Red Cross bloodmobile drive to begin at Abel Hall
Donating blood to the Red Cross bloodmobile may
save you money and your life.
The bloodmobile will be at the Abel Hall North
Lounge Nov. 21 , 10 ajn. to 4 p.m. and Nov. 22, 9 a.m. to
2 p jn. It t open to anyone in good health, age 17 through
65 and weighing 110 pounds minimum, according to
Campus Red Cross Secretary Joe Roberts.
One benefit from donating, Roberts said, is that the
donor and hisher immediate family is entitled to free
blood transiusions for one year.
Blood costs $51.50 a pint if the recipient has never
donated.
The goal for the blood drive this year is 480 pints,
Roberts said. About four percent, of the total population
gives blood for the rest of the population, he said.
Blood taken is sent to the Omaha Blood Bank. About
50 pints are sent to the Lincoln Community Blood Bank
each week.
State reaction is positive, supportive
in Marsh's Moonie member incident
State Treasurer Frank Marsh said Monday an over
whelming positive response has not left him mooning over
an incident reported in the Nov. 7 editions of the Daily
Nebraskan and a number of out-state newspapers.
At issue is a claim made by Lokesh Mazumdar, a mem
ber of the Unification (Moonie) Church, that gifts were
often exchanged during Mazumdar's frequent visits to
Marsh, who was then lieutenant governor.
Marsh said he does not support the Moonie Church in
any way, but added that you can respect certain individ
uals within it.
"Lokesh is not an unsavory person," Marsh said. "He's
a very fine polished gentleman. He didn't tell me he was
going to use my name in his church training manual.
"I excused him on the basis that maybe in the culture
he comes from it is a permissible thing to do."
Marsh said the feeling he has been "taken advantage
of," has been expressed through letters, telephone calls
and personal contacts from persons all over the state.
"I am amazed at the number of people who have ex
pressed a sincere concern about this whole affair," he said.
"Reaction has come from people who know us as a
family. A family that has always opened our doors to for
eign students and visitors.
"All the reaction has been positive and supportive and
these people have said, 'Well, hey, we know your door has
always been open and we feel you were taken advantage
of because you were in public office ."'
One person who walked through his door to lend sup
port last week, Marsh said, was Gov. J. James Exon.
"He (Exon) brought his Coca-Cola over to my office,
closed the door and talked to me for about 30 minutes,"
Marsh related.
"He talked to me about the risks of public service. The
governor told me it has happened to him before and I was
warmed that he came over to share that concern. He com
plimented me in the way I have handled this incident."
Marsh said he has come to accept such incidents as a
risk anyone in public office runs and that he will not
change the way in which he has always met people.
"When you're in public office you run a risk. When
you love somebody you run a risk. I'm not disillusioned.
I couldn't meet people any other way than openly."
Marsh said that he has not gotten "the political shakes"
over this incident, adding that it's time to move on with
other matters.
"I feel I've been taken advantage of, but it's time to
move on. I have other fish to fry and I don't care to dwell
on this unfortunate incident."
Roberts said the need for blood is increased at this
time of year. The upcoming Thanksgiving, Christmas and
New Year holidays usually means many car accidents, he
said. '
Before donating blood, the blood pressure
temperature and medical history of the potential donor is
checked.
Peopfe with a history of hepatitis, jaundice, heart
disease, epilepsy, diagnosed bleeding diseases and cancer
may not be accepted.
People may be accepted after a specified waiting period
for allergy shots, blood transfusions, diabetes, ear pearc
ing, immunizations, infectious hepatitus contact, infec
tious mononucleosis, injectable antibiotics, major surgery,
malaria, oral antibiotics, oral infection or surgery and
pregnancy.
The blood -taking project takes about 15 to 20 minutes,
Roberts said, and the donor should expect to feel faint
for about 30 minutes. Registered nurses are on duty.
Food and drink is provided at the canteen after the
donation. The donor will also receive a Red Cross identi
fication card .

Canadian official: nations should join
to show energy crisis is no phony

Countries need to work together now to solve energy
problems so decisions can be made rationally not hurried
ly, said the chairman of the Canadian National Energy
Board Tuesday.
Marshall Crowe's lecture on energy in the Nebraska
Union ballroom was part of a series sponsored by Mont
gomery Lectures and the University Studies Program.
Crowe said Canadians find it difficult to believe there is
an energy crisis. People in Canada and the United States
tend to think the energy crisis is phony, that it's being
cooked up by big oil companies, he said.
"Perhaps globally, we haven't reached the stage where
it can be termed a crisis," he said, but research shows that
by the mid-1980s there is likely to be shortages of crude
oilpetroleum and heating fuel oils.
Chances are pretty good that the shortages will come
earlier rather than later, he said.
Nations need to begin to look at possible energy alter
natives now, he said, so there can be a gradual adjust
ment, not an abrupt shift to energy alternatives.
Countries can not expect to import all the fuel they
need, Crowe said. There will not be enough to accommo
date the demands. That is why nations should work
together to form an energy policy, he said.
Canada's energy policy is threefold, he said. The
government is trying t conserve energy, to make effic
ient use of available sources and to develop new ones,
Crowe explained.
To prepare for future shortages, Crowe said, Canada
has had to gradually reduce the amount of oil exported to
the United States.
"It's not that we're sitting on it," he said, but the
country is thinking of its own needs.
Other than that energy relations between Canada and
the United States are "reasonably good," Crowe said.
Each fights for its own interests.
Recently both countries agreed to allow the transporta
tion of natural gas and oil owned by one country across
the other. Crowe said. The pipeline agreement insures
there will be no interference from either country.
