Omega Psi Phi Fraternity hosted a blood drive Monday through American Red Cross to support former fraternity member Charles R. Drew, who passed away in 1950.

Drew was a physician and medical researcher who developed improved techniques for the storage and preservation of blood that helped save numerous lives during World War II, according to the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science website.

Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated and American Red Cross are inviting TCU students, faculty, staff, and the surrounding community to their "Charles R. Drew Memorial Blood Drive" Nov. 1 at 4:00 p.m. in the Brown-Lupton University Union auditorium.

Omega Psi Phi president, junior Byron Bailey, said his organization hoped to keep their late fraternity brother's legacy alive through this blood drive here on the university's campus.

Voters were frustrated that after eight years of having a Republican in the White House, there were two wars, an economic recession, growing health premiums, an illegal immigration problem, a changing world environment and a national debt.
