KU blood drive surpasses its goal
Three-day event draws 819 pints
By Mark McHugh Kansan staff writer
The Blood Drive at the University of Kansas yesterday surpassed organizers' goals by almost 200 pints of blood, drawing 819 pints that are in storage at a Wichita laboratory.
Organizers had set a goal of 625 pints for the three-day drive, sponsored by theellenhile and InfraTrap Council as part of Greek Week activities.
"I'm beside myself," said Liz O'Leary, co-chairman of the Blood Drive. "The students should be commended."
The blood will be processed today in the Wichita laboratory and then sent to hospitals in Kansas and northwestern Oklahoma.
Ed Campbell, co-chairman of the drive, attributed its success to student involvement.
"I think that by surpassing the goal, it shows how the KU student body is concerned about the community," he said.
Dodie Faulconer, a head nurse for the Midway Kansas Bloodmobile, said KU always had a high turnout for blood drives.
Jo Beyers, director for the Douglas County Red Cross, said the drive was successful because few people who wanted to give were turned down.
Of the 902 people who attempted to donate during the drive, 83 were deferred for health reasons, such as a hemoglobin deficiency or a recent illness.
'I'm beside myself. The students should be commended.'
Liz O'Leary Blood Drive co-chairman
Byers, who has worked in bloodmobiles programs for about 20 years, said blood mobiles had undergone many changes in that time. Bloodmobiles were picked up at KU during the Vietnam War because the blood was used for wounded soldiers.
However she said that yesterday the only problems were deferrals and a few cases of lightheadedness.
INS fines businesses for hiring violations
By a Kansan reporter
Panda Garden Inc. was fine Wednesday for violations of immigration laws at its two Lawrence restaurants.
Joe Peng, co-owner of the Panda Garden and Plum Tree restaurants, said the Immigration and Naturalization Service fined the business $2,610 for failing to verify the work eligibility of nine former employees.
The nine people were arrested in January by INS officials, according to INS records. One was a KU student; three were KU students' spouses.
The arrests included four Mexicans who had illegally entered the United States, according to INS records. They were deported to Mexico in February. The other five arrested, one from Indonesia and four from Taiwan, were deported in March.
