"I disagree with people fussing
and complaining about people not
following traditions," Kolduns
said. "It < S'4fraicUtion. Mstriot a law.
"People can do what they want
to do," Koldus said.
Jim Reynolds, director of the
MSC, said the MSC has attempted
to represent minorities better.
"Among Aggies that received
the Congressional Medal of Hon
or, there were no minorities," he
said. "So a student suggested an
art exhibit identifying all of the
Congressional Medal of Honor
winners."
Reynolds said the MSC has not
been able to obtain this exhibit.
but will continue to try to repre
sent minorities at the MSC.
"In the meantime, we will be
looking for other exhibits," he
said. "We are always searching
for exhibits to represent minori
ties."
Efforts to represent minorities
at the MSC are valuable, but
Koldus said other alternatives
should be pursued.
"I personally feel we should
educate people on traditions and
attempt to explain why we have
them," Koldus said.
Carreathers said the Universi

should focus on the entire Univer
sity instead of one object to com
memorate minorities.
"When we talk about being a
diverse campus, this should per

want to take off your haf at the
MSC, it's your business."
Carreathers said traditions
mean different things to different
people.
"Minorities may see a tradition
differently than white students,"
he said. "Black males wear hats all
the time now."
"When we decided to accept a
diverse group of students into this
University, we had to accept theit*
attitudes and personalities as
well," Carreathers said.
