BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING
The involvement of UCAR in long-term universityand other national efforts and the outlook for fund-ing of scientific research were the principal focusesof the April UCAR Board of Trustees meeting held inWashington, D.C., on 14-15 April.

The mobile unit from BelleBonfils Memorial Blood Bank willmake its semiannual visit to theNCAR Mesa Laboratory on Tuesday,13 May, between 9:00 a.m. and3:00 p.m. in the Damon Room.

are some who simply don't want to be bothered or whowish to avQid the minor discomfort sometimes asso-ciated with giving blood. If you have consideredgiving but are still unsure, talk to people youknow who have donated, or come to the Damon Roomon 13 May and observe the procedure. Even if youdon't have a scheduled appointment, your contribu-tion will be gratefully accepted atthat time. Theentire process takes only about 30 minutes includinga few minutes for refreshments after you donate.
Although blood is usable for only 21 days, theBelle Bonfils center serves 40 hospitals in Denverand surrounding communities, and the demand forblood is always great. A one-day turnaround istypical for the more common types of blood, and thedemand increases even more around holidays when moreaccidents are likely to occur.
In preparation for giving blood, be sure to eata good breakfast (and lunch, should your appointmentfall in the afternoon). After giving blood, drinkplenty of fluids to replace the loss of fluids in
the body. Although the body begins replacing redand white blood cells immediately, this process takesabout two months to complete.
If you want to be a donor, please return the
form distributed earlier this week or call Nita Razo(ext. 262). Those who wish to offer their help asnurses' aides or escorts should contact Nita.
Bill Kohri is currently compiling a list of all
NCAR employees who have donated blood since theinception of the NCAR blood bank in 1974. This listwill be updated after each blood bank day in thefuture to aid in the recognition of those employeeswho achieve various milestones in the amount of blooddonated.
Keep in mind that you and your family are eligibleto use the NCAR blood bank credits in almost any hos-pital in the United States, whether or not you donateblood. If you need blood your doctor or hospitalshould call Blair Smallwood (ext. 341) or Sandi Hoff(ext. 586). 9 BZLZ Kohg'u

UCAR TO HAVE WASHINGTON OFFICE
New UCAR president Robert White has establisheda UCAR office in Washington, D.C., to provide a means
of improved liaison with government agencies and na-tional organizations headquartered there. The officewill also serve as a base of operations for visiting
UCAR and NCAR staff. UCAR's corporate headquarterswill remain in Boulder.
White can be contacted at the Washington officeweekdayafternoons until I June, at which time hewill be at NCAR in Boulder, Colorado, full timethrough the summer. Beginning in the early fall,he will divide his time between the Washington officeand Boulder, spending about a week every month atthe latter. White or his assistant, Barbara Neff,can bereached at the Washington address and telephone:
UCAR, 2600 Virginia Avenue N.W., Room 514, Washington,D.C. 20037; telephone 202-298-7292.
30TH STREET TELEPHONE NUMBERSIn this issue, Staf Note is publishing the
most recent list of telephone numbers for personnellocated at the 30th Street offices. This list does
not include personnel in the Mesoscale Research Sec-tion or the MONEX Project Office. Telephone numbersfor people in these two groups (as well as the roomnumbers for all people located in RL-3 and RL-6) willbe published at a later date. Until the telephonesare installed, messages for people in MONEX or MRSmay be left with the NCAR telephone operators. Phoneand room numbers for HAO personnel will be publishedin Staff Notes when they become available.

The NCAR Library is continually seeking new information--databases, journals, books, reports, data sets,maps, etc.--relevant to the needs of our patrons. During the last month the library distributed interestprofiles to the scientific staff. These profiles will be put into a computer-generated index and matchedagainst announcements of new publications to assist us in our acquisitions. They might also be used forcomputer generation of personalized bibliographies of library holdings and recent library acquisitions.If you did not receive one and would be interested in completing the form, they can be obtained in thelibrary or from Chuck Wenger, X428.
