NROTC Cuts Classes; Group Donates Blood

Uniformed NROTC cadets will blood for their country and the Red Cross blood drive instead of attending their regular lab period this afternoon, Lt. Gerald J. Crowley, assistant professor of Naval Science, announced last night.

The air and ground ROTC will not give blood as a unit. The Red Cross Blood-mobile is a 20-bed unit, and cannot handle made than 70 donors an hour. Red Cross workers prefer to keep their facilities available for all donations, civilian as well as military, rather than fill them up with large groups, such as ROTC, and risk a drop in donations.
