“The blood flowing in your
veins is today’s most amazing
medicine,” according to Mrs. M.
L. Lang of the American Red
Cross, Wilson County Chapter.
“It has become a miracle
worker, newer in some respects
than penicillin. Blood already
does more life-saving than any
other of our wonder drugs. Even
so, we are just beginning to
penetrate its warm mystery and
to discover how to use blood to
save lives, fight diseases and
maintain mornal health.”
Mrs. Lang points out that
“Blood and medicines made from
blood are already working as
jack-of-all-trades. If in one single

laws will be voted on Feb. 13 and
Feb. 14.
The following dates were ap
proved for the election of SGA
officials: filing, Feb. 24, 25;
campaigns, March 3 through 10
with speeches March 6; election,
March 10, 11; and run-offs,
March 12. The dates for petitions

amendment abolishing petitions
fails.

president, vice-president,
secretary and treasurer. Editors
and business managers for
campus publications and head
cheer leader will be included on
the March 10, 11 ballot.

President Byron Wyndham
notified the board of a request
by publicity director, Milton
Rogerson, to appoint someone to
act as a liaison to him for the
student handbook. The board
approved the request and ap
pointed A1 Cooke to fill the post.
In the area of announcements
Steve Dollar told the board that
the spring concert had been
scheduled for March 13. The
“Sweet Inspirations” were
contracted to perform. Ticket
prices had not been set at that
time.
A letter from Dr. Wenger ex
plained that student fees will be
raised from $10 to $12 next year
upon approval of the Board of
Trustees. The board had
previously requested a $5 hike.
The increase did, however, meet
the demands of the board
because the Concert and Lecture
Committee and the Stage and
Script were taken off the SGA
budgetary organization list.
These two organizations will be
funded from other sources.
