The students were donating blood Tuesday (9/11) on the West Lafayette campus in response to the suspected terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon. Response to the blood drive, which had been previously scheduled by the Purdue Cooperative Council, overwhelmed the staff working on the Bloodmobile. Many students waited more than two hours to make a donation. (News Service Photo by David Umberger)
