8.  BLOOD DONOR AGREEMENT WILL COVER ENTIRE STUDENT BODY

     An agreement between two campus agencies and the Central Kentucky
Blood Center will assure students that all their blood needs for one
year will be covered if ten per cent of the student body donates blood
to the program.

     Sponsored on campus by the Student Health Advisory Committee and
the Student Health Organization, a blood donation drive was begun last
month. Mobile unit visits to the campus will take place throughout the
year at various dormitories and other buildings.

     Any student, donor or non-donor, requiring blood would receive
the needed units without payment or replacement requirements.

tests because of "positive" test results. The Ames Company, a division
of Miles Laboratories, furnished equipment for reading test results.
Both the Harlan Board of Health and the County Medical Association
supported the project.
