Leaders emphasize action over discussion
□ NAACP's recent fliers,
an item for discussion at
Thursday's roundtable,
evoked misconceptions
on campus.
By Heather Pace
The Battalion
At last night’s Student Gov
ernment Roundtable Discussion,
student leaders emphasized act
ing on ideas, not just talking
about them.
The roundtable, held every
last Thursday of the month,
seeks to promote campus unity
by bringing together diverse or
ganizations in a discussion of
current campus issues.
Alan Watson, Conservative
Coalition president and a junior fi
nance major, brought up the issue
of the NAACFs recent fliers, which
evoked racist misconceptions.
The fliers announced Thurs
day night’s discussion of campus
racism. One flier depicted a
black man playing drums and
read, “Do Sambo and Aunt Jemi
ma got you job? Reality or falla
cy, come find out.”
The other flier depicted a
businessman and read, “White
American pimps and their mil
lion dollar hos.”
Watson said although he was
not offended by the fliers, he be
lieves there is a double standard.
When the College Republicans
put up similar fliers last year, he
said, they were quickly chastised.
“I couldn’t care less if they
put those fliers up,” Watson
said, “but what bothers me is
that if the Conservative Coali-
they were written to promote
questioning.
“The question is if the fliers
are perceived as facts,” he said.
“If they are just questions, I see
nothing wrong with these.”
Toby Boenig, student body
president and a senior agricul
tural development major, said
although he did not personally
support the fliers, the NAACP
has a right to free speech.
“I don’t think people should
go around being sensitive to
everything they see, but I do
think we should be aware,”
Boenig said. “Personally, I have
a problem with them, but it is an
issue of free speech.”
Another topic of discussion
during the roundtable was the
multicultural course require
ment, which is being addressed
by David Brown, College Re
publicans president and a ju
nior political science major, and
Shawn
Williams,
NAACP
president
and a senior
management
major.
They are
currently
chairing a committee to explore
racism on campus and to find a
more mainstream way of re
viewing the curriculum.
“We want to change the core
curriculum of existing classes to
address issues that have been
left out,” Brown said.
It was important not only to
talk about multiculturalism is
sues, Brown said, but to do
something about them and im
prove relations.
Improving relations between
the Corps and the Residence Hall
Association was another item for
discussion at the roundtable.
The Student Senate and the
RHA have considered resolutions
to change the funding of two
Corps programs. Currently, the
programs are funded through on-
campus students’ fees.
Wendy Lyons, RHA represen
tative and a graduate student
pursuing a teaching certificate,
brought up the RHA’s proposal
at the Student Senate meeting
Wednesday night.
Lyons said the Senate and the
RHA brought the bill forward
because continually talking
about it was not going to accom
plish anything.
“It’s nice to say it isn’t fair,’
she said, “but you have to do
something about it.”
It was perceived by some that
the RHA wanted a vote on their
proposal Wednesday nigh, Lyons
said. In actuality, they only want
ed to get the senators thinking
about the proposal, she said.
“Our intent was to bring it,
show it and put it to committee,’
she said. “We didn’t want to bog
down the meeting.”

Study suggests shift work bad for women’s hearts
□ The study was published in the
American Heart Associations
journal Circulation.
DALLAS (AP) — Working rotating shifts
may be hazardous to women’s hearts, a
study suggests.
The study, in Friday’s issue of the Ameri
can Heart Association journal Circulation,
says women nurses who worked irregular
shifts for more than six years were up to 70
percent more likely than co-workers to suf
fer a heart attack.
The study was done by a team at the Har
vard Medical School and written by Dr. Ichiro
Kawachi, an assistant professor of medicine.
“Shift work is a type of stress,” he said.
“If you disrupt the body’s daily biological
clock, the body responds by pouring out
stress-related hormones ... and these things
generally do bad things for the body.”
Kawachi said “rotating night shifts also
are associated with reduced job-related
performance and higher levels of per
ceived stress.”
The study focused on nursing because it
is one of the few professions in which a
large number of women work night shifts.
Of the 79,000 nurses who responded,
about 59 percent had done shift work and
41 percent had not.
From 1988 to 1992, 292 of the respondents
had heart attacks, 44 of which were fatal.
The overall risk of a heart attack was
low for the entire group; for that reason,
the 70 percent figure was considered a
moderately higher risk.
Parking

