Dr. Gwen Kennedy Neville,
associate professor of sociology since
1979 at Southwestern University, was
promoted to professor at the recent
Board of Trustees meeting.
Neville is head of the Sociology
Department and holds the Elizabeth
Root Paden chair in sociology. She has
done extensive research in the areas of
urban culture and society, culture and
community, and anthropology of
religion. Her research has taken her to
Scotland, the Southern Appalachian
Highlands of North Carolina, and
other areas of the South.
The author of two books and
numerous papers and articles, Neville
is presently working on a book-length
manuscript tentatively titled Kinship
and Pilgrimage: Rituals of Reunion in
Protestant Culture.
She is a graduate of Mary Baldwin
College. Neville’s master of arts and
doctor of philosophy degrees in social
and cultural anthropology were con-
ferred by the University of Florida.
From 1971 to 1979 Neville was on
the sociology and anthropology faculty
of Emory University in Georgia, where
she also held an appointment in the
Center for Research in Religion in the
Candler School of Theology.
The Southwestern professor has
been invited to lecture at Harvard and
Princeton and for such programs as a
National Endowment for the
Humanities seminar on the American
family, held at Columbus College. In
recent years she has presented papers
at conferences from Florida to New
York on topics including religion and
southern culture, American pluralism,
and youth in mainstream Protestan-
tism.
Neville wrote an article on kin- .
religious gatherings as pilgrimage for a
recent book, “Religion and Southern
Culture — Roots, Continuities and
Anomalies,” edited by Sam E. Hill Jr.
and published by the University of
Florida Press. Other articles of recent
years have appeared in Encyclopedia
of Southern Religion, Anthropology
and Education Quarterly, Florida
Journal of Anthropology and
American Anthropologist.
Neville is a fellow of the American
Anthropological Association and
member of the American Sociological
Association, American Ethnological
Society, Society for Applied An-

Gonzalo Barrientos, Texas state
senator and Democrat, visited South-
western last Monday to address a
Faculty Forum and to meet with one
of Dr. Perez’s classes: La civilizacion
y la cultura de Latinoamerica. He
spoke on topics varying from his
upbringing and entry into the political
arena to what goals he would like to
see accomplished in the forthcoming
legislative session.
Gonzalo Barrientos visited SU last Monday to address a Faculty Forum and to
meet with students. The Democrat Texas state senator-elect displayed his
political savvy at the Forum and later, with students, discussed his background
as a migrant worker and his goals as an eminent Texas legislator.

He decided to enter the political
arena when, he says, "I saw the boss
of the farm where I was working drive
up in a new Cadillac. My family was
in 105 degree heat. The car was
air-conditioned. I asked myself, ‘Why

Mr. Barrientos’ rise to position as
state senator has been meteoric,
considering his background. He was
bom to a family of migrant workers.
His boyhood days were spent picking
cotton and doing other farm work to
help his parents make ends meet.
These years have left an indelible
mark on his personality: he is
a no-nonsense, straightforward,
street-wise politician who apparently
is quite concerned about his fellow
Hispanics and other oppressed
peoples.
am I here, and he there?"
He considers education the primary
obstacle to equality among the races.
It is not surprising, therefore, that he
claims that the most significant goal
of the next legislative session is to
"streamline" the Education Bill to
provide the people of Texas -
especially those minorities who at
present are faced with inadequate
educational facilities - a better
education. The mounting concern
over the Texas budget needs also to be
addressed, claims Barrientos, and we
shall have to see whether or not taxes
must be raised.
Senator Barrientos is indeed a
prime example of the recent muscle-
flexing of the Hispanic electorate. He
is a maverick politician who seems to
be, as do many other Texas politicians
these days, in the right place at the
right time. Not only is he a
smooth-talking, well-informed leader,
he also happens to be in. the
government of the same state Which
boasts perhaps America’s leading
Hispanic as Mayor of San Antonio,
Henry Cisneros. Indeed, in the
not-so-distant future it is probable
that Mr. Barrientos’ proven skills
may be put to use on the national
level.
