C.C. Reader XGI BLOOD DRIVE The semi-annual XGI Blood Drive came to a successful conclusion fall term by giving 55 pints of blood to the Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank. Blood Drive Chairman Bill Busher and members of XGI Fraternity would like to take this opportunity to extend their appreciation and gratitude to all the Penn State Capitol students, faculty and staff who participated in this worth while activity. We are currently working on a date for our Spring Term Blood Drive. The fine cooperation of our campus commun ity assures us that this upcoming event will again be a tremendous success that will hopefully surpass the fall 1980 quota. Again, thank you for your help and I'm sure that those individuals who find themselves in need of the blood you give are also appreciative of your efforts.

Student Center: Student Union Building In the Working By Robert Hessenthaler Well, another leadership conference has come and gone and for once a major problem may finally be solved. That's right -- a problem of Capitol Camous may be solved and, like the army, We Need Your Help! What kind of problem you ask? Good question . The problem we are working on is that of creating a place where students can go to eat, talk and listen to music. Sounds good, right? Well, we think it can be but what we need is your opinion on what it should consist of. This will be done through the use of a questionnaire that will be distributed to the dorms and Meade Heights by their RA's, and made available to the com muter students and faculty on Tuesday, January 20, at the Organizational Fair in Room 216 of the Main Building And whom do we have to thank? Well, that's easy! First of all, I'd like to thank all that were involved in preparing the Winter Leadership Conference. Secondly, I'd like to thank all the clubs that participated in the conference for giving us some input into the problem. Remember what I said before --we need your help, so fill out a questionnaire and do it honestly, because we don't want to get something we don't need. •••••••••••ssommENNENN L A Rmi ON THE AIR Thursday, January 15,1981 FINANCIAL AID UPDATE Most Aid Applications Due February 15,1981 Don't miss out on 1981-82 financial aid through Penn State!
