A&M’s ‘Big Kiss’ grosses^
over $5,000 to aid MDA
By MA
By JULIA COKER
Reporter
Despite the lower than expected
turnout, the 1,000 kissers gathered
in Kyle Field for Friday’s “Big Kiss”
outnumbered the participants in the
“Big Kiss” at the University of Texas
and raised more than $5,000 to help
Fight Muscular Dystrophy.
And according to organizers, the
other schools in Texas weren’t able
to field as many kissers either.
Mark Kennedy, member of the
Kappa Alpha fraternity at Texas
A&M, said the fund-raising effort
fell short of the goal. He said they
were hoping to raise as much as
$15,000 for MDA.
Last year A&M set a record with
2,714 kissing participants, which was
later broken by Oregon State Uni
versity.
Belinda Hoppe, president of
Delta Delta Delta sorority at A&M,
said they had hoped the turnout for
the event would have been better
than last year.
However, she said that this year
was good also.
She said, the turnout, was good
especially compared to UT, which
only had about 250 participants.
Yori Escalante, Corps public rela
tions officer, said, “We (A&M) pretty
much buried the other schools. They
were lucky if they had 150 partici
pants.”

UT helped sponsor the Big Kiss in
Austin. A member of the KA f rater

no comment pertaining to the turn

Other Texas schools holding the

Texas prison
farms expect
good harvest
Associated Press
BRAZORIA, Texas — When
prison violence peaked in T exas
prisons less than two years ago, in
mates were confined to their cells
and farm equipment remained idle.
But the Texas Department of
Corrections is taking its tractors out
of mothballs, and prison officials say
they expect a good harvest.
Farming production at the 900-in
mate prison suffered for about 13
months because inmates allowed to
work in the fields were confined to
their cells whenever a convict was
killed or stabbed.
The TDC had a record year of vi
olence in 1984, reporting 404 in
mate assaults and 25 prison homi
cides.
In 1985, 216 TDC inmates were
wounded and 27 were killed.
Prison farms have not been self-
sufficient in several years, but prison
officials said they hope to close the
gap between the food the prison sys
tem must buy and what it produces

By YVONNE DEGRAW
Reporter
Dr. Charles King, director of
the Urban Crisis Center in At
lanta, will speak Tuesday about
modern racism.
The program is sponsored by
MSC Cheat Issues and the MSC
Black Awareness Committee and
will begin at 7 p.m. in Rudder
Theater. Admission is free.
Kyhl Amosson, co-producer of
the program, said King’s speech
is designed to identify, analyze
and help eliminate racism.
King’s message is that racism
does exist in today’s society but
that it’s more sophisticated and
subtle, Amosson said.
King has given similar semi
nars for 15 years and spoke to a
largely black audience at T exas
A&M two years ago, Amosson
said.
Liz Thompson, BAC’s asso
ciate executive vice chairman for
administration, said the com:
