Students who break parking regulations
are given tickets for good reasons; said Dr.
Gary D. McCaleb vice president and
dean of campus life. .
To Jet a student park wherever he or she
wants without being ticketed would not be
fair to the students who pay the' parking
registration fee and park in the correct
areas he said.

286 pints were given. Yandell said in
the past the average of pints of blood
used to be 250 pints.
He said he feels the reason for the
decline is because of an overall at-
titude about giving among new stu-
dents. But students who start donating
when they are freshmen Yandell said
usually give every time.
Each year the blood drives raise the
same amount of money as Sing Song
Yandell said yet it doesn't receive as
much publicity.
Another reason for the decline is
that the announcements are not heard
like they are when they are given
from the podium by a central figure

courtesy for your fellow student" Mc-
Caleb said.
"My feeling is that by far the large ma-
jority of our students comply" he said.
Failing to display a valid parking permit
and parking in the wrong color zone arc
the two most common violations said
Ewell frather chief security police of-
ficer Prather also said the number of tickets
the security police have issued this
semester is average.
' Students have six school days after the
date the. tickets are issued o settle their
tickets with the Security Department or
the fines automatically will be charged to
the students' accounts.
McCaleb said he thinks some students
simply ignore the tickets.
"That doesn't really accomplish any-
thing" he said.
Students who feel they have cir-
cumstances surrounding the violation that
need to be explained may speak with

more people would hear the an-
nouncement earlier in the day and
give blood.
Barbara King technician for the
Meek Blood Bank said some students
who came in were unable to give
blood because of sprangs surgeries
and low iron. Students also can't give
blood if they are on medication such
as for acne and if they have traveled
in a malaria area.
"1 wanted to do something that
would benefit the children's home"
said Rclla Lietz freshman nursing
major from Idaho Springs Colo. She
said she is from a foster family and
she knows how it feels.

the students did not supply the blood
they do each year then Christian
Homes would have to come up with it
themselves.
Christian Homes will spend the
amount of money received from the
students' blood next week at the hos-
pital to pay off one woman's bill.
About 12-15 women are now apart
of Christian Homes of Abilene.

The Herald of Truth which is overseen
by the elders of the Highland church
planned the conference because of a de-
mand by people in the Church of Christ
for family help. ...
"Wc saw that families needing help in
coping and solving their problems was the
number one need at Highland and it
probably is in most other churches too"
said Jane Melton conference coordinator
for the Herald of Truth.
"We had the Idea for this conference
and then the Highland elders chose
speakers who are well known in the Chris-
tian family counseling field" she said.
The conference originally was scheduled
for the Hyatt Regency hotel at DFW air-
port but the location was changed when
registration exceeded the hotel's 450-
person capacity. The location was changed
to the downtown Dallas Hyatt Regency
which can accommodate 900 people. All
900 seats already are reserved Melton
said.
