pa Alpha Theta Sorority, the sorority participating in
the mixer with ZAE, said she hopes the fallout from
the incident won't shade A&M and its Greek system
in a negative light.
"Hopefully (the incident) won't reflect upon
A&M as a whole," Davis said, "and obviously it's
up to the (Interfraternity Council) judicial board to
decide what comes out of this."
Dr. Michael Leese, Interfraternity Council Adviser
at Texas A&M, said he did not want to speculate on
the possible repercussions facing ZAE either.
"It could range anywhere from a slap on the
hands to expulsion or suspension from A&M," Leese
said. "I think it'll be somewhere in between."
However, he said he would not be surprised if
part of the penalty handed down by the IFC would
require the £AE fraternity to present some kind of
workshop on multiculturalism to the Greek system
and other student organizations.
Leese said he hopes the punishment is severe
enough to get the attention of the Greek community
and student organizations and make them aware
that thought must go into theme parties.
"In the three years I've been here this is the first
case we've had that has involved the question of
racial discrimination," Leese said.
According to Leese, racism is a problem not only
associated with the Greek system, but is also preva
lent in society in general.
"It's a problem with Greeks, it's a problem I think
all over campus and it's a problem with our whole
society," Leese said. "It's not something that just ex
ists with one fraternity."
The ZAE fraternity is scheduled to appear before
the IFC Judicial Review Board today at 7 p.m.
The review board is comprised of 9 members of
the interfraternity council with no more than one
member representing any particular fraternity.
One member serves as the chief justice with 8 jus
tices. According to Leese, tonight's board will oper
ate with only eight members because one member of
the board stepped down due to his membership in
XAE fraternity.

to some people is all that matters."
Monk said he and his brothers
understand they need to be aware
of cultural sensitivities.
"We're really trying to let peo
ple understand that we realize it
may not be right," Monk said.
"And we're sorry."
Monk said he and his brothers
also wanted people to understand
they did not mean for their "Jun
gle Party" to offend anyone. An
other letter sent to The Battalion by
members of a Texas A&M sorority
said the charges against ZAE were
" u nsu bs ta n ti a ted."
The letter said the party was
"simply a party with a jungle
theme," and not a "celebration of
one of the most terrible crimes
against humanity" as a letter by a
Dallas band member stated.
Jana Cox, co-author of the let
ter sent to The Battalion, said she
doesn't feel the charges against
XAE are fair and feels the band
member making the charges is so
far removed from the Greek system
at A&M that his view was jaded.
"I didn't see any pledges being
chased around or hunted. It was
just a jungle party," Cox said.
"Yes, their faces were painted
black, they were wearing grass
skirts and they carried spears,"
Cox's letter stated. "But it ap
peared to us they were dressed
more like members of a tribe than
slaves."
"I don't think they're being
treated fair," Cox said.
Both letters defended the in
tegrity of ZAE and its president
Michael Hebert, and pointed out
that numerous members of XAE
and KAO are members of various
campus and community service
organizations.
"Having such an extensive in
volvement in activities outside the
Greek community, we understand
A&M's tradition of promoli;
multiculturalism and (we)tij
promote this idea in ever)' adt
we participate in," Cox's letters
ed.
"Greeks have enough negit
publicity without unsubstanfei
claims of racism."
Substantiated or not, the it
decision will be given ti
evening by the Interfrateiir
Council Judicial Review Bon

-ing moderate enough to appeal
to Southern whites, said Impson.
"Perhaps Wallace went
through some great conversion,
perhaps he actually changed the
way he thought about blacks,"
Impson said. "Either he's a pretty
good liar or he's sincere. He's
probably a pretty good liar."
Impson also cited examples of
other politicians who were segre
gationists at one time and now
supported civil rights.
Strom Thurmond, a third party
candidate for president in 1948, ran
on a platform opposing civil rights.
Now a Republican senator from
South Carolina, Thurmond was
among the strongest supporters of
Clarence Thomas, said Impson.
As for how thingsare now.
Impson said that the formula!!
Democratic victory has age
changed.
"There are a lot of people,Jes
Jackson for instance, that are:u
particularly satisfied with 1
Clinton," said Impson.
Clinton realizes blackshau
nowhere else to go, sohewilltei
down the rhetoric to appeals
more conservative soufa
whites and hope that blackvota
will not stay home, saidImpsoi
Impson said that hebeliera
the "quota issue" is today's fa
of race baiting by the Republican
and also said he thinks thesckd
choice issue has racial overta
that many do not realize.
"This business of theprira
schools, I think, is a wayofpm
moting white flight out ofiiw
city schools," said Impson.
Impson said he heardaleai»
Texas historian say segregate:
schools could again become tie
norm if we continue on thepai
we are on now.
EPA drops penalty
on oil companies
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency has dismissed more than
$4 million in civil penalties
against 38 oil and gas companies
accused of releasing tainted water
into a salt playa.
''The attorneys for the 38 pro
ducers had asked me to review
it," said George Alexander, re
gional counsel for the EPA in Dal
las, adding that the examination
triggered the decision to drop the
fines.
The EPA said 23 of the produc
ers were Texas-based, nine were
from New Mexico, three were in
Oklahoma, two were in Colorado
and one was in Wyoming. The
penalties had been imposed Aug.
3. The companies allegedly con
tracted with B & E Inc., a Carlsbad
trucking and disposal company,
to discharge "produced water"
into Laguna Quatro in southeast
ern New Mexico's Eddy County.
Produced water, sometimes
called oil field brine, is highly
salty ground water containing ra
dioactive and other toxic pollu
tants.The brine, a waste piofc
of oil production, usually is iuj
ed deep njidergrpund wht
wildlife cannot be exposed.B
EPA alleges the dischargesM
