COMING UP NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON... FORMER AMBASSADOR NIKKI HALEY SUSPENDS HER CAMPAIGN AFTER A DISAPPOINTING OUTCOME ON SUPER TUESDAY... WE'LL DISCUSS MENTAL SKILLS HELP FOR STUDENT ATHLETES TO HELP THEM ENHANCE PERFORMANCE ON OFF THE FIELD...THAT CAN ALSO BENEFIT NON-ATHLETES.

AND MEET THE FOUNDER OF ASU'S RESEARCH COLLECTION THAT CELEBRATES THE HISTORY OF THE LATINO COMMUNITY IN OUR STATE.

ALL THIS AND MORE COMING UP ON ARIZONA HORIZON..... GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

I'M STEVE GOLDSTEIN IN FOR TED SIMONS.

TWO MORE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED IN THE BEATING DEATH OF 16-YEAR-OLD PRESTON LORD, WHOSE BEATING AT HALLOWEEN PARTY IN QUEEN CREEK LAST YEAR HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO A GROUP OF TEENS WHO CALL THEMSELVES THE "GIBLERT GOONS."

THE LATEST ARREST CAME TODAY, AS 17-YEAR-OLD JACOB MEISNER, WHO WAS ALREADY IN CUSTODY ON OTHER CHARGES.

ALSO ARRESTED YESTERDAY WAS 19-YEAR- OLD TAYLOR SHERMAN.

THEY JOIN FOUR OTHERS AND ARE ALL CHARGED WITH FIRST DEGREE MURDER AND OTHER CHARGES, SUCH AS KIDNAPPING AND AGGRAVATED ROBBERY.

ALL SIX DEFENDANTS ARE BEING HELD ON A ONE MILLION DOLLARS BOND.

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IS EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE DURING HIS STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH TONIGHT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PORT IN GAZA BY THE U.S. MILITARY FOR HUMANITAIRAN AID.

THE PORT WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN THE MEDITERRANEAN ON THE GAZA COAST AND IT WILL ALLOW LARGE SHIPS CARRYING FOOD, WATER, MEDICINE AND MORE TO DOCK THERE.

THE PORT WILL INCLUDE A TEMPORARY PIER, AND PROVIDE CAPACITY FOR HUNDRES OF ADDITIONAL TRUCKS OF ASSISTANCE EACH DAY.

THE AID SHIPMENTS WILL BE COORDINATED WITH ISREAL, THE U.N. AND HUMANITARIAN NONGOVERMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS.

AND REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS HAVE PROPOSED A BILL TO SELL "ARIZONA HIGHWAYS" MAGAZINE TO A PRIVATE COMPANY.

THE MAGAZINE HAS BEEN OPERATED BY THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SINCE IT WAS FOUNDED IN 1925.

REPUBLICANS SAY THEY HOPE THE SELL TO A PRIVATE VENTURE, IF THE BILL PASSES, WOULD HELP THE MAGAZINE GET MORE SUBSCRIBERS.

AFTER A POOR SUPER TUESDAY SHOWING, PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL NIKKI HALEY ANNOUNCED THAT SHE IS SUSPENDING HER CAMPAIGN.

THIS LEAVES DONALD TRUMP AS THE ONLY GOP CANDIDATE REMAINING.

FOR MORE ON ALL THIS, WE WELCOME POLITICAL ANALYST CHUCK COUGHLIN PRESIDENT AND CEO OF HIGHGROUND INC. CHUCK, GOOZ TOE SEE YOU.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON.

>> WE WILL NOT SPEND MUCH TIME ON NIKKI HALEY, BUT SOME OF THE THINGS SHE SAID IN HER CONCESSION SPEECH OR HER DEPARTED TOUR SPEECH DEFINITELY APPOINTED TOWARDS PRESIDENT TRUMP.

DO YOU THINK ANY OF THIS WILL HAVE AN EFFECT.

>> YEAH, IT ALL HAS BEEN EFFECT.

SHE PULLED A GOOD PORTION OF -- WE ALL WATCHED, THAT IT'S CALLED AN UNDERCOUNT OF WHAT YOU WOULD THINK THAT A WINNING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WOULD HAVE.

YOU HAVE TO GET 85 TO 90% OF YOUR OWN PARTY.

