Record-low rainfall throughout
Texas this summer has caused a 7-
foot water level decrease at Lake
Somerville which could pose danger
for boaters and skiers.
“Due to the method of construc
tion we used on the lake there are
trees and some other terraneous fea
tures still lying underwater, and
when the water level drops...well, ac
cidents can happen,” said Ron Ruf-
fennach, assistant public affairs offi
cer for the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Fort Worth District.
“Mother Nature got us into this be
cause 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 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.

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.
