kidnap suspect gets March arraignment
"If the blood has very much fat in it, then the by-products rather than the whole blood can still be used." Byers said. "But we still need some whole blood."
Robert Wagner, J., Baldwin, was bound over Tuesday for arraignment in Douglas County District Court on charges of aggrieved battery and kidnapping.
County Judge Mike Elwilr ruled after a hearing of about an hour that the evidence presented showed probable cause that Wagner had committed the acts charged.
The charges relate to an incident Feb. 7 in Baldwin Hall, about seven miles south of St. Louis police officer, was allegedly assaulted by police officer and Jimmy Pat McGregor, 31, Baldwin Hall.
Shute, the only witness called by Mike Malone, assistant county attorney, testified that he was placing Wagner under arrest for driving without a license and without a valid driver's license in the face. Shute said he pulled Wagner to the ground and bean scuffled with him.
Sule said he had stopped Wagner and McGinnis about an hour earlier in Baldwin City for driving without a license, and had driven the driver, tickets for the two offenses.
WAGNER CALLED FOR MCGINNIS to help him, Shute said, and then McGinnis told Shute to let Wagner go, and pointed a gun at Shute.
Tim Deginger, Wagner's attorney, moved for a dismissal of the charges against him. The judge was making an illegal arrest. Elwell disagreed, and said that Shute was an employee of the Baldwin City Police Department and was performing his duty to prevent abuse.
DEGINGER MATERIAL REPEATED OBJECTIONS to the testimony of Shute in which Shute made statements about what he said and said such testimony by Shute was hearsey.
Ewell overruled Deginger's objections, and said McGinnis's statements could be admissable as long as McGinnis was in the custody of the defendant Wagner when he made them.
Shute said that after McGinnis pointed a gun at him, he alawered Wagner to get off the ground. He said Wagner then took his 38 caliber service revolver from his holster.
Wagner and McGinnis then drove him in to the Baldwin City, Shute said. McGinnis
shoved him away from the car, and then Wagner and McGinnis drove away. he said.
The defense presented no testimony. Elwell set Wagner's aarrangement at 10:30 p.m. and released him.
Shute said he walked about a mile to a farmhouse and called his dispatcher.
armmousse and called his dispatcher?
McGinnis is scheduled to appear Thursday in Douglas County Court for a preliminary hearing, also on charges of kidnapping and aggrigated assault.
Both McGinnis and Wagner are being held in Douglas County jail on $2,000 bond.
The Buckley Amendment, recent legislation that has already affected student privacy, might also be affecting the world of college athletics.
By MARK ZELIGMAN Kansan Staff Reporter
Law affects athletes' records
The legislation says a student is entitled to see his own academic records. No one else can see his records, however, without written permission from the student.
One side effect of the law is that an athlete afraid of losing eligibility in his sport because of low grades could refuse to allow his grades to be verified by the NCAA or the Big Eight conference in the case of the University of Kansas.
BOB SKAHAN ACADEMIC COU-
SELOR is in charge of leading KU athletes'
tournaments.
"As it stands now," Skahan said Tuesday, "if a young man decided not to have his grades released, then we can't. He can't participate unless he's eligible. But the only way to determine if he's eligible is to look at his grades."
Skahan said the athletic department was waiting for a ruling from Mike Davis, University counsel; the Big Eight and the NCAA on how to handle student records.
J. Hammond McNish, faculty representative to the Big Eight, said this subject would be discussed next week at a meeting of conference faculty representatives and athletic directors in Kansas City, Mo.
DAVIS SAID that theoretically, the NCAA and the Big Eight were in the same position as everyone else regarding the Buckley Amendment.
"The student does have the right to prevent the athletic department from releasing the grades," Davis said. "You should be prepared for the conference" or see how they would react."
Chuck Neinas, commissioner of the Big Eight, said he discussed this problem with the registrars of each conference school last November.
Winn cosponsors bill to regulate college students' food stamp use
He said they decided to prepare a certification form for each athlete that would include a statement by the athlete allowing the conference to review his academic records on request. This form is still being reviewed, he said.
Winn, said Tuesday that Winn had received a considerable number of letters complaining of abuses in the program. He also cited a controversy over abuses at the University at Berkeley and other universities that had appeared in national publications.
Rep. Larry Winn Jr, announced Tuesday he was conspiring a bill that would prohibit college students from receiving food stamps as long as they were being claimed as tax dependents by families ineligible to receive stamps.
The bill, cosponsored by Rep. Jerry Litton, D-Mo., would make the regulation a permanent part of the Food Stamp Act. The U.S. Department of Agriculture put the same regulation into effect Jan. 10, but it expires June 30.
In a prepared statement, Winn said he was cosponsoring the bill because of constituent sentiment and because of a concern that he had ordered food stamp aid might not be getting it.
In the press release, Winn said recent surveys showed that many students took advantage of loopholes qualifying them for free stamps. However, he said he was aware that some students from poor families received stamps.
This legislation would only prohibit students who are not truly eligible, he said, whose those families still claim them as deserving and don't qualify for food stamps.

If the athlete refuses to allow his records to be checked, Neinas said, and his grades are questionable, his athletic eligibility could be jeopardized.
Neinas said that if a question arrose about an athlete's grades, he would ask the school's faculty representative to send the student's transcript to the conference's office.

Skahan said that although he needed an athlete's permission this semester to release his grades to the Big Eight, no one had yet refused permission. He said he didn't think the Buckley Amendment would heavily affect college athletics.
"I don't foresee any of that happened," Neimas said. "We're talking about an extreme situation. The registrars and the conference complete cooperation."
