Kousta Foteh, a member of Orthodox Christian Fellowship and a sophomore biology major, shared a similar opinion, saying the event was unorganized. “We want to reach out to our clientele and a lot of times we Memorial Continued from Page 1 “We cannot hallow this ground,” he said, “because the brave men who struggled here have already consecrated it.” The memorial is rather for us to rededicate ourselves to the pur suance of the dreams these have died for, he said, “to rededicate ourselves to the future.” “We have a duty and an obliga tion to speak out,” he said. Scissors were distributed to the families of those being hon ored and the gathering moved outside to the memorial for the dedication. A maroon cloth shielded the plaque from the heat and red rib bon surrounded each of the 11 crepe myrtle trees. As the cloth was removed and the ribbon cut, the silent group of friends and family reflected on the battle almost 30 years ago that made the memorial necessary. Karoni Forrester, a Class of ’96 political science graduate, attend- Alvis Continued from Page 1 other students in their lab or small groups of friends,” Alvis said. “I want to break the isolation.” This isolation, he said, hurts the GSC. Besides getting more graduate students involved, Alvis has other goals for the year. Alvis said meetings with Student Body President Carl can’t because of the crowds and the way things are set up,” Foteh said. “I wish it was more spread out and easier to walk through.” Others overcame the mobs and enjoyed what the day had to offer. Hutch Buder, a member of the A&M Bicycling Club and a junior construction science major, said Open House gives smaller organi zations a chance to be recognized. “Open House is extremely beneficial,” he said. “It gives us a lot of exposure we normally wouldn’t have.” The event was open to all rec ognized student organizations, ed with her family to honor her father, Capt. Ronald Forrester, who is missing in action. “Dad loved A&M,” she said. “This would make him smile.” The new memorial is not the first of its kind. The Class of ’62 honored six of its members with engraved bricks in front of the Corps Center. Col. Buck Henderson, Class of ’62, said the memorials may encourage other classes who have not honored their lost to organize a memorial of their own. Honored at Saturday’s memo rial were Lt. James H. Cartwright of Decatur, Texas; Sgt. Jeffery E. Cowley of Freer; Capt. Ronald W. Forrester (MIA) of Odessa; Capt. William Ty Halloran of BrownsvillejLt. Robert H. Johnson of Paris; Spec. 4 Sanderfierd A. “Sandy” Jones, of Hutchins; PFC Bill Kildare of Ogallala, Neb.; Capt. Walter S. “Steve” Mullen, of Brownsville; Lt. Henry J. Rockstroh Jr. of San Antonio; Lt. Robert H. Tillman of Grosse He, Mich.; and Lt. David E. Yates of Chesapeake, Va. Baggett help bridge the gap between Student Government and the GSC. “Carl has been real good,” Alvis said. “He’s trying hard to bring us into the program.” The establishment of an on- campus child-care center for the faculty, students and staff is a common issue that Alvis hopes will link the two organizations. “I’m ready to go,” Alvis said about his job. “I think we’re going to have a good year.” creating much diversity. Each table had a different gimmick, almost as if it were a competition to entice students. The Chemistry Club displayed a science experiment, while MSC Town Hall blared Hootie and the Blowfish tunes. Kelly Blue, a sophomore psy chology major, said she was impressed with the original and bold efforts made by clubs to grab her attention. “People were prepared,” she said. “They had visuals and were willing to talk to you. Today has been very helpful.” Date rape Continued from Page 1 The drug has only recently become popular with college stu dents, and Kretzschmar said he is surprised at how many incoming freshmen were aware of it at this summer’s Fish Camp. Two years ago, Kretzschmar said, only a handful of students knew about the drug when asked about it during a Fish Camp program titled, “Sex, Drugs, and Rock-n-Roll.” Kretzschmar said that at Fish Camp sessions this summer, about 400 students indicated they were familiar with the drug. Douglas Continued from Page 1 public universities. “Funding for higher education is more difficult, so we’re shifting more of the burden on to the stu dent,” he said. "That concerns me, but there’s not- much we can do about it.” Douglas fears it will be hard to attract talented faculty if salaries are not increased. The diversity of the student population at A&M, Douglas said, also could be limited, especially by the Hopwood decision. “A&M has made great strides in having its student body reflect the population of the state,” he said. “It (Hopwood) could make it difficult to continue making progress.” The worst part of his job, Douglas said, is having to make dif ficult choices and having to say Participants talked to dreds of students, but noli one expected every stude become active. Senior floricultural major Smith, a member of the St American Institute of Design, said his organizatioi likely will receive a low it new members, but he regrets in recruiting even th« "I’ve gotten a lot of pt feedback,” he said, “andifl cent of the people we’ve fliers to actually show up meetings, I’ve done nr today,” he said. rlume 103 • This is an indication toh word is getting out and are becoming more educan Women can avoid vie tion by knowing who th going out with, never k drinks unattended and conscious, he said. “Trust your instincts,; say,” Kretzschmar said.