SHE WAS POLL SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 20 AND 30% ADMITTEDLY OF SOME UNAFFILIATED VOTERS AND SOME PORTION OF REPUBLICANS DEPENDING ON WHICH STATE YOU'RE IN.

SO IT'S SOMETHING, THAT YOU KNOW, TRUMP HAS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT AND HAS TO ACKNOWLEDGE IN TERMS OF HOW TO BRING THAT PARTY TOGETHER.

>> MASSIVE NEWS IN ARIZONA POLITICS THIS WEEK.

NOT A BIG SURPRISE BASED ON WHERE THE CALENDAR IS BEGINNING TO BE, BUT SENATOR KIRSTEN KYRSTEN SINEMA SAYS SHE'S GOING TO RETIRE.

SHE AIDED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY FOR THE MOST PART, BECAME A DEPENDENT -- AN INDEPENDENT.

BUT SHE'S SPOKEN UP ABOUT HER EFFECTIVENESS.

AS A FORMER REPUBLICAN, WHAT WOULD THE STATE BE LOSING BY NOT HAVING HER IN OFFICE RIGHT NOW?

>> YOU'D LOSE A PROBLEM-SOLVER.

YOU'D LOSE SOMEBODY THAT WORKED INSIDIOUSLY FOR COMPROMISE IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

ROB ROBB DID A COLUMN THE OTHER DAY ABOUT WHAT A LOSS THAT IS.

AND IT IS CLEARLY A LOSS FOR THE STATE TO LOSE SOMEBODY.

I MEAN, TO UNDERSTAND ARIZONA WELL, AS YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE ROLE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PLAYS IN THE FOUNDING OF ARIZONA.

AND WITHOUT THAT RELATIONSHIP, WITHOUT THE ROOSEVELT DIME, WITHOUT CAP, WITHOUT THE BORDER, WITHOUT, YOU KNOW, ALL OF THESE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS, WE WOULDN'T BE HERE.

>> YOU WORK FOR SENATOR McCAIN AND THERE WERE TIMES WHERE SENATOR SINEMA EITHER TAILORED HERSELF OR FASHIONED HER AS A MAVERICK.

SO IN THIS SENSE, AND I REALIZE SHE HAS TALENTS FOR OTHER THINGS, SHE WAS FRUSTRATED BY WHAT WAS NOT BEING DONE UNTIL SENATE WHERE SHE WAS GETTING INVOLVED IN THINGS.

BUT I'M -- ALMOST FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO ASK, HOW MUCH OF A MAVERICK ARE YOU IF AFTER ONE TERM YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE?

>> YOU CAN ASK JEFF FLAKE THAT AND ASK SENATOR SINEMA THAT, AND YOU THEN COULD ASK -- SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN McCAIN, THAT I'VE OBSERVED, AND FLAKE AND SINEMA WAS THE PERIOD OF TIME -- I MEAN, THED A HE VENT OF SOCIAL MEDIA, THE PUSHING APART OF POLITICS, THE LACK OF INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS, HOW EVERYTHING GETS FILTERED INTO THESE MEDIA FILTERS NOW, AND THAT IS WHAT CHARACTERIZES EVERYTHING.

BUT THE OTHER THING THAT WAS DIFFERENT ABOUT JOHN WAS HE, JOHN WOULD ALWAYS -- I ALWAYS ADMIRED HIM.

WEE GO AND HE WOULD HAVE TOWN HALL MEETINGS, AND HE WOULD BE THERE UNTIL EVERYBODY WAS DONE, ASKING QUESTIONS.

I MEAN, LITERALLY HOURS.

AND THAT WAS HIS -- THAT WAS A WAY OF HIM SHOWING RESPECT FOR THE COMMUNITY, FOR -- AS A PUBLIC SERVANT, AND IT WAS NOT PLEASANT A LOT OF TIMES.

I DON'T KNOW -- IT'D BE INTERESTING TODAY IF SOMEONE WAITED INTO THAT IN THE CULTURE CONTEXT OF WHAT WE'RE IN TODAY OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE.

BUT CLEARLY HE DID THAT.

AS YOU LED OFF THE SEGMENT, SENATOR SINEMA WAS RATHER PROVOCATIVE IN HER DEPARTURE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WHICH I THINK CREATED A LOT OF THAT ANIMOSITY.

