A Hernandez Continued from page 1A When dealing with cultural and ethnic differ ences among people, many try to abide by the maxim to judge people by their character rather than their appearance. The problem with this color-blind approach, Hernandez said, is that we should be taught not to judge at all. but seek to understand dif ferences that exist. “We’ve gone wrong by saying, ‘be colorblind.’ ” he said. “Ignoring differences leads to tolerance, which leads to indifference, which leads to igno rance and finally conflict and misunderstanding.” Understanding is reached by listening, mediat ing, facilitating and negotiating, Hernandez said, but communication can be hindered by an individ ual’s “nacio” — one’s biases, fears, status and power. By stepping out of this preconceived mind- frame, differences can be acknowledged and under stood, Hernandez said. He gave an example of how a person responds to an insult. Rather than immedi ately defending oneself, it is more constructive to ask why a person thought or said what he or she did. Hernandez said. “We should learn to enjoy a world that is becom ing more complicated,” he said. “We need more facilitators of relationships, because everything is about relationships.” While a student, Hernandez was a founding member of the Committee on Awareness of Mexican-American Culture at A&M. He practiced employment and product liability law in Bryan and was a litigation lawyer for A&M before becoming associate vice chancellor. Hernandez also teaches international negotiation in the College of Business. Band Continued from page 1A field. During the final tryout rounds, candidates con ducted the band playing “The National Anthem,” “The Spirit of Aggieland” and a musical selection ot their Choice. They also led the band through another drill. Selzer said the tryout process and his experience as a band member prepared him for his new leadership position. “Looking back, it all makes sense,” he said. “The funny way the Corps works ... It’s all in perspective why we did everything we did. You need the experience you had as a fish in order to lead the band as a senior.” Lt. Colonel Jay Brewer, associate director of the Aggie Band, said the band has used the same selection process since 1946. He said it is a good indicator of the candidate’s capability to lead the band during actual half time performances. “It’s a lot of pressure to lead 400 band members during tryouts,” he said. “The pressure is even greater when lead ing the band in front of 80,000 people during halftime.” Dominy said he enjoyed his time as head drum major, but will not miss the pressure that came along with it. “I am going to medical sc hex) 1 next year,” he said. “I anticipate having less pressure as a medical student than as a drum major.” Morrison said he looks forward to being a drum major despite the stress it will bring. He said he under stands the commitment he must have to carry on the band’s traditions. “There is more to the band than positions,” he said. “To have a great band, everybody has to work together and tiy their hardest for each other. None of this could have happened without my buddies’ support. I plan to support them as their drum major.” Continued from page 1A K Brittney S enforcement agencies will helpai::B incor po r ati some of the problems. ■rticipated I , .1 \ C.u . ilie 1lcp.11 imeni issiwm^ths in 2( than 400 minor in possessionohm e j V e collei citations and arrested approximaM••[ decidec to 70 people.
