nRED CROSS: The state is seeking to build its blood storage and try to become a self-sufficient provider By Alma Castillo
Daily Titan Staff Writer The American Red Cross hosted a blood drive yesterday giving students, staff and faculty of Cal State Fullerton an opportunity to help California collect more blood, so it can be a self-sufficient state and not have to ask other states for help. On a daily basis, California imports 40-60 percent of its blood from the Midwest. “I heard that there was a need of blood and that the blood drive was going to be here,” said Elda Moreno, benefits coordinator of “I donathuman resources.

HEALTH: As the semester ends, preparing for finals results in anxiety By Heather Hampton
Daily Titan Staff Writer With finals just two weeks away, adrenaline is kicking in and the stress level of students is rising to new peaks for many Cal State Fullerton students. Chiu-Hui Chan, a senior biology major, said finals definitely stress her out and she is extremely concerned about her final grade over anything else. “[If] I study hard enough and I don’t get the grade I expected, I’ll be depressed,” Chan said.
Chan takes a very serious approach toward studying for any test. She said that she studies even harder for classes within her major. “[I study] a week ahead of time,” she said. “[And] for G.E. courses, three days ahead.” But Chan never studies alone. Chocolate is her best friend. “I eat a lot of chocolate when I’m stressed out,” Chan said. Chan loves sugar and it keeps her stress level down while she studies for a test.

She also utilizes other relievers to calm her down when she is knee-deep in stressful waters. Chan said she enjoys working out at the gym when she is stressed out. “I exercise,” she said. “I go to the gym to swim.” Although Chan is weeks away from graduating from college, she is not very excited about pounding down the college doors and racing into the workforce. “I can’t find a job,” she said.

Cal State Fullerton student Kim Holloway once wrote: “Time is... “How I want to be remembered: As an intelligent, kind and giving person; who strove to be the best Too slow for she could be.” Before she died on March 2 those who from kidney failure, family and friends knew Kim as much more than just intelligent, kind and car- wait, to swift ing. They knew her as a loving daughter. A thoughtful sister. A for those sympathetic friend. Her father Dan Holloway said who fear, she did very little wrong and never disappointed him. too long for “She lived a good moral life,” he said. “She had her whole life those who ahead of her and all we can do is ask, ‘Why?’” Despite Kim’s premature death, grieve,...” she experienced much in her life — most importantly, love. Kim Twenty-seven-year-old Kim Holloway, the eldest of Dan and Holloway, Hilda Holloway’s four children, grew up and lived most of her life in La Puente, Calif. In high school, Kim was a passionate and competitive athlete. One of her joys was succeeding and pleasing those around her. At Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, she made sure the audience enjoyed the plays she participated in. At CSUF, she made sure her instructors enjoyed any assignment of hers they read. Kim and her brother Chris were set to graduate together in June. Chris with his bachelor’s degree in psychology and Kim’s in English. Kim wanted to pursue a career in writing. A career, her family said, would suit Kim perfectly. Hilda, Dan and Kim’s boyfriend Brandon Grenert said Kim always had a healing and loving way with words. When Chris Holloway was a senior in high school, he was up for an award. He didn’t get it and was devastated. Kim knew this and went up to him and said, “Chris, in the grand scheme of life, it really doesn’t matter that you didn’t get that award. We all know how wonderful you are and you don’t need a piece of paper to prove it.” Dan and Hilda said that was exactly what kind of sister Kim was to her three younger siblings – 26-year-old Jen, 22-year-old Chris and 20-year-old Shannon. “Kim and I used to talk about everything on the nights we couldn’t sleep,” said Jen, who shared a room with Kim. “She would always listen and talk to me.” After Jen moved out, Kim and her youngest sister Shannon did everything together – they shopped together, hung out and went to the movies.
