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

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.”
