Because of the Aggie drive, the Wadley Research Institute of Dallas may not visit the other Southwest Conference schools, Stanton noted. He said the group would visit Southern Methodist University, despite the success at A&M. As the second day of the drive began, the possibilities were good that the A&M drive would double last year’s 212 pints donated by Aggies. According to Stanton, A&M gave more blood last year than all the other Southwest Con ference schools put together. WADLEY OFFICIALS said Wednesday’s intake was the most blood the institute has ever col lected in one day. Donators will be eligible to draw blood from the bank for themselves or thier immediate families in any quantity needed, without charge. The blood will be stored in Dallas by the Wadley Institute and will be available for use for one year. After the one-year period, the remaining blood will be used in the study of blood diseases.

Students who sign by May 15 and who send in their room reser vation cards by the deadline will have priority over students occupy ing the dorms during the summer.
