Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, December 10, 1966 THE BATTALI^DN Considers SCONA Valuable Natural Charm Shown By Mexican Delegate By LANI PRESSWOOD Rosa Maria Romo is a dip lomacy major but she already possesses a natural charm which can’t be learned in school. She is currently visiting the Texas A&M campus as a member of the International University of Mexico’s delegation to SCONA XL The attractive, dark-eyed dele gate considers SCONA a “per fect experience for all students from foreign countries” and adds, “I’m glad I came, I’ve really enjoyed it.” One of the main differences she has noticed between A&M and her own university is the large number of students here who live on campus. “We only attend school during the hours of class,” she notes, “I live on one side of Mexico City and the university is on the other side.” Like many of the SCONA dele gates, Rosa comments on the friendliness of the A&M campus. “The people here are very hos pitable, and I have also noticed a spirit of community here.” This visit marks only the third trip she has taken to the United States. The first was a stop over in Miami several years ago en route to Europe, the other was a more recent shopping trip to South Texas. Her purpose this time is some what more serious and she brings a quick, keen mind to her task. Her opinions on Southeast Asia, this year’s SCONA topic, are obviously thoughtful and care fully considered ones. “I respect your opinion but I think the problem in Vietnam belongs to those people. I don’t think United States troops should be there. The Vietnamese should choose their own future by them selves. I am for free determin ation and free elections in Viet nam.” Rosa believes that her opinion generally reflects the views of the rest of her delegation on the Vietnam question, and of most citizens of Mexico as well. In speaking of her native coun try she says, “we are an under developed country but we trying to acquire a culture, to better our economic situation, and to develop in all areas of human life.” Does any kind of beatnik or protest movement exist today in Mexico ? “No,” answers Rosa, “we are not economically strong enough for people to be able to be beat niks, the country is still de veloping. In Mexico the students rebel mostly against the gov ernment.” To many Americans, the idea persists that girls in Mexico are always chaperoned on dates. Rosa flashes one of her engaging smiles at this notion. “We are modern, not medieval YMCA Members Set Carol Fest Monday YMCA members will sing Christmas carols in different sec tions of College Station 6:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday. J. Gordon Gay, YMCA general secretary, said other students who wish to join them should meet the group att he IMCA before 6:30. in Mexico,” she explains, “in some cases there are still chap erones but not in mine. And men and women are the same the world over." Rosa, whose father works as a petroleum engineer, is now in her third year of college. She needs two more years after this one to complete her degree be cause her major, diplomacy, re quires five years of study. Afterwards, she plans to con tinue her study in graduate school at the Colegio de Mexico. After finishing there, she hopes to work in international law or in some other field of foreign relations, possibly in the United Nations. TICKETS NOW ON SALE AT BOX-OFFICE OR BY MAIL!

And when he has a fever — she always fears the worst! Did you know, Mother, that more children fall victim to spiritual neglect than any of the crippling diseases we dread? It has wrecked the fond hopes and bold dreams of hun dreds of thousands of parents. Yet it isn’t a disease, at all! It is a HESITATION; hesi tating to start our child in Church School, hesitating to go With him and worship God, hesitating to discuss at home the need for moral and reli gious foundation for the whole family. Face it today! Do something about it next Sunday! Choose YOUR church. And make it YOUR church. And through a lifetime of worship and faith it can be for your child . . . HTS church.

There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regu larly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regu larly and read your Bible daily.
