LETTER TO THE EDITOR
It was brought to my attention at
the last "bull session" sponsored
by the S.G.A. that there is a drive
for college students to donate
blood which will be sent to our
soldiers in Viet Nam. This drive is
intended as a type of apology for
the insults which other students in
other colleges have conveyed by
their demonstrations and draft—cant:"
burning. This program will also
help to show that we do care.
Unlike other colleges who are sending 2
in my opinion, almost meaningless
Christmas cards, we at Behrend
could do something a little more
personal and certainly more worthwhile
I for one would like to know if thi
program could be organized at
B ehrend and possibly the other
schools and colleges in the Erie
area, I am sure there would be
sufficient donors to make this
a very worthwhile program In fact
I feel there would be few good Amer
icans who would refuse to give so
little of themselves for such a
worthy cause.
Your suggestion represents one w
in which college students can shoe
a real and meaningful concern over
involvement in Viet Yam. The idea
deserves serious consideration by t
students of Behrend in general and
by some organization on campus in
particular, such as Circle K, S.GOA
or the Red Cross. I, and the staff
of the NITTANY CUB feel that there
is real merit in such a program and
mould like to see it put into pract
