Week-long Bedlam Blood Battle Wrapped Up Yesterday Evening

The week-long Bedlam Blood Battle between OU and OSU wrapped up yesterday at the ROTC Armory.

Students helped save lives while competing to beat Oklahoma State University. They also received free mini physicals, food, and a chance to win prizes.

"We’ve basically beg everyone to realize this is a huge event and it’s saving thousands of lives and it’s really students competing to win, and at the same time just save the community," said Andrea Heister, the events manager for Oklahoma Blood Institute.

This is the first year OU and OSU have had blood drive competitions against each other.

The official winner of the Bedlam Blood Battle will be announced at the winning school during a trophy presentation Monday afternoon.

Justice For All Group Heads to OU Campus to Teach Students About Abortion

The Justice for All group visited the University of Oklahoma campus today.

Students are able to learn about the effects of abortion on the unborn baby and the pregnant person.

"We travel to college campuses and ... help college students become more aware of what the reality of abortion is to that undeveloped child in the womb," Tammy Cook said, a worker with the Justice for All group.

The Kansas-based group travels to college campuses across the country and has been doing so for 12 years. They bring large displays, including two "Free Speech Boards" on which students and passers-by can voice their opinions.

Cook said it may be a year or two before Justice for All is back at the University of Oklahoma.
