Students bleed
for Red Cross
By: K. McLeod
On Monday, October 22,
the Red Cross Bloodmobile
collected 102 pints of
blood from 116 donors who
attempted to give blood.
The event was held from
9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the
North Campus Student Union.
The Red Cross had set a
goal of 90 pints contrasted
with last fall's goal of 75
when 99 donors partici
pated.
Twenty-four participants
were first time donors.
Brenda Bellamy, Blood
Coordinator of the Wayne
County Chapter, said she
was very pleased with the
results of this quarter's
"Bleed-In."
She complimented
WCC student nurses who
assi sted wi th the
bloodmobile: “They were a
tremendous help."
The nurses had helped at
the fall bloodmobile as
wel 1 .
Three students were
voluntary source
plasmapheresis <VSP)
donors.
According to an American
Red Cross pamphlet, VSP is
a special type of blood
donation that allows a
donor to give plasma, a
critically needed blood
component and the liquid
portion of the blood in
which all of the cells (red
blood cells and platelets)
are suspended.
When the donor's blood
passes through the machine,
the plasma is deposited
into a separate bag and the
red blood and platelets are
returned to the body
through the same needle.
This procedure takes
approximately an hour and
15 minutes.
Students were.given
juice, cookies and pizza
while recovering from their
donat i ons.

This quarter, students
in mammology, biopolitics,
secretarial procedures, and
western civilization
courses have had English
instructors proofread and
edi t the ir papers for
grammatical, spelling, and
stylistic improvements.
Instructors may require
that students use the
Center and that they have
the helping instructor
initial the paper.
"I have seen a big
improvement in their
writing," said wildlife
instructor Susan Collins.
•Employers tell us
constantly that students
need to write better than
they do, so I require
written reports to give
students exposure to
wr i t i ng in the ir field."
Students need to make an
appointment with an English
instructor in advance of
the paper's due date.
They should report to
K14 to be assigned an
instructor who may be
available either to help or
to make an appointment for
another time.
