J : S. <...01 V... Monday, April 4, 1983/The Battalion/Page 9 HU 5c/]4 m You really don’t have a good excuse for not saving a life. Because you can't depend on someone else to do it for you: that's why you should donate blood. If you or someone in your family suddenly needs blood, you will hope that someone with your type donated yesterday. If you need blood, and it's not there, all the money in the world won't help. But . . . "IT TAKES TOO MUCH TIME." No. It takes 45 minutes. That includes 7-10 minutes required for the actual donation . . . then you're on your way back to class. f # "I DON'T LIKE NEEDLES No one does. No one likes to be "stuck”, but it's better to be stuck with a needle than to be without blood when you need it. a mu I'LL HAVE BAD AFTER-EFFECTS. I MIGHT PASS OUT." Don't worry. You won't pass out if you relax for a few minutes after giving and have some refreshment. Most people are perfectly capable of returning to their normal daily activities immediately following a blood donation. Sponsored By Student Govt.