SO I DON'T HAVE IT VERBATIM BUT BASICALLY SAID SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF AMERICANS DON'T SEEM TO WANT THE KIND OF POLITICS SHE'S PRACTICING, MEANING A SENSE OF COMPROMISE, BRINGING PARTIES TOGETHER.

CERTAINLY A BOLD THING TO SAY.

DO YOU THINK THAT IS THE CASE NOW OR DO YOU THINK WE'RE STUCK IN THAT FOR A WHILE?

NO, I DON'T THINK IT'S THE CASE.

IT'S THE CASE THAT OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM VALUES THAT.

SEE, YOU HAVE TWO PARTIES TODAY THAT VALUE CONTRAST AND AN MOSQUITOES TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER TO DRIVE UP POLLING NUMBERS WITH PARTISAN PRIMARY VOTERS.

SHE NEVER REPRESENT -- WHEN SHE RAN OUT HERE, SHE SAID I'M NOT A DEMOCRAT, I'M AN ARIZONAN.

I'M GOING TO REPRESENT.

YOU KNOW, ALL THIS COMMENTARY ABOUT HER NOT BEING -- YOU KNOW, BETRAILING HER DEMOCRATIC PARTY, I'M LIKE, SORRY, I DIDN'T SEE THAT.

I SAW HER RUN NATIVELY AS AN INDEPENDENCE CANDIDATE, AND SHE WON, WHICH WAS THE FIRST TIME A DEMOCRAT HAD WON IN ARIZONA IN 30 YEARS SINCE SENATOR DECASINI, SO CLEARLY THERE'S AN ELECTORAL PATH THERE WHICH WAS LARGELY THEN FOLLOWED BY SENATOR KELLY AND FOND SOME EXTENT, AND THEN EMULATED AGAIN MOST RECENTLY IN THE STATEWIDE ELECTIONS IN '22.

SO LET'S GET TO THE HORSE RACE.

NOW THAT SENATOR SIN SINEMA IS OUTSIDE, IT'S GOING TO BE A TWO-WAY RACE BETWEEN KARI LAKE ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE AND DOES THAT GIVE GALLEGO AN EXTRA ADVANTAGE?

AND OF COURSE THE NEGATIVES ARE STILL THERE OR WILL SHE BE ABLE TO CONVINCE MORE PEOPLE WHAT YOU HEARD FROM HE ME IN THE GOVERNOR'S RACE -- >> SHE'S BEEN TRYING TO DO THAT.

SHE'S BEEN TRYING TO RECREATE, YOU KNOW, SECOND CHANCE TO MAKE A FIRST IMPRESSION.

SHE'S BEEN DOING THAT, NOT VERY SUCCESSFULLY, YOU KNOW, SHE WENT INTO THIS THING WITH TWO YEARS OF A NARRATIVE OF I'M STILL YOUR GOVERNOR AND THE '20 ELECTION, MUCH LESS THE '22 ELECTION, THAT'S GONNA BE HARD TO SHAKE.

WHAT I ENVISION IS FOR HER TO BE A VERY NEGATIVE CHARACTERIZATION OF HER OPPONENT.

SHE WILL CHARACTERIZE THE PRE-SENATE CANDIDATE RUEBEN GALLEGO IS A VERY HIGHLY PARTISAN FIGURE.

I WOULD EXPECT A LOT OF NEGATIVITY THERE, A LOT OF CHARACTERIZATIONS OF HIS CAREER, WHEREAS HE, AS YOU KNOW, REPRESENTS THE SMALLEST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IN THE STATE, NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW HIM OUTSIDE OF THE NERD PANELS LIKE WE ARE, AND SO HE'S GOT A LOW NAME ID.

HE'S GOT A GREAT STORY.

LET'S BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.

HE'S GOT A GREAT STORY, YOU KNOW, SINGLE MOM, RAISED-TOUGH FAMILY, HARVARD EDUCATED, VETERAN, LEGISLATIVE CAREER, CONGRESSIONAL CAREER.

I MEAN, THERE'S A GREAT AMERICAN STORY TO BE TOLD THERE.

