I’m afraid she will have to be the one to get us back out. It just -hasn’t been a good year for recre ational lakes in Texas.” ‘Mother Nature got us into this because there just hasn’t been enough rain. I’m afraid she will have to be the one to get us back out. It just hasn’t been a good year for recreational lakes in Texas.’— Ron Ruffennach, assis tant public affairs officer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District. Until increased rainfall does re plenish the lake, the Army Corps of Engineers constantly surveys for any tree stumps or gravel bars danger ously close to the surface. “We close off these dangerous areas with safety buoys,” Ruffen nach said, “but we’re only human and can’t mark every last one of them. Therefore, we depend on people using common sense before they go boating or skiing. “Too often, people just take off without any preparation,” Ruffen nach said. “But they can pay all too dearly, especially in low-water condi tions like the ones we have now.” Ruffennach said the biggest prob lem is not that people drive their boats at high speeds, however. “Launching is the biggest problem for the inexperienced weekend boa- ler,” he said. “Right now, becauseii the number of ramps that are\i tually unusable at present levelsi many of our lakes, the problem compounded.” Despite its great hazardous poiej tial, the low water levels have been attributed as the cause of of the deaths that have occurredij the 22 Texas Corps lakes this si* mer. “We like to think that that fact In something to do with us,” Ruff* nach said.

The Village of Hope is a campus wide project begun last year to pro vide funds for necessities, such as food, clothing and medical care to the needy children in Amaga, Co lombia.

Black students find ‘comfort zone’ in sororities By JULIA HARDY Reporter Two women’s groups on campus are trying to make black students feel more comfortable at Texas A&M, says Carolyn Adair, director of student activities. Delta Sigma Theta and Alpha Kappa Alpha are two black service sororities at A&M. These sororities “find black students coming in and give them a sense of belonging, as well as getting black students that are already here involved,” Adair said. “We want to help bring black students into the family and create a comfort zone.” These sororities will provide a chance for blacks to express them selves, be understood and provide leadership, said Kevin Carreathers, student activities adviser. Cheryl Richardson, Alpha Kappa Alpha president, said the sororities were formed to provide a network that will group black females and provide a sisterhood and support group. Alpha Kappa Alpha was recog nized in October 1983, Richardson said. Delta Sigma Theta received Uni versity recognition in August, 1983, Carreathers said. Both sororities were recognized by A&M because they are service so rorities, Carreathers said. “Many people don’t understand that,” Ricnarson said. “A lot of things we do don’t always appear to be services; for instance, we throw parties because it’s a fast way to make money.” Yolanda McKenzie, a junior pre- med major from Dallas, and presi dent of Delta Sigma Theta, said her sorority currently is focusing on the local community. A “can dance” to give cans of food to community members, and a trip to the elemen tary schools on Halloween to distrib ute candy to children, are just two of the projects Delta Sigma Theta is working on, McKenzie said. Delta Sigma Theta and Alpha Kappa Alpha both plan to tutor ju nior high students in the commu nity, Carreathers said. Also, both so rorities will aid in voter registration, she said. Richardson, a junior electricalen gineering student from Dallas, saii Alpha Kappa Alpha plans on sun ing a tutoring progrom forstudemi at A&M. “Retention of black students J A&M is good, but not as eoodasi could be," Richardson said. “Tutor ing will help freshmen and studeno already here maintain the qualifa tions necessary to stay in school." Currently, the sorority requiresa 2.25 grade-point ratio and comple tion of one semester at A&M, Rich ardson said.
