Yolanda King keeps father's dream alive By Edgar Sandoval The PAN AMERICAN
Some people question that February is dedicated as Black History Month, according to the eldest daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., Yolanda King: "We should celebrate our history year round not just one month of the year, but we got the shortest month of the year."
The punch line got the desired laugh, but Ms. King, an African American Activist, said her message was serious. Our communities have to learn to live in a multicultural society. Ms. King spoke last Thursday to 300 persons at the University Ballroom. Sponsors called the event a success when tickets sold out within a week.
"We have not reached the promised land," said the actress, who appeared in the movie about civil rights activist, Medgar Evars, Ghost of Mississippi. "My father's dream remains allusive."
'Whether we like it or not, we have to live in a multicultural society," she said.
"We must focus on difference until difference does not make a difference."

Citing philosophical differences with The Pan American Advisor, David Waltz resigned as the editor of the student newspaper Monday at a special meeting of the Student Publications Committee.
At the meeting, Waltz spoke of his problems at the newspaper and being unable to resolve his differences. The resignation was accepted with regrets by the Student Publications Committee, who in turn authorized the Advisor, Bob Rollins, to appoint an interim editor for The Pan American. The Committee will meet in early March to appoint an editor to fulfill the term of the Spring semester. An editor for the Fall semester will be chosen in April and will assume duties beginning with the Summer editions.
In his resignation letter, Waltz cited problems with the Advisor and his involvement, the newspaper budget, and also with the move of The Pan American to the guidance of the Communication Department. Waltz stated, " I strongly feel my efforts to maintain student control of The Pan American is a losing battle... I feel no matter what
I do to maintain student control of The Pan American, my efforts will be in vain."
Part of the differences between Waltz and Rollins was due in part to the efforts of Rollins and the Communication Department to integrate the Journalism classes (Reporting, Editing, Photojournalism ) into the production of The Pan American and PANORAMA, campus magazine. While the Communication Department believes that this will help in the education and development of communication students, Waltz clearly saw it as an effort to weaken his direction and authority.
"As editor, my major obligation is to produce a weekly tabloid newspaper on time. I feel at this time, depending on a class to report news is undermining my efforts to produce The Pan American and therefore I choose not to fulfill that capacity any longer."
In response, Rollins said, "David Waltz worked hard and made many valuable contributions to the newspaper... I wish him the best in his future endeavors."
Rollins has appointed Norma Castillo, a senior majoring in Communication - Advertising /Public Relations, to serve as interim editor. Norma Castillo

dream and enthusiasm. Students responded to her message. "I feel an honor to be here; she really motivates
me to go on and have the decision and power of choice," said Claudia Davila, UTPA Junior

SGA revises budget, appoints officials By Cindy Gonzalez-Ray The PAN AMERICAN
Budget discussions were the topic at Monday's Student Government Association (SGA) meeting. The proposed budget for 1997-1998 increases the stipend for the president and vice-president of SGA and decreases the salary of the work-study wages.
The increase in the stipend is the first in 12 years, said Romeo Diaz, SGA president. "The increase of $1,000 will not increase the budget," Diaz said. The monies will be disbursed equally by semesters in case either officer should resign before their term ends, he added.
A $1,000 decrease in the work-study wages counters the increase. The current budget is $3,152 and is set-up for three work-studies. "SGA usually has only one work-study. Currently they don't have anyone, so the budget committee felt they could cut the wages instead of cutting into their operating costs," said Patricia Zarate, SGA advisor. Budget hearings for the SGA will take place at 4:40 p.m. February 19.
James Ogle, Chairman-Personnel Committee, announced two $250 scholarships to awarded to UTPA students. "We will advertise for applicants involved in student activities, outstanding in character and have .0 GPA," said Ogle.
New senators and judges were appointed for the remaining term. The new senators: Jason Powell, at-large; Stacy Leal, College of Business
Administration; Fernando Barreto, College of Business Administration; Rueben Gonzalez, Jr., College of Health and Human Services; Christina "Kiki" de la Fuente, College of Science and Engineering; Robert Townsend, College of Science and Engineering, and Rafael Obregon, College of Social and Behavioral Science.
New judicial members: Carlos Dcigado, Judge Advocate - Student Court and Roseanne Diaz, Judge -Student Court. Laura Leal wasappointed Associate Justice of the Student Supreme Court.

r Q — Does UTPA need a new student union?
Yes. The students need to be united and this would be one way to do it. Right now the SGA is not doing a good job of pulling us together.
Lourdes Servantes Communication, Sr.
Yes. A student union would bring more attention to the school. I would participate more in student activities, if there was a union.
Laura Martinez Pharmacy, Freshman
Yes. I do see the service fees being used for us and I take advantage of using them. Many students don't take advantage, because they're misinformed.
Esequiel Garcia Math, Senior
Yes. There's nothing here where you can meet people. If we have a student union, we will be less divided.
No. The activities on campus are doing well. There are always things going on and a lot of students participate. We are fine.

