Major Credit Cards Accepted Greeks Continued from Page 1 SCONA Continued from Page 1 Texas Hall of Fame will go to the Koldus Founda tion for Betterment of Student Life. Caroline Schlemmer, a junior finance major and Greek Week co-chair, said Greek Week is different this year because teams comprising one sorority and one or two fraternity members have been created, al lowing everybody in the Greek system to mingle. Points will be awarded to each team based on their attendance and participation in Greek Week activities. At the final event of the week, the Greek Games, the team with the most points will be named Greek Week champions and will receive a trophy. The Greek Games will begin Saturday at 12:30 p.m. and will include tug-of-war competitions and three-legged races. Schlemmer said the week’s activities will rein force A&M’s sense of tradition and spirit. “We want to make the Greeks a strong and inte grated tradition,” Schlemmer said. “I think a strong Greek system can only help A&M.” James Pinkerton, President Bush’s former domestic policy aide, expressed views some considered contradictory to traditional Republican thought at his Saturday luncheon address. Jennifer Powis, an A&M delegate and junior political science and biology major, said Pinkerton’s ideas demon strated a trend that is emerging in pol itics. “Obviously he is a Republican, but he’s not a true Republican,” Powis said. “He’s not a true Democrat either, and that’s what America is moving to ward.” Pinkerton said it is dangerous to pursue one’s own interests with no re gard to others. “There is no civil society in a world of no trust, in a world of no community —- no patriotism and no civil spirl world where there’s no sense el thing except what you can dofoi self, he said. Pinkerton emphasized the ties; change in this era of bureaucrat! cedures and principles that no jj meet the needs of Americans. Brady Bates, a senior politics! ence major, said Pinkerton’s idea, legitimate but not likely to bei;; mented. “I thought he made some points about the system,” Bates “But they have been trying to ct; the system for years and it hasn’t pened yet. It is easier to delay da than implement it.” Other conference highlights in; ed a Feb. 15 keynote addressb; Thomas Mann, director of the gets mental studies program atTheBi ings Institution.

Barbi Amberton, a class of ’84 wildlife and fisheries science graduate, spent two years in Guatemala educating people about conservation. Amberton said that although it was dif ficult to adapt to a completely different way of life, the Peace Corps training process, which is divided into language, culture and technical segments, prepared her for it. Amberton said her experience in Guatemala helped her form values that she strives to live by. “It showed me how important it is to keep life simple, and that we can all be happy without material things,” Amber ton said. “It was the most meaningful ex perience of my life.” The Peace Corps, founded in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy, currently has 6,500 volunteers. It has been growing steadily and is expected to have 7,000 vol unteers next year. Assignments are offered primarily in the environment, health, business and agriculture fields. More than 40 percent of Peace Corps volunteers teach in these fields. Recently, the focus of the Peace Corps has changed as older, more experienced volunteers have been recruited to help for eign countries with their developing economies. The average age of volunteers has risen from 22 to 29. The former Soviet Union has recently become a Peace Corps target area, volunteers have helped Russian entrer: neurs establish their own businesses a: improve the environment. Around the world, new Peace Corpsn tiatives include experimenting wit: “Crisis Corps” which will help those da astated by natural disasters and crises. The Peace Corps looks for voluntet who are highly skilled, adaptable andwl want to help others. More than 96 perct of volunteers have bachelor’s degrees.! plicants with language skills, especially French or Spanish, have a greater char, of being accepted. Because of the extensive applicati process, people should apply nine to months prior to the date they wanttobi gin Peace Corps training. The Peace Corps covers all expenses! foreign service, and upon completion their assignments, volunteers receivi $200 for each month of service. a[mwhat's up Monday Student Counseling Service - Ca reer Counseling and Testing Center: Testing for a personali ty types for careers and the workplace workshop that will be given on Wed., Feb. 21, will be given in the Student Coun seling Service office in Hen derson Hall.
