Blood Drive

By Katy Full
   West Virginia University at Parkersburg hosted an annual blood drive through the American Red Cross on Feb. 2. Located in the Multipurpose Room, volunteers could come anytime between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. to donate.
   After everything was packed away and pints were counted, Tom Yencha, Student Activities Director, revealed that thirty-eight units were collected. Although fifty-six students tried, eighteen were sent away for reasons such as low iron.
   All donating students received a free music download card as a “thank you” for their contribution. Blood donations went to the American Red Cross and will be distributed strictly to individuals in the area.
