PSH contributes 132 pints to blood bank By Michelle Sutton Penn State Harrisburg contributed 132 pints of blood to the Central Pennsylvania Blood Bank Oct. 31. Thirty potential donors, denied because of medical reasons, and seven faculty members, who donated, were not included in the 132-count total. Each fall semester, York, Allentown, and Harrisburg campuses, compete in the annual Blood Feud. The competition is not exactly based on total number of pints received, but on the percentage between number of full time students divided by the number of accepted pints donated. York campus came in first with a total of 96 pints received, Penn State Harrisburg came in second with 132, and Allentown campus took third with 41 pints. University Park, which is not in direct competition, only received 101 pints. This is an unofficial tally according to one UP nurse. Joseph Kupec, XGI blood drive SAC announces semester's By Levette Parish "New Directions" is the theme of this semester's seminars sponsored by the Student Assistance Center. According to Linda Meashey, academic assistance counseler of the center, "the programs are fun along with learning new things." The programs were designed to help the student cope with normal problems involving students, such as, test anxiety, stress, and other factors that can affect a student's work abilities, she said. Most of the topics that are covered during these sessions are "choosen by students."

"If any student, faculty, or staff member of Penn State Harrisburg needs blood, he should contact either someone in the Student Activities office or in the XGI fraternity and tell them who needs the blood and what hospital they are located in." Last year two Penn State Harrisburg students needed blood and this year, an XGI social member, requested to withdraw from the PSH account. Kupec added that even "needle-fear" people donated. By giving blood you insure that your immediate family is covered if they ever need blood. "God forbid you need it, but it's there." In addition to the food, soda, and cake offered after donation, the XGIs gave prizes to donors. The prizes,which were donated by local merchants, included a $l5 gift certificate from the Hair Salon, a case of motor oil, a $25 Jamesway gift certificate, a $5 gift certificate from Giant Food Store, and 10 personal pan pizzas from the local Pizza Hut. many people inquire about the same topic, the Student Assistance Center staff will try to conduct a seminar that will answer questions and give insight concerning the topic, said Meashey. The Student Assistance Center is located in W-117 of the Olmsted Building if there are any questions or concerns. The staff in the Student Assistance Center is not only there to conduct seminars, but also to help students with graduate school preparation or just to listen when a student needs someone to talk to. There are four counselors on board at all times to listen and give insight on problems and concerns.
