All contributions should be deposited in the Stetson Post Office addressed to life Treasurer' of the SGA, Tommy, 'Ciiuthen, or to the SGA Box. In,, asking for the contributions, President Rhodes emphasized that the donations were of an entirely voluntary nature and that no pressure would be placed on anyone to give. Donations will be accepted today in assembly if all plans go well. Any person so desiring may donate blood for Joe Carlton on the regular blood donor days at the Fish Memorial Hospital Blood Bank. Any type of blood will be accepted and credit given to the Carlton account. An ironic twist to the whole affair is provided by the fact that Carlton is himself a member of the DeLand Red Cross "Gallon Club" and as- such will receive some of his own blood back.
