Blood Drive Ends;
304 Ags Rejected
A final total of 868 Aggies
signed up to give blood in the
1964 Wadley Research Institute
Aggie Blood Drive. Of those that
volunteered, 304 were rejected for
reasons such as recent illness,
high blood presure, recent shots
or other medication.
The 564 pints donated was far
short of the goal of 1,000 pints
set for the drive. Had all those
willing to give been able to do
so, the Aggies would have come
very close to their goal, said Alan
