ment, but the program engages stu-
dents with people in the community
who are in need.
■ “Once a student can see the posi-
tive impact their work is having on
others’ lives, a personal commitment
to continue to help others usually fol-
lows,” Perry said.
Perry not only encourages his stu-
dents to volunteer, blit he also par-
ticipates.
Every year, Perry dresses up like
Uncle Sam for the Fourth of July and
sings patriotic songs for 300 people at
the hospice center.
For Christmas, Perry dresses as
Santa Claus and sing carols to the
patients.
It is these individual volunteer
efforts, which come together to con-
tribute to society, one family at a
time.

“It’s interesting talking to some-
one who lives that long and finding
out what happened during their life,”
Briana Ingram, a liberal arts freshman,
said.
“Once they are gone, those stories
are gone,” Velasquez said.
Glen, who is 88 years old, had
a hard life growing up during the
Depression, when jobs were scarce and
money was scarcer.
Glen had five brothers who all joined
the military.
She grew up to become an elemen-
tary school teacher until she married
and gave up her career to raise a fam-
ily of her own.
“That’s how it was in those days,”
Jacqui Navarro, an education fresh-
man, said. “You gave up your job for
your family.”
Later in her life, Glenn developed
Parkinson’s disease.
Today, Glen lives with her daughter
while receiving help from the hospice
center.
“She was real happy to have any-
one come by and was asking us ques-
tions about our lives,” Peter Tischoff, a
business management freshman, said.

unteer at Vistacare, 9901 W. IH 10, a
hospice center that cares for elderly
patients who need help while living
with family members or in nursing
homes.
“The idea behind service learning
is to get people who are normally in
the classroom interested in helping the the hardships of raising a family of 10
community,” Perry said.
It has been a long road for 97-year-
old Munoz, who grew up in Mexico at
a time when Villa was recruiting people
to help fight his revolution.
Villa was one of the foremost lead-
ers of the Mexican Revolution between
1911 and 1920.
“Pancho Villa used to come to
Munoz’s house for coffee and ask her
family to join his cause,” Alexandra
Velasquez, a journalism freshman,
said.
Villa wanted Munoz’s father to join
the fighting, but her father had 14
children to care for and said no, so her

patched to Fletcher Administration
Center about 11:25 a.m. to take her
report.
“She explained what happened,
while crying, and I saw my daughter
in her so I asked her if she was willing
to take my advice,” Nieves said.
“She was drawing attention to
herself by wearing a very short skirt,
so I advised her to wear a little longer
skirt.”
Nieves said he never intended to
offend or insult Wester. .
“The officer that took the report
was very nice,” Wester said. “I just
didn’t expect his comments, but-1
was not offehded.”
Business freshman Leslie Fincher
said, “People should be able to wear
what they want without fear of being
intimidated by anyone. It’s ridiculous
that it’s OK to take pictures of girls
Evlalia Munoz met Pancho Villa
when she was a little girl in Mexico
while Ayda May Glen lived through the
Great Depression.
Their stories have become part of a
service learning project in which stu-
dents interview senior citizens during
“Story Time,” and record 20 copies of
their life stories on manuscripts to shara
with relatives.

with students from his ENGL 1301,

At the age of 13, Munoz moved to
Laredo with her family and learned to- alternative to another writing assign-
speak English.
She began to work as a seamstress
and had her first child at the age of 16.
Seeing history unfolding at such
a young age helped Munoz deal with

Freshman Kaya Wester was rid-
ing the escalator in Moody Learning
Center about 11 a.m. Monday when
she felt something touch her leg.
When she turned around, she saw
a guy smiling while checking his cell
phone. Wester realized that he had
taken a picture up her skirt.
Wester said the guy walked into the
restroom upon arriving at tire seventh
floor, so she followed and waited for
him outside but he didn’t exit before
she had to go to her next class.
Wester said the guy was about
5-ft-10, Hispanic with black hair
combed to the side.
She told her classmate Marcella
Pena about what had happened as
soon as she walked into the class-
room.
“Kaya seemed so frustrated like
she was getting ready to cry,” Pena
said. “She couldn’t focus at all
throughout the class, so I told her to
call the police.”
Pena called The Ranger’s news-
room about 6:15 that evening after
checking in with Wester to find out
if she had contacted the district’s
department of public safety.
“She called the police,” Pena said.
“The officer that did the report told
her not to wear a skirt.”
Cpl. Leonardo Nieves was dis- because they’re wearing short skirts.”
