Calling: GTE says equipment not causing problems
Continued from Page 1
“I called my mom and when I
hung up, the phone rang again
and it was her,” Galban said.
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.

Drive: Aggies needed to bleed maroon this week
enl

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.”

Don Ganter, owner of the Dixie
Chicken, said he could not turn
Presley down when she presented
her idea to him.
“He is an Aggie and I bleed
maroon,” Ganter said.
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.
