Continu
Rep. Rangel urges Hispanics to stand firm
By Geneen Pipher Sorority sponsors motivational speech
The Battalion
Members of Kappa Delta Chi
Sorority continued their month
long celebration of Hispanic Her
itage Month Thursday night with
a motivational speech on Hispanic
issues by State Rep. Irma Rangel.
Rangel, a democratic member
of the Texas House of Representa
tives and chair of the Hispanic
Caucus, offered a brief history of
Hispanics in Texas and noted that
many Hispanic leaders who
helped shape Texas are left out of
history books.
"We are the people who really
started the state of Texas," she
said. "We had a prominence in
the 1500s. We were the majority.
I want to teach the history that has
not been provided for us. 1 want
young Hispanics to see the
changes that took place and let
them know that we can overcome
the obstacles that face us and do
great things with our lives."
When faced with discrimina
tion or opposition, Rangel encour
aged Hispanics to stand firm, per
severe and never give up.
"If you experience any acts of
discrimination, ignore them," she
said. "Do not allow the experi
ence to make you bitter or angry
because it will take away from
your educational experience and
you will be giving them the satis
faction of knowing they hurt
you."
Rangel said Hispanics have
made great progress, and she has
seen many changes since she be
gan her career.
"We are progressing," she said.
"The obstacles are not as big as
when I was in school. I was the
first Hispanic-American woman
in the Texas Legislature and now
there are seven of us, 26 Hispanic-
American state representatives to
tal. We must go forward but nev
er forget who we are and where
we came from."
Rangel urged Hispanics to give
something back to their communi
ties after graduation.
"You have nowhere to go but
up," she said. "When you achieve
that great success, you must!
those who are not as fortunate as
you. If you want to clean up the
government, you need to become
a leader yourself."
Patricia Moralez, a junior biolo
gy major and president of Kappa
Delta Chi said the speech helped
students to realize that they can
make a difference in society.
"Because we come from such
diverse backgrounds, we often
lose sight of where we come
from," she said. "She helped usto
realize we can be successful and
still remember our heritage."

By Lisa Elliott
A&M making bid
to host regional
RHA conference
The Battalion
By Jan Higginbotham
Students, faculty and members of the Bryan-
College Station community will have the op
portunity to learn more about personal safety
and property protection when the University
Police Department holds a crime prevention
fair today at Rudder Fountain in honor of
Crime Prevention Month.
Among the groups that will be offering in
formation are the Center for Drug Prevention,
Off-Campus Aggies, Bus Operations and A&M

Vendor:
Crime Prevention Officer Cpl. Betty LeMay
said she will have a truck on display that was
vandalized recently when someone tried to
steal it.
UPD will offer demonstrations to teach mo
torists how to protect their cars from theft.
One such demonstration will show mo
torists how to turn the screws in the tailgate
around to prevent tailgate theft which, she
said, is fairly common.
Motorists will have the opportunity to com
pare alarm systems and different kinds of locks
as well.
"We will offer a wide range of information
people would be interested in," she said.
"We're hoping everyone will stop by and play
some games, get some information and some
free candy as well."
LeMay said there will also be demonstra
tions in self-defense, drug prevention, bike
registration and property engraving, as well
as office safety and crime prevention for the
disabled.
The event will be from noon to 5 p.m.
and will consist of games, displays and
demonstrations.
Leadership and exposure are impor
tant benefits that Residence Hall Associa
tion members at Texas A&M University
are looking for as they organize plans for
a regional conference.
The RHA is working on a bid that
could bring the 1994 Conference of the
South West Affiliation of College and
University Residence Halls (SWACURH)
to Texas A&M.
Kirn McNulty, co-chair for the RHA
SWACURH bid committee, said the con
ference would provide a lot of exposure
for Texas A&M. Plus, it would serveasa
leaderships experience for A&M students,
"This would be a good opportunity for
A&M to host this because the other
schools in our region could see what]
A&M has to offer," McNulty said.
Kori Remmler, co-chair for the commit
tee, and McNulty are organizing the bid
that will be presented at this year's!
SWACURH conference November 10-14!
at Oklahoma State University.
