The fact that it will take Alaron so long to get her degree is not that unusual. The ACE study found that more than half of all Hispanic students fail to earn a bachelor's degree in six years.

WASHINGTON — Like many Hispanic students, Magda Alarcon had to drop out of college when her money ran out. But at 28, she is back in school, one of a steadily growing number of Hispanics in U.S. colleges and universities.
Other minorities still outnumber them,report says

Hispanic enrollment at colleges up
867,000 in 1991. But it's still the lowest among all minority groups, the American Council on Education said in a report being released yesterday.
In 1990,28 percent of Hispanics 25 and older had attended college,and 6 percent had received degrees, according to the report based on statistics from the Census Bureau, the Education Department and other agencies. Among non-Hispanic minorities,47 percent had some college education and 14 percent had graduated.
The report said the gains recorded by Hispanics were "disproportionately low compared to the sharp increases in their overall population growth." The 1990 Census counted nearly 22.4
million Hispanics, and they are expected to surpass African Americans as the largest minority group in the United States by 2020.
"Historically, Hispanic students have not had the kinds of opportunities more traditional college students have had in terms of their precollege preparation," said Diana Natalicio, president of the University of Texas-El Paso. "The challenges they face as working-class people often require that they discontinue their education if they do graduate from high school."
The report found that in 1991, Hispanics, at 51 percent, had the lowest level of high school completion among all races and ethnic groups. The overall high school graduation

An expanded agreement between the two nations was released yesterday by the Clinton administration.
WASHINGTON — The United States plans to send 10 shuttle flights to the Russian space station Mir as the two countries work jointly to build an international space station.
United States, Russia plan joint space station
"This plan describes a new relationship between the U.S. and Russian space agencies which will advance their national space programs and benefit their respective national aerospace industries," the document stated.
Daniel Goldin, administrator of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, and Yuri N. Koptev, general director of the Russian Space Agency signed the document Monday.
Goldin went to Capitol Hill yesterday to explain the plan to Congress, which must approve any radical changes in U.S. space activities.
The joint activities will go far beyond anything done previously by the two countries. The shuttle will carry new solar arrays to replace the existing ones on Mir. Russia will add two laboratory modules outfitted with U.S. and Russian hardware to the space station.
In the second phase, planned for 1997, U.S. and Russian hardware will be put into space "to create a totally new, advanced orbital research facility."
capable of being serviced by visiting space crews.
Assembly flights to complete the space station will come in a third phase, from January 1998 through October 2001. The station will be built to last 10 years.
The European Space Agency, which represents 13 countries, and Japan have already spent about $2 billion each on the laboratory modules they plan to hang on the space station's truss.
The first station-building flight will put in orbit a Russian space tug that will provide steering and altitude control for the station. The Russians also will supply two Soyuz spacecrafts to be attached to the station as emergency return vehicles.
