Residence halls compete to give blood
By PAM MILLER

The residents of Lewis and Ellsworth residence halls were out for blood in November.
Each hall sponsored a blood donation competition from Nov. 10 to 25, and although the halls fell short of their goals, the American Red Cross Blood Center was pleased with the result
The contests were separate, but the competition was based on the same premise: each floor would try to get the highest percentage of blood donors. The winning floor would receive a pizza party as a prize.
The goal was for each hall to give 75 units of blood to the American Red Cross.
Ellsworth residents donated 38 units of blood and Lewis residents donated about 20 units.
Natalie Thackston, Lawrence senior, an intern at the blood center, said students from both residence
halls were enthusiastic about the turnout at the blood center.
"We were really happy with the results," she said.
Thackson, whose job is to solicit donors from the University community, said she was pleased that the number of blood units donated to the center had increased each month since the beginning of the semester.
Thackston said she thought the two contests influenced the increased interest in their sport.
The number of donors during that month is usually lower, she said, because the center is closed on Veterans Dav and Thanksgiving.

--blood center, which is not on the bus route, was the main reason for the hall falling short of their goal, she said.
Sarah Jenning, president of Lewis Hall, said the third floor won the competition at her hall, with a donation of six units of blood. The donors were not heavily concentrated on any particular floor, she said.
More than 250 people from clubs, halls, greek houses, ROTC and other campus organizations have donated to the center this semester, she said.

WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO CALL YOUR BOYFRIEND?
a) When the president of Phi Gamma Delta asks you to Saturday night's Fiji Formal.
b) After raquetball class, to tell him that the instructor with the Australian accent and those blue eyes did wonders for your serve.
c) When you just feel like telling him you miss him after all.
Maybe you shouldn't tell him everything that's going on. But if you still care about him,why not call and whisper some sweet things he'll never forget?
Like why you call using AT&T Long Distance Service and why you trust AT&T's high quality service and exceptional value.
When you tell him that AT&T gives you immediate credit if you dial a wrong number, he won't be able to get you out of his mind.

And telling him you can count on AT&T for clear long distance connections will drive him crazy.
All of which will probably inspire him to drive out for the weekend, giving you an excuse to blow off that silly frat party after all.
AT&T The right choice.
