Coach Shelby Metcalf said Wednes day. Metcalf, speaking before a small crowd at Snlly’s Symposium, said he had no doubt that his players are clean. “I know we have no drug prob lems on our ballclub,” Metcalf said. “We have a drug-testing policy in the department. I tested every player before we started practice. Then once a week we draw names out of a hat and we test randomly.” Metcalf was answering questions concerning the arrest of two A&M players on thug charges over the semster break. He also said he be lieved the arrests were correct. “There’s no doubt in my mind that it (marijuana) was in their car,” he said. “I believe the law. They’ll go to trial just like anyone else.” Metcalf also explained why he didn’t suspend the two players. “I felt like the guys were clean, so I didn’t see why 1 should keep them off the team,” Metcalf said. “I be lieve I did the right tiling. “There’s a lot of writers who wanted me to kick them off the team, hut most of them are from cit ies where there ate other schools we play. I never had anybody around here tell me to kick them off the team and I think I’ve been fair with them.” Metcalf said he believes in punish ing players privatelv. not publicly. He used a recent incident concern ing a player at the University of Ar kansas who was suspended foi miss ing curfew as an example.

This figure may be higher depending on the hospital. Blood Processing (testing and cross matching) costs $35 per pint: however, most insurance poli cies cover this ex pense. The Aggie Blood Club covers the blood costs (but not the processing fee) for all A&M students, faculty, staff, former stu dents, and all of their fam ilies. Since Wadley does not service St. Joseph or Hu mana Hospital, all blood bills, including the proc essing free, are paid in full by Wadley at these hospitals.
