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

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.”
