UNI students donate plasma for revenue

Saving lives and saving money

Taking a full load of classes and working a parttime job can be stressful for many students. Between scheduling work around class and balancing free time, it can be hard to keep up both academically and financially. “I really do not have enough free time between my job and school to have another job to make extra spending cash,” said University of Northern Iowa junior Luke Roseland. “Most of my money goes towards tuition and rent, so there isn’t really any money left for spending purposes.” However, in recent years, donating plasma has become another way to make money. Instead of working many hours, students can donate plasma

and make up to $50 a week. BioLife Plasma Services is a plasma donation center in Cedar Falls, and it is just a five minute drive from campus. Some students make the trip several times a week to keep their finances in line. Roseland, the video coordinator for the UNI football team, has been donating plasma at BioLife twice a week since he was a freshman. Traveling with the team and attending practices eats up a lot of Roseland’s time, so he donates whenever he has a break between school and practice. “If I did not donate at BioLife, I would have no other way to pay for my groceries, gas and rent since I am living off campus,” said Roseland. Roseland also pointed out how handy money

from BioLife can be when unforeseen expenses occur. “I broke my phone and had to buy a completely new one, but since I had BioLife money saved up I was able to purchase a new phone,” said Roseland.

“BioLife gives me the freedom to be financially comfortable at all < See PLASMA,

In the middle of every Panther football experience is a musical spectacle that consumes the whole field. With 280 performers representing 79 majors, this year’s Panther Marching Band is the largest band in the history of the University of Northern Iowa. A week before classes started the band showed up on campus to begin rehearsals. Those seven days consisted of practices that began at 8:15 a.m. and ended at 9:30 p.m. During the school year the band rehearses three days a week and before football games. The Panther Marching Band puts on four different shows during the season as < See BAND, page 5
