STATION ROAD, ERIE, PA 16563
Behrend Sets Blood Dri
by Gregory Goldsmith
Collegian Staff Writer
On March 21, the Association
of Black Collegians (ABC) and
the Erie Blood Bank sponsored a
blood drive at Behrend. ABC
planned this service project to
help the community.
Originally, colleges in Nor
thwestern Pennsylvania challeng
ed each other to see which could
obtain the most donors and
donate the most amount of blood.
As it turned out, Behrend was the
only college to participate.
In an attempt to recapture some
highlights from this big event, the
Collegian spoke with Kimberly
Ford, blood drive chairperson.
Collegian: When did you meet
•with the Erie Blood Bank staff?
Ford: “I called the Blood Bank
to fincTthe most convenient time
for its staff representative and
myself. We decided that we would
meet in late January.”
Collegian: What was discussed
at the meeting?
Ford: “We talked about how
many people were actually needed
for the blood drive and what they
wanted us to do as far as publicity
and getting donors.”
Collegian: How long was the
blood drive?
Ford: “It opened for donors at
9 a.m. and closed at 4 p.m. I had
two friends help the blood bank
staff unload and set up at 7:30
a.m.”
Collegian: How many people
were screened to donate blood?
Ford: “They screened 103 peo
ple. Out of that 103, 95 were eligi
ble to give blood.”
Collegian: What was the
number of sign-ups?
Ford: “Initially, when I met
with the Erie Blood Bank staff
representative, she told me that
she had to have at least 30 in order
to conduct the blood drive. With
that in mind I tried to sign up as
many people as possible, allowing

we got about 60 people, but all of
them did not donate. The majori
ty of the people that did donate
were walk-ins.”
Collegian: Will the ABC spon
sor this again?
Ford: ‘‘Yes. The possibilities
are focusing on this fail. This time
was to gain experience, a chance
to get our feet wet. This fall we
hope to blow it up and sponsor a
huge blood drive by going
through with our original plans
and challenging Gannon, Mer-
