Iowa City LULAC Organized

An Iowa City chapter of the League of United Latin American Citizens was recently organized and is already planning an interesting and active agenda for the year ahead. Because of our growing numbers in many communities across Iowa, Latinos in Iowa City felt strongly that we become recognized in a manner not associated with the University. 
     A primary focus of LULAC is raising funds for Latinos interested in gaining a college degree. LULAC is also striving to become a representative political organization and it is in this function the Iowa City council feels most challenged. 
     A one-time free of $15 is charged new members, with yearly fees only collected after that. For more information concerning LULAC, contact Dr Rusty Barcelo at 353-5383.

Minority Students General Assembly 

A General Assembly of Minority Students Against Financial Aid Cuts was recently held at the Iowa Memorial Union. A group of concerned students have continued to meet and are now planning a letter-writing campaign which would involve student participation during their regular classes if endorsement of the idea is granted by the Faculty Senate. The General Assembly members also tentatively planned a rally at the Pentacrest in conjunction with  Riverfest activities April 16, 17 and 18. 
  The Assembly is composed of concerned individuals as well as members of the Black Student Union, the Chicano-Latino Indian American Student Union, Student Senate, the Student Senate Minority Affairs Committee, and the UI Chapter of the NAACP.

Adelante Mujer Hispana Conference in May

The third Adelante Mujer Hispana national conference for Hispanic women will be held May 21 and 22 in Denver, Colorado. The Auriaria Higher Education Center will house the conference where Hispanic women will develop leadership skills, and learn about economic opportunities that can be gained through education, training and experience. 
     The conference, along with with its chair of authority, originate from leadership provided by members of Las Mujers de LULAC Council 3007. Steering committees and other specialized committees are comprised of staff and membership of sponsoring corporations and companies involved in the conference. 
        The conference will be organized into three tracks. They include 1) The High School Hispana 2) The Emerging Hispana and Careeer Seeker, and 3) The Professional Managerial Hispana. 
    Within each of these tracks many workshops will be presented on appropriate topics such as " The High School Hispana and Emerging Woman Seeking Employment," "The Hispana Seeking Career Mobility Opportunities," and "The Aspiring Professional and Managerial Hispana."
    One major focus of the conference is to expose participants to the fact that Hispanic women are the majority of the Hispanic minority in the United States, yet this fact has not allowed Hispanic women to achieve the success of their male counterparts. 
     This national conference for Hispanas will be promoting the emergence of Hispanic women into professional careers. For more information on attending the conference, contact Arturo Sierra, Special Support Services at 353-7170 or Dr. Rusty Barcelo at 353-5383.
