Blood Donations
Exceed Half
Of 900-Pint Goal
The student blood drive reached the halfway mark of its
900-pint goal yesterday as 290 students donated blood in the
second day of the drive.
Ninety-six of the 222 students scheduled failed to keep
their appointments, but this was offset by 104 walk-ins who
gave blood. An additional 23 volunteers were rejected for
physical reasons.
Almost 300 walk-ins will be needed tomorrow if the drive
is to reach its goal. Walk-ins must come to the bloodmobile

Judicial Recommends Probation for 3
The Association of Indepen
dent Men's Judicial Board of
Review last night recom
mended to the dean of men's
office that two freshmen from
the Nittany area be put on dis
ciplinary probation, and that
a third Nitta,ny area freshman re
ceive office and board probation.
The two who received discipli
nary probation, the heavier of the
two penalties, were involved in
an incident of lighting a fire in
one of the Nittany dormitories.
They allegedly poured shaving
lotion, which contained alcohol,
under the door of a nearby room
and ignited it. The students said
they meant only to play a prank
on the occupant of the room.
The counselor who reported the
case said that he appeared on the
scene shortly after the incident
occurred and found bits of burnt
paper and marks where the floor

Officials described the day as
"highly encouraging" and said
that they felt the drive would be
successful in spite of yesterday's
low number of contributions.
The donors themselves ex
pressed approval of the drive, and
many said that they would donate
blood again in future drives. A
few students said they were giv
ing blood to replace that given by
the Red Cross to relatives in the
armed forces. The majority, how
ever, gave blood because they felt
"a moral obligation." One student
remarked, "It's a quick, painless
way to do something worth
while."
Donors who did not report to
the bloodmobile at their sched
uled time yesterday or Monday
should make their, contributions
today. According to the schedule
released by the committee, • 200
students are scheduled to give
blood today.
No Starches for Donors
Students should not eat starchy
or fatty foods immediately before
reporting to the bloodmobile, or
their blood will not be suitable
for use whole. Starches and fats
are absorbed into the blood
stream, and if an excess of these
factors is present, the donation
must be converted to plasma.
Donors will be served coffee,
orange juice, and doughhuts to
day by the members of Kappa
Delta and Alpha ()Micron Pi. Stu
dents must remain in the blood
mobile canteen for at least 15
'minutes after giving blood.
Headquarters for the drive is

had been charred by the fire.
The other student was accused
of lighting a firecracker in the
same dormitory not long after the
previous incident occurred. He ad
mitted walking through the
dormitory and seeing the students
lighting the shaving lotion under
the door. He said he ran over to
his own dormitory, obtained the,
firecracker and came back with
the intention of setting it off to
add to the horseplay.
However, he found the dormi
tory hall empty on his return, so
he set off the firecracker and ran
out of the dormitory. When he
learned that the students who
were involved in the earlier inci
dent were also being blamed for
the firecracker incident, he turn
ed himself in to the residence
counselor.
The board felt the incident,
which might have received a
much stiffer penalty in view of
the University's specific rule
against firecrackers, received a
somewhat milder recommenda-

were asked to bring blue books
to the Leonides office in the Het
zel Union Building for filing. Miss
Pendleton said this central loca
tion 'plan would not operate ef
fectively because there are so
many independent women on
campus that the demand would
far exceed the service that could
be offered from the HUB. Inde
