► Letter regarding The Color of Fear
Dear Aggies,
Tonight in Rudder Theater at 6
p.m. MSC Programs will be show
ing the film, The Color of Fear. This
film is the real account of eight men
from various ethnic backgrounds
who are placed in a cabin together
for three days. These men examine
the effects that racism has had on
each of them as they listen to each
other’s experiences. This is a very
powerful, challenging film that has
been used by companies such as
AT&T, Levi’s and Hewlett Packard
to teach their employees.
You may be asking yourself,
“Why should I go to this film?’’The
simple answer is that everyone
should go to this film. There is
something that each of us can learn
from watching The Color of Feat: It
is especially relevant to Aggies in
the post-Hopwood environment
where the diversity of this great
university is in danger of declining.
We firmly believe that if Texas A&M
is to maintain its status as a world
class university we need to move to
ward a more diverse student body.
We urge you all to attend the pro
gram this evening. It promises to be
a special event on the Texas A&M
campus and a special event for those
who attend. We hope to see you there.

Jeremiah Williams, Student Gov
ernment vice president of student
relations and a senior agricultural
economics major, said student or
ganizations can sponsor one of the
72 trees on Main Drive for $100 and
will have their symbol on the tree.
“I really hope that as many stu
dent organizations as possible will
support the University and the stu
dents by contributing to the Winter
Spirit of Aggieland,” Williams said.
“We have had support from student
organizations and Aggie Mom’s
Clubs, but we hope for even more
student involvement.”
Williams, who co-authored the
Senate bill establishing the com
mittee, said the project is a way for
A&M to better interact with the
community.
“This is something we can share
with the Brazos Valley, and we can
show what A&M has to offer,” he
said. “The Winter Spirit of Aggieland
committee is a way that students
can give back to the community
and the people of the community.”
Robert Bisor, assistant vice pres
ident for administration, said the
project will help bring a sense of
community to the two cities.
“There really isn’t a center be
tween Bryan-College Station, so
A&M will be the focal point that ties
these two towns together,” she said.
“This will attract new donors and
more visitors to Bryan-College Sta
tion Holiday on the Brazos.”
Smith said Fred Brown, the top
donor and a Bryan-College Station
business owner, will turn on the
lights of the main tree at the light
ing ceremony Dec. 1.
Curtis Childers, student body
president, and a senior agricultural
development major, co-authored
the bill. He said Winter Spirit of Ag
gieland will bring warmth to stu
dents around winter break.
“We need to get Aggies involved
in winter spirit,” he said. “To many
it manifests itself as religious, but
this does not involve religious cere
mony or worship. The purpose is to
bring Aggies together.”
