HOW ABOUT GIVING 450 ML OF BLOOD'—\i you are trying to keep up to date and
are converting measurements to the metric system, you can leave your conversion
tables at home when you go to donate a "pint of blood Thursday (Jan. 13). The
famous "pint" is actually 450 milliliters (a little less than a pint). It's collected in a
container like the one shown above, but you only till one of the plastic bags. The
other two allow technicians later to separate out the plasma and the platelets,
without transferring the blood to another container. Thursday's blood drive will be in
the third floor dining room, 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Everyone is encouraged to participate,
and special emphasis is being placed on having donors from the Department of
Medicine, Director's Office, Environmental Services, Department of Radiology,
Material Control, Department of Anesthesiology, Engineering and Operations and
Department of Community Health Sciences. (Photo by John Becton t
