to give illustrated talks
A football game, barbecue, and play
production were some of the activities
Lamar families engaged in on Parent’s
Day.
The fourth annual Lamar University
Parents’ Day, sponsored by the
Residence Hall Association, was held
on campus last Saturday.
The day’s scheduled activities began
with registration for students and their
families. A reception was held in the
Setzer Center with music provided by
the Lamar University Brass Ensemble
directed by Eugene Badgett.
According to Larry Markley, Direc-
tor of the Setzer Center, a “good num-
ber” of families of Lamar students
LU blood drive
donations triple
The Blood Center of Southeast Texas’
blood drive on Oct. 7 tripled last
semester’s total, according to Monica
Parks, this year’s Blood Drive Chair-
man.
A total of 166 pints of blood were
donated from the 235 persons respon-
ding to the drive, said Parks.
A small blood sample was taken from
each prospectice donor to obtain an iron
count. If the person’s iron count was
below the required 38, then they were
rejected as donors, explained Parks, a
junior nursing major.
If a person donates blood to the cen-
ter, then his immediate family is
covered should they need any unlimited
amount of blood within the next year.
“If 240 faculty members would
donate, then the entire faculty of 600
would be covered for one year,” added
Parks. The faculty-staff turnout tripled
their last semester’s response.
Contests were held between the
fraternities and sororities for the most
donations based on percentages and
total donations. Phi Delta Theta
received the trophies for highest per-
centage based on membership. The
trophies for greatest turnout were
awarded to Zeta Tau Alpha and Gam-
ma Phi Beta, for a tie in that category.
Gamma Phi Beta also won for the
greatest percentage of donors from the
sororities.
Another blood drive will be held in the
Setzer Center on Oct. 26. The goal for
the drive is 200 pints of blood and kegs
of beer will be awarded to the frater-
nities with the highest total and per-
centages of donors.
The blood from last semester’s drive
was entirely used in about a weeks
time, added Parks.
“There’s a great need for donors,”
she said, “One lady used her family
blood assurance for 98 pints on the
same day she donated.”

p.m. Thursday, in the Landes

Tours of the campus and Gladys City

of the Moon” in the Lamar theatre. Ac-
cording to Bobbie Applegate, Director
of Student Activities, approximately 45
students and their guests attended the
performance.
A barbecue was held in the
quadrangle as visitors and students
listened to the country music of “MQ
Express,” said Markley. About 306
people attended the barbecue, Ap-
plegate said.
Students and their families then at-
tended the Lamar and Arkansas State
Football game, and were seated in a
special section.
Markley added, “I think this is an ex-
cellent program; next year we hope to
be able to expand it to include a lot
more parents.”
