Continued from Page 1 Letter: University officials dispute CR assertion The University and the Department of Student Activities strongly support the College Republi- ' right to say whatever they think" - Christie Moore Department of Student Activities adviser Wh iValk< fter choo e coi He “I c vm. ny h much there is no problem with it,” Bowen said. Christie Moore, an adviser for the Department of Student Ac tivities, the A&M department bringing the original charges against College Republicans, said the group has once again ig nored the facts. The letter said the board is composed of two students and three employees of the Depart ment of Student Activities. “In the [newest] letter it mentions that three of the five hearing board members are em ployed by the Department of Student Activities, and that’s cans' not true,” Moore said. The three professional staff members on the board are em ployees of the Division of Stu dent Affairs, she said, and have nothing to do with Stu dent Activities. Moore also disputed the newest letter’s claim that she told the Austin-American Statesman she believes College Republicans to be guilty. The Statesman quoted her as saying College Republicans “broke a rule,” she said, and her original comment to the States man was that the University did not have any evidence to show that College Republicans had fol lowed procedure. Moore said the charges against College Republicans are not about the First Amendm: but about the way the organs tion broke University policy misrepresented facts. “This is not about freedom speech," she said. “The sity and the Department of Si dent Activities strongly suppts the College Republicans ! to say whatever they think. “The factual information the [original] letter and the formation that was present*! as fact will be the only thinp that will be questioned in bearing.” Moore could not say if furtk charges would be brought College Republicans relating; the most recent mailing.

Navaratri, translated “nine nights,” is celebrated with nightly dance and prayers. Ruturaaj Kalamkar with the Hin du Students Council public relations explained that Hindus worship the goddess of wealth and prosperity, Laxmi, during the first three nights. The next three nights are dedi cated to the goddess of knowledge, Saraswati, and the last three nights, Hindus worship Durga, the goddess of power, strength, vitality and dynamism. Anand said Hindus in India cele brate these holidays by waking up early in the morning, taking a hot oil bath, lighting fireworks, exchanging presents and enjoying a huge meal. “You can say it’s like Christmas in October,” he said. Indian merchants also use these holidays to mark the beginning of the new financial year, Anand said. Diwali, the Festival of Lights, signifies the victory of good forces over evil as described in the Hindu holy scriptures. The Festival of Lights is celebrat ed with rows of earthen lamps lit in every home, store and temple on that day, Kalamkar said. The origin of this holiday comes from two incidents. Some Hindus celebrate the return of Sri Rama from his exile and victory in battle over Raavana. Others celebrate Sri Krishna’s victory over the tyrant king Naj-akaasura. Admission to Dandiya Nite is free to members of Hindu Students Council and the India Association; $2 for students; $4 for adults; and $10 for families of up to four. Proceeds from Dandiya Nite will help fund the construction of a new temple in College Station.

The college currently includes the Departments of Econoi English, History, Journalism, Modem and Classical Language Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Anthropok Speech Communication and Theater Arts. While the college’s reputation is growing, some pi sors said the college will not be able to maintain its quality if funding does not continue. Betty Unterberger, a history professor, said the historyit partment needs continued funding to replace faculty who have departed. “While the faculty has grown in stature and ability, the»' serious limiting factor is that we can’t get additional we are missing in vital areas,” Unterberger said. Because the liberal arts provide the foundation disciplines, it is crucial to provide continued supportfe the college, she said. “The heart and soul of any university is its college of life arts; the university hasn’t had the vision here to recognize Unterberger said.
