Grads and Undergrads Pool Efforts In Sickle Cell Program One of the characteristics that distinguishes Alpha from any other greek letter organization is its involvement in issues and programs that affect the welfare of Black people. Alpha Psi chapter and Beta Zeta Lambda chapter of Lincoln University of Missouri have spread their Alpha influence throughout the midwest by way of a sickle cell testing program. The testing program tested 200 persons of an estimated 250. The test involved the use of "sickle decks" tests and required only a small sample of blood to determine if a person had the disease. The test was given by Bros. Owen Abraham, Carl Smith, and Ronald Nelson, all medical laboratory technicians at Memorial Hospital in Jefferson City. Results of the tests were forwarded to individual physicians, and if a person's test was positive his doctor would begin corrective measure and counseling. The program marks the first time a sickle cell program has been conducted in Jefferson City, much as it is in many cities Sickle Cell Anemia is a forgotten disease, the tests were administered free of charge. No only was it used to spot victims of the disease but it also served to educate local residents about all aspects of the age old disease. By sponsoring a community project such as this sickle cell program, the Alphas of Lincoln University of Missouri are doing their part in the fight for the betterment of society. The Sickle Cell Testing Program at Lincoln was the result of the experience and know-how of the graduate brothers coupled with the energy and dedication of the college brothers. This pooling of talents is another giant step in bridging the gap between the young and the old for a worthwhile endeavor.
