The Greek system at Texas A&M often is thought of
as a group of purely social organizations.
However, Greek Week Chairman Vince Palasota, a
member of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, said the fra
ternities and sororities are trying to promote a different
image during Greek Week.
“We want to show the community that Greeks partici
pate in services for the community and that we are not
just social organizations,” said Palasota, a senior agricul
tural economics major from Mexia.

Childrens’ Day, one of the philanthropies during
Greek Week, was held Tuesday. Fraternity and sorority
members took 65 children from the Bryan Boys’ and
Girls’ Clubs to the Texas A&M vs. Sam Houston State
baseball game, Palasota said.
Before the game, Palasota said, the 7- to 12-year-olds
were treated to a picnic, sponsored by Dairy Queen, at
Olsen Park. Tickets for the children and their sponsors
to attend the game also were provided.
Five women from each sorority and three men from
each fraternity participated in sponsoring a child.

Sarah Simmons, a junior elementary education ma
jor from San Benito and a member of Alpha Chi
Omega sorority, said having Childrens’ Day during
Greek Week is a great idea.
“The sponsors were paired with a person from an
other fraternity or sorority,” Palasota said. “Then each
“Sponsoring a child is a good way of getting active in
the community and it is something other than going to
a party,” Simmons said. “It also helps kids out by pro
viding them with role models. Even though you are
participating in a service for the community, you can
still have fun at the same time.”
Study: Nuclear power plant
official tried to deter probe
DALLAS (AP) — A TU Electric
project manager at Comanche Peak
nuclear power plant was transferred
in 1985 when authorities learned he
used threats and intimidation to
thwart a safety investigation, records
indicate.
Documents filed with the Atomic
Safety and Licensing Board show
TU Electric reassigned David Wade
after allegations that he blocked
Cygna Energy Services’ access to
utility records and vowed to “bad
mouth” Cygna to the industry.
ity has mismanaged the project.
Among the clocuments were ex
cerpts from a deposition of Nancy
Williams, who headed San Fran-
cisco-based Cygna’s review of the
plant, and a 16-page internal memo
she wrote to Cygna executives in
February or March 1985.
The documents were made public
Tuesday as part of a multibillion-
dollar suit against TU Electric filed
by the $9.1 billion plant’s two mi
nority owners, who contend the util-
Williams said in her note that
Wade had refused her access to
some project records, ordered her to
alter a statement she made to the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
and threatened “upper-manage
ment pressure” if she refused.
Cygna executives met with TU
Electric after receiving the memo
and Wade was reassigned, Cygna at
torney David Pigott said.
Correction
In an article in Tuesday’s Bat
talion, it was incorrectly reported
that two nonvoting members
would be added to the MSC
Council next year. Six new non
voting members — a Faculty Sen
ate representative, the MSC Di
rector for Administrative
Services, the MSC Associate Di
rector for Programs, the MSC As
sistant Director for Marketing
and Organizational Analysis, the
President of the Interfraternity
Council, and a representative of
the Multicultural Services Center,
were added to the council when a
new constitution was approved at
Monday night’s meeting. Nonvot
ing members or their representa
tives can attend the MSC Coun
cil’s meetings.
