If an individual is responsible for hazing, the de partment of Student Life’s Stu dent Judicial Services will handle the case. Price said the suspension pro hibits the fraternity from being recognized by the University, us ing A&M facilities for events or at taching the University name to their fraternity. Two hazing incidents have oc curred at A&M during the 1996-97 school year. In November, Kappa Alpha fra ternity was disbanded until 1999, after a pledge suffered bodily injury at a Kappa Alpha rally on Oct. 14, 1996, in Robertson County. On Dec. 13,1996, Corps of Cadets Company B-2 violated hazing and drinking policies at an off-campus party where alcohol was served to minors and a senior allegedly struck a freshman. The company was sub sequently disbanded. Jason Jordan, former Interfrater- nity Council president andaseti marketing major, said he thiii everyone agrees that hazingisdu aging and people need to adn there is a hazing problem so it be solved. "Now, it’s a matter of'let's making headlines and start solutions’,"Jordan said. Jordan said members zations will see their friends gett caught and punished for hazi but might continue to breakm themselves.

Rhodes said although businesses incorporate tural ploys to help African-Americans get startediii work force, more advancement is needed. “Most businesses try to have a diverse tation, or are forced through government to diverse representation so the need is there foi but it’s still hard for us to get our foot in the Rhodes said. Moreland said Black History Month organiza welcome everybody and do not cater to Afria Americans only.
