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.

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.
