Commanders
Continued from Page 1
Foster said he was honored to be Corps commander. He
said he plans to go to law school in Austin after he graduates.
Current Deputy Commander Cindi Ericson, a senior in
ternational studies major, said she is proud of the cadets that
applied for the positions.
“I am very confident that they will pick up where we have
left off,” Ericson said, “and cany it one, two, three, who knows
how many steps further.”
Ericson commented about the experience and goals of the
Corps members.
“Every freshman comes in the Corps with the idea in the
back of his or her mind that one day he or she may be that
Corps commander,” Ericson said.
Ericson said she plans to graduate in May and begin four
years of active duty in the U.S. Army in air defense artillery
at Fort Bliss, El Paso.
Five other leader positions filled were:
• Wing Commander—Randall L. Schmedthorst
• Regimental Commander—Jeffrey J. Broaddus
• Combined Band Commander—Clayton J. Kennedy
• 1st Brigade—David Shwiff
• 2nd Brigade—John W. Lower

Chapel

“We have small group Bible studies in the Meditation Room
of All Faiths,” Yates said.
The chapel, originally caUed the Interfaith Chapel, was de
signed by architect Richard Vrooman, Class of ’52, and complet
ed in 1957 with funds raised by the Association of Former Stu
dents. It is maintained with funds provided by the University and
regular donations from A&M Mothers Clubs, Wright said.
All Faiths Chapel is open for worship 24 hours a day except
during the Christmas holidays. It has a sanctuary, meditation
room, library and reading room.
The program for the May 10,1958, dedication ceremony de
scribed the chapel’s physical appearance.
“ [All Faiths Chapel is] more like a shelter in a garden than an
enclosed building, fitting among the existing trees and being vi
sually open to the interior court or garden,” the program said.
“The friendship aspect toward
brothers won’t change,” he said.
The national fraternity has yet to make
a decision on the incident, Bethel said.
“They’ve (the national organization)
been supportive,” he said. “They’re trying
to do what’s best for the national fraterni
ty and our chapter as well.”
After the fraternity receives a formal
letter of sanction from the IFC board’s
chief justice, they can file for an appeal-in-
writing. If the appeal is processed within
five days, the suspension will be in
abeyance until the out
come of the appeal.
Two separate charges
were brought against the
fraternity, violations of the
IFC alcohol and recruit
ment policies.
During the investigation
conducted by the Universi
ty, it was learned that a keg
of beer was in the fraterni
ty house at the same time
that the hazing incident oc
curred. Under the IFC alco-

won't change.”
“It is an organizational hearing that has
no bearing on that particular instance,
Price said.
Walker’s death prompted the Brazos
County Sheriff’s Department toconduci
an investigation, since the departmentis
required by state statute to investigateanv
unattended death.
Chris Kirk, Brazos County sheriff, said
the suspicious circumstances surround
ing Walker s death were the groundsofthf
investigation.
“The investigation is rooted to the un
explained and unattended death oflrey
Walker,” Kirk said.
The district and county prosecutingai-
torneys now will decide if a criminal of
fense was committed,
based on the completed
investigations by the
grand jury and Sheriff's
Department.

The fraternity violated the IFC recruit
ment policy by extending bids to students
not enrolled at A&M.
On the same day of the hazing inci
dent, William Walker III, a Phi Gamma
Delta fraternity pledge, died at Columbia
Medical Center in College Station after
suffering an acute asthma attack.
Jon Price, A&M Interfraternity Council
adviser, said even though it is important to
consider the tragedy and how the fraterni
ty brothers are saddened by his loss, the
hearing and Walker’s death do not coincide.

the elements for a crimi
nal offense,” Kirk said.
Kirk said if a criminal
offense was committed
the prosecuting attorneys
will need to determine if it will be classi
fied as a felony or misdemeanor offense.
“But there is also the potential thatthe
decision will be made that there isn't a
criminal offense,’’Kirk said.
Lanita Hanson, coordinator of Greek
Affairs and assistant director of student
activities, said if there are similar hazing
activities taking place in other fraternities,
they need to be stopped.
“I think it continues to be an issued
education and commitment on the part
of the members to enforce their on
rules and stand up for what’s right,” Han
son said.
