A blood donor clinic scheduled for Vanier Hall on Wednesday, March 28, is aimed at students living in residence but open to all, says Canadian Blood Services.
The clinic runs 5 to 8 p.m. in the Oak Room. The entire experience, including health assessment and recovery, takes about an hour.
To book an appointment, call Sandra Davis at 519-253-3000, ext. 5067; as always, walk-in donors are also welcome.
University Players completes its 53rd season with Neil LaBute’s modern comedy Some Girl(s), March 29 to April 1 and April 11 to 15 at Essex Hall Theatre.
This hysterical comedy follows “Guy” – a magazine writer about to be married – to four hotel rooms in four cities, where he meets with four past lovers. He hopes to clear the air between them, which proves difficult considering he fled these relationships years ago and used them as material for his articles. Can this commitment-phobe warm his cold feet without getting burned by his old flames?

There are those hockey fans who believe that when the Detroit Red Wings set a new record for home wins this season there should have be an asterisk beside their names because several of those 23 victories came as a result of shoot-outs.
Then again, there are some more cerebral sports analysts who believe that if an asterisk is added to the record books, it should only be to note that with the shoot-outs included, the accomplishment becomes all the more extraordinary.
It may have been scorching hot Wednesday afternoon, but it was much less smoky than usual, as the Leave the Pack Behind student health services group held its awards ceremony in the Thirsty Scholar.
With about 50 student participants on hand to watch, UWindsor president Alan Wildeman handed out awards to those winners who reduced or eliminated cigarettes from their lives.
As a kid growing up in Chatham, Morgan McNaughton spent most of his summers playing competitive soccer. Looking back now, he realizes the chance to play his favourite sport in an organized league was something of a luxury.
“I knew people who weren’t able to play sports like hockey just because registration and equipment was so expensive,” said the fourth-year kinesiology student. “It’s unfortunate that some people can’t play because everyone wants us to be physically active. It’s a shame to miss out on those opportunities because your family can’t afford it.”

The University Chamber Choir will premiere a new work by UWindsor alumna Shelley Marwood (BMus 2004) at the Spring Choral Concert on Sunday, March 25.
An emerging composer based in Toronto, Marwood has had works performed by the Vancouver, Winnipeg and Windsor symphony orchestras. Her composition, Elements, is based on a poem of the same name by her grandmother Ruby Mulcaster.
The campus chapters of UNICEF and Engineers Without Borders invite the UWindsor community to consider the relationship between food security and access to fresh water during their observance of World Water Day in the CAW Student Centre on Thursday, March 22.
The student groups will set up a booth with information on everything from how much water is used to grow crops to the ways that growing competition for scarce resources can affect food security. The student engineers will have on hand a treadle pump, which uses human power to irrigate fields.
