Leadership training to begin with freshmen
Continued from Page 1
The formalized leadership training
program A&M is considering begins when
cadets are freshmen, and continues
throughout their four years at the academy.
The program involves classroom instruction
that deals with how to communicate with
people, and basic leadership principles.
The program will be taught by other
cadets, people not associated with the Corps
and Corps officials.
Another change in the Corps will be that
cadets will have more access to military
officers.
Military officers probably will not be living
in quarters with the cadets, but will have a
daytime office in the Corps area where they
will have a better chance to talking to Cadets,
Betty said.
Betty said some of the changes, such as
cadets having more access to military officers,
will be implemented either this semester or by
the beginning of next semester. He said the
development of the leadership programs will
take more time, but the programs should be in
place by the middle of next semester or next
fall.
Betty and Ray learned about the
conclusions in the interim report presented by
the fact-finding panel appointed by University
President William Mobley when they returned
to College Station.
Betty said the report "generally aligned"
with their own conclusions and what they
observed at the academy.
"We encouraged to note that through
education, training and guidance, the situation
at A&M with the Corps can and will be
resolved," he said.
Betty said that based on the programs that
Darling has implemented and is considering
implementing, he is convinced that the Corps
"will emerge a stronger, more viable
organization, continuing in the proud tradition
of A&M."
Ray said she agrees with the statement in
the panel's interim report that "boys will be
boys" is no excuse for what is happening in
the Corps, but that cadets need to learn what it
means to be a good leader.
"W^'re dealing with young people," she
said. "They're not adults in the fullest sense of
the word. They're college students and they
are here to learn, and part of our responsibility
is to teach them."
Ray said it is also necessary for cadets to
learn the purpose behind their leadership
training.
"They want to become good leaders, and
it's part of our job to see that they learn what
that means, and what it means to treat people
with dignity, and have a purpose for that
training," she said.
Ray said, however, she did not believe that
discrimination and harassment are as
pervasive in the Corps as the report stated.
"I've spoken to a number of cadets since
I've come here, and I'm afraid I don't have that
picture at all," she said. "I don't think it's that
pervasive."
Ray said that among the differences
between A&M and West Point was the
attitudes of the female cadets there. But she
said this was partly because West Point has
been working on integrating women into the
program longer than A&M has.
Women entered West Point in 1976, and
were integrated in each unit. Women were
allowed into the Corps in 1974, but unit
integration is only two years old.
"The females were more confident in the
way they looked, and they were more
confident in how they fit into the program,"
she said. "That's all a matter of time and
education.
"Discrimination and harassment at West
Point is just not tolerated, and I would say
that's the way it's going to be here."
Betty also said he was not sure if the
discrimination and harassment were as
widespread as the interim report stated.
"Those of us associated with the Corps and
in the Commandant's office have stated that
we do in fact and a problem, and we're going
to have to deal with that," he said. "We can
and will make a difference through time, but
it's not going to change overnight.
"You're talking about an education
problem and you're talking about an attitude
problem, and you don't educate and change
attitudes overnight."
Modern Arabic language
replaces ancient Aramaic
wmm
MAALOULA, Syria (AP) — Within a generation, the sound
of the language that Jesus spoke may fade from this mountair
village, one of the world's few remaining pockets of Aramaic
speakers.
More than 3,000 years old, Aramaic is being continually at
sorbed by modern Arabic — Syria's official language.
In Maaloula, the language is "only spoken, not written/' sai;
Palaija Sayaaf, the mother superior of the St. Takla Greek Orthc H
dox Convent, said to be one of the oldest holy shrines in ChriA
tendom.
"It's being diluted all the time. If the language of our Lord
possibly the oldest in the world, is to survive," the children®
should be formally taught it at school, she said. V<!>l.91 No
The 44-year-old nun, swathed in the black robe of her order
said that down through the centuries the language has bee:
passed verbally from generation to generation by the people of
Maaloula and two smaller nearby villages, Jaba'din and Najafa.
"I hope it will never die because it's a link with the Lord Jesus
and is very precious. The people here are proud of this tradition
of having kept the language alive all this time.
But she said the children, bombarded by Arabic, are mispro
nouncing the language, and there are fears that Aramaic could
die within a generation or two.
The language's survival is also threatened by people driftin-
away from the mountains to the cities and beyond, to A menu H The Te
and other faraway lands. /||i Bard of I
Such records as there were of Aramaic, which is close; me rger o
linked to Hebrew and Syriac, are believed to have been de Caves ton
stroyed during the French mandate from 1922 to 1946.
