cellent programming, Britton said.
“Most people see us (the MSC) for our programs, like the Bolshoi Bal
let, Aggiecon and the different types of programs done by our commit
tees,” he said.
Culturally diverse programming is one area that needs continued en
couragement, he said. Multicultural awareness is an important part of edu
cation, he said.
“This is the living room of campus, and what I’d like to do is incorpo
rate diversity into our programs and personnel,” Britton said.
“I want to make sure we evaluate people as individuals,” he said. “A
E lace where they truly can be — as Martin Luther King (Jr.) said —judged
y the content of their character.”
Britton said the quality of students involved with the different commit
tees in the MSC indicates the leadership next year will be exceptional.
“The faculty is going to like what they see in the coming year,” he said.
“We’re going to try to incorporate the faculty more into types of pro
grams the MSC produces,” he said. “I think working with the faculty will
complement the development of the human mind and spirit.”

the Soviet Union,” said Gorbachev,
who has called for all 15 republics to
vote March 17 on whether to pre
serve the union.
He ordered national authorities
and Soviet-controlled officials in
Lithuania to “ensure strict imple
mentation” of the national referen
dum.
That referendum will ask: “Do
you think it is necessary to preserve
the Soviet Union as a renewed feder
ation of equal, sovereign republics in
which the rights and freedoms of
people of all ethnic groups will be
Fully guaranteed?”
The Lithuanian poll asks: “Do you
support the idea that Lithuania must
each other’s cultural background.”
Edwards, a junior finance and ac
counting major, says Carreathers be
gan the program to help incoming
ethnic minority freshmen with tran
sitions to A&M.
In 1988, 37 students attended the
conference, but the number has
grown to more than 400 students.
More than 400 A&M freshmen are
expected to attend the 1991 pro
gram.
This year the orientation is titled
“Together We Can.” and takes place
Aug. 30 through Sept. 1.
On-campus orientation is sched
uled for the weekend before school
and does not conflict with Fish
Camp, Edwards says.
The program has different semi
nars and workshops covering topics
such as A&M life, self-esteem, time
management, leadership and cultu
ral identity, he says.

says.
Harding says ABC approached
A&M last week about holding audi

Past stunts on the show include a
karate-chopping chimp and facial
Edward says about 120 parents
also participated in last year’s pro
gram.
“The biggest thrill of the program
is to watch people move from being
uncomfortable and not knowing
others to feeling comfortable and
making new friends,” Edwards says.
“Hopefully we can instill in Fish
that together you can do anything
you want to,” he says. “We are focus
ing that you can’t win at A&M only
by yourself.”
The I CARE program also is part
of the ExCEL format. I CARE is a
support program for freshmen that
deals with different themes during
the school year, Edwards says.
“The I CARE program is to let
these freshmen know that someone
does really care,” he says. “I CARE is
like ExCEL but is a continuous proc
ess throughout the school year.”

resent these patients.
Self said those who contract AIDS
should be classified as having en
gaged in high-risk behavior, not be
longing to a high-risk group. It is the
behavior, not the group, that deter
mines the likelihood of contracting
AIDS. Those in typically high-risk

intravenous drug users, do not nec

Voters must answer “Yes” or
“No.” Soviet experts have noted that
both questions are loaded to elicit
“Yes” responses.
At least five republics have re
fused to hold referendums under
Soviet law, which they reject on their
territory.
Three of the republics, including
Lithuania, scheduled alternative
polls. Gorbachev’s decree Tuesday
did not mention Estonia’s vote on
March 3 or Georgia’s on March 31.
The decree as reported by Tass
did not say what measures would be
taken to enforce the March 17 vote.

All AIDS victims are HIV posi
tive, but not all those who are HIV
positive have AIDS. Self said studies
have estimated that 30 percent of
those who test HIV positive develop
AIDS symptoms in five years. The
other 70 percent show signs of AIDS
after five years.
Self said the Centers For Disease
Control in Atlanta and the National
Institutes of Health estimate 25 mil
lion Americans are HIV positive and
most don’t know they have the dis
ease.
Other figures say one in 10 babies
are born HIV positive, and that
number climbs to one in four in New
Jersey, he said.
AIDS is the leading cause of death
among men 25-to-40-years-old in
New York.
