New program promotes n pm
Living Bank campaign
By DANA SMELSER
Battalion Reporter
A fourth-year Texas A&M University medical
student will speak tonight to the Corps of Cadets
and the Residence Hall Association to promote an
organ donation campaign.
Mark Sicilio is campaigning to encourage stu
dents to have their vital organs, such as eyes and
kidneys, donated when they die to help someone
in need of them.
The Eyes ofTexas A&M Living Bank Project is
a new program sponsored by Student Govern
ment and two service organizations, Alpha Phi
Omega and Omega Phi Alpha, in conjunction
with the Aggie Blood Drive, April 20-23.
The local campaign will provide donors for the
Living Bank, a national, non-profit organ referral
organization.
April 20-23 a student can to sign a form to
donate his organs. Upon the donor’s death, the
doctor contacts the Living Bank to find the
nearest needy recipient.
Laurie Howard, Student Government com
mittee chairman for the project, said the cam
paign was started as an effort to help people live a
longer, fuller life.
“If people would donate their corneas, 30,000
people could see in 10 days,” Howard said.
The Living Bank campaign has not been
w
attempted at any other college or major inst:
tion. “We figure if anybody can make thiscj
