Medical Center Starts
Hospital Blood Bank

Rlood is presently an issue of importance to the Medical
Center.
The hospital will need 30 10 pints of Mood of various
types when it opens the List of April.

"In order io be ready when the
hospital begins f unctiotiing, we
would like students who are interested in giving blood to come
over and have their blood typed,"
Dr. Wellington It. Stewart, head
of the Department of Pathology
in the College of Medicine, said.
After a student's blood has been
typed, his name will be put on a
waiting list. Approximately two
weeks before the hospital opens,
some of these students will be
asked to begin donating blood.

Whole blood is needed when the
hospital corns. Although whole
blood can be kept onlv about three
weeks, the plasma is removed and
can be frozen or used for plasma
products. "No blood is ever wasted." Dr. Stewart said.
The two men estimated that
the 50-be- d
hospital will be using
about 1 .000 pints of blood a
month when it is operating in
full capacity.
Possibly the demand will increase, depending on how much

Robertson commented.
