After months of disorganization, a United Farmworkers Support Committee has been revived recently in Iowa City. A fight is expected to develop between the committee and the university administration over the continuance of the two-bowl lettuce policy on campus. Efforts to rebuild the boycott against non-UFW head lettuce, Gallo and non-UFW wines and SunMaid raisens will be the focus of the committee's struggle. For information about meetings or other activities contact the CIACC (353-4753/6014). * * * * The boycott against Coors continues. Why the Colorado-based brand has become somewhat of a status symbol among beerdrinkers is a good question, but facts should accompany the mystery. Coors, unlike all other major brands of beer is not pasteurized, causing it to go stale if not refrigerated, or within a month in an icebox. Non-pasteurized beerhas been banned in Oregon since 1968 as a health hazard. During the United Farmworkers strike in the late '60s Coors trucks were used to haul scab grapes. This last summer they were hauling scab grapes again. These actions are lightweight compared to the Coors family's role in beefing up the police department to harass the Chicano movement in Denver. Todo Chicano que toma Coors es un racista contra su misma gente porque el dueno de esta cerveza es un racista que odia a nuestra gente! * * * * The construction of a darkroom in the basement of the CIACC has been completed over the summer. The darkrrom is equiped with film, contact paper, an enlarger, a drier and all the chemicals and equipment necessary to develop and print. For information about use of the darkroom, see Nufe Ramirez or Gary Lozano. * * * * Classes for the fall semester of special interest to Latinos and Native Americans include Ray Leal's Acting I class (36T:101), and John Salter's American Minorities (102:236) and Community Organization (102:228). Acting - I, the Chicano and Native American Experience will be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. For information about Salter's classes consult the fall semester Schedule of Courses. * * * * Leo Fields has been on the job as Associate Director of Academic Services since early June. His services are invaluable to new students, and all students are encouraged to see him concerning matters of academic status. Two new positions have been created to assist Native Americans, Latinos, and Blacks on campus. The Advisor for Minorty Programs will help with the planning of programs for the CIASU and the Black Student Union. A Graduate and Professional Programs Consultant will be responsible for the recruitment of minority students to the UI, and will oversee applications to the graduate schools within the university. These positions have been created for the students' benefit. Any progress can be achieved only with the support of the students. Visit the SSS office (207 Calvin Hall), and offer your suggestions. * * * * Nancy (Rusty) Barcelo has served as Acting Assistant Director for Chicano and Native American Affairs at the UI for the past year. Her relentless efforts to rebuild the recruitment program, her professional and personal encouragement to all students who sought her advice, as well as her willingness to help out even when it really wasn't possible, have benefited greatly Indios, Latinos and Blacks on campus. On the next page is a farewell letter to the students from Rusty. * * * * [emblem] 4