The Pan American is an official publication of The University of Texas-Pan American. It is produced in the Communication Department and published each Thursday, except during examination periods, vacations and holidays. Views presented are those of the writers and do not necessarily reflect those the university administration. Subscriptions are $8 per year or $4 per semester.
All Letters to the Editor are welcome; however, please limit length to 250 words. Include your name, address and phone number on all letters. No anonymous letters will be printed. Letters printed will be on a space-available basis.
A message from the Editor... Life takes some interesting turns when we least expect it. I never
expected to work on the student newspaper much less as Interim Editor. I figured, what do I have to contribute? Well, we all have something to contribute because we spend so much time on this campus and see many things that go unnoticed.
The mission of The Pan American is to serve as a forum for students as well as community events that affect our campus.
This is why I invite everyone to contribute ideas and suggestions for YOUR newspaper! We have all paid (through our student fees) to have this publication printed. What better opportunity to have your ideas and feelings heard.
We want you to look forward to reading the newspaper every week, to flip through the pages and see yourself and your friends.
Feel free to submit stories, photographs and any material of interest to your fellow students.
Our university, along with our communities, is experiencing growing pains. But along with these changes, comes the opportunity to do new things. The area's proximity to Mexico has made this region a hot spot for investment and education. The construction of the International Trade and Technology building reaffirms our ability to serve as an international university.
UTPA is no longer just the closest place to attend college. It is the place to go to far away places.

Letters... Dear Editor: I am a Chicana who is absolutely outraged by this so called "Higher
Education" establishment. How can a university that is considered to be one of the top five universities to have such a high enrollment of Hispanics, Latinos (as) and Chicanos (as) deprive anyone from their lawful right of an education.
There I've said it, and I am not afraid to shout and scream that "I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS BUREAUCRACY". I have a cousin who is being deprived of her education because the UT-Pan American disability services has failed to provide her with the proper special arrangements she needs for A L L of her classes.
Being that my cousin is disabled doesn't give the university the right to alienate her from the rest of her classmates. She has the same problem every semester. She doesn't receive the proper chair or desk in her classes and now she is in need of a scooter to get around campus. She will graduate first before she receives the scooter.
Are we not striving for the same goal? Do we not all have aspirations, dreams and hopes of success? Obviously Pan-American feels only the few and privileged are to be accounted for.
Maricela Ponce Senior Biology major
A Note To Our Readers This is just a friendly reminder that all Letters to the Editor should be no more
than one double-spaced page in 12-point type. It is our policy not to print letters longer than the size specified due to problems last semester. Thank you.

King ~ from page 1 Education major. "She is really a role model for us young people,"
she said. "As a history major, I always read about her father,
and you never imagine that you can meet King's daughter," said Diana Casillas, UTPA History major.
"Listening to her you know that you are not alone, and that the search for the dream must continue," Casillas said.
King said things have changed and advances have been made. But change needs to begin in our educational institutions.
Her goals are described in a anecdote she will never forget.
A man was taken by his guardian angel to one side of the universe. There he saw a big table adorned with international and exotic plates. Yet, habitants seemed depressed and skinny. The man then was taken to the opposite side of the universe.
An identical table was set. But their habitants seemed happy and well untried." Why the difference?" asked the man.
"There is only one law on the entire universe," said the angel. "Utilize what is provided with manage
ment." The only tool provided in the story was a 10-inch
fork. People at the first corner could not find a way to feed themselves with that huge fork. Yet, people at the second corner were feeding each other across the table.
"We have to learn how to feed each other from the other side of the table," King said.

