Page 4/The Battalion/Friday, October 28,1983 r : Preparations made for Wappenschaw by Karen Hoefle Battalion Reporter The College of Liberal Arts, in cooperation with the Office of Continuing Education, will sponsor the third annual sum mer program, Aggie Wappens chaw, on June 10 through June 14, 1984. Aggie Wappenschaw is named for the Scottish militia men who were called together for a wappenschaw, or muster. “The purpose of the prog ram is to bring former students and friends back to campus,” said Annie Ruth Taylor, coordi nator of continuing education. “Some haven’t been back since they’ve graduated.” The four-day program offers a variety of speakers and enter tainment, Taylor said. During the daytime, the program provides an assort ment of speakers on all sorts of topics, she said. In the evenings, the entertainment ranges from antique presentations to drama tic readings to receptions, Taylor said. Topics that are scheduled to be addressed at the conferences include the Texas A&M cyclot ron, Project 2000 and personal computers. N ie Wap- PROBLEM PREGNANCY Are you considering Abortion?

Aggie Wappenschaw began in 1982 and the attendance has not been as expected, Taylor said. Each year only eight indi viduals have attended th penschaw programs. if we could get 30 to 50 peo ple it would be adequate,” Taylor said. If the upcoming C rogram is not sucessful it might e the last one. “I don’t see any other reason for the program not to be doing well, except for the people don’t know about it,” Taylor said. In addition to Wappenschaw, the 1984 program will also be known as Summer University in an effort to make people more familiar with it, Taylor said. This may attract their atten tion more than Wappenschaw does, she said. Persons interested in register ing for Summer University may call or write the College of Liber al Arts or the Office of Con tinuing Education.

This week 2,421 pints of blood were donated to the Aggie blood drive by the students, faculty and staff of Texas A&M. Blood drives began here in 1959, and are now held in the fall semester, the spring semester and in the summer. Student Government, Alpha Phi Omega and Omega Phi Alpha, sponsor the drives. James Fairfield, APO blood drive chairman, said that each semester more blood is donated than the previous semester. For every pint of blood donated from Texas A&M, the Aggie Blood Club is given a credit by the Wadley Central Blood Bank. This means that any present or former Texas A&M student, whether he gave blood or not, can use blood from the Wadley blood bank. Blood credits are good for a year. For the 2,421 pints of blood collected this week, the blood club has 2,421 cre dits good until October of 1985. The blood does not have to be used by Texas A&M stu dents and alumni only. They can request that a friend use the credits. The blood can be sent, at different costs, any where in the United States. The cost is for handling, not a charge for the blood. Fairfield, a senior market ing major from Rosharon, said the largest requests for blood are made by alumni, be cause there are more alumni than students. The blood is used for re search as well as for people who need it, assistant super visor for nursing services with the Wadley blood bank Betty Mullet said. Fairfield said APO spon sors the blood drive because it is a large project that needs a lot of manpower. The blood drive always needs new donors, Fairfield said. With each blood drive, there is a keg contest for group donations of blood. for Heidi Freeborn, a senior statistics major from La Marque, Wednesday was her sixth time to give blood. “It is a little part of me that 1 can give to help anybody who leeds >t.
