Mexican American students
honored the the souls of the dead
as part of the Dia de los Muertos
(Day of the Dead) celebration on
Wednesday.
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.

[Here, last month, 922 good people
got a pin prick, and earned
themselves $46,000 cash
....and helped people they never knew!
They sat back on big leather lounge chairs and
relaxed or studied for exams. They exchanged
recipes, talked about love, children, life,
happenings, boys, girls, politics, tomorrow, french
class, car repair, baseball, fishing,
and delivering kittens. In 60 minutes they were up
and away, cash in hand, feeling good.
You have never opened a door on a
friendlier place and the regular
extra money is very nice.
Everybody needs you.
