Dr. Victor Arizpe, an A&M Spanish professor, said the minor will help students “develop a sound foundation in language competen cy in Spanish; provide integrated access to knowledge of the Hispan ic world and its people; and foster an understanding of the important social, economic, and political is sues facing the Hispanic world and Hispanics in the U.S. and Texas in particular.” The program is open to students in any major and requirements in clude six hours in A&M upper-di vision Spanish language courses taken at the University or abroad, nine hours in Hispanic topics and is sues (from various departments) and one capstone or exit course se lected in consultation with the co ordinator for the Hispanic studies minor. While they are not required for the rriinor, internships, volunteer ing, work or study abroad and ser vice learning activities in Hispanic communities are encouraged by the Department of Modern and Classi cal Languages. “I’m a strong proponent of in corporating experiential opportuni ties into education,” Arizpe said. “I’m finding opportunities for stu dents to wotk in the local commu nity with agencies or where they can come into contact with the His panic population. I’m also looking at opportunities within the Univer sity where students can come into contact with other Hispanic stu dents and compliment classroom instruction.” The new minor was added by the department's Hispanic Task Force, which consists of faculty in the Spanish, English, sociology and history departments charged with designing programs relevant to His panic studies. The minor was ap proved during the past academic year for implementation in Fall 2000. In addition to the new His panic studies minor, the Department of Modern and Classical Languages will be adding master’s and doctor ate programs, pending approval by the State Higher Education Coordi- ISTIN RO \attalion Texans wil :ase in the f jse of recer e droughts /, forcing tin lin dormant She ants !

Organizations classified as “af filiated” and “registered” will be groups whose activities are usually limited to their members and carry less risk for the University. The safety requirements for these orga nizations will be less stringent. The risk-management team, ap pointed last spring by Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. J. Malon Southerland, took into account the findings of the commission that in vestigated the 1999 Bonfire col lapse, Jackson said. According to the commission, one of the contributing factors of the collapse was a “cultural bias” that caused the University adminis tration t,o ignore warning signs of danger in the building of Bonfire. “From the report, we took some basic themes, like having a proac tive instead of reactive approach to risk management, so we don’t get caught up in an organizational tun nel vision,” Jackson said.
