39-year-old Texas student
enjoys fraternity lifestyle
By John Austin
■ The Shorthorn
U. of Texas, Austin
James Williams fits in at the U. of
Texas, Arlington, Sigma Phi Epsilon
house. He likes to chew tobacco, remi
nisce about favorite parties and kibitz
with hi.s buddies
But Williams is about 20 years older
than most of his brothers. You might call
him the Ancient Greek
1 le trades time with his wife and three
children for afternoons of baseball talk
around the fraternity house. "It's just
something I always wanted to do and
didn’t have a chance to,” the 39-year-old
says.
Two years ago, tired of the fluctuating
construction business and seeking secu
rity for his family, Williams made the
move to UTA
"1 was scared to death to come back to
school," he remembers.
Although he saw plenty of peers on cam
pus. Williams wanted to get acquainted
with some younger students because
"teaching and coaching were what I
always wanted to do." Williams went
through rush and pledging to ensure he
would lx> able to relate to students.
Williams admits he suffered some mis
givings about throwing himself at the
mercy of the Sig Ep brothers. "I figured
when I went in I’d have to listen to a lot
of Beastie Boys and Twisted Sister
Being the oldest active Greek on cam
pus means Williams has to party with
men half his age, but it's a challenge he
says he's up to. Although Williams is
usually under control, "he has been
known to party,” says fraternity brother
Mike Warren
"He kind ofsits back and laughs at oth
ers,” Sig Ep Dennis Crosby says
Williams plans to graduate with a teach
ing certificate and P.E. degree this
spring.
Despite his double-decade academic
layoff, he made the dean's list twice and
has maintained a 3.0 GPA. Williams
gives his fraternity brothers at least par
tial credit for his academic success. “V m
can usually find somebody with some
brains to help,” he says.
Despite his fraternity ties, Williams
has one campus companion even closer
than his brothers — his 19-year-old
daughter Tracy is also a UTA student.
Charlotte Williams says she would
allow her daughter to date Sig Ep fra
ternity brothers, but isn’t sure what her
husband would think. After all, "He
knows them better than 1 do,” she says

“I got the chance to see the whole pic

Just as the injustices of the Chinese
system have shaped his own life, so have
they shaped the history of China ovo:
the past century, Li contends.
“This has been a long, long struggle:
human rights, for democracy, for a fan ■ ’
system,’’ he said.
‘The movement is still alive," he sum
“The leadership comes naturally. On
senes ofleaders may get killed, butth» ■
comes out another series of leaders
Li said he is fighting for basic hum.:
rights in China, not for political conn
of the government by an oppositn i.
group. For this reason, he refused to be
on the board of directors of the
Federation for a Democratic China, the
main group of exiled pro-democracy
leaders.
“The most important thing is to brinr
to China the concept of human rights
What we struggle for, what we fight tor
are human rights, very basic univers e
human nghts,” he said
On Aug. 16, Li took his case to the
I N. subcommission on human rights
in Geneva, asking for a resolution
condemning the Tiananmen Square
massacre.
Following his address, a Chinese
Government observer branded Li a
criminal, wanted by the security organs
of a member state of the United
Nations,” and charged him with being
“personally responsible" for the June 4
killings in Beijing, according to TheSeu
York Times.
In a historic move, the subcommis
sion eventually passed a resolution
condemning the Tiananmen Square
massacre.
It was the first time one of the five per
manent members of the LLN. Security
Council was censured for human rights
violations.
The greatest obstacle to democracy, he
contends, is the tight control over infer
mation by the government.
