Jason Jaynes, a freshman com puter science major, said he sometimes has trouble discon necting the phone line. “I made a collect call,” Jaynes said. “I then hung up and called someone else. When I hung up on them, the line was still connected to the first per son even though they weren’t on the line anymore.” Felecia Jones, AT&T trou bleshooter analyst, said that al though there are several possible explanations for the Jaskas’ billing problems, the problems do not originate with AT&T’s service. “They have to make sure the other end hung up,” Jones said. “That is one way it could have overlapped. It could also possi bly be the local company’s switching equipment.” Oscar Gomez, vice president of regulatory and government affairs for GTE, said the switching equipment in Bryan- College Station is probably not causing the problem. “In Bryan-College Station, we have digital technology that is state of the art,” Gomez said. “I have yet to find a problem in our switch. “This customer is going through extremes to bring atten tion to a situation that we have more than adequately explained.” Jaska said she has been of fered several explanations for her phone bills. “GTE said this was happening because of three-way calling,bui we canceled it and we still have the problem,” she said. “They then told us we longer use our answering li machine, fax or cordless phone, What business can you ask not to have a fax or answering ma chine,” Jaska said. Morrison said he will technicians to try to recreate! the situation and determineilf called-party hold is creating the Jbl. 1 Jaskas’ extra charges. “There may be a billingprob lem or it could be something with the way they are calling,' Morrison said. “It could be possible thatthisis happening from the way they wired inside their house, orit could be that I am creating the problem,” he said. I tt \ih Drive: Aggies needed to bleed maroon this week enl Ili Continued from Page 1 Leslie said she has seen pos itive results from similar chal lenges in the past and will be donating blood tomorrow with Toby Boenig, student body president-elect. The drive is Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. People can donate at five campus locations: Sbisa, MSC, the Com mons, Lounge F on the Quad and the Wehner building. Donors must be 17 years or older and weigh at least 110 pounds. Each donor will have a complimentary cholesterol test and mini-physical. Donors will get a T-shirt, Chick-Fil-A sandwich coupon and a chance to enter a drawing April 21 for prizes from local sponsors. Russell Singleton, Alpha Phi Omega blood drive coordinator, said APO will give 900 hours of service during the blood drive this week. “We are sponsoring the drive in the spirit of our rivalry with the University of Texas,” Single- ton said. “We wanted to harness that energy and challenge them.” When the competition is over and the results are compared be tween the schools, Singleton said, the only reward for either school is the satisfaction of helping oth ers and building spirit. The University of Texas held its drive at the end of March and had a goal of 3,000 pints. Cindy Sweatman, BloodCare’s Texas A&M consultant, said that BloodCare’s drives have been an Aggie tradition since 1959. The number of blood donors has decreased in the past few years compared to A&M’s enroll ment, she said. Blood donations at A&M reached a high in 1989 with 5,S’?! pints collected, Singleton said, Only 2,705 pints were collected in 1994, he said. Alan Elias, BloodCare’s direc tor of donor recruitment, said that about 4 million blood trans fusions are needed nationally. “Without blood from the com munity supply collected at drives, such as the Texas A&M drive, many medical and surgical proce dures would not be possible,' Elias said, “and the lives of can cer, cardiac and organ transplant patients, as well as seriously ill newborns, would be lost.” Li IE B Ar l E: Fundraiser: Aid needed for medical expenses of student Continued from Page 1 ten frM Th bra )ar< eeti Th r’s ( al 1 >rar T tk KTSR and Aggie 96.

FVesley said everything at the fundraiser is designed to generate money for Shockley. Joe Shockley said fie has faith that everything will eventually work out for his son’s benefit. “I’m just thankful I still have him,” Shockley said. “I don’t| remember the first time he ate real food when he was a baby,! but I’ll never forget what he ate the first time food went into his mouth after the accident.” “Not too many parents would get excited about feeding their 26 year-old son applesauce, but to | me, it’s pretty exciting,” he said.
