Students provide little support for local blood ban]
By HANK WAHRMUND
Mr. X has just saved another
person’s life.
He won’t receive a medal. He
won’t get his name in the news
paper. He won’t be mentioned on
any radio or television broadcast.
He won’t even be thanked person
ally by the person whose life he
has just saved.
But to Mr. X, thanks and praise
are unnecessary. He saves lives
every eight weeks. Mr. X is not
a superman. Mr. X is a very or
dinary man, basically. But he is
definitely in the minority.
You see, Mr. X is a blood donor.
Mr. X could be any man or wo
man who chooses to give that one
gift above all others so other
people may live. It doesn’t cost
him anything but a little time,
and in those few minutes another
person may be given another
chance to live.
There are two places in the
Brazos Valley area where one
can go to give the “gift of life.”
The first is on the Texas A&M
University campus in the fall and
the spring when the Wadley Blood
Bank of Dallas conducts its bian
nual blood drive.
The second location is at the
Blood Services Bank in St. Jo
seph’s Hospital in Bryan, Texas.
St. Joseph’s Blood Bank is open
year round from 10:30 a.m. to
6:00 p.m. Tuesday through Fri
day and from 9:00 to 5:00 on Sat
urday.
The Wadley Blood Bank is here
only for two days at a time and
usually receives over 950 pints of
blood by A&M students.
The St. Joseph Blood Bank
struggles to get that much blood
in four months of continuous op
eration. Its main donors are local
residents, not students.
“We have not had very good
support from Aggies,” said Cathy
Anderson, a blood bank worker
at St. Joseph’s. “We’ve had good
support from Company H-l and
some from M-l (Corps outfits)
but otherwise we haven’t had
many students donate here.”
Ms. Anderson said the Wadley
Bank gets a large bulk of local
donors because of its publicity
within the student body. How
ever, persons giving to Wadley
are in no way restricted from
giving to other banks as well.
“A person can give blood every
eight weeks,” Ms. Anderson said.
“This means a student can give
to Wadley when it comes to town
and then give to us at least once
or twice before Wadley returns in
the spring.”
St. Joseph’s Blood Bank is part
of the Blood Services system
which serves a 22-state ai'ea.
Seventy-five percent of the na
tion’s blood needs are furnished
by Blood Services and the Red
Cross. Wadley services only the
Dallas area and the blood it col
lects will never leave that city.
“We’re not knocking Wadley,”
Ms. Anderson said. “We think it’s
great so many students want to
help others by giving. We just
feel that the students should not
overlook us when the Wadley
people are gone.”
The St. Joseph division of
Blood Services sets a monthly
goal for itself of 400 units. The
most units ever donated was in
January, only 286 units. The Na
tional Guardsmen stop in regular
ly but the hospital always runs
short by the end of the month.
Gloria Quinteron is the nurse
who withdraws the donor’s blood
at St. Joseph’s. She performs her
duties with surprising ease and
the utmost of care. Her relaxed
manner and friendly personality
put even the most worried donor
at ease.
“I’ve worked here for eight
months since I trained in Houston
as a nurse,” she said. “I’m from
Bryan and I agree with Cathy
about the Wadley situation.
“Look at it this way. A student
is here nine months of the year.
If he needs blood it will most like
ly come from St. Joseph’s, not
Dallas. Most students aren’t in
Dallas that often.”
After giving blood a donor and
his immediate dependents are eli
gible to draw blood from the St.
Joseph Blood Bank for up to six
months from the date of dona
tion.
Ms. Quinteron said a few stu
dents have drifted in lately due
to the emergency blood need of a
local Aggie. Announcements have
been made in Duncan Dining Hall
to encourage students to partici
pate.
“We’ve had some people lately
who have specified they want
their donation to help Mrs. T
but we haven’t had nearly
enough,” she said. “We
get help from the Houstoel
of Blood Services whenever,
thing like this arises.’’
The blood donation pro^l
relatively easy and takes,
time. The time consumed i
but the average person takejj
than an hour.
“There’s only that one :
prick when the needle is inJ
and then it’s all over," sail)
donor. “I give blood all the;
and never think twice abo®]

By COLLINS CROZIER
Almost anywhere in Texas in a
large number of places across the
nation, if one will observe the
hands of the people he meets, he
has a good chance of finding a
Texas A&M class ring.
The ring holds memories and
deep emotions for many gradu
ates of the school.
The design of the ring is com
plex with each detail symbolizing
a part of the traditions of A&M.
The shield on the top of the ring
symbolizes protection of the good
reputation of the school, and the
eagle stands for the ability to
reach great heights.
On one side of the ring a five-
pointed star is encircled with a
wreath of olive leaves symboliz
ing achievement and a desire for
peace. Oak leaves symbolizing
the strength to fight. A ribbon
joins them together expressing
the necessity of joining the two
traits.
On the other side a cannon and
a rifle symbolize preparedness
and defense while a saber repre
sents valor and confidence. The
crossed flags of the United States
and Texas symbolize the dual al
legiance to nation and state.
The rings are made by the L.
G. Balfour Co. and are of 10 K
gold.
“Tjiree alloys of zinc, copper,
and silver are also used in the
ring,” said Carolyn Wells, senior
ring clerk. “The alloys are used
to make the rings more durable.
The prices of rings have in
creased rapidly in the last years.
Costs were $37 in 1969, $48 in
1971, $77 in December of 1973,
and now $91.56.
“The high gold prices have driv
en up the prices of the rings,”
said Ms. Wells.
The rules for ordering a ring
are stringently enforced by the
ring clerk an employee of the
Former Students Association. To
be eligible one must be a graduate
or have passed 95 hours. A trans
fer student must have one year’s
residence of advanced standing.
Ms. Wells says many students
ask that their ring contain a cer
tain symbol to identify their ma
jor, but there is only one ring
made.
The one new ring in recent
years, however, has been the
women’s ring. Women accounted
for 328 of the 2,911 rings ordered
last year.
The James B. “Josh” Sterns
’99 Texas A&M College Ring Col
lection is on permanent display in
the Forsyth Alumni Center lobby.
A new collection including an
1898 A&M class ring that be
longed to the late G. F. Foutrel is
being prepared for display.

courses during fall semester
Art courses will be offered for
the first time next fall to students
at Texas A&M University.
“We feel that art is an integral
part of every person’s life,” stat
ed Dean Raymond Reed of the
College of Architecture and En
vironmental Design. “In develop
ing the art program at Texas
A&M, we wish to create some
thing which will allow students in
all areas to bx'oaden their educa
tion as well as to offer opportun
ities to students who wish to go
into art as a profession.”
The 11 art courses listed in the
1974-75 catalogue under the En
vironmental Design Department
now allows the word “art” to ap
pear on a student’s transcript, in
stead of some other title such as
architecture.

“This new listing will be advan
tageous to certain students such
as elementary education majors
who later intend to teach art,”
Stacell noted.
Although courses containing art
content have been offered in the
past, these courses have been
listed by different names in var
ious departments and colleges, ex
plained Alan Stacell, head of the
Environmental Design Depart
ment.
The courses listed in the new
catalogues are basically for a two-
year program.
“We’re not sure when or if we
will ever have an art degree
here, but when setting up these
art courses, we kept in mind what
the State Coordinating Board re
quires in the way of basic cour
ses,” explained Graham Horsley,
professor of environmental de
sign.
