Chris Alvarado, secretary gen eral of the Hispanic Presidents Council, said the nine Hispanic or ganizations on campus formed the council in 1991 to set up meeting times that did not con flict, thus allowing students to get involved in more organizations. “It basically started as a cal endar committee for Hispanic or ganizations,” Alvarado said. “But we rewrote our constitution to get more involved in serving Hispanic groups at A&M. “Our main goal is unity for Hispanic groups at A&M,” he said. “We also serve as a voice for many Hispanic students.” Dr. Gabriel Carranza, direc tor of the Mexican and Latin American program at Texas A&M, said he supports the coun cil’s efforts to work together and decide what is best for the His panic organizations on campus. “This program is very neces sary because it allows the differ ent groups at A&M to share courage students to attend the meetings and voice any opinions or suggestions they have,” Moralez said. “The council stress es a user-friendly attitude and wants to be considered accessible to all Hispanic students.” Alvarado said that right now the council is working to get the Brazos Valley involved by set ting up educational speakers on a number of issues important to the hispanic community. “We want to bring the Latin community together to discuss is sues,” he said. “The council also plans to work with high school students, educating them about issues such as gang violence.” Carranza said that including the community in the council’s programs, especially schools around the area, is important to get more people involved. “It also helps with the recruit ment of minority students,” he said. “Showing high school stu dents that we support them and are willing to help serves as a positive role model.” “I have no interest in downgrad ing art. The lab is a wonderful opportunity to combine computers and art.” The curriculum has also been recently revised, House said. Di rectors revised the curriculum to devise separate required classes for students. Students who are admitted to the program with little art background are required to take two art classes, and stu dents with little computer ani mation experience are required to take two classes in computer programming.
