BY ANDREA BROCKMAN
The Battalion
Minority Enrichment and De
velopment Through Academic
and Leadership Skills (MEDALS),
a Texas A&M conference that en
courages minority high school
students to pursue further educa
tion, is in need of an executive
staff.
Katiuska Quintero, executive
director for MEDALS and a senior
bilingual education major, said
the conference targets inner-city
and rural-area minority students
throughout Texas, but it is also
open to non-minority students.
“These students don't know
what’s out there,” she said. “The
conference shows them how to
apply for college, scholarships
and financial aid."
Quintero said the conference
goal is not to recruit Aggies,
“We are just trying to help
them find education opportunities
beyond high school, whether it be
college, technical school or the
military,” she said.
However, she said a large num
ber of students from the confer
ence do attend A&M because they
like the campus and the people.
Quintero said students who at
tend the conference do not have
to be minorities, and it is open to
anyone who wants to register.
“We keep prices at a mini
mum,” she said. “These people
travel a long way."

would quickly become major issues. ”
He said rape dates back to the
English Common Law system in
which men would rape the women
they wanted to marry in a process
called bride capture.
“These are civilized people who
have shaped the way we perceive
women,” he said. “Our society in
some ways still looks at women as
property, and this attitude has got
to change.”
The speech was followed by a
march around campus as a sym
bolic way to rescue the campus
from sexual crimes against women.
This year’s event was sponsored
by Peer 1 Educators, Aggies Work
ing For a Rape-free Environment
and Student Life Gender Issues Ed
ucation Services.
Nancy TUbbs, a graduate assis
tant for Student Life Gender Issues
Education Services, said the march
is a traditional project of the A&M
chapter of the National Organiza
tion for Women (NOW).
TUbbs said members of NOW
have annually “taken back the
night” since the 1960s as a symbol
of freedom for women.
She said the march traditionally
includes women only, but it incor
porated men this year to show their
support for the fight against sexual
violence.
TUbbs said . “Take Back the
Night” is a statement of the com
munity no longer accepting violent
sexual crimes.