is that there is still lots of parking space be
hind the sports center,” Cochran said. “They
expect that area to see the overflow.”
The board consists of eight students and
three representatives from different FITS areas.
The students represent groups ranging
from the Corps of Cadets to Student Govern
ment, Cochran said, in an effort to recognize
the opinions of all aspects of the University.
Reactions from students throughout cam
pus are mixed.
Ozzie Pugliese, a freshman computer engi
neering major who frequently parks in the two
lots, said the changes are going to worsen an
already bad situation.
“It doesn’t sound like a veiy smart thing to
do,” Pugliese said. “I already have to follow
people around with my car to get a space.
“It’s going to be really hard to get a space
during the middle of the day. I’ll probably be
riding a bike.”
Many students are concerned about the effects
the parking lot change will have on them and
question where they will now have to park.
Cole Stanley, a senior recreation, parks and
tourism sciences major, said the A&M parking
situation does not need this extra burden.
“It’s ridiculous,” Stanley said. “We need all
the parking we can get.
“I feel like I’ve already paid for half of the
new parking garage [Koldus Building] from
my parking tickets alone.”
Some students realize the renovations will
cause problems in parking for a short time, but
fedl the changes to Kyle Field are worth it.
Gabe Aguirre, a sophomore political sci
ence major, said although the parking
changes will be inconvenient, they will bene
fit a good cause.
“I think in the long run, the renovations
on Kyle Field will outweigh any parking in
conveniences we will experience temporari
ly,” Aguirre said. “It’s not like we. haveanj
place to park now, so what’s two more lots?”
In addition to the temporary lot that will
be established on West Campus, PTTS offi
cials suggested parking in area 63 (Olsen
Field), 103 (between Olsen Field and the
Rec. Sports Complex) and 95 (Wellborn Road
across from Kyle Field).

from a distance, and I hope things will be
different.”
Ferleshare Starks, A&M NAACP vice
president and a zoology student, said from her
perspective there is prevalent racism minori
ties face when participating in traditions.
T participate in many traditions, even
though I don’t always feel comfortable do
ing it,” she said. “I do it because I am an
Aggie, and it is my right as an Aggie to go
out and take part in these traditions, but I
have sympathy for those minorities who
don’t because it takes a special kind of per
son to put themselves in that kind of
situation.”
As a way of solving these problems of
racism on campus and in the media, Dr.
Marco Portales, NAACP adviser, offered a
solution of mutual awareness in a reading
of his essay Curing Racism, You and I.
In the essay, Portales pointed out that
racial pride is often mistaken for racial
hubris. Racism is the most widespread dis
ease in the nation, he said, and takes place
anywhere, all the time.
The only cure, Portales said, is for peo
ple to force themselves to believe that peo
ple can become better. He stressed that
people should not let the past shape their
presents or their futures because to do so
would “perpetuate racism’s historical
animosity.”
“We are the only ones that can change,”
Portales said. “We don’t have to be color
blind because color differences are obvious.
“What we need to do is take the time to
learn about each other and see those differ
ences in a positive light.”

cultures requirement.
The University only requires
six hours in humanities and six
hours in social sciences to serve
as cultures courses.
But the committee’s actions
did not sit well with some re
gents. Board Chairman Mary
Nan West supported the notion
of letting the faculty control a
school’s core curriculum.
When Rangel asked Cantrell to
speak, regent Robert Allen of Hous
ton protested, saying the Board
should trust the school presidents.
“It seems to me that this com
mittee and the entire Board
ought to speak our minds
through the chancellor and,
therefore, through the CEOs of
the institutions,” Allen said. “I
think it’s absolutely improper for
this Board to pass over any of
those (CEOs). ... Why are we
calling on the faculty?”
Rangel, however, said it was
the Board’s responsibility to look
into anything that is of interest
to System students.
“It is, by state statute, our
responsibility to look into all
matters,” Rangel said, “particu
larly those that have been prob
lematic at any campus, or those
that are of great interest to
every campus.”