I WOULD EXPECT HIM TO LEAN INTO THE VETERAN NARRATIVE, TO LEAN INTO THAT SELF-MADE MAN NARRATIVE, AND WE'LL HEAR A LOT ABOUT THAT, AND I THINK THE REST OF THE STATE THERE HEAR A LOT ABOUT THAT, AND I SAID THAT THE OTHER DAY, TOO.

THE BEST DAY ANYBODY HAD ON SUPER TUESDAY WAS HIM BECAUSE HE NOW HAS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HE FULLY BEHIND HIM, WHICH HE DID NOT HAVE BEFORE.

>> OKAY.

>> SO BIG CELEBRATION DAY FOR HIM.

>> CHUCK COUGHLIN, GREAT TO SEE YA.

>> THANK YOU, STEVE.

♪ ♪ THE BANNER SPORTS MEDICINE HIGH PERFORMANCE CENTER RECENTLY HIRED SPORTS PSYCHOLOGIST DR SIERRA DIMBERG, TO HELP AID THE MENTAL SKILLS OF STUDENT ATHLETES.

BUT THE AID WILL GO BEYOND THE PERFORMANCE ON THE FIELD.

WITH US NOW IS DR. SIERRA DIMBERG TO DISCUSS THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL TRAINIING FOR STUDENT ATHLETES AND HOW THAT TRAINING CAN HELP PEOPLE NOT INVOLVED IN SPORTS.

WELCOME.

THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

>> THANK YOU.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BASICS THAT GO INTO THIS?

AND IS THERE MORE OF A CHALLENGE WHEN YOUNG STUDENT ATHLETES ARE TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT?

THERE'S JUST SO MANY OTHER THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON IN THEIR MINDS AND BODIES.

>> YEAH, I THINK THERE'S DEFINITELY A CHALLENGE.

I THINK BEING A KID IN GENERAL CAN BE A CHALLENGE.

THERE'S LOTS OF THINGS AND THEN ADDING SOME OF THE STRESSORS AND PRECIOUS THAT THEY HAVE AS AN ATHLETE.

BUT SOME OF THE BASICS OF THE MENTAL SKILLS, I THINK A SOLID FOUNDATION ALWAYS STARTS WITH MINDFULNESS, BEING ABLE TO LEARN HOW TO CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS, REGULATE YOUR EMOTIONS EITHER ON THE FIELD OR OFF THE FIELD AND DIFFERENT THINGS, GOAL SETTING, CONNECTING TO YOUR VALUES, THINGS LIKE THAT.

>> WE THINK ABOUT MIND.

NESS QUITE A BIT BUT I THINK A LOT OF US THINK ABOUT IT IN OUR LIVING ROOMS OR MAYBE A YOGA CLASS.

CAN THAT BE PUT IN PRACTICE WHEN THE YOUNGSTERS ARE ACTUALLY ON THE FIELD, ON THE COURT, AND AGAIN, COMING BACK TO HOW CHALLENGING THAT IS -- IS THERE SOME SORT OF SPECIAL SKILL THAT IS NEEDED THERE AND DOES THAT GROW WITHIN OR CAN IT BE TAUGHT VERY QUICKLY?

>> I THINK IT DEPENDS ON YOUR DEFINITION OF QUICKLY.

BUT IT CAN DEFINITELY BE TALKED.

IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE SKILLS TO WORK ON WITH PEOPLE BOTH IN CLINICAL PRACTICE AS WELL AS IN MENTAL SKILLS.

BUT I THINK JUST LIKE WITH ANY ATHLETE FOR ANY SPORT THAT YOU'RE PRACTICING, YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE THAT SPORT, RIGHT, YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE BEING ABLE TO PICK UP A SOCCER BALL OR SHOOT A BASKETBALL.

IT'S VERY SIMILAR IN MILDFULNESS AND BEING ABLE TO PRACTICE IT SO THAT WHEN YOU'RE ON THE FIELD YOU CAN USE THOSE SKILLS A LITTLE BIT MORE ACCESSIBLY.

>> I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE A MILITARILY BACKGROUND.

HOW DOES THAT PARALLEL WITH SOME THINGS -- I WOULD THINK PERHAPS SOMEONE FLYING AN F-16, THERE'S A CERTAIN MINDFULNESS ONE NEEDS TO HAVE.

CAN THERE BE SIMILARITIES IN TERMS OF PRACTICING SPORTS AND PRACTICING IN THE MILITARY?

