The Committee for Awareness of Mexican American Culture (CAMAC), sponsored a Dia de los Muertos program to discuss the Mexican holiday. The program included a speech concerning the celebration’s sig nificance, slides commemorating the day, and concluded with a small reception of cultural food and punch. The meeting attracted over 200 visitors. David Hamada, a member of CAMAC, explained the signifi cance of Dia de los Muertos. “The Mexican perception of death is different from what we’re used to,” Hamada said. “The day is a union of the fiesta and death, honoring the souls of the departed with a celebration.” Dia de los Muertos is celebrat ed on Nov. 2 and is a national hol iday in Mexico, Hamada said. The holiday is a cross between Catholic’s All Saint’s Day and Aztec rituals, he said. “This day gives us an opportu nity to mock something that is usually dread- Hamada ed,” said. The holiday provides an op portunity for people to avoid taking life too seriously and avoid taking death too harshly. Dur ing this celebration, people may bring flowers, food and candles to cemeteries for a picnic, present of ferings to the dead and eat food honoring the holiday, such as dead bread. "This day gives us an opportunity to mock something that is usually dreaded." — David Hamada, CAMAC member CAMAC offered dead bread at the program, which is bread baked into the shape of humans, Hamada said. Christine Vasquez, chair of CAMAC, said CAMAC the Dia de los Muertos is only one of the many programs the organization has planned for the upcoming year. On Nov. 30, CA MAC will hold Las Posadas, Vasquez said. Las Posadas is a reenactment of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethle hem, she said. “It will begin at All F'aiths Chapel and end at the Grove, provided it doesn’t rain,” Vasquez said. CAMAC will also have Fall and Spring cookouts and a confer ence in the Spring, she said. The conference, which is ex pected to attract at least 400 pe: pie, will focus on issues oft! Latino community, Vasquez said Vasquez said CAMAC’s then for this year is “Unidos Trui Foremos: Makit; Tomorrow Today” or “United l Will Triumph.” Anthony Martinez, vice-chat for CAMAC, said this theme I cuses on the various issues Latino community faces. Corrections An incorrec t date for the Texas A&M Muslim Students' Association’s panel discussion appeared in Wednesday's Battalion. The discussion on American Muslim experiences will be held Friday in MSC 201 from 7 to 10 p.m. In Tuesday's Aggielife section the Koran was misquoted. The quote should have said )esus was the sonof Mary. Flags Continued from Page 1 students could be charged with a class three felony, which carries two to 10 years imprisonment and up to $10,000 in fines. The flags, valued at $3,500, represent old companies and organizations from the Corps of Cadets. Dr. J. Malon Southerland, vice president for student af fairs, said the University of Texas’ University Relations wants to try to keep the pun ishment within the University. “It is our preference that the University take care of their sanctions,” Southerland said. The students told the Univer sity of Texas’ newspaper, The Daily Texan, that they took the flags from the MSC without be ing noticed around 12 a.m. Sun day. When they returned to Austin, they gave one of the flags to The Daily Texan and another to an Austin television station, KXAN. Wiatt said the University Po- dents stole the flags to get atten tion from the media. “They may have gotten some of the media attention they want ed,” he said, “but I don’t think that’s worth the criminal charges "What do you expect from a t.u. student?" —Matt Segrest commander of the Corps of Cadets lice Department was unaware of the theft when media began call ing them Sunday night. The calls prompted them to check the MSC Flag Room, he said, and they found the flags had been stolen. The University of Texas Po lice Department received a tip about the identities of the stu dents and found the flags at one of the student’s off campus resi dence on Wednesday. Wiatt said he thinks the stu- they could face.” One member of the group, who calls himself “Calvin,” said the group did not mean for the inci dent to get out of hand. “The whole point is that it was a prank,” he said. “We never in tended to be malicious.” Southerland said he does not consider theft to be a prank. “What starts out to be a prank and ends up bringing criminal charges is not a prank anymore,” he said. “It serves no useful pur pose to have these kinds of inter actions between our universities,' Southerland said he is pleased that A&M students did not retali ate when Reveille was kidnapped or this incident. Matt Segrest, commander of the Corps of Cadets, said these pranks are childish games. “What do you expect from a t.u. student?” he said. Grant Smith, commander of Company E-2, the outfit responsi ble for guarding Reveille, said he does not think very highly of‘The Rustlers.” “Obviously that group of stu dents does not hold itself to the high standards that we have here at A&M,” he said. Wiatt said the flags will be re turned by a University of Texas police officer today. Southerland said that the Uni versity of Texas Police Depart ment reported that none of the flags have been damaged.
