Texas A&M University's Corps of Cadets and res

Hotard escort service has been very popular in the

"We expect the Hotard escort service to get into

Blood drive benefits cadet's mom
Over 300 Corps members help honor leukemia victim

was the opening act for Texas' redneck rocker,

The Texas A&M University
Corps of Cadets held a blood dri
ve Friday in honor of a senior
cadet's mother who has leukemia.
Shannon Caldwell, an animal
science major, said he was very
impressed by the number of peo
ple who came out to support his
mother.
"I would guess over 300 people
showed up, but a lot of people
that came couldn't give blood,"
Caldwell said. "I was really
pleased by the turnout. I'd like to
thank everyone for their concern."
Caldwell said he was not able
to donate blood or platelets, the
clotting agent within blood, be
cause he has been donating all
summer for his mother.
Two hundred units of blood
and 20 units of platelets were giv
en during the blood drive.
Caldwell said the drive is to
pay tribute to his mother, not to
raise units of blood for her, be
cause platelets must be used
within 24 hours after they are
withdrawn.
"She had leukemia, and they
had her on chemotherapy,"
Caldwell said. "I think she's get
ting better."
Mando Avila, deputy Corps
commander and a senior political
science major, said the blood dri
ve was planned during the com
mander's conference that was
held two weeks before school
started.
"All the chaplains in the Corps
helped get the word out about the
blood drive," Avila said. But, he
said, getting people to donate
platelets is hard because it takes
so long..
"It's about a two-hour
process," Caldwell said. "They
had a really good turnout."
The blood drive was held in
Lounge F on the Quadrangle from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Caldwell said most of the
donors were Corps members, and
the blood drive was targeted at
the Corps.