ABSOLUTELY.

I THINK IT ALL COMES DOWN TO PERFORMANCE.

PILOTS OR SPECIAL WARFARE SERVICE MEMBERS OR ATHLETES, THEY'RE ALL PERFORMING IN SOME CAPACITY.

MAYBE A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF RISK INVOLVED THERE.

BUT THE SKILLS STILL DEFINITELY APPLY.

>> IN OUR INTRODUCTION WE MENTIONED THE FACT THIS COULD BE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ATHLETES, AS WELL.

ARE THE PRACTICES THE SAME, THOUGH, OR SHOULD THERE BE VARIATIONS BASED ON WHETHER SOMEONE IS DOING IT TO PREPARE FOR A COMPETITION OR JUST TO GET THROUGH THE DAY?

>> I THINK THERE COULD DEFINITELY BE VARIATIONS.

I DON'T KNOW THAT NECESSARILY A VISUALIZATION OF A SUCCESSFUL PLAY OR RUN WOULD BE AS HELPFUL FOR SOMEONE THAT'S NOT AN ATHLETE, BUT BEING ABLE TO FIND UNIQUE WAYS THAT KIND OF SPEAK TO THAT PERSON, RIGHT.

SO IT JUST DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AN ATHLETE.

BUT FINDING DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES AND WAYS TO BE ABLE TO PRACTICE IT OUTSIDE CAN BE ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYBODY.

>> HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LEARNED OVER THE COURSE OF DOING THIS?

HAVE YOU LEARNED I HADN'T QUITE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS OR DID SOME OF THE CHALLENGES YOU CONSIDERED LARGER THAN YOU EXPECTED.

>> I'VE DEFINITELY LEARNED A LOT, AND I THINK JUST THE NATURE OF MY JOB IN WORKING WITH PEOPLE, IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT IT, AND WE'RE NEVER GONNA KNOW IT ALL, RIGHT, I THINK JUST BY BEING INTRODUCED TO TONS OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE, DIFFERENT SPORTS, PROBLEMS, STRESSORS, THINGS LIKE THAT.

I CONTINUE TO LEARN AND CONTINUE TO APPLY THOSE SKILLS IN WHATEVER WAY IS HELPFUL FOR THE INDIVIDUAL.

>> HOW MUCH OF AN EVOLUTION IS THERE IN THIS SORT OF AREA OF STUDY OR AREA OF PRACTICE?

BECAUSE I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THE IDEA THAT MIND.

NESS IS SORT OF AN EVERY DAY WORK FOR A LOT OF US NOW.

WHERE A FEW YEARS AGO IT REALLY WASN'T.

ARE YOU SEEING MORE PEOPLE ARE ACCEPTING THIS SORT OF PROCESS?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

I DOM WORK WITH SOME OF THE YOUTH TEAMS FOR SOCCER, AND SO MANY OF THEM ALREADY KNOW THE WORD MINDFULNESS, IT MEANS AWARENESS, IT MEANS -- SO THEY KNOW SOME OF THE KEYWORDS WITHOUT IT BUT HOW TO PUT IT INTO PRACTICE I THINK IS THE TOUGH PART.

WE ALL KNOW THE WORD BUT WHAT TO DO WITH THAT AND HOW TO PRACTICE IT I THINK IS THE TOUGH PART, AND THAT'S WHERE I COME IN, TO TEACH IT.

>> I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE IDEA OF STUDENT ATHLETES WORKING WITH COACHES, IS THERE -- LIKE, SAY, THEIR FOOTBALL COACH OR SOFTBALL COACH -- CAN ACTUALLY LEARN FROM SOMETHING THE ATHLETES ARE DOING.

IN THE CASE LIKE THIS MAYBE YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE MORE OPEN TO TRYING THESE THINGS SO IT MIGHT BE GOING UP AS OPPOSED TO GOING DOWN.

>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

SOME OF THE LEADERS WERE HEARING SOME OF THESE TERMS, KIND OF LIKE WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

THE YOUNG SAILORS ARE TALKING ABOUT IT BUT I THINK THE SAME CAN BE SAID FOR COACHES, THAT THEY'RE HEARING THESE KIDS TALK ABOUT IT AND WANTING TO PUT THESE SKILLS AND TOPICS INTO THEIR OWN PRACTICE FOR COACHING AS WELL.

