A Hispanic studies minor has
been added to the Texas A&M De
partment of Modern and Classical
Languages and has met with ap
proval from students, teachers and
advisers involved.
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-

Oberhelman said the department
will begin working on creating a
Hispanic studies major.
Oberhelman and Arizpe stressed
the fact that the Hispanic studies
minor concerns many aspects of
Hispanic culture throughout the
world and that the program deals
with more than simply language.
“This is a program that brings in

to 15-20 hours of risk management
training.
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.
