Over 200 pints were donated last year and according to Social Vice President Karen Ottesan, "this year there just wasn't enough support by the faculty. ' ' Ruthanne Skinner, Chairman of the Central Utah Chapter of American Red Cross says students come up with many poor excuses for not giving blood. However, she sees more women giving blood than men. "The fellows say they're afraid of needles," Skinner replied. Of eighty people who donated, only 2 became faint and required first aid treatment. Both students were male. The donated blood will be distributed throughout Utah and the rest of the United States on a need basis. "The American Red Cross wishes to thank those who participated," said Skinner.

Before, the change of major is approved, the student must clear through the Admissions Office, Provo Campus. The reason for the above procedure is a consequence of the requirements imposed by the Legislature and Board of Regents to report the effects of the new Associate of Science Degree on our vocational-technical programs. Also, this process is important because of the larger number of majors which are becoming filled prior to the beginning of each quarter. Please advise students as to this procedure and report any errors or admissions concerning major classification of your students. a?' i - T V CLAMP DOWN ON MIDTERMS! 3utch shows students the stamina needed to push through those crushingexaminations.
