Cisneros visits HSU
Henry G. Cisneros one of the
youngest rising stars of the political
arena was the guest speaker
Thursday at Hardin-Slmmons
University's 93rd Convocation.
Cisneros 37 is serving his second
term as mayor of San Antonio. He
became nationally known when
Walter Mondale interviewed him as a
possible vice presidential running
mate on the Democratic ticket.
The mayor's address consisted of
threo cuts at the future beginning
with a look at the unprecedented
growth of Texas. Citing Texas
Florida and California as "mega-
states" because of the relocation of
many Americans to the Sunbelt
Cisneros said "It's a tremendous
historical thing wo are witnessing."
He told the students that such growth
means added responsibility for
Texans to keep up with the pace. All
of the responsibility is not un-
pleasant however because the op-
portunity for fortune increases as
wet!
The second cut Cisneros spoke of
was the transformation of the Texas
cconemy. He predicted that Texas
will parallel the rest of the nation by
A
K . ?'
changing from an oil- and
agriculture-based economy to one
based on high-tech electronics. He
also spoke of the need for continuous
education because of the fast-
clanging economy.
Cisneroc last cut dealt with South
American relations. He sees a
desperate need to turn from the
traditional European-faced In-
ternational policy to a policy dealing
with relations between the U.S. and
countries to the south. The
geographical and political
relationship the U.S. shares with the
countries to the south makes
problems of those countries im-
mediate said Cisneros. He said that
if the problems are not dealt with
now someone else will have to deal
with a much more intense problem
involving greater violence
Cisneros ended his speech by
stating that In the midst of the great
amount of change occurring the
innate sense of optimism that is
particularly a Texas trait and makes
"two plus two equal five" must
remain the same. "The greatest
opportunities are yet to come" the
leader said.
