The annual event’s activities started off in the MSC Friday with a roundtable discussion be tween A&M cadets and delegates representing eight military acade mies and colleges. The topic was “Adapting to Change,” and in cluded talk on changes within military schools — “Has the mis sion of military academies changed?” —how the schools deal with new leadership, discipline and female cadets. Mike Jumper, a senior bioengi neering major from San Antonio, who served as moderator of the discussion, said one to five cadets from each of the following insti tutions will participate in the weekend activities: The Military Academy in West Point, N.Y.; the Air Force Aca demy in Colorado Springs, Colo.; the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Va.; North Georgia College in Dahlonega, Ga.; the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, N.M.; the Merchant Ma rine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y., and Norwich University in Northfield, Vt. Jumper said the delegates in clude those commanders and highest ranking cadets who were available to attend. Activites will resume after lunch at 1:30 p.m. with a press conference, moderated by Juniper, in 226 MSC. Delegates will participate in a Corps Run at 5 p.m. before fin ishing off the evening at the “Combat Bash” at 9 p.m. at the Lakeview Club on Tabor Road in Bryan. Jumper said a military review will start at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the Gen. Ormond R. Simpson Drill Field in front of the MSC. Jumper said the Corps will re vive an old tradition Saturday when it forms a block “T” on Kyle Field to take pictures. Although the visitors will not participate in the picture, a ban quet will be held in their honor in 201 MSC at 6 p.m., and the Mili tary Ball will follow at 9 p.m. in the same room. The guests will be escorted by civilian female A&M students. “It’s traditional for us to have non-reg escorts for the visiting ca dets,” Jumper said. “I don’t know how word gets out, but it does.” He said he had about 40 girls call wanting to be escorts. Among other distinguished guests this weekend are members of the Corps Development Coun cil. Jumper said the council is made up of former cadets who support the Corps both with re cruitments and financial endow ments. By Jeff Pollard Staff Writer Texas A&M’s Student Govern ment will hold an international assembly of students for the eighth annual Conference on Student Government Associa tions this weekend. COSGA will bring together student representatives from Cal ifornia, New York and Maine, as well as from schools in Texas. Barbara Bell, chairman of the COSGA organizing committee, said the conference was started to provide student government peo ple with the opportunity to get to gether and exchange ideas that might be helpful. “This year we are expecting about 320 delegates from 75 schools,” Bell said. “They’re coming from as far away as the University of Alaska in Anchorage and McMaster Uni versity in Ontario, Canada,” she said. Mark Huttram from McMaster said his school’s programs are dif ferent from A&M’s. He said his group is coming to the conference to get ideas about ways to increase student services. “We’re here looking for ways to increase our spirit activities and hopefully give some people new ideas for student services,” Huttram said. The conference begins on Sat- African author to discuss apartheid Mark Mathabane, lecturer and author of “Kaffir Boy,” will dis cuss his experiences as a victim of apartheid and the culture inher ent in South African society at a Rudder Forum Monday at noon. Mathabane will speak for about an -hour outside Rudder Tower near the fountain. “We hope to broaden the Ag gie perception of South Africa,”- said Claudia Hoste, a director of MSC Jordan Institute for Inter national Awareness. “South Africa: Through the Eyes of Mark Mathabane,” is a free program presented by MSC Jordan Institute for International Awareness, MSC Black Aware ness Committee, MSC Great Is sues and the College of Liberal Arts. Doug O’Brien, chairman of the Jordan Institute, said Mathabane grew up in South Africa. Mathabane departed from South Africa after he was given a scholarship to play tennis, O’Brien said. Student Government holds conference urday with icgistration from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and welcoming speeches by Bell, Student Body President Mason Hogan and Dr. Carolyn Adair, director of stu dent activities at A&M. Other speakers scheduled in clude Vice President for Student Services Dr. John Koldus, motiva tional speaker Dan Clark and for mer A&M Student Body Presi dent and Washington D.C. lobbyist Fred McClure. The rest of COSGA’s activities are centered around the intro duction of ideas and the dis cussion of ways to improve stu dent government. Four workshop sessions on topics ranging from community service to ethics will be held on Sunday and Monday. Roundtable discussions be tween delegates from schools of equal size will be held Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Tommy Chamber of the COSGA promotions sub-commit tee said a “swapshop” will be held before the close of the conference on Tuesday. “Most delegates bring informa tion about their schools, as well as other novelties, to the conferen ce,” Chamber said. “The swapshop gives them a chance to exchange these items,” he said.
