Kir various residence hall associa-
jons to share ideas and, “To gain
lowledge of activities other than
ust dorm mixers, said Curtis
jne, Texas Residence Hall Associ-
pn (TRHA) convention chairman,
[im Snyder, TRHA scheduling
d programming co-chairman, said
| goals of the convention are, “to
reduce the participants to a vi
le social and educational program
Vseas inter-dorm and intra-dorm
ities. And to bring TRHA into a
[rking and productive statewide
;anization, utilizing the resources
|many colleges and universities to
vide a livable and productive
imosphere."
jkpproximately 150 to 200 dele-
ales representing 15 public and
Ivate colleges across the state are
(pected to attend the convention.
[‘Lots of schools, such as South-
|est Texas State and Texas Tech,
interested in developing their
6a programs,” said Greg Hen-
E gton, TRHA president. Hen-
gton was elected president at the
HA convention last year.
Jhe convention begins at 7:30
In. Thursday with a welcoming
tress by Texas A&M President
pis Miller. Friday and Saturday
delegates will attend workshops
sented by Texas A&M staff
mbers. The workshops deal with
:h topics as: “Getting Through
ministration Red Tape” by
Charles Powell, director of student
affairs, “Social Programming,” by
Sue Hodge, assistant residence area
coordinator; and “Getting Involved
in Dorm Intramurals ’ by Jim Jeter,
associate intramural director.
“The convention will be a good
time to meet good people,” said Joe
Nixon, RHA president.
The convention committee or
ganized nighttime activities to give
the delegates an opportunity to get
to know each other. Some of the ac
tivities include a barbecue followed
by a hayride and dance at the Quon-
set huts, and a formal banquet in the
Memorial Student Center ballroom.
The TRHA committee is planning
to film the convention to show at the
first RHA meeting next year. Other
schools may also use the film.
“We want to capture some of the
funny things that happen as well as
the work going on during the con
vention, Cline said.
Texas A&M residence halls are
better organized and more
motivated,” Nixon said. “We can
lend experience and leadership to
other schools.” Hennington said he
wants students to realize thrtt TRHA
is not a political, but an information
gathering and sending organization.
“I hope this will be the best conven
tion yet,” Hennington said.
The cost of the convention is
$27.50 for out-of-town delegates and
$15 for Texas A&M delegates. The
cost includes food and housing for
the delegates.
Texas A&M is expected to send
two delegates from each residence
hall. Interested residents are ad
vised to see their dorm presidents,
for more information.
“There is so much to be gained by
attending this convention,” Nixon
said, “especially for freshman and
sophomores interested in running
for residence hall positions.”

Time stands still at our distillery where we still make Cuervo Gold by hand.
For centuries we’ve wound
our clock by hand.
And for centuries weVe
made Cuervo Gold by hand.
At the Cuervo distillery it's almost as if time has stood still.
Oar Blue Magueys are nurtured by hand, picked by hand,
and carried to the ovens by hand, as they have been since 1795.
It is this continuing dedication to tradition that makes
Cuervo Gold special. Any way you drink it Cuervo Gold will
bring you back to a time when quality ruled the world.
Cuervo. The Gold standard since 1795.
