LULAC Education Conference in Davenport The State LULAC Convention and Education Conference of 1982 is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, April 23 and 24 in Davenport. Our local council is very much involved in the effort, and hopes to gain experience in organizing the event as, being the newest council in the state, the convention will most probably be in Iowa City next year. As described, the agenda has two functions: 1) it is a state convention of local councils, and 2) it is an education conference for high school and university students. The agenda looks something like this -- a presentation on Friday at 2:30 p.m. on "The 1980 Hispanic Data", with Bernard Arzu, information specialist for the U.S. Census Bureau in Kansas City and a 4 p.m. presentation on "Political Strategies and Alternatives", with a panel of Latino political organizers from across the state. The student component begins on Saturday at 9:45 a.m. with "The Value of Post High School Education" with Teresa Nieves of Iowa State University as the keynote speaker and a panel of state educators. At 10:45 a.m. Dr. Nancy Barcelo of the University of Iowa will speak on "Colleges and Universities: Admissions, the Process and the Market." She will be joined by a panel of state university students. At 1:30 p.m. Emilio Valdez of the Spanish Speaking Peoples Commission will moderate a panel of state university recruitment counselors. At 4 p.m. a meeting of student organizations, both high school and university will meet in a workshop entitled "Student Networks-A Critical Link between Universities." Some highlights of Saturday's convention agenda include: the keynote address at 8:30 a.m. by Dr. Arnold Torres, national LULAC congressional liason; luncheon keynote speaker, Dr. Samuel Betances of Northeastern Illinois University; and the banquet keynote speaker, Professor Steffen W. Schmidt, of Iowa State University speaking on "National and International Developments: Implications for U.S. Hispanics." There are many other workshops scheduled for Saturday, as well as a dance at 9 p.m. at the Holiday Inn (where the entire event ill be held). There is a good chance a university (car(s) will make the trip to Davenport. For more information concerning the convention and conference, contact Arturo Sierra at 353-7170. Bilingual Ed. Is Alive & Well In Iowa City Dr, Alfredo Benavides reports that there are over 40 Elementary Education majors specializing in Bilingual Education. Anyone interested in using their native language skills in an effort to aid children should contact the Bilingual Education Office at 353-8943. At a recent conference at Texas A and I in Kingsville, Texas, Dr. Benavides presented a paper on the effects of pesticide contaminants on the academic performance of children. Bellecourt Speaks on Indigenous of Central America Clyde Bellecourt of the American Indian Movement spoke of his recent trip to Nicaragua and his talks with representatives of the Sandinista government at the UI IMU on April 5. Bellecourt is well knwon for his association with AIM but he visited Nicaragua, at that country's request, as a representative of the International Indian Treaty Council, a group which recently won non-government recognition status at the United Nations. Bellecourt charged that information about Nicaragua's indigenous population in U.S. national newspapers is false. the U.S. government recently reported that Nicaragua has isolated its Indian population in remote areas for discriminatory purposes. Bellecourt contradicted these statements, saying never before has he seen a government consider the rights of Indian people in such a fair and thorough manner. He said the Nicaraguan government has recognized Indian people's right to self-determination in their own land, and that the government's campaign against illiteracy includes bilingual/bicultural schools. He said the problems of the indiginous population are a high priority in that country's reconstruction efforts, but they want to avoid creating a bureaucracy like the U.S.'s Bureau of Indian Affairs. Bellecourt also spoke of Indian people's role in the liberation movements of El Salvador and Guatemala. His visit was sponsored by the UI El Salvador Solidarity Committee. Chicano Politics The United Progressive Party recently won a majority of seats on the University of Iowa Student Senate. Among those elected to the Senate was Sergio Molina, who previously held one of the two minority seats on the 1981-1982 Senate. The Chicano-Latino Indian American Student Union subsequently appointed Diego Vasquez to the minority seat which was left vacant by Sergio's successful bid for an off-campus seat. Soon after the 1982-1983 Senate was seated, Victor Ramirez was unanimously elected by the new body to serve as vice president. Vic is the manager of the Chicano Indian American Cultural Center and is also president of the UI Veteran's Association. Congratulations to Vic, Sergio and Diego for achieving a level of representation never befor enjoyed by Latinos on the UI Student Senate. Good luck and best wishes for a successful year! UI's Riverfest Features Pow Wow The Chicano Indian American Cultural Center will sponsor a Pow Wow at the University's Riverfest celebration on Saturday, April 17. The event is scheduled to start at 3:30 on the west side of the Iowa River by E.C. Mabie Theatre, across from the IMU. The Pow Wow will feature singers and dancers from the Mesquakie Tribe of Tama, Iowa. Everyone is invited to attend and participate in the fun and dancing. 2
