Volume 59 Number 7 SUNY College of Technology at Farmlngdale _ November 29, 1 ^88 Rambler The Campus' Strongest Drive
By Stephanie Tracy
Rambler Staff Writer
Last week the Rambler had a chance to
talk to Stephen Schnell, the Student Affairs
Chairperson, about the Blood Drive on Decem-ber
1st. The Blood Drive will be in the Multi-purpose
Room in Roosevelt Hall on Thursday
December 1st from 10 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. The
Rambler hopes that this article will impress the
message to all readers that giving blood is an
important task in helping others continue life.
Rambler: What is your main goal concern-ing
the Blood Drive?
Stephen: I would like to set up a positive
outlook by the F.U. student on giving blood, that
it really can save a life, and that it will carry over
so they will continue to give in the future.
Rambler: What is the blood donation situ-ation
on Long Island?
Stephen: Long Island is notorious for not
having enough blood. In fact, only 2% donate on
a regular basis. Since we are in such a deficit,
blood has to be imported from Europe. If the
blood supply from Europe would stop, many
that we do not feel the same as the Europeans
about making a commitment to give blood, in-stead
of letting it slide by until you or someone
close needs it.
Rambler: There have been blood drives in
the past years, what was last spring's results?
Stephen: Last Spring's Blood Drive held
the record low turnout, only 77 students out of
5,000, and 23 people from the faculty and staff NACA Conference

On October 30th, 1988, a group of stu-dents
accompanied by Mike Daniels, Director of
Student Activities, and Allison Ford, Assistant
Director, were off to Lancaster, Pennsylvania for
the National Association of Campus Activities
East Coast Regional Conference. The students
that were elected for this convention were also
participants in the school clubs on the campus.
These students are as follows: Bryant
Johnson - President, IDC, Maddie Thorpe - Presi-dent,
CAB, accompanied by Ben Ng - Vice Presi-dent,
CAB, Elizabeth Laro - President of LASO,
accompanied by Robert Gufman - Programming
and Planning Chairperson. Also, the President of
SGA, James Sullivan, accompanied by Charles
Hines - Chief Justice of SGA. The purpose of the
NACA Conference was to provide us with the
knowledge of programming and organizing
campus related functions. We were also provided
with courses such as drug related and alcohol
related issues. These courses were instructed by
people who have successfully dealt with these
issues in the past.
At the Convention, there were at least one
hundred colleges from all over such as FIT,
Hofstra, Stony Brook, and even foreign colleges

Rambler: What are some of the other needs
for the blood?
Stephen: Blood is desperately needed for

from the District of Columbia. We were provided
with accommodations at the Sheraton Hotel and
food expenses. I guess the students really en-joyed
this part the most. Also attending the con-vention
were a variety of performers such as co-medians,
actors, dancers, and, of course, our
favorite, music groups. The purpose of this was
for the performers to sell themselves to the col-leges
for future functions. We really enjoyed
ourselves, we shared our ideas with other stu-dents,
and, in turn, they shared some of their
ideas. The results have been turning out well so
far. It was a learning experience for us all and has
provided us with the importance of working
together to accomplish our goals.
