#3 Women don't like to used or "kept"-at least I don't and I know my closer friends don't either. For example, I consider a woman is being used when she is constantly reminded of her so called "duties" that are not necessarily her duties but rather the responsibilities of the collect. Hopefully, within the next few months this house will serve a higher purpose, meaning for more than just a few "elitists." This house can be a place for everyone's warm and comfortable laughter, not a place of laughter resulting from ridicule, so let it. I have resolved that I haven't tried to run away from this place. My mind has been in a state of confusion and not of dormancy. True, my attitudes have changed, but I know they've changed for the better. I will continue to go to this house and I encourage others to go. I believe that we can all work together and build constructively but the building has to come from everyone. [[upside down exclamation mark]]QUE TODAS VENGAN! VIVA LA RAZA [actual signature] Elisa M. Sanchez(?) FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4--Cedar Falls Iowa. Twelve students from the Chicano Indian-American Student Union went to the university of Northern Iowa to hear Miguel Barregan, who is an ex-priest that is now an economic developer in the Southwest. Mr. Barregan spoke on the conditions of nuestra raza in the Southwest, especially in California because that is the territory he is most familiar with. He said to really advance our raza, we must be able to create an economic base to build upon. we must be able to be economically free from the Anglo society. How can we fight the very same people who pay us every week? "The Anglo Society is a sick society. It's called color sickness. Don't fall into the same trap. Brown power, Black power Red power is all fine and good--be proud of your color--but don't think that you have to go and kill of everyone else to survive. We need everyone," the ex-priest went on to say. This writer regrets that he cannot put down on paper the excitement one felt as he was talking about our Raza. Mr. Barregan is also a singer, composer, guitarist who has recorded on the Bronze Artist label. If you would like to see his work come to the Chicano House and hear his record which a few are for sale. If you ever get the chance to hear him speak, don't miss him.
