      This
      year's
      blood
      collection
     
     
      clinic
      at
      UPEI
      was
      well-received-
      so
     
     
      well
      received
      there
      are
      already
      plans
      to
     
     
      have
      a
      second
      one
      in
      March.
     
    

    
     
      "It
      was
      an
      outstanding
      suc-
     
     
      cess,"
      says
      co-ordinator
      Allen
      Veale.
     
    

    
     
      Over
      100
      people
      registered
      to
     
     
      donate,
      surpassing
      the
      65-person
      goal
     
     
      set
      for
      that
      session
      alone.
     
    

    
     
      Of
      course,
      this
      is
      only
      an
      esti-
     
     
      mated
      figure
      of
      the
      number
      of
      donators
     
     
      -
      there
      are
      still
      numbers
      to
      be
      tabulated
     
     
      from
      the
      blood
      clinic
      that
      was
      held
      at
     
     
      the
      downtown
      clinic.
      From
      October
     
     
      21
      to
      October
      25
      UPEI
      and
      Canadian
     
     
      Blood
      Services
      held
      a
      week-long
      cam-
     
     
      paign
      to
      collect
      blood
      from
      students.
     
    

    
     
      It
      also
      included
      a
      first-time
      ever
      blood
     
     
      clinic
      in
      the
      courtyard
      of
      the
      Student
      —
     
     
      Centre.
     
    

    
     
      He
      is
      pleased
      at
      the
      response
     
     
      from
      the
      campus
      community,
      saying
     
     
      they
      must
      develop
      the
      commitment
      of
     
     
      younger
      people
      when
      it
      comes
      to
     
     
      donating
      blood.

      The
      on-
     
     
      campus
      clinic
      may
      move
      to

      the

      was

      they

      At

      clinic,
      there
      will
     
     
      also

      ses-

      so
