One challenge, he said, stems from the fact that the United States will be forming new relationships in the world. Stronger relationships with Mexico and Central American nations will only be achieved through cultural understanding, he said. Part of that understanding con sists of realizing not all problemycan be cured by technological means, Cisneros said. “I submit to you that one of the great challenges of your time is going to be to begin to unravel the knotty problems — not only of trade and immigration and political revo lution and war — but the problems of how people can live together in this hemisphere,” Cisneros said. H e also said a challenge exists in Texas A&M Regent Henry Cisneros making society a place in which the human spirit can get in touch with it- f elf despite the reality of an increas- ngly technological world. “Human beings are not made as high-tech devices,” Cisneros said. “And so what we find, even with the burgeoning of high-tech, is a whole host of things that indicates people’s search for getting back in touch with nature and themselves.” Another need is for “people per sons” to emerge and help personal ize large bureaucracies and other in stitutions, Cisneros said. “The top five business people in Photo by MIKE SANCHEZ San Antonio that 1 work with on a regular basis are as successful as they are (and) in the positions that they are because they’re people persons,” he said. “They know how to deal with human beings. They are not cold automatons. They are not dis tant and aloof from people.” Cisneros also emphasized a fourth challenge — the need to govern in an effective and human way. “Government cannot be done by computer,” he said. “Government can’t be done by formulas. Govern ment cannot be done through proc esses that are mechanical.

The job of mayor is also to be de cided in this year’s race. “We (city council) pride ourselves in trying to involve as many people as possible and to do as many pro jects that are good for the city as pos sible,” Runnels said.
