If they are going to bring the bloodmobile, they better bring Bloodman, too! The American Red Cross is back again today near the cactus garden with its trusty plasma-to-go bloodmobile to take your donation. Thanks to the University Activities Board, members of the Red Cross will be available to draw blood from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information about the blood drives, contact January Terry at 621-9763.
