One blwd donor has it "in the bag" after donating his pint to the Red Cross Bloodmobile in
the Abel North Lounge Thursday.
Bloodmobile taps students
By Lisa Brown
Over 200 people contributed one pint of
blood Thursday at a "Bloodmobile" in the Abel
Hall north lounge, said Gene Young, a blood
donor consultant from Omaha.
The bloodmobile is not mobile, but is an
arrangement of chairs, tables and beds where
eight registered nurses and about 20 volunteers
from the university and Lancaster County Red
Cross chapters assisted with the blood donation.
A doctor was on call.
It takes about 45 to 60 minutes to check a
donor's medical history, take his temperature,
pulse and blood pressure, test for anemia, draw
the blood and recuperate.
Food, drink
Four three-bed units, each with a nurse and
assistant, were set up. Sugar water, juice or
coffee and cookies were given to donors as they
rested before leaving.
The blood bags, bag tubes and medical history
are numbered, tagged and taken to the Omaha
Blood Center where they are distributed to 75
chapters in Nebraska and in areas of Kansas and
Iowa.
UNL students and staff members and people
from the community donated blood. Young said
they prefer people to make appointments, but
anyone can donate who is medically able and at
least 19 years old or at least 17 with parental
consent.
Elizabeth Griego, Abel-Sandoz complex
program director, said the Bloodmobile was held
there with the government's consent for the
fourth consecutive semester.
Donors no problem
UNL Junior Bob Sundberg, president of the
executive committee of the University Red Cross
and bloodmobile morning chairman, said the
residence hall health aides distributed donor
sign-up sheets and alerted each floor's residents.
There is -never a problem getting donors, he
said.
Sundberg said the university Red Cross
chapter is one of the top service organizations on
campus, according to the hours students work
and the number of people involved.
Students help themselves as they help others
because it lets them work with people living off
campus, he said. Volunteers work at the
Nebraska Center for Children and. Youth, the
- Veteran's Hospital, the Mental Retardation
Center and other centers.
