Page 14 • The Battalion Him ! I r^AMPUS AGD Continued from Page 1 started working on it, but we weren’t allowed to hold formal rush.” Amy Langston, a senior food science and technology major and member of AGD for three years, said she was angry when she found out the chap ter was closing. “I felt like I’d been stabbed in the back,” she said. Moore said she was upset for herself when the chapter closed, but she was also upset for the new AGD members. “We had just initiated al most 20 girls,” she said. “Be fore fall rush we were told to tell the girls that we were not going to be closed down, and everything was going to be fine. “It made me look like a liar when we closed down.” Moore said two women from international headquarters said they were not selling the house, and AGD may be brought back to campus. “It was upsetting because I felt like we were kicked out,” she said. Martin said she felt be trayed and lied to. “I worked really hard to keep the sorority going, and I feel like I worked for nothing,” she said. “I felt like I was kicked when I was down be cause they kept saying we were not going to shut down.” Martin said she was told there was no way the chapter was going to shut down. “If they were not satisfied with the girls in the sorority, then they should have spoken to each one,” she said. After the chapter closed, the members were made alumni, which prevented them from rushing again in another soror ity and prevents them from be ing an active member in the new AGD. Martin said she was not ready to be an alumna. “I really feel sorry for the freshmen who had rushed,” she said. “At least I had a Greek experience, but they didn’t and never will.” Langston said they were never given a reason for why they cannot re-join. “They said we had a bad Greek experience, and they wanted it to end,” she said. Langston said she probably would have joined another sorority if she had been al lowed, but the guidelines stat ed that she could not. Trisha Barber, national pan- hellenic conference delegate, said previous members will al ways be members. “They are now part of a ju nior circle,” she said. “We have 60 to 65 junior circles in the U.S. and Canada. All the women are under 30 years old, and they plan educational pro grams and social events for women in their twenties.” Moore said she is not bitter that AGD is coming back to campus, but she would like for the women who are thinking about rushing AGD to know what happened. “If they get 30 new girls, they can do the same thing again,” she said. “The new girls need to know what hap pened before, but I know they are not telling the truth.” Langston said she does not recommend pledging AGD. “If these girls want to throw away thousands of dollars, they can give it to me and I’ll stab them in the back,” she said. Martin said the chapter was told that AGD could be coming back in the near future. “Well, the near future was very near,” she said. Barber said AGD will be a brand-new sorority, and 150 women have expressed interest so far. “On a campus of 43,000, the opportunity is abound for women to pursue a Greek in terest,” she said. “These women will have a positive ex perience.” Barber said AGD will have a well-balanced program. “We have the feeling that women students are Aggies first,” she said. “The traditions of AGD compliment the tradi tions at A&M, and in our plan ning and coordination, A&M is first.” Barber said the first group of women will end rush on Oct. 7, and officer positions will be open immediately. Center Continued from Page 1 officers and senior managers for the A&M System through expo- sure to significant academic and internship experiences, leader ship seminars and management trend analysis. The center will be located in the John B. Connally Building in College Station. A director for the center, who will report to Thompson, will be named in No vember. Three doctoral level courses will be offered on a rotating basis through the center, which will operate each academic year in September through May. Fifteen interns will be selected initially to receive training in personal evaluation, ethics, lead ership behaviors, public policy development, media issues and external publics, alumni relations and raising external financial support. The center director will create an advisory committee that will oversee activities and provide in put into the selection of interns. The board will also be responsi ble for the center eventually be coming self-supporting. Thompson will appoint a five to seven person advisory commit tee who will give him a list of candidates for a director, but Thompson will have final say in the decision. Thompson said he will be look ing for the most qualified candi date, whether they come from within the System or outside. Thompson said he wants to have a committee chosen by Oct. 30. A&M Regent Guadalupe Rangel said she is especially ex cited about the center because she is the only regent with an ed ucation background. “In as much as Texas lags be hind the nation in education, the center is a critical step in the right direction,” Rangel said. “We need many more leaders in education in the state.” Rangel said she hopes a well- trained multicultural corps of ed ucation leaders who will go out to regions of the state with training at the university level will come out of this center. “I hope it will strengthen the ties between lower level and higher education,” she said. “Those of us who have worked at several levels of education under stand there is a lack of under standing between lower level and higher education.” She said she agrees with everything Thompson has told her about the center. “I hope this will be one thing that will bring the A&M System to the forefront of the state in ed ucation,” Rangel said.

Jernigan Continued from Page 1 “It was hard for him to under stand what had happened from Friday to Thursday,” she said. “When we told him he had had a heart attack, he couldn’t believe it. His first question was “Did I finish the drill?’ He’s a typical Aggie bandsman.” Mrs. Jernigan said she thinks the prayers of citizens in Bryan- College Station and of many A&M students and former students have made a huge difference in Mr. Jemigan’s condition. “We started out with the prayers of 56,000,” she said. Dr. James Rohack, Jernigan’s cardiologist, said the former band member. Class of ’56, is still in sta ble condition and could be released from St. Joseph Hospital and Health Center within a week. “Through many prayers and medication and an excellent nurs ing staff, he has made many im provements,” Rohack said. Mrs. Jernigan said she and her husband were planning to retire in Bryan- College Station and now their plans may be moved up as Jemi- gan is unable to make the trip home to Champagne, Illinois. “There is a very good chance,” she said. “We always feel at home here.” Mrs. Jernigan and Kapavik both said they were surprised at Mr. Jernigan’s heart attack be cause he led such a healthy life. “He exercised regularly and eats properly, low fat and low cho lesterol,” Mrs. Jernigan said. Rohack said that a person can fall victim to heart disease even at a young age. “Family history often puts a person at risk, no matter what age a person is,” he said. “One thing we are recognizing more and more is that stress has an effect.” Mrs. Jernigan said her husband was lucky to be on Kyle Field when he had his attack because the people around him knew CPR. “I think he’s alive today because of where he was,” she said. Kapavik, Class of ’80, said the outpouring of support has been in credible. “We have had such a peace that came through prayer,” she said. “It’s amazing to think about all the people who have been so kind.” Margaret Rudder, wife of for mer A&M president Gen. James Earl Rudder, opened her home to Mrs. Jernigan and Kapavik so that they could have a place to stay while they wait for Mr. Jernigan to recover. “My football company had left town and my upstairs was empty,” Rudder said. “I kind of like to help out when I can.” Kapavik said she was surprised when Rudder showed up at the hospital the morning after her ther’s heart attack. “She showed up and handed a key to her house,” Kapaviisi Trey Gamble, treasurer of Aggie Band Association, association has set up £ collect contributions fortheJe:] gan family. “Money is actually being d( ed to the fund to help pay family’s expenses while they here,” Gamble said. “As offe there had been $600 donated would think that in the last days, there has been more c ed.” Mrs. Jernigan said the i gestures of kindness will never forgotten. “That Saturday, there groups of freshmen in the li praying for Jack,” she said. 1 just wanted us to know the names. Unfortunately, there so many people who we willn( know their names.” nemory ce Ists and s [ients to si Under h Susceptible ividual we iave been i |ested or ra list’s sugge ireate imag; Many ti red” mem icandal to [memory” jthe patien Objective e are creatir nave to be A possil fcionally irr [awsuits b: vhen you i Icovered mi [agree aboc To furtl nemory, tl snot relia IPennsylva lies of hypn ■court brief Raining ‘tn land recept land to the It seems Inosis and s I should not , or at lee ither resear I effects of it; I derstandin.