Who's your Valentine ? ... Students share their thoughts
and passionate plans Rita Castro The Pan American
Have you been so busy that you did not even notice Valentine's Day was coming up? Well, Valentine's Day is not just a holiday for sweethearts even though it may be that they take the holiday more serious.
Sweethearts look forward to receiving the traditional holiday gifts. Valentine cards, roses, heart-shaped chocolate boxes and teddy bears are quite suitable presents for family and friends also. Remember that person who helps you at the computer lab, and doesn't even work there? How about mom who irons your clothes? She never lets you look like you just get up and go. Plus that friend that didn't get to sleep one night because you had things you just had to talk about. A thank-you note sounds fine.
Students interviewed at UTPA discussed how much they value the holiday and ways they profess their love to their sweetheart, family and friends.
Lisa Driscoll, Senior in Interdisciplinary Studies says, "Valentine's Day is a day to share the love you have inside with others." Driscoll plans to spend her evening with her fiance. The day is special for her, and she adds that she will make it a point of telling those that are important to her that she cares for them. "My parents do so much for me," Driscoll said. She says she could not manage school without her mother who cooks for her, washes and irons her clothes, and has always been supportive.
Driscoll who will be marrying on May 30th, 1997, says that she wishes that married couples would demonstrate their love for each other. "Couples have a responsibility to show they care for each other," says Driscoll.
Gracina Garcia, Senior in Computer Information Systems says that Valentine's Day is special. "I have a boyfriend. It is a good feeling to have someone I love and who loves me in return. We have respect, love, and friendship for each other." Garcia says her boyfriend has always made it a point of
giving her Valentine gifts. She remembers that the first Valentine's Day was special because he gave her a rose, a teddy bear, they went to the movies, and he took her out to dinner. It was a romantic and special night for her. She is confident that he will take her somewhere special this Valentine's Day.
Henry Serrato, Senior in Advertising P.R. says that Valentine's Day will be just another day. "It's no big thing. If you're single, no girlfriend, not going steady, not engaged, nothing," says Serrato. He says that he wouldn't mind having someone, but he simply doesn't have the time. "I am a full-time student with two part-time jobs," Serrato said.He says he is sacrificing his personal life for his future survival. "Love will find me," he said. He doesn't have the time for commitments. James Landero, Freshman in Manufacturing Engineering says that Valentine's Day is a time to stop and think about how important the family is. "We need other people. We need to care for each other," Landero says. He plans to take his girlfriend out to dinner, take her to visit his parents, and spend time with them. Jessica Navarrete, Freshman in Biology says, "Spending time with people you love is what Valentine's Day means to me." Navarrete wouldn't mind receiving something sentimental. "Going out to eat. A rose would be nice," Navarrete said. Leonor Trevino, Freshman in
Pre-Social Work says, "Valentine's Day is a time to be with someone special." After her three morning classes, she is going out of town. Trevino says her fiance is taking her to a party at M.D. Anderson Hospital. A party in honor of her 16- year-old brother who died of cancer.
Valentine's Day is not just a holiday for young couples struck by Cupid's arrow but for couples of all ages. It is a time to show friends and family that we appreciate the things they do. So, cut those roses off the bushes and put them on someone's vase. Open a box of chocolate and pass it around. Draw that Valentine heart on that dusty car, or wash the car for that special person. Have a happy Valentine's Day!

Lady Broncs hosts Lamar on Saturday
By Georgia Kovich Director of Media Services
The Lady Broncs basketball team will host in-state rival Lamar University Saturday night in a Sun Belt Conference match-up. Tip off time is 7:30 p.m. at the UPA Field House.
The Lady Broncs (3-19, 1-9 SBC) are looking for their second conference win of the season. The Lady Broncs will rely heavily on junior center Royla Rideaux, who is leading the team with 11 points per game and 9.1 rebounds per game against Sun Belt Conference opponents.
Rideaux has led the team in scoring in seven out the last 12 contests. Freshman guard Danielle Chavez is also expected to provide the spark on the
Kelly Garrett Danielle Chavez Royla Rideaux
defensive end. Lamar University (515, 2-8 SBC) is led by sopho
more Denise Scally, who leads the team with 14.6 points per game. Saturday night's contest is expected to be a tough battle as both teams are looking to gain some momentum heading into the conference tournament. Last year in Edinburg, the Lady Cardinals escaped with a 64-55 win in overtime.
On Monday evening the Lady Broncs squared off against one of the most powerful teams in the nation, the number four ranked Louisiana Tech. The Lady Broncs came out with a solid effort in the first half as they were able to contain Tech's full court defen
sive pressure. UTPA trailed by just seven points at the half (35-28), and were led by senior guard Kelly Garrett who connected for 10 points on 3 of 4 (.755) shooting from the field. However, in the second stanza the Lady Techsters proved why they are one of the top teams in the nation as opened up with 12-1 run and dominated most of the second half
Rideaux paced the Lady Broncs with 13 points and nine rebounds, while teammate Michelle Hinton added nine points and 11 rebounds. Tech had'four players in double figures including Jackie Bailey and Jamie Scheppmann who both finished with 14 points each.

