Page 8AThe Battalion/Monday, January 27, 1986 Dry rush at A&M? Fraternity recruits pledges without alcohol By MELANIE PERKINS Reporter The Alpha Tau Omega fraternity at Texas A&M is trying to prove it’s possible to have a good rush and a good time without alcohol. The fra ternity is having a dry rush this se mester, meaning they won’t be serv ing any alcohol at rush parties. Mike Lake, interfraternity council rush chairman, said he feels the fra ternity is setting a good example. And he said ATO was ahead of the game because next semester rush at A&M probably will be dry. “The National Interfraternity Council is pushing hard for a dry rush, and I don’t see any way around it,” Lake said. Lake said he thinks people will continue to come to rush parties be cause they want to know what frater nities are like. He said drinking shouldn’t be the only thing to draw people to the parties. Steve Price, ATO rush chairman, says the fraternity’s first dry rush party was an “oversuccess.” “People are showing their class by coming out here and not getting drunk,” he said. ATO President Sam Lorimer said ATO chose to have dry rush after their province chief suggested it. And he said the increased awareness of alcohol abuse also contributed to the decision not to serve drinks. “It’s obvious that the guys who are here are interested in the frat — be sides, drunks run off good people,” Lorimer said. ATO fraternity member Eric Kay- sen said dry rush will not hurt ATO’s chances of getting pledges. here partygoers bid wilt t, which they won at theca auction where toy money sino games. But Kaysen said the t quor was not for consumption at tht party Tony Fowler, ATO treasurer,* fraternities are inviting people totlif parties with more creative incentive than free beer. Flashy advertising food and theme parties are bein; used rather than free liquor But he said the ATO isn’t adver tising the party as dry hoping it keep attendance high. Tricia Levinge thought the partiei wouldn’t be as fun without alcohol But she conceded that the fratera ties might gain something from tht idea. e the ones we oor at midnight “We don’t pour out the front anyway,” he said. Partygoer Martha Kurrus said the first party was well organized. She said everyone seemed more civilized, and the whole party was spent social izing rather than standing in line for beer. The party, which had a casino night theme, ended with a liquor “They’ll probably be able to tell; lot more about the guys becau* they’re not falling all over themsci ves,” Levinge said. Kathy Gunderson said having; dry rush this semester was a bat strategic move. She pointed outthi: if the fi-aternities agree to a dry rust next semester, the spring semeste: was probably ATO’s last opportunii to have a large rush. Fowler said rush will be a lot cheaper without the alcohol. He* it isn’t unusual to spend Jl.OOOonli quor for a single party. Chihuahua opposition party won’t boycott state elections Associated Press CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mexico — The opposition National Action Party, which had threatened to boy cott this summer’s Chihuahua state gubernatorial elections to protest electoral law changes, met Sunday to choose its candidate. Juarez Mayor Francisco Barrio Terrazas, Chihuahua City Mayor Luis H. Alvarez and Parral Mayor Gustavo Villarreal Posada sought the nomination for what they hope will be their party’s first gubernato rial victory in the country. National Action, known by its Spanish acronym as PAN, had threatened to boycott the July 6 elec tion because of recently imposed electoral laws the party claims are discriminatory and encourage voter fraud. The PAN claims the ruling Insti tutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, uses unfair tactics such as chan ging the election laws and resorting to ballot box stuffing to make sure it maintains control over the country. “It is very clear that the aim of these laws is to facilitate electoral fraud,” Barrio said. Saul Gonzalez Herrera, governor of this state along the U.S. border, named a bipartisan panel to discuss the new electoral amendments but no action has been taken. Pablo Emilio Madero, PAN na tional president, predicted that the party “will win despite the laws.” He pointed to the standing-room- only crowd thatjammed the civic au ditorium in the state capital and said the party would not boycott the elec tions because “the people are in clined to participate.” Barrio said the PAN plans to “convince the government that the political consequences will be less la mentable if the vote is respected.' The PAN leaders would not sa> what action the party might takeii they don’t consider the elections fait Barrio said, “We don’t believeu violence as a solution.” The PRI, which has controlled Mexican politics for more than half; century, never has lost a presidential or gubernatorial election. But the PAN, the largest of Mexi co’s eight opposition parties, sur E rised the dominant party in 198i y winning seven mayoralties, in cluding Juarez and Chinuahua Citv in this vast mining and cattle ranch ing state. But strong gubernatorial cam paigns mounted in northern Nuevo Leon and Sonora states last summer proved insufficient for the PAN, which claims its triumphs were sto len through PRI-orchestrated voter fraud. PRI officials have denied the allegations.
