Football supporters storm Olympia

THE WESTERN FRONT
Western football supporters rallied in
Olympia on Monday to support two bills
that would review the process Western
took to eliminate its 100-year-old program.
If passed, House Bill 1884 and Senate
Bill 5784 will create a task force dedicated
to reviewing the decision. The task force
would then make recommendations on
how to potentially reinstate the program.
"[Submitting the House Bill] felt like
we scored a touchdown, but it's only the
first quarter," said Western alumnus and
former player Kirk Kriskovich. .
Both bills contain language admonishing
the process the administration took
to terminate the football program, which
according to its authors lacked reasonable
notice-,-transparency-and-a public process.
"Every stakeholder within the university
should be concerned about this because
they can kill a program without any
dialogue," Kevin Beason, Viking Booster
Club member and Western alumnus, said.
"We don't want footballto be held as a
sacrificial lamb for the other sports."
In passing the bills, supporters of the
football program hope to show the university
did not consider every option on the
table, Kriskovich said. The bills' supporters
are looking to find specific numbers
concerning the gains and losses associated
with the program's elimination, he said.

Western blood drive collects record donations

THE WESTERN FRONT
"Every two seconds someone in
America needs a blood transfusion."
This fact, handwritten on the back
of her red "Give Blood" T-shirt, is one of
many reasons Jackie Stein, health educa:
tor and coordinator of Western's Lifestyle
Adviser Program, is devoted to a successful
blood drive.
Last week's winter quarter blood
drive on Western's campus prompted
437 blood donations, or approximately
437 pints, making- it the most successful
winter quarter drive since 2003, according
to Puget Sound Blood Center (PSBC)
records.
Hospitals and clinics in the region require
900 blood donations each weekday
to keep up with patients' needs, said Carol
Rondello, PSBC representative for the
Whatcom, San Juan and Northern Skagit
Counties.
Catharine Vader of Western's Prevention
and Wellness Services said Western
has had a quarterly blood drives since
1972. The drive, hosted by the PSBC and
Prevention and Wellness Services, has
continually ranked as one of the largest
donor groups in Washington state's northwestern
region.
"Western's blood drives play a very
significant role in blood banking for the
western part of the state," Rondello said.
"Seventeen percent of the region's required
blood for the days following a
drive comes from Western."
During each quarterly blood drive,
donors may donate in the mobile blood
center in Red Square or in Viking Union
room 565.
According to PSBC records, this
quarter the mobile blood center received
88 donations over the three-day drive
while the VU received 349 donations. Records
show these are some of the highest
turnouts in the history of winter quarter
blood drives at Western.
"Typically, winter quarter is the slowest
of all," Stein said.
On average, winter quarter blood
drives at Western are comparably lower
than fall and spring drives. According
to PSBC records, the average number of
winter quarter blood donors for the last
four years was approximately 360 per
quarter. The average fall quarter donations
were approximately 427 per quarter
and the average spring quarter donations
were approximately 369 per quarter.
So what caused such a remarkable
improvement in overall donations for this
winter's blood drive?
Weather patterns often dictate the
number of donors a blood drive can attract,
Stein said. Fall quarter saw better
weather, but this quarter's drive saw exceptionally
low temperatures. Skies were
clear and the sun was out, compared with
