One political leader, Henry
Cisneros, will speak next week
about the openness of our
culturally diverse society and
its role in understanding the
American Dream.

Cisneros, the first Mexican-

American city, believes U.S.
cities should not be bound by
previous hardships.

Cisneros. "If we believe that,
we might as well throw up our
hands in despair."
Aside from his position as
mayor, Cisneros has been
politically active on a national
level. President Bush asked
him to help brief Soviet
General Secretary Mikhail
Gorbachev during the 1987
Summit. And when Democratic

Thomas Sanders spent most
of last Friday cleaning out his
desk, saying his good-byes
and exchanging phone
numbers.
Sanders, better known as
"Chip," wrapped up his four
year career as a Police and
Safety officer at Behrend last
week, having accepted a
position with the Mount
Lebanon Police Department in
Mount Lebanon, PA.
Of course, people rarely
called him officer or used his
real name.
"No one's ever called me
Thomas, let alone Officer
Sanders," Sanders said.
"We 11... if they're getting
arrested, it's officer."
Sanders was known for his
"tough cop" image. Did he
deserve it?
"Oh, I liked the, tough cop
image. The way I look at it is,
it helps me do my job. If
people know I'll arrest them
for breaking the law, maybe
they'll think twice before
committing a crime," he said.
The tough cop image
doesn't quite fit Sanders, who
out of uniform likes to talk
about his wife Deborah (with a
baby due in September), his
dog Lance, fishing and wood
working. "In fact, if I decided
not to be a cop, rd want to be
a landscaper. Strange, but
true."

In addition to his political
life, Cisneros currently hosts a
Hispanic radio talk show, is a
faculty member at the
University of Texas and
Trinity University and chairs

96-year old government reform
group.
