Eduardo Conrado knows first-
hand the relevance of global par-
ticipation. The former Fulbright
scholar and attorney is a native of
Nicaragua where he backed a left-
wing revolutionary movement in
the 1970s only to find that when
the revolutionaries toppled the
dictatorship, they too became
oppressive leaders.
Now, the district's director of
international programs, champi-
ons a new cause, promoting inter-
national education at the commu-
nity college level.
In an interview Monday,
Conrado discussed his past, and
the reasons international educa-
tion is especially important to this
district.
Born in Nicaragua, Conrado
came to the United States in 1978
as a visiting Fulbright professor.
Conrado had a law degree
from the National University of
Nicaragua, and had done gradu-
ate studies in social sciences in
both France and Spain.
At the time of receiving the
Fulbright, Conrado held the posi-
tion of dean for the school of
science and letters at the National

Amy White of this college,
demonstrated their flat-footed
stomping style of dancing.
Red, white and blue costumes
brightened the stage as they per-
formed a type of dance that is
mixture of two-stepping and tap
dancing.
White, said the dancing group
has performed in Belgium, Japan
and on television.
At the park, four members of
the Bexar County Buffalo Soldiers
Association set up a campsite,
including a tent and burning
camp fire.
The sun came out just after 1
p.m. while an audience sat in 44
degree weather, enjoying enter-
tainment that included Romanian
dancers, tango dancers from
Argentina, the San Antonio Swing
Dance Society and some young
flamenco dancers who performed
to "Gato Montes" and kept the
audience smiling.

The nursing education build-
ing was burglarized last semester,
according to police reports and
nursing education Chairperson
Lula Pelayo.
Nine videocassette recorders
were stolen from the building,
along with a laptop computer, all
components of the nursing pro-
gram's multimedia carts, Pelayo
said.
The multimedia carts combine
a computer, VCR and overhead
projector for use by instructors.
Education skills specialist
Peggy Wood said there were no
signs of forced entry into the
classrooms and closet where the
equipment was kept.
The equipment, worth more
than $4,100, will be replaced by
the end of this semester by using
grant funds, Wood said.
Thefts occurred over three
weekends in November. The first
was a VCR stolen between Nov. 3
and Nov. 5 out of Room 211.
"It seemed like they were fig-
uring out how to get them out,"
said Wood, who is responsible for
acquiring equipment for the nurs-
ing center.
Anti-theft cables that held the
VCRs in place were still there,
and the locks were still engaged,
she said.
"The casing was pried open,"
Wood said. "They pried all of
them. They were all bent, but
only got one VCR out, and (they)
came back later for the rest of
them."
Six VCRs were stolen between
Nov. 10 and Nov. 12, which left
the remaining classrooms with-
out a VCR.

The Fulbright scholarship pro-
gram, conceived by Sen. J.
William Fulbright, operates by an
exchange of students and scholars
between the United States and
other nations.
It was originally funded by
profits from the sale of U.S. mili-
tary surplus after World War II.
"The idea is to understand the
realities of other countries,"
Conrado said. "When scholars
work together, they promote
peace."
During his scholarship
Conrado taught sociology at El
Paso Community College.
Conrado said that when he
returned to Nicaragua in 1981, he
realized that he could not stay
there.
"In '79, there was a drastic
change in the revolutionary
process in Nicaragua," he said.
Prior to this change Conrado
had been a supporter of the
Sandinistas' fight to oust the
Somoza leader.
The Sandinistas, formed in the
1960s, were a leftist Nicaraguan
rebel group named for the guerrilla
