Spaniards who had lived in St.
Augustine in the previous Spanish
period returned from Cuba, and
other Spaniards came, the large ma-
jority of the population of St.
Augustine was made up of Minor-
cans... and their descendants,”
Woodland said.
“Among the descendants of these
Florida Minorcans are found two
bishops of the Catholic Church....
Other descendants of the original
settlers at New Smyrna included
popular entertainers Diana and
Judy Canova,” Woodland said.
Stephen Vincent Benet, Pulitzer
Prize-winning author, was also a
Minorcan descendant.
After Woodland’s lecture, Billy

Holmes believes in participation
Anthony Holmes, right, discusses the Student Government Association with David Drake. 1,110(0 br Drew Loker
By Kevin Brown
UP senior staff writer
Anthony Holmes, president of the
Lamar Student Government
Association, gained experience for
his duties by working in the city
government in Beaumont. He began
to establish his credentials in the fall
of 1988 when John Hock (SGA vice-
president at the time) appointed him
to the position of city council liaison.
“Upon the first meeting, Mayor
Meyers said that he would like to in-
voke more student participation in
city government,” Holmes said. “He
asked me if I wanted to be the first
‘Mayor for the Day.’ ”
It wasn’t long after this that City
Councilman Audwin Samuel asked
Holmes to be his assistant.
“One thing led to another, and I
discovered that I was becoming in-
terested in politics,” he said.
At the same time all of these
changes were occurring for Holmes,
the SGA presidential elections were
coming up for this year. At requests
of friends, he became interested in
the position.
“I was very busy, but I thought
that it would be a step in the right
direction to run for SGA president,”
Holmes said.
Being elected didn’t come without
sacrifices. Through Councilman
Samuel, Holmes met the late Con-
gressman Mickey Leland. Leland
asked him to come to Washington,
D.C., and assist him in his offices
there. Holmes declined the invita-
tion in order to serve his term at
Lamar.
Holmes is experienced in more
areas than politics. Upon graduation
from Robert E. Lee High School, he
spent time workig with corporate
law firms in Houston.
“I worked with different firms for
three years doing research as a
clerk,” he said. “It really helped me
to develop good study habits. I work-
ed on cases in research. Every one
of them had to be studied thoroughly
and carefully.
“The time that I spent in the firms
helped me to prepare myself for col-
lege. It helped me to make a decision
on my major (finance) and to go to
law school after I complete my
bachelor’s degree.”
Anthony Holmes was bom in
March of 1964 in Baytown, Texas. He
is the youngest of three children.
One of the biggest inspirations
throughout his life has been his older
brother Marion.
“My brother always excelled in
everything that he did, especially in
sports,” Holmes said. “He
graduated from I-amar in 1980. He
would have gone to the the Olympics
in track if not for President Carter’s
boycott in 1980. He still holds some
records here. Serving as SGA presi-
dent is my way of leaving a legacy
here at Lamar.”
Others who have had an impact on
Holmes include Bob Hayes, wide
receiver for the Dallas Cowboys;
O.J. Simpson, running back for the
Buffalo Bills and San Francisco
’49ers; and the Reverend Martin
Luther King. Jr.
“M.L.K. is one of my biggest
heroes,” he said. “I believe in the
way he accomplished things in a
peaceful manner. He did a lot for
black people and all people. Now,
many are champions for his cause.”
Holmes considers student involve-
ment in activities and organizations
as very important to the individual
and to the college as a whole.
“I want to invoke more student
participation in organizations,” he
said. “Grades don’t mean
everything. It is extremely impor-
tant to meet people and see
another’s point of view. The
classroom situation doesn’t do
enough to fulfill this.
“You go to college to get a
knowledge base. Every individual
can have a hand in the changes at
Lamar, but it is necessary to get in-
volved in things and speak out.”
Ann Shaw, dean of student
development, also considers in-
volvement as of utmost importance.
“I think it is of primary impor-
tance to the education of the
student,” Shaw said. “Research has
proven that the student who is af-
filiated with the institution in other
capacities than going to class is
more apt to successful completion of
a degree plan. It is also beneficial
for interpersonal skills that will
enhance the education.”
Anthony Holmes felt that SGA was
the best way he could help out the
school in an overall fashion. He
didn’t want to get caught up throw-
ing his efforts into interest groups.
“The reason I got interested in
SGA in the first place is because it
serves a broad spectrum of people,”
he said. “I can work with the entire
student body, not just an interest
group.
“I want to deal with the issues that
are important to all students. I
would like to help to improve the
situation in academic advising. I
want to help to improve faculty-
student relations.
“We need more student participa-
tion. You don’t have to be a voting
member of SGA to get involved and
find out what we are dealing with,”
he said.
“You don’t have to be a member to ,
express yourself,”, he said.
“Students don’t realize how policies *
at Lamar affect them. •
“We all need to be part of the solu-
tion and not the problem.” *