Broncs come home to battle UTSA
w
#-
Steve Redden Ben Phillips Mat Siskowski
By Jim McKone Sports Information Director
After a rare happy baseball trip in which they led in all five games, the UTPA Broncs come home for their next 13 games, starting Valentine's Day.
The Broncs stand 4-4 despite losing two thrillers in the ninth inning at always-strong Texas A&M, 8-7 and 4-3.
Now they hope for a St. Valentine's Day Massacre against Texas-San Antonio, which was off to an 0-2 start, losing twice at Lamar.
Coach A1 Ogletree's players are taking seriously their decision to dedicate the 1997 season to their retiring coach. They have won three times by the same score, 5-3. They have left their coach just nine wins short of recording his 1 ,200th victory as a college head coach.
Rookie catcher Chris Aguilar is batting .667 after a 2-for-3 debut as a Bronc, while five veterans are bat
ting above .300. Catcher Steve Redden is batting .385 with a team-
leading 10 hits. Tom Rohan bats .333, Jeff Pool and Ben Phillips both .316 and Matt Siskowski .308. Phillips has the most runs-batted-in, eight.
Now they face UTSA at 1 p.m. Friday— Valentine's Day—in a doubleheader to start their three-week home stand. The Saturday game, a single one, starts at 1 p.m. also.
Next week the Broncs entertain the University of Illinois, No.2 finisher in the Big 10 last season, for five games at Jody Ramsey Stadium Feb. 21-23. It would be more appropriate if the Broncs were playing Illinois on Valentine's Day, because the Illinois coach, Richard "Itch" Jones, used to coach at Southern Illinois, a team with a tradition that couples in the stands would kiss each other after every run
was scored. Jones coached some high-scoring teams there.
The Broncs have got off to a good start despite losing three at A&M, because they took Southwest Texas State two out of three, then swept a close doubleheader at Sam Houston State, 4-2 and 5-3.
Mike Karow (1-0) pitched a two-hitter at SHS, and freshman Omar Ortiz (1-0) of Brownsville won his first college start, a five-hitter.
Kiki Trevino pitched well enough to win at A&M , never walking a batter in eight innings and leading 3-2, but his relief pitcher lost in the ninth, 4-3.
Rick Navarro, a senior from San Juan, already owns three saves, pitching strong relief to nail down three of UTPA's first four victories.
Brandon Stone (1-0) and Ralph Dillard (1-1) own the other two Bronc pitching victories.

University Theatre to depict struggle in Fuente Ovejuna
By Jeffrey Owens The Pan American
Lope de Vega's drama, Fuente Ovejuna, will be presented by the University Theatre February 26 through March 2.
Fuente Ovejuna, which translates as Sheep Well, depicts the struggle between the citizens of Fuente Ovejuna (a small village in the hills of Spain) and the oppressive military leaders of 15th century Spain.
Laurencia, played by Delia Copold (Sr. Drama major), is raped and taken by Commander Gomez, played by Tom Green (Sr. Drama major), of King Alonzos Portugues army, on her wedding night. When Laurencia returns, she and her husband Frondoso, played by Javier Garza, along with the villagers, kill Commander Gomez and several of his men.
When the King's men arrive to find out who killed the Commander, all the villagers respond, under torture, "Fuente Ovejuna lo hizo," which translates "Fuente Ovejuna did it." This is still heard in Spain today.
Lope de Vega is Spain's most famous playwright with several hundred works to his credit. He is often identified as the "Spanish Shakespeare."
"If the Armada had not been defeated by England, Shakespeare might be known today as the "English Lope," said Dr. Marian Monta, a professor in the Communication Department.
Fuente Ovejuna is the most widely performed of de Vega's plays, but was not translated in English until recently, said Dr. Linda Donahue, managing director of the theatre.
Pan Am Nights will be February 24 - 25, when UTPA students, faculty, and staff will receive two free admissions with a validated I.D. card.
