benefit Hispanic A&M students
as a whole,” Moralez said.
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.
Visualization science is a
master’s level program in the
College of Architecture. There
are currently 28 students in the
program.
