did donate, there would never be a shortage,” Pat
terson said.
APO has brought college students together to
strive to achieve service-oriented goals including
friendship, community service and leadership.
APO has sponsored many blood drives for stu
dents to donate blood and help the American Red
Cross send blood to hospitals, according to the
organization’s Web site.
On Wednesday, students can donate blood at
the Bio-Bio building from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.,
Wehner from 10:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., and Sbisa
from 11:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. On Thursday, students
can donate blood at Rudder from 10:00 a.m. - 4:30
p.m., Sbisa from 11:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., and Read
from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Friday, the last day
to donate blood, students can donate blood at Sbi
sa from 11:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. and Rudder from
10:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
If anyone has any questions about donating
blood, they can call 268-4755 or contact Theresa
Evangelista at 739-7950.
“We strongly encourage everyone to come by
and donate blood,” Evangelista said.

Speaker-elect. “If someone
wants to know the faculty’s po
sition they call the speaker.”
Gunn also plans to make fac
ulty involvement a primary goal
during his term.
“There is quite a lot of apathy
on the part of faculty members,”
Gunn said. “A lot of faculty
members are of the opinion that
the voice of the faculty doesn’t
matter to the administration. It
is incorrect and certainly in
correct under Dr. Gates. He is
involving the faculty in a lot of
decisions.”
Gunn also volunteers his
time to run a freshman learn
ing committee made up of 25
first year genetics and bio
chemistry majors.
“He does this (freshman
learning committee) on his own
without help,” said Dr. Martha
Loudder, accounting profes
sor and former Speaker of the
Faculty Senate. “Each year he
takes the students to Europe for
Spring Break.”
Gunn has served as a senator
for the past three years. He has
served as an at-large member
of the Executive Committee
and as Secretary-Treasurer. He
has served on several commit
tees including the President’s
Task Forces on Academic In
tegrity and the search commit
tee for the Vice President of
Student Affairs.
Students have honored Gunn
by naming him a Fish Camp
namesake in 1997. He was also
given the Academic Inspiration
Award by one of his students
in 1996.
“(Gunn will) be a great per
son to accomplish all of his
goals,” Loudder said. “He’s
quite organized and is very
persuasive. I think people on
campus have a lot of respect
for him.”
