East of Texas Ave. & University Dr. Intersection Speaker says Greeks need to up responsibility By Jan Higginbotham Members of Texas A&M's Greek system have a responsi bility few people could ever have, a speaker told members of A&M's Greek community Sunday night. Dr. Will Keim, a public speaker and campus minister who travels across the United States to speak to Greek orga nizations, said it is important for all Greeks to accept re sponsibility for their brothers and sisters. "We're only as strong as the weakest house on campus," Keim said. Greeks have several choices they have to make if they are going to survive at Texas A&M, he said. "Studying has to be the number one priority of every house on campus," he said. "We need to prepare scholars." Fraternities and sororities need to make studying impor tant, and they also must make an effort to serve their commu nity and to include a variety of people in fheir organizations, Keim said. He said Greeks have to take the initiative to not haze, to be sexually responsible, to learn to use alcohol responsibly, and to live drug-free. Keim said Greeks have the best thing going, and they must get out and let people know. "It is our responsibility to build bridges," he said. Members of the Uhl chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity perform a part of their step sequence that helped them win first place in the Sixth An- Students emphasize Latino culture, destim By Jose de Jesus Ortiz The Battaliun See Greeks/Page 5 Over 400 Latino students from colleges throughout the South west attended the seventh annual Committee for the Awareness of Mexican American Culture(CA- MAC) conference on Latino Af fairs this weekend. Dr. Michael Olivas, law pro fessor at the University of Hous ton's Law School, said Latino students should strive for more than an undergraduate degree and take advantage of their op portunities at A&M. "There has never been a better time to be at schools for Lati nos," he said. "We produce too many lawyers and engineers but not enough Latino lawyers or en gineers." Olivas said in his speech, titled "Is the glass half-full or half-emp ty?", that Latino students need to realize the job market works dif ferently for them. "Let us look at putting our selves in these positions," he said. "That will be the day that the glass will be entirely full. "What they (Americans) fear the most is not us as gang mem bers, pachueos or cholos, but as us becoming lawyers, doctors, intel lectuals, engineers and judges." Olivas said Latinos haveo a long way at A&M. I ,im ,i .ImiiisIk'J til hoH«M sa g ra| Lady Mu 5 n POWER NETWORKING SEMINAR SENIORS TONIGHT FEB. 28 AT 2 P.M. & 5 PM.
