(4) Minutes of Supreme Council Meeting Feb. 13, 1971, Davenport, Iowa Bill Rocha stated that the State Secretary had met with Mr. Philip Jones at the University of Iowa, at Iowa City regarding scholarships for Mexican-Americans. Mr. Rocha suggested that time be taken by interested parties to contact Mr. Jones preferrably in person for possible assistance in scholarship grants which might be available for promising Mexican American students at the University of Iowa. He further stated that initiative had to be shown by the student and parents and that they must continue to approach every avenue with determination in order to accomplish their goals. The meeting was then turned over to Felix Sanchez, Deputy State Director from Fort Madison, Iowa. He confirmed that the date for the State Convention had been set for Saturday, May 22, 1971. Also, that committees had been assigned to make the 1971 convention the most outstanding yet. More details will be supplied the Iowa councils as matters are confirmed.
