Thomas is the chairwoman of
MSC Student Conference on Na
tional Affairs, a senior business ma
jor, a Muster committee member
and she works 16 hours a week.
Even though Thomas, who savs
she sometimes attends between eiy;!u
and SI meetings a week, usually be
gins her day with a 7 a.m. meeting,
me says this semester is the first time
she isn’t over-involved.
' *Tve enjoyed being able to put
100 percent in one thing" Thomas
saw. "I’ve finally seen what (he re
sults of my capabilites are."
‘>y
woman who has served as SCONA
chairman, but she is the first to be se
lected through the rigorous inter
viewing process now used.
“SCONA has probably one of the
best interviewing process I’ve been
through, certainly the hardest,”
Thomas s^ys.
Thomas says SCONA has been a
great experience. She says - it has
given her an opportunity to travel
around the United Slates and meet
important people.
Thomas says she doesn’t get ner
vous meeting and speaking with in
fluential people because sne knows
that what she has to say is important.
“You can’t say something like
SCONA is fun — it’s work." Thomas
says. “The fun comes from doing the
best thal you can, and the real fun
comes from seeing the results of
what you’ve done.”
Thomas says she would describe
herself as determined, and she is de
termined to experience all she can in
her life.
This determination has caused
Thomas problems in the past be
cause she wanted to be involved in
activities related to each of her inter-
ests. Thomas savs there isn’t enough
time for her to be involved in every
thing she wants.
Thomas says she can’t stand the
thought of not being involved and
doesn’t want just to be on someone's
staff.
here tonight
By TAMARA BELL
Staff Writer
In Mexico, the nine days before
Christmas are celebrated with a
procession called Luminarios.
At Texas A&M. the Luminarios
will be celebrated tonight at 6 p.m. at
All Faiths Chapel.
The procession, sponsored by the
MSC Committee for Awareness of
Mexican-American Culture, is a re
enactment of Mary and Joseph's
search for an inn, says Mary fane
Rodriguez, public relations officer
for the committee.
“Luminarios, or posada, is a His
panic tradition,” she says. "It begins
on Dec. 16 and continues for eight
nights. There’s the procession, then
a rosary and finally a fiesta. Every
night at the fiesta, Mexican pastries
and hot chocolate arc serveo. A pi-
nata is broken every night, too.
“Each night Mary and Joseph are
turned away because there’s no
room at any of the inns. On the last
night, Christmas Eve, they are al
lowed shelter.”
The luminarios. candles in paper
sacks, are in front of the house, Ro
driguez says. The symbolism is the
family that lets Mary and Joseph into
their home also lets the baby Jesus
into their lives.
Rodriguez says the procession at
A&M will last only one night for
about an hour. Because of dead
week, she says they didn't want to
keep people away from studying for
too long
The posada will start at All Faiths
Chapel, she says. A short song will be
sung in Spanish before Mary and Jo
seph, played by Alma Naidonado
and Sergio Lujan, begin their jour
ney
Christmas carols will be sung in
English as Mary and Joseph travel to
the three “inns:” Legett. Purvear
and Hart halls. At each stop, a com
mittee member will sing a negative
response in Spanish to the <|uestion
“Is there any room at the inn.’'”.
When the procession reaches the
MSC, Mary and Joseph will lie al
lowed shelter. Rodriguez savs. Can
dles, luminarios, will surround the
side of the MSC which faces Rudder
Tower. Then the profession will
move to the nativity scene and sing
“Silent Night.” (knikies and punch
will lie served atterwards
To add authenticity to the proc
ession. Rodriguez says Mary and Jo
seph will be wearing costumes. She
savs she tried to rent a donkev, but
because of liability she couldn't get
one.
Rodriguez says the procession is
the committee’s gift to the A&-M
community. The candles will be set
up at the MSC today and Wednes
day for people to see. she says.
Second languages good for international businesses
ByNELDA PENA
Reporter
Although English is considered
the primary international language,
a lerson has a better understanding
o{ business negotiations if he is fa-
mpliar with foreign languages, said
the department head of modem lan-
TiTLo- F. Costa, one of four
members discussing the im-
of second languages in in-
* business, spoke Monday
night at a program sponsored by the
MSC IntemationaJ Programs Com
mittee.
Fhe program featured three fac
ulty members and one student. The
panel discussed their views on sec
ondary languages.
Costa said a person should expect
more out of a second language than
just “chit-chat."
The learning of a second lan
guage helps a person better under
stand the culture of the second lan
guage, he said.
The same view was shared bv the
rest of the panel.
l.ee Ann Heard, a graduate stu
dent in the business college, said her
internship experiences increased
her awareness of both the cultural
and business aspects of other coun
tries.
Heard interned this summer in
West Germany with company which
manufactures Porsches. She has an
undergraduate degree in German
and says it helped her communicate
with the Porsche executives.
Deanna Wormuth, coordinator of
the English Language Institute, said
English is defined as the world lan
guage for communicators.
“The Language to best succeed in
business communications is Eng
lish," Wormuth said
Dr. Frances Edwards, an assistant
management professor, related to
the audience some of her experi
ences as director of the English cur
riculum at Tokoyo’s English Aca
demy.
