Blood Brothers

Support • Andrew Miner (front) and fraternity brother Sean Meusch donated their blood and time to help others. Theta Chi and Delta Zeta lent the Red Cross a helping hand by holding a blood drive on campus open to all students, Wednesday. The machine, Alyx, which Miner was hooked up to, is a new innovation that draws only the red blood cells and gives back the plasma. The procedure takes longer — about 20 to 30 minutes — but doubles the amount of red cells donated in one sitting, which is more beneficial to hospitals. Tracey Roman / Online Forty-Niner
