WILL YOU SAVE A LIFE BY GIVING BLOOD?
On November 20. the RpH ™ •
On November 20, the Red
Cross blood bank will be at
Brevard College. Volunteer?
will then give blood to replen
ish the shortage that now ex
ists at the Asheville Regional
Blood Center.
Some of those who volunteer
will replace the blood given to
the late Ben Edwards. Ben
attended Brevard College from
1956 -1958. He had been a resi
dent of Transylvania county
for approximately 5 years. He
was married and the father of
two children.
According to Dr. Marius
Wells, his physician, Ben was a
victim of Hodgkins Disease,
ihe cause of which is unknown
and the prognosis unfavorable.
He developed symptoms of the
disease in the summer of 1961.
Ben was given approximate
ly 24 pints of blood. Many new
medicines were given to him
and they along with blood
transfusions, succeeded in
lengthening his life.
A special assembly of the
entire student body was called
on Tuesday, October 29, for the
purpose of discussing the Blood
Donor Program. Mr. Halcombe
McDaniel, Director of Recruit
ing of the Asheville Regional
Blood Center opened the pro
gram and introduced Dr. Wells.
Dr. Wells spoke briefly, stress
ing the fact that blood is the
sustainer of life and when one
gives blood, it will save a life
somewhere.
Dr. Wells stated that it did
not hurt to give a pint of one’s
blood. The body will replace
this amount in approximately
24 hours. The donor usually
feels better physically as well
as emotionally. The only way
a person’s blood may be taken
is for him or her to volunteer to
give it.
1^. Miles, Professor of re
ligion and history, reminded
students that it is when one gives
of himself that one is truly
giving. A person who gives
blood can indeed breathe into
the dying a breath of life.
Students between the ages of
18 and 21 may not give blood
without their parent’s consent.
Everyone was given a form to
be signed by their parents.
Mr. McDaniel, in replying to^
questions, told the group that
each donor will receive his
blood type a few days after he
has given blood. Also, the
amount one gives will be count
ed toward the personal donor
goal of one gallon.
Dr. Wells advises all persons
that if there is any question
whether one may give blood or
not to come ahead and be check
ed by the doctor who will bff
with the blood bank.

Pandemonium broke loose at
the soccer field on October 29,
as the home team defeated Ap
palachian 2-1 for their first vic
tory in two years. Brevard’s
record now stands at 1-4-1.
Both teams battled to a score
less tie in the first period. The
second quarter saw Appalachi
an’s Ron Jones net a goal to
give the Apps a 1-0 edge at the
half,
Starting the third period it
looked as though there was go
ing to be another scoreless quar
ter but Brevard’s Vince Dennen
had other ideas. With time run
ning out Dennen’s perfect shot
tied the score.
Time and time again in the
last 22 minutes Ronald Pont re
peatedly saved Brevard from de-
.feat with his brilliant defensive
play. Then came the overtime
and VICTORY.
The fired-up team hustled ov
er the field. When Ron Jones
fouled a Brevard player, Vince
Dennen had a chance to win
the game with a free kick. Den-
aen stepped back, moved for
ward and kicked. The ball flew
past the App’s goahe and Bre
vard had their first victory.
The half-frozen crowd swept
jn the field to hoist Dennen to
their shoulders, but since there
were still 2% minutes to go,
the ride was delayed. Dennen

Coach Tauscher.
