Blood Donors Wait,
But Glad to Give
Donors waiting to give blood for the current drive joked, read
books, or Watched the nurses suspiciously. Some of them had given
blood two or three times before, but fOr many it was the first time.
Bob Lambert, who has donated blood three times previously,
said he was used to needles. He 'said he was giving blood because
it was .needed. Jeanne Stuflle, a
stenographer in the Botany de
partment, said that she was hun
gry but not nervous. 'Anne Rob
inson, who was giving for the
first time, said she wasn't- -ner
vous but that she hoped they
would hurry up.
Ernst Famous, , Warren Dodge,
and Steve Pourk, all giving for
the first time, admitted being a
little nervous. Steele Howard, a
veteran of six donations, was not
worried about the needle. •
As the donors filed into the
room, they were registered and
then they filled out a question
aire telling their age, and whe
ther they had given blood before.
Each donor •was • weighed, and
his temperature and pulse were
taken. Then he, was given a glass
of orange juice.
At. the next_ table, his blood
pressure and hemoglobin 9 count
were. tak e n and he answered
questions for a short case history.

"most people in this country don't
realize that there are still 9,000,-
000 uprooted people in Western
Germany-20 percent of the pop
ulation." The dangerous potenti
alities among these people • is a
real threat tá peace, he said, since
they are open - to any radicalism,
excluding communism, '- which
would alleviate their present mis
erable circumstances.
Renshaw' explained that most
of these displaced people are -of
German origin, who have . been
uprooted from' communist-domin
ated countries. since ,the end of
World War 11. Many are re
_settlesl-in other countries, - he said,
