DTH/RLE PHOTO The last major blood drive of the semester is a crucial one because blood supplies are low following Thanksgiving and will not be replenished again by students in the area until mid-January. Key Blood Drive to Start Today ■ The semester’s final Alpha Phi Omega-sponsored blood drive will be in Great Hall. BY GREG KALISS FEATURES EDITOR The end of the semester means late night study sessions for many, hours spent with noses in books and eyes fixed blankly on computer screens. But for the people at the American Red Cross and for those in area hospitals, the end of the semester means a dangerous time for blood bank levels. Richard Kwok, a senior from Raleigh and the Alpha Phi Omega Bloodmobiie co-chairman, said APO’s latest blood drive, which will be held today and Thursday from 11 a.m. t04:30p.m. in the Great Hall, would be crucial for maintaining the Triangle’s blood supplies. “This is the last drive before exams, and during the holiday season the demand for Monastery a Stop on Information Superhighway THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ABIQUIU, N.M. The Monastery of Christ in the Desert is a cluster of adobe buildings in a remote river canyon where monks spend their days praying and work ing and their nights reading by kerosene lamps. It’s also a stop on the information super highway. In a modern-day twist on the ancient tradition of monks as scribes, the little Benedictine monastery has a home page on the Internet’s World Wide Web.

FEATURES blood is very great in Orange County,” Kwok said. “This is the last chance to give until mid-January.” Daphne Burrows, blood services con sultant for the Blood Services Carolinas Region said high schools and colleges ac counted for 25 percent of the blood do nated in the area. “They’re very important to us,” she said. The drive will be particularly important because it is sandwiched in between major holidays and only one residence hall has a blood drive scheduled after this one, Bur rows said. “Just coming off Thanksgiving we have pretty much of a deficit,” she said. “It’s kind of our last shot to do anything on campus.” “It’s..really, really important,” agreed Niki Boyd, a junior from Cary and Blood mobile co-chairwoman. “A big portion of the blood donated (in this area) comes from students. And a lot more blood is used over the holidays because there are a lot more accidents.” The blood drive is the fourth one spon tic life, browse the monastery’s gift shop or even listen to a Gregorian chant. Or they can request to be remembered in the prayers of the monks who gather in the chapel seven times daily, starting at 4 a.m. Located along the Rio Chama in the Santa Fe National Forest at the end of 13 miles of narrow, rutted dirt road, the Ro man Catholic monastery has no phone or electric service. It relies on cellular phones for its computer linkup. The only electric ity to the main building is solar generated. Heat is provided by burning wood. (The lath) (Ear Urrl sored by APO this year, and while Kwok said the drives in August and September were very successful, he said interest often waned as the semester went on. “The first ones are strong because people are just coming back, and they haven’t given yet,” Boyd said. “October is usually the lowest.” People who do donate blood are re quired to wait 56 days before giving again to allow their bodies to recuperate. So those who gave in the first two drives of this semester should be able to give their vital fluid this time around. “That gives us hope that it’ll be fairly successful,” Boyd said. Kwok said people’s fears were a com mon reason for them not to give blood. “A lot of people are just afraid of needles, so they don’t want to give,” he said. “That’s probably the most popular excuse.” But he said he thought that was a poor reason for not helping out those in need, and said donors had little to worry about. “It’s all a very sterile practice,” Kwok said. “It’s very safe. The Red Cross does a great job.” As early as the fourth century, the scriptorium the room where Christian monks did their copying—was a source of revenue. And it was that age-old concern about supporting itself that propelled Christ in the Desert into cyberspace. A couple of years ago, the monastery contracted to computerize library card cata logs. In June, it joined the World Wide Web and advertised that it would design web sites for others. “After all,” says the monastery’s home page ad, “we’ve been making pages for 1,500 years.” This unique graphic biography contains more than 900 original color illustrations. Layered with Jimi’s own words, lyrics, and poetry, Voodoo Child interweaves fantasy and fact to re-create the life, times, and essence of the master musician and psychedelic blues gypsy. The companion CD- Jimi By Himself: Tlw Home Recordings-is an intimate visit with Jimi caught in the act of creating some of his most memorable compositions. The CD is available only with Voodoo Child. Available in BOOKSTORES ON Hendrix’s birthday: November 27 PENGUIN STUDIO MHHBI
