IFC, Panhellenics head to
Chicago for conference
BY RACHEL HOLLAND ence and Panhellenic president
The Battalion said the conference allows Greeks
Texas A&M Interfraternity
Council and Panhellenic leaders
will attend a conference for Greek
student leaders today through
Sunday in Chicago.
Meg Manning, Panhellenic ad
viser, said 35 A&M fraternity and
sorority leaders will join 1,600
other students at the Mid-Ameri
can Greek Council Association
Conference.
She said the conference is the
largest of its kind and puts into per
spective the interaction between
the fraternities and sororities.
She said the conference will
include keynote speakers and
workshops on Greek issues.
“There are a series of pathways
(in-depth workshops), which pro
vide a real, in-depth opportunity
for students to learn about a sub
ject,’’ Manning said. “An in-depth
subject might be risk manage
ment, conflict resolution or re
cruitment at large schools.”
“There’s also a breakout ses
sion where hot topics are dis
cussed, and substance-free hous
ing might be a hot topic.”
Suzanne Tate, the southern
area vice president of the confer-
to exchange ideas and resources.
“Last year, it taught me so
much about the Greek system,”
the junior political science major
said. “It is neat to interact with
Greeks from other schools to get
different viewpoints.”
Jeff Hilliard, IFC president and
a senior management information
systems major, said exchanging
ideas at the conference is impor
tant because Greek systems across
the nation operate differently. He
said the conference will give A&M
fraternities and sororities the op
portunity to explore different
methods and strategies.
Joe Theriot, IFC vice president
and a senior speech communica
tions major, said students will re
turn from the conference with im
portant information to share with
sorority and fraternity members.
“We are hoping to learn about
improving our numbers during
rush and also about risk manage
ment, keeping the Greek system
safe,” he said.
He said alcohol use and hazing
in the Greek system will be ad
dressed in the risk management
pathway.

Seven A&M students to attend dOthfi
for African-American fraternities,
BY AMANDA PALM
The Battalion
Seven Texas A&M students will
attend the 60th convention of the
National Pan-Hellenic Council
(NPHC) Feb. 18-21 in Atlanta, Ga.
The NPHC was formed in De
cember of 1930, in Washington
D.C. to coordinate historically
African-American fraternities and
sororities. The council consists of
six regions in the United States
and recently extended to include
international regions.
It includes nine black fraterni
ties and sororities that elect a pres
ident to represent them at the na
tional level.
Diedra Crawford. NPHC advis
er, said the main issue for the con
vention is making changes and
improvements to the NPHC con
stitution.
“The NPHC wants to [create] a
council of presidents at the na
tional level so that the nine na
tional presidents can oversee the
body as a whole.” Crawford said.
“This issue will be voted on over
the weekend."
Adrian Leday, a senior biology
major, is the seconds
of the NPHC, whidiisi

"This will be the
st ruction of the cons
years,” he said
“The NPHC want
body more efficients

.The Texas A&M Theater Program
will present The Skin of Our Teeth from
Feb. 18 to 20 at 8 p.m. at the George
Bush Presidential Conference Center.
The program is preparing for its perfor
mance in the 1998-99 Kennedy Cen
ter/American College Theater Regional
Festival at Texas Woman’s University.
Professor Roger Schultz, director of
the Skin of Our Teeth, said the play is set
simultaneously in the present, past and
tuture and contains characters who rep
resent the good and evil sides of human
nature.
Thornton Wilder wrote the play,
which depicts the Antrobus family, who
hves through the Ice Age, the flood de-
scnbed in the Bible and a war. The fami
ly survives the situations by the skin of its
teeth.
[Humans] have survived, and will
continue to survive by the skin of our
teeth ’ Schu , tz said
Schultz said the play has an opti
mistic tone and emphasizes the re
silience of human kind.
We tend to be most happy and most
successful when we are acting altruisti-
call y> Schultz said. “I think the play is
permeated with that optimism.”
Jimmy Humphries, artist in resi
dence and scene designer for The Skin
of Our Teeth, said the set, which is in
laid with puzzle pieces, was not de
signed to be beautiful, deep or realistic.
It was meant to portray a simple, car
toon-like quality resembling the surface
level of the play’s storyline.
“It’s a stylized show,” Humphries
said. “You can’t do it realistically.”
Nancy Castellanos, a Class of 1998
graduate, portrays the character Sabina
who serves as the Antrobus family
maid. Castellanos said the play uses
comedy to show the resilience of man.
“It’s really just a big caricature of
what humans are and what they
think,” Castellanos said.
Castellanos said the production mem
bers are not sure how the play will com
pete at the regional competition in Den
ton.
“It’s a really exciting kind of thing,”
Castellanos said. “You never know how
you’ll do until you’re out on the stage.
We are expecting to do as well as we
can possibly do.”
Tickets for the show at the Bush
Complex are $8 for the general public
and $5 for students and may be pur
chased at the MSC Box Office or upon
entrance to the event.