>> DR. DINBURG, WE'LL STOP THERE.

THANKS POSITIVE STOPPING IN.

>> WE APPRECIATE IT.

>> THANK YOU.

>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, PRESIDENT BIDEN PREPARES TO DELIVER HIS STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS TO CONGRESS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

COMING UP AT 6:00, ON ARIZONA PBS.

NOW AN ARCHIVIST AND PROFESSOR AT ASU, DOCTOR CHRISTINE MARIN IS DEEPLY CONNECTED TO HER SMALL- TOWN, MINING ROOTS.

SHE IS THE FOUNDER OF THE CHICANO RESEARCH COLLECTION AND ARCHIVES AT ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY AND IS PAVING THE WAY FOR THE UNIVERSITY'S TRANSBORDER CHICANO AND LATINO STUDIES PROGRAM.

JOINING US NOW IS DOCTOR CHRISTINE MARIN TO DISCUSS THE PROGRAM AND THE HISTORY OF THE LATINO COMMUNITY IN ARIZONA.

>> THANK YOU.

GOOD TO BE HERE.

>> YOUR STORY IS SO FASCINATING AS FAR AS WHERE YOU CAME FROM BEFORE YOU ARRIVED AT ASU.

>> IT ACTUALLY RELATED TO UNIONISM AND COMPROMISING INDUSTRY, BECAUSE THAT IS THE HISTORY OF MY FAMILY.

THE MEN AND THE WOMEN WHO LEARNED THE IMPORTANCE OF UNIONS AND WHY THAT BROUGHT PEOPLE TOGETHER TO RESOLVE ISSUES AND PROBLEMS AND TO REACH SUCCESS.

WHEN DID YOU FIRST DISCOVER THE AMAZINGNESS OF BEING A STORY IN THE LIBRARY?

I GAME AN, A VICE HISTORIAN BECAUSE WHAT WAS HAPPENING ALREADY AT THE ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS.

BY 1968 THEY WERE ALL LEARNING THE ROOTS OF INTEGRITY AND CIVIL RIGHTS BECOME A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY INTERPRETED BY STUDENTS.

SO STUDENTS NOW ARE MAKING SURE THAT THEY THEY GET A SAY-SO IN HOW THEY'RE RECEIVING AND OBTAINING AN EDUCATION AND WHAT IT MEANT TO THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES AND PARENTS BECAUSE OF THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT THEY WERE EXPERIENCING THROUGH THEIR PARENTS 'RACISM, DISCRIMINATION, SCHOOL SEGREGATION AND KINDS OF THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING IN THE COMMUNITY HERE IN PHOENIX AND SOUTH PHOENIX.

>> HOW CHALLENGING, EVEN FROM AN ACADEMIC STANDPOINT, WAS IT TO GET -- >> THE ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVE WAS TO BRING IN WHAT WAS BEING CALLED THEN A NEW ACTIVISM OF CHICANO STUDIES, MEXICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES, WHICH MEANT PROFESSORS, CLASSES, PROGRAMS, LIBRARY COLLECTIONS.

ALL OF THESE THINGS CAME TOGETHER TO PROMOTE THE HISTORY OF MEXICAN-AMERICANS IN ARIZONA BUT IN A SOUTHWESTERN WAY, BUT SPECIFICALLY ARIZONA.

SO THERE WAS A NEED, ACCORDING TO FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS WHO WERE COMING IN FOR A NEW LIBRARY, TO OFFER MATERIALS THAT RELATED TO HISTORY AND TO THEIR OWN BACKGROUNDS IN ARIZONA.

>> WAS THERE A LEVEL OF BUMPINESS, THOUGH?

WERE THERE PEOPLE NOT AS INTERESTED AS LEARNING ABOUT THESE THINGS AND SAID, NO, NO.

I'M THINKING BACK ALL OF THOSE DECADES, HOW MUCH OF A CRIME WAS IT EVEN WITH STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS WHO SAID WE NEED THIS, WAS IT DIFFICULT TO GET THROUGH?

I THINK ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY WAS PROGRESSIVE IN HOW IT APPROACHED TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF THE STUDENTS WHO ARE ASKING FOR CLASSES IN BILINGUAL EDUCATION, CLASSES IN CHICANO HISTORY OR LITERATURE, CLASSES THAT MEANT SOMETHING TO THEM SO THEY COULD BECOME ACHIEVERS.

