BLOOD DRIVE
BY JOE PREINER
jpreiner@kansan.com
The KU Blood Drive is sticking around campus all week.
The Kansas Union, Lied Center and Oliver Hall will serve as temporary blood donation clinics when the drive begins Monday. The drive will also set up in Phi Kappa Psi, McCollum Hall and Hashinger Hall later in the week.
Students interested in donating blood or volunteering can schedule appointments or drop by one of the locations.
Bey Krebs of the American Red Cross said the goal for this fall's drive was 1,000 pints of blood. With more than 26,000 students on campus, Krebs said, attaining
that goal should not be difficult. During the past several years, though, participation in the blood drive has declined. Since 2006, the pints of blood donated has dropped by more than 16 percent, Krebs said. If the numbers from this spring are any indication, that number could be even lower this year.
Krebs said the top two reasons people didn't donate blood were a fear of needles and a lack of motivation. She also said recent natural disasters had increased the need for blood donations.
"We need young, healthy people to step up and take their place in helping to save lives," Krebs said.

Suicide bomber kills 20 in Pakistan
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - A massive suicide truck bomb gutted the heavily guarded Maririott Hotel in Pakistan's capital Saturday, killing at least 40 people and wounding at least 250. Dozens more were feared dead inside the building that was still burning hours after the attack.
The targeting of the American hotel chain appeared to be one of
the largest terrorist attacks ever in Pakistan and came at a time of growing anger in Pakistan over a wave of cross-border strikes on militant bases by U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
The bomb left a vast crater some 30 feet deep in front of the main building, where rescuers ferried a stream of bloodied bodies. The fire was still burning at 2 a.m., six hours after the blast. It spread from the front to back, gutting most of
the building and sending up a thick
pall of smoke over the area.
Witnesses and officials said a large truck rammed two heavy metal barriers blocking the hotel entrance at about 8 p.m., when four restaurants inside would have been packed with diners at the hour that Muslims break their daily fast during the holy month of Ramadan. The five-story Marriott had been a favorite place for foreigners as well as Pakistani politicians and business people to stay and socialize in Islamabad despite repeated militant attacks on the hotel.
The bombing came just hours after President Asif Ali Zardari made his first address to Parliament, less than a mile away from the hotel, and days ahead of the new leader's meeting with President Bush Tuesday in New York on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.
