Unlike presidential or mid-term elections when candidates’ cam paigns tend to create excitement over specific issues, Brazos County voters only have amendments to ap prove or reject on Tuesday’s ballot. Brazos County Tax Assesor-Col- lector Gerald "Buddy” Winn said few amendments are being pro moted. Many obstacles keep students from voting, Hurley said. For exam ple, many students are registered in their home precincts, she said, be cause they do not feel they are a part of this community. When elections come up, few students actually vote in their home precincts nor do they vote absentee. Consequently, some students simply do not vote, she said. Moreover, Hurley said college students are distracted by studying and extracurricular activities. Unfortunately, the lower the turnout, the less likely the election will mirror the public opinion, Hurley said. Hurley said that in 15 years, how ever, the turnout rate for today’s col lege students will have increased in part because they will probably feel more a part of their community. Lo cal school district elections, for ex ample, will be important because their children will be in those schools. In addition, college education is one factor that has been shown to in crease turnout, Hurley said. “People just don’t take them (amendments) for what they are,” Winn said. “They don’t realize what an impact the amendments have on everyday life. We take voting and our way of life for granted. I guess it’s human nature.” Greeks (Continued from page 1) and greek games. Monday is Banner Day at the houses. The banners are entered in a spirit contest that will be judged by Mrs. Janet Slocum and Mrs. Jane Mobley, Peterson said. The contest requires all entries to say “Texas A&M University” and this year’s Greek Week theme, “And the Greeks shall inherit the earth.” Tuesday, a greek life seminar and an award assembly will be held in Rudder Tower, he said. The banner contest results will be announced and awards given. The director and student coordinator of United Way will speak to the greeks about how the proceeds of Greek Week will be used. Peterson said the greeks have been raising funds for United Way by selling T-shirts, sponsoring a can drive and selling advertisements in a Greek Week booklet. Wednesday is Letter Day. Peter son said the greek organizations whose members wear their letters on Wednesday will win spirit points when they sign in at a designated ta ble in the MSC. Thursday is Greek Night Out at the Zephyr Club. The cover charge will be $ 1 for all greeks wearing their letters, Peterson said. All dollar pro ceeds are donated to United Way. Friday is Children’s Day at Post Oak Mall. Forty children from the Bryan Boys Club have the opportu nity to shop, eat and play games with the participants in Greek Week, Pe terson said. The mall will provide balloons, two-for-one food deals and arcade tokens for the children. “Last year, children’s day really went well,” Peterson said. “We didn’t want to leave when the time came, we were having too much fun.” Friday night is Greek Night Out at the Mercury Bar. Peterson said the Mercury Bar is offering the same $ 1 cover, also donated to United Way. Saturday, Greek Week is sponsor ing Greek Games at Southwood Val ley Park. Peterson said the organiza tions will participate in flag football, volleyball, kick ball, tug-of-war and an obstacle course competition. Although trophies will be awarded to the first and second place winners of the games, Peterson said that the day will be “more funny than competitive.” Awards to the organizations who have demonstrated the most spirit throughout the week will also be given on Saturday, he said. Peterson said Greek Week shows that greeks are not just interested in having fun. “We want to be seen in a different light,” he said.
