...students who showed up tried to slink in and out the door, guarded on each side by a bunny. When one student managed to escape without being given a Blood Drive balloon, the escort said excitedly, "Give him a balloon, give him a balloon." The student kept going, saying he didn't want one. "He didn't want one," Goldie said, grinning. The escort frowned...
