Plasma sales profit donors Dangers ahead for press
let
By PRESTON JONES
How would you like to earn $5
lying on your back for an hour?
You can do just that at Plasma
Products, Inc. at 313 College Main
in College Station.
The giving of plasma, called plas
mapheresis, is a medical procedure
which is widely used throughout the
United States.
The process, which takes from an
hour to an hour and a half, involves
drawing approximately one pint of
blood from the donor.
The blood is drawn in a sterile
plastic bag showing the donor’s
name and permanent donor
number.
The plastic bag is placed in a re
frigerated centrifuge which spins the
blood at a high rate of speed causing
the blood cells to settle to the bottom
of the bag and the plasma to float to
the top.
The blood plasma is drawn off and
placed in a sterile bottle and frozen
for storage.
All remaining blood and the cells
are mixed with a saline solution and
fed back into the donor’s body. The
entire process is then repeated be
cause it takes about two pints of
whole blood to extract one pint of
plasma.
A person may donate plasma two
times during a seven-day period, but
there must be a minumum of 48
hours between the first and second
donation.
In order to donate plasma, a per
son is required to get a physical ex
amination and give consent to the
withdrawal of blood samples on
which laboratory tests for syphilis,
hepatitus and protein levels will be
performed.
The College Station center, one of
six in Texas, opened at the end of
March this year. There are seven
persons on the staff.
Jessie Sanders, assistant director,
said they have had about 180 donors
since they opened and that approxi
mately 19 out of every 20 donors are
students.

Freedom of the press and jour
nalistic responsibility are not mutu
ally exclusive, said visiting Centen
nial Professor John Merrill last
night.
Merrill, a former A&M professor,
addressed about 30 student and fa
culty Sigma Delta Chi members at a
chapter meeting in Rudder Tower to
explain present dangers to the
American press. Merrill, presently a
University of Missouri professor,
said the press was endangered by its
own inadequacies.
“I think it takes as much skill to
write a good news story as it takes to
perform open heart surgery,’’ Mer
rill said. He illustrated this by say
ing, “I’ve never seen a news story
that I really liked. ”
There seems to be a growing lack
of concern for freedom of the press,
Merrill said. Concern is slowly disin-
Embrey’s Jewelry
tegrating and is being replaced by
press irresponsibilities.
The press needs criticizing, he
said, and weaknesses need to be
“weeded out and exposed.”
In spite of Woodward, Bernstein
and Watergate, the press still has a
“rather bad image,” he said.
Merrill pointed out that there are
warnings the government may step
in to clean up the press. He pre
dicted that the press will become an
authoritarian medium within the
United States in the near future.
He cited India’s recent turnover
to a dictatorship and authoritarian
press as an example of how quickly
changes within the media can take
place. India’s press altered its demo
cratic policies within a matter of
weeks because of strict controls
placed on it by the government,
Merrill said.
Merrill concluded his talk by rec
ognizing the prophetic value of an
impending freedom of the press
crisis during this time of the nation’s
Bicentennial
The founding fathers had the
press problems we are having
he said. It was easier for pen
combat the press during thee,
years of this country, Merrill
