Deaton surprised in Mexico
By Christy Awad
The Rambler
A hotel on the beach, a hot date,
warm sunshine and ... your former
physics professor?
What's wrong with this picture?
Nothing, ii you're Juan Pablo Nunye/
The Wesley an''engineering major
was probably just as shocked as Bobby.
Deaton, physics/geology professor,
when they ran -inIo each other in
I'rug re so. Mexico, over the holidays.
Nunve/ transferred-to Embry-Riddlp
Aeronautical University in Florida.
Deaton planned to call Nunve/
during his two-week stay in Cancun
while he pursued his interest in the
Mavan culture. "I travel a lot in
Mexico, so he told me to contact him,"
said.Deaton.
I itlle ilid Deaton know thai he
would end up spending some time in
I'KH'ieso on the very same beach
where Nunve/ and his dale were va-
Nuiiye/., who .is from Merida,
Mexico, compleleda year of Intensive
English at Wesleyan 'and took, some
regular courses in the fall of 1993. He
plans to be an aeronautical engineer.
"He's a good student." said
Deaton,
Apparently, Nunyez considers
Deaton a good professor as well. Not
only was he delighted to see htm, but
he also invited Deaton to spend a day
with his family in Merida.
Deaton discovered that although
Nunye/ might have transferred to
Ehibry-Riddle University, his affection
for Wesleyan lives on. The family .
owns two Dodge trucks displaying
Texas Wesleyan University bumper
stickers. .
Nunye/' brother Victor, who stud-
ies pre-med in Mexico, migh' attend
Wesleyan in the future,
Deaton said many of the students
and faculty here know Nunye/. "He
wanted to tell all his Iriends 'hello.'
He misses Texas Wesleyan," said
Deaton.
Those wishing to contact Nunye/
mav obtain his address from Deaton.
Writers compete for cash

They're out there- hundreds of
them at Wesleyan alone: men and
women who on the outside appear to
be just like everyone else. But once
s a I e I v locked in their bedrooms, dens
and dorm rooms, a transformation be-
u ins.
11 is- there, unk nown to friends
and family, that they take on the role
of writer.
Willi intense emotion and meticu-
lous devotion, these men and women
slave until, complete satisfaction is
achieved. Then they bury tlieir poetry.
■■Bricks, from pg 3™
"It gives people a chance to leave
their name — their mark •—in his-
tory. to give something back to the
university," said MacMillan. "It's to
recognize ihem, to encourage folks to
maybe give a little bit more. It sets a
level for people to strive for."
Sally Johnson; assistant director
of annual giving, is formally in charge
of the brick program. Johnson called
it "a link to the past."
Both she and MacMillan men-
tioned the alumni who come to find
their.own bricks and end up brows-
inn through the others.

[MEXICAN RESTAUR ANTS I
SGA improving Wesleyan
By Chris MasingiM
Special ;o The Rambler
Many students at Texas
Wesley an are not even aware that ihey
have an organisation that is for them.
That organization is the Student Gov-
ernment Association. Our job i> to
Dr. Bobby Deaton (center) with Victor Nunyez (left)
and Juan Pablo Nunyez (right) in Progreso, Mexico
of ihe students to the Administration
then communicate their response
back In an effort to do just that there
are plans and events that are being
discussed which has a direct interest
lor the student body which we feel
you should be informed about.
Through the efforts of SGA and
the corporation of the Dean of Stu-
dents Office we are in the process of
purchasing a new big screen TV for
the student lounge. The TV should be
in place within the next two weeks.
We fell thai this is something that
every student could enjoy.
Secondly, SGA, myself, and Dr.
Allen Henderson dean of the school
education, are in the developing
stages of a project called Wesleyan
Leadership Seminar.
This seminar, to be implemented
in the fall if all goes accordingly, will
provide every student, particularly
freshmen and sophomores, an oppor-
tunity to take advantage of some lead-
ership training:
It will expose students to basic
skills that all leaders need todevelop:
effective communication, conflict
resolution, running a effective meet-
ing and agenda writing.
One of ihe unique things about
the seminar is that it will be taught
by fellow students who-have been
through a training retreat and the
Leadership Wesleyan class, plus lead-
ership experience in Campus organi-
zation.
The second thing thai makes the
seminar interesting is thai at the end
of sessions two monetary scholarships
will be available, ranging from $150
to $200.
A planning committee has been
established.to work out the structure,,
implementation, and recruitment for
this project. Members of the commit-
tee are Casey Neece, Kristi Willi,
Nichole Bel ford, Scott Abel, Jonathan
Ramsey and Chris Masingil 1.
Also the subject of an honor code
