to see society as an abstraction
through the “duality of social
life,” more specifically in the
congealing and breaking forces of
economic and social interdepen-
dence. He said that the best thing
the American society as a whole
has going for it is the immensity
of the economy.
“The vast economy requires
all races and genders to work to-
gether so that the system won’t
break,” he said.
The main forces working to-
ward breaking society can be
found in race, gender, class and
political viewpoints, Mindiola
said. He explained the roots of
the perception of divisions be-
tween the Mexican Americans
and the Latinos.
“[South and Central Ameri-
cans] come to the United States
with their culture more intact,
their Spanish is better, their sense
of being Latino is more firmly

of Anglo American society and
language,” he said.
Mindiola said the opposing
forces of society to the Mexican
American communities began
with the two cultures’ interaction
in Texas more than a hundred
years ago.
Mindiola described the inter-
action of Cultures from the birth
of Texas through the era of deseg-
regation in the ’60s and ending
with the current uproar over ille-
gal immigration.
He also discussed the social
relation between the Mexican
community and the black com-
munity in Houston and Los Ange-
les.
Mindiola held an open dia-
logue with his audience regarding
perceptions of other Latinos by
the Mexican community.
Approximately 60 students
attended Mindiola’s speech,
which concluded with a 30-
minute question-and-answer seg-
ment.

giate Press as a finalist for the 2005 Pacemaker Awards.

well as the only representatives of Texas nominated as
finalists for both awards. Other finalists for both
awards include San Francisco State University, Kenne-
saw State University, Eastern Illinois University and
Harvard University.

ing achievement.

adviser, said the Pacemaker Award is the equivalent of

Speaker explains race issues
by John Mayfield
reporter
Society is in flux, so it is im-
portant to understand what is
bringing society together and
what is breaking it apart, a guest
speaker said last week.
Dr. Tatcho Mindiola, director
of the Center For Mexican Amer-
ican Studies, visited South Cam-
pus Oct. 5 to discuss the past,
present and future of Mexican
American relations.
Mindiola said he spent the
week in multiple talks, speeches
and lectures followed by newspa-
per and television interviews,
mainly concerning Mexican im-
migration.
“When I went to bed last
night, I was tired of being a Mex-
ican,” he said.
Mindiola sits on committees
for multiple Mexican communi-
ties in the Houston area and
teaches Mexican American stud-
ies at the University of Houston.
Mindiola said it is important

Holcombe also discussed networking with impor-
tant people in the Disney Corporation.
Some of the positions students can apply for in-
clude hospitality, operations, food service and mer-
chandise (or in the words of Holcombe, “Merchan-
tainment”). Students can also receive college credit
for enrolling in any of the seven courses offered.
TCC, however, is one of the few schools that do
not yet recognize the credit, Holcombe said.
If students are interested in entertaining and get-
ting paid for it, they can go online to www.disneycol-