SO THE UNIVERSITY BROUGHT IN NEW FACULTY, NEW STAFF, NEW PROGRAMS, AND A NEW LIBRARY DIRECTOR AND A NEW HISTORIAN TO BEGIN TEACHING FOR THE FIRST TIME CHICANO HISTORY AND A NEW LIBRARY DIRECTORY CREATE THE CHICANO RESEARCH COLLECTION ARCHIVES.

>> WELL, HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT HAS THAT COLLECTION MADE?

SINCE 1970 WE HAVE BEEN IN EXISTENCE.

WE ARE THE PREMIER CHICANO RESEARCH COLLECTION.

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE OUR MATERIALS, OUR COLLECTION, OUR GOALS, OUR OBJECTIVES SUPPORTED FOR MANY, MANY YEARS BY THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT AND ADMINISTRATION.

U OF A DOES NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF A PERSPECTIVE, COLLECTING MATERIALS ABOUT PEOPLE, PLACES, THINGS AND EVENTS THAT RELATE TO MEXICAN-AMERICAN OR CHICANO MEXICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY, AND IT WAS AT THAT TIME THAT WAS THE THINKING.

BUT TODAY AFTER ALL THIS TIME, THERE IS STILL A NEED TO DOCUMENT THE LIVES AND THE HISTORY AND THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND THE MATERIALS THAT RELATE TO -- THE MATERIAL THAT RELATES TO THE ACTUAL PERSPECTIVE IS AND THE CHARACTER OF MEXICAN-AMERICANS IN ARIZONA.

>> YOU ARE SUCH A PIONEER IN THIS.

ARE YOU STILL AN ACTIVE RESOURCE?

CAN PEOPLE LOOK TO YOU?

YES, I'M TILL STIFF IN MY FIELD AS A HISTORIAN.

I DO MEET WITH GRADUATE STUDENTS TO TALK ABOUT TOPICS FOR A THESEIS AND MEET WITH STUDENTS AT THE LIBRARY OR ARCHIVE TO SHOW THEM HOW TO USE THE DATA BASIS OR ELECTRONIC MATERIAL.

>> THIS IS COMPLETELY NOT FAIR BECAUSE WE PROBABLY HAVE A MINUTE AND A HALF LEFT BUT YOU PROBABLY HAD SO MANY AHA MOMENTS IN YOUR CAREER.

IS THERE ONE YOU CAN SHARE WITH US WHEN IT COMES TO FINDING SOMETHING AMAZING?

>> I'M ALWAYS AMAZED AT KINDS OF STUDENTS THAT THE UNIVERSITY IS PRODUCING NOW.

STUDENTS WHO KNOW TECHNOLOGY AND HOW TO USE TECHNOLOGY AND HOW TO PROGRESS AND BECOME LEARNERS, ALWAYS, OF TECHNOLOGY, BUT THEY ARE ALSO THE STUDENTS WHO WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THEIR PAST, SO THEY ARE THE ONES WHO MAKE THAT CONNECTION WITH ME, AND I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW FROM THEM.

>> WELL, A FOLLOW-UP ON THAT -- >> WHAT I LEARN FROM THEM IS THAT THEY HAVE PRIDE AND DIGNITY AND THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THEIR FAMILIES, WHETHER THEY ARE FAMILIES OF COPPER MINERS, FAMILIES OF FARM WORKERS, FAMILIES OF CONSTRUCTION WORKERS OR ROOFERS, THE KINDS OF FAMILIES THAT DO THE ACTUAL WORK, MAYBE NOT GET THE CREDIT OR RECEIVE RECOGNITION, BUT NOW THEIR CHILDREN ARE BECOMING UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND EARNING DEGREES, BECOMING PROFESSORS, TEACHING IN THE CLASSROOM, BECOMING PRESIDENTS OR SCIENTISTS AND DOING MORE.

SO THAT IS GOOD TO SEE.

>> WELL, WE'LL STOP THERE, DR. CHRISTINE MARIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU.

>> THAT IS ALL FOR MORE HORIZONS TONIGHT, I'M STEVE GOLDSTEIN IN FOR TED SIMONS.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
