BLACK STUDENT UNION
In trying to serve the University Black community,a s well as the outside Black community, the Black Student Union (BSU) has striven to provide meaningful programs as well as relevant entertainment. Through the protests of the early Afro-American Student Association, an Afro-American Studies program evolved. Afro-American studies is now an educational experience to be shared by all students. It was the early AASA that demanded as Afro-American Cultural Center, a place which would provide some resemblance of the Black community to which we must return to lift our brothers an sisters out of bondage.

ACTIVITIES
This year, the present Black Student Union was as active as its predecessor. Herein, we present a list of the successful programs of the past year.
1. As part of fall orientation, sponsored documentary film for all new and returning students.
2. Mac's Zanchin-Kai Karate Do (free and open to all Blacks) presented an exhibition. The instructor emphasized the need for Black students, especially women, to take karate as a means of conditioning the mind as well as for self-defense. Five members of the karate club participated in a state karate tournament.
3. Pamoja ("Coming Together" in Swahili) was the annual Homecoming festivity.
4. The Voices of Soul, Black genesis troupe and karate club presented a performance at the Iowa State Men's Reformatory in Anamosa, Iowa, at the request of their Black Culture Group.
5. The Fifth Annual Experience took place in the spring. This is a series of political, educational and social experiences.

The Black Student Union fall calendar will consist of an African Feast, Afro-American Ball, Homecoming Ball and Black Experience Month. All the activities described above will continue during the forthcoming academic year.

CHICANO INDIAN-AMERICAN STUDENT UNION
The Chicano Indian-American Student Union was founded by and for Chicanos and Indian Americans interested in meeting and exchanging ideas with other students with whom they share a cultural heritage.
The Chicano Indian-American Student Union exists to aid in the students' adaptation to University life. It further serves as a means of tying the University to the various communities which its members represent.

CHICANO INDIAN-AMERICAN CULTURAL CENTER
In the spring of 1971, the Chicano and Indian-American students began negotiations with The University of Iowa to establish a center to support the culture and life style of the Chicano and Indian-American student on campus. The Chicano Indian-American Cultural Center will be a focus for Chicano and Indian-American students to meet and exchange ideas. The Chicano Indian-American Cultural Center, or The House, was finally established in mid-August, 1971, at 115 North Clinton.

PURPOSES
1. To provide a permanent setting for Chicano and Indian -American students to gather in an informal atmosphere reflecting the needs and interests of Chicano and Indian-American students in the University community;
2. To provide a center for the cultural expression and enrichment of Chicano and Indian-American students and the University community; and
3. To provide an area for academic development for students.
After a year's existence, the Center has achieved the purposes as stated and hopes to expand them to include Chicano and Indian communities in Iowa and neighboring states for the 1972-1973 school year.

We can never forget what has happened. But we cannot go back nor can we just sit beside the trail.
