Laredo 'Trailblazers'
celebrate university's
latest advancements
Stale Senator Judith Zaffinni
(D-Laredo), State Representative
Henry Cuellar (D-Laredo) and
Laredo Chamber of Commerce
Chairman of the Board Elmo Lo-
pez Jr. organized a luncheon to
honor community members that
played a leadership role in bring-
ing about the creation of Texas
A&M International University - a
four-year institution in Laredo.
The luncheon was held at the
Grand Room of the new Texas
A&M International University
campus facilities and it was touted
as "A Tribute to Texas Trailblaz-
ers." The luncheon was held on
Friday, Dec. 15.
Sixty-three individuals were
recognized as Texas Trailblazers
by Senator Zaffinni and Represen-
tative Cuellar and presented with
commemorative plaques that dis-
played the Texas A&M Interna-
tional University globe logo, and a
gavel that symbolizes passage of
supportive legislation. Approxi-
mately 250 people attended the
awards ceremony and lunclieon.
Senator Zaffinni provided at
historical perspective on how the
university was created. The uni-
versity was originally approved by
the legislature as a two-year upper
level center that offered junior and
senior level course of study. House
Bill 607 created Texas A&M Uni-
vefsity in Laredo in 1969. In 1973,
the institution received authoriza-
tion to grant graduate degrees and
expanded its inventory of services.
In 1977 the center’s name was
changed to Laredo State Univer-
sity. It was not until 1993,24 years
after passage of House Bill 607,
that Bill 6 by Zaffirini and Cuellar
was passed by the 73rd Legisla-
ture. This bill established a four-
year university named Texas A&M
International University effective
Sept. 1. 1995.
Contributing sponsors to the
Texas Trailblazers luncheon were
Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company, The Laredo National
Bank, International Bank of Com-
merce. Central Power & Light
Company, U.S. Cellular, Doctors
Hospital and the Laredo Chamber
of Commerce. Assisting Zaffirini.
Cuellar and Lopez in planning the
event were: Dr. Janet Black. David
Cardwell, El via Gonzales. Bill Hall
Jr., J. J. Haynes, Jorge Haynes,,
Sharyn Jordan, Gil Lopez, Paty
Orduna, Mary Trevino, Miguel
Conchas and Diana Tamez-
Walters.

Dr. Phillip Huang, Chief of the
TDH Bureau of Chronic Disease
Prevention and Control, said, “The
findings on inactive or low-activ-
ity life-styles may point to some
major factors influencing health
and welfare costs in this state.”
UA sedentary life-style is one of
the major causes, along with smok-
ing and improper nutrition, of heart
disease, the leading cause of death
in Texas," explained Dr. Huang
The best and most cost-effec-
tive means of health care are pro-
grams that lead to prevention of
disease and injury. And preven-
tion requires health education and
promotion of healthful habits, con-
cluded Dr. Huang.
