f, April 2, 1992 The Battalion Page 5 panish lecturer endorses tolerance ontinued from page 3 as a teacher in Coleman, Texas, and then came to A&M as a grad uate student in Spanish. After earning his master's degree, he ac cepted a position as a language fa cilitator for the Office for Interna tional Coordination. He translated University System documents and tutored faculty who traveled abroad. I After a few years he was hired on as a lecturer for the modern languages department. He also ent time teaching at the prison Huntsville. "At one time I was teaching live musjmy regular classes, A&M faculty ' night. members and, in the evening, in- mates," he said. "It was ironic that lists. Tm the inmates were the best stu dents!" They were more interested and dedicated than my other stu dents - ironic in a society where inmates are valued so little." He said the inmate students overwhelmed him with gifts of paintings, handbags, pottery, woodwork and leatherwork. "They were overwhelmed that anyone would treat them with re spect," he said. "It's almost as if society believes prisoners not only lose their civil rights, but also their human rights. We talk more and more about inmates as if they were animals." Over the past few years, he has started leaning back towards Catholicism, because his views do not mesh with the views of most conservative Baptists. For exam ple, he is pro-choice, and doesn't think people should force their be liefs on others. "I think God vomits when he sees Christians imposing their val ues on others who aren't Chris tians," he said. "Many of the same people who are pro-life are also for the death penalty." For now, Caraballo is content with teaching his students the Spanish language and spicing up his lectures with witty anecdotes from his childhood in Puerto Rico and his experiences of learning a new language when he came to the United States. And although the "little E.T." goes back to Puerto Rico about once a year, he is doing just fine in his adopted home. -S, a hugepii cello among Jments, an] et lovers, ta! tic trashma an dance to.' 9 p.m„ ant it.
