Donor numbers creep up DECEMBER 10, 2003 - WCC CAMPUS VOICE 11 By JOSHUA EARP and STEPHANIE HERRING On Thursday, November 5, 2003, WCC held its quarterly Blood Drive. Fifty-four people presented to donate. However, only 47 productive units were collected, 4 of which were first time donors. This record exceeded this past summer’s record, which consisted of 47 presenting donors, 8 first-timers, and 41 productive units collected. James Bynum, Director of Student Activities and advisor to the Student Government Association, said, “The turn out was excellent; we reached our goal for the amount of units donated. We continue to urge students to support our blood drives, in the spring and in future years.” Students, faculty, and staff who presented to give blood underwent a mini-physical examination, in that nurses checked their well being on donation day, their blood pressure, their body temperature, and hemoglobin level. Potential donors also filled out a questionnaire about various medications, sexual behaviors, drug use and history, geographical locations of residence or visitation, and other questions. Additional questions addressed hepatitis and the West Nile virus. Don Best of the American Red Cross said, “ We are always interested in getting individuals to donate all types of blood, but there is a special need for the blood types of O and B, so people with these blood types are strongly encouraged to participate in donating blood.” fmmmmmmmmmmm^ tr n^anning & ^HairSdon 9 ■m.' if J’': ^ f' > -'4 870 Rosewood Road Goldsboro, NC 27530 919-736-0075 Diane Westbrook Owner/Operator iMaiCs Sy J<Sin A smiling Matt Jones shows how easy blood donation can be.
