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.”

work and earning money.”
Volunteers said the life-changing sto
ries they return with more than compen
sate for difficult challenges and living con
ditions they face during their terms of ser
vice.
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!
