a part of an educational exchange

PowerPoint presentations and
architectural discussions were the
main focus of the Sept. 20 meeting
of the TCC board of trustees on
South Campus.
Ernest Thomas, campus presi-
dent, welcomed the board to South
Campus and then showed a presen-
tation of patriotic images while
America the Beautiful played in the
background.
The board was then shown a
presentation on the distance learn-
ing program on South Campus.
Carolyn Robertson, director of
distance learning, showed the board
facts and figures concerning enroll-
ment in the program.
Distance learning has been of-
fered since 1973 when it only of-
fered two courses.
Robertson also presented the
board with two grants that had been
received by the college.
The grants totaled over a mil-
lion dollars and are to be used for
the library and the distance learning
program.
The board approved an amend-
ment to the contract for construc-
tion of the fire-training center on
NW Campus.
The amendment was needed
because the costs of the center had
been cut slightly.
Tommy Abercrombie then
showed the board floor plans of the
fire-training center.
To help with the design, local
fire departments and fire protection
agencies were consulted.
Abercrombie described the
center as “a shining star and state-of
the art.”

Counseling services available to students
by Chris Taylor
editor in chief
Counseling Centers on all TCC campuses are
prepared to work with students who are suffering
from the effects, of the attacks on Sept. 11.
The NW Campus counseling center is taking
to the streets to help students.
Joe Rode, director of counseling, said,
“Counselors are putting out the word that help is
available by walking the campus and visiting the
television rooms.”
Any student having anxiety over the attacks
also can visit with counselors in the counseling
center.
“This attack will touch not just students or
faculty members, but their families as well,” he
said.
Rode said that NW Campus will be offering
a series of student workshops that can help deal
with anxiety from the attacks or from taking
tests.

Rode invites any students having problems to
come to the counseling center.
Triesha Light, counselor and associate pro-
fessor of psychology, said that South Campus is
“promoting the hours we are open and telling stu-
dents about the counseling center and what is
available to them.”
' Light wants students to know that counseling
is available to students who need help scholasti-
cally or personally.
“We are encouraging instructors to make an-
nouncements that counseling is available to stu-
dents feeling the effects of the attacks,” she said.
Light is also involved with Women in New
Roles (Win-R), which has support groups avail-
able to any student. Interested students can con-
tact Light at 817-515-4740 to participate in the
groups.
NE Campus also has help available for stu-
dents who are depressed or are having anxiety as
a result of the attacks.

lAncient music celebrates heritage
I by Betsy Page

' j The Andes came to SE Campus
jalast week when Vision Andina per-
'■ ■formed for students, faculty, staff
j»^and visitors in the Roberson Theater.
As a part of Hispanic Heritage
Month, SE student activities spon-
sored the performance of the An-
dean music ensemble from Bolivia.
B The performance opened with
■the reading of Oda a la Vida, a
poem by the popular Chilean poet,
Pablo Neruda. Ivan Mino, SE as-
sistant professor of Spanish, read
the poem in Spanish while Pert Du-
rapau, SE director of student ser-
■vices, read the English translation.
■ Following the poetry reading,
Jacco Velarde and Vision Andina
dedicated a traditional song to the
memory of the victims of the Sept.
11 terrorist attack.
. The music presented by Vision
Andina is ancient folk music, in the
Aymara language, that blends na-
tive Indian elements with European
influences.
Wearing hand-woven ponchos
in vivid colors, the group played se-
4 lections ranging from Camaval de
Valle, a happy, upbeat rhythm from
the valleys and tropical areas of Bo-
livia, to Condor Pasa, a melan-
cholic rhythm from the Incas of the
high Andes.
Listeners may have recognized
, Condor Pasa, made popular in
1 1970 by Simon and Garfunkel.
The concert was accompanied
by a slide show that offered the au-
dience the opportunity to take a vi-
sual tour of South America.
Audience participation was en- played, including the quena, ayerti- wood, like the one played by Ve-
couraged: listeners were invited to
clap to the beat, and SE instructor
Jose Gonzales volunteered to assist
onstage in playing one of the wood-
I en instruments.
Many unique musical instru-
ments, from the highlands of South
America, were featured in the per-
formance.
I Percussion instruments includ-
red a big drum called a bombo and
chajchas, rattles made from goat
hooves.
Various wind instruments were
