-11- LA CASA A meeting was held Friday, January 27, at the CIACC with the intent of gaining direction in the programs that are now available to members of the CIASU and in the proposals of new programs that could be instituted in the future. A brief rundown will be given so as to inform all Chicanos & Native Americans on campus of the opportunities available. Some of the new students have never visited our facilities and I would like to invite you to drop by and see for yourself the people who, like yourself, are trying to get that old sheepskin. Our address is: 308 Melrose Avenue. 1) Teatro Zapatista has been an integral part of the CIACC for the past 5-6 years. As its name suggests, it is a theater group which performs "actos" dealing with our realities, mythes, legends, hopes, dreams, and frustrations. At present, Sylvian Ramirez is the one to talk to for anyone who [a?]spires to try out his wildest dreams as an actor or a writer. 2) Los Bailadores Zapatista, or "Chanclas Animadas", perform traditional Mexican dances which tell of our history, culture, and morals. There are eight female and three male dancers but more dancers are constantly being sought. Last semester two performances were given. This semester four more are planned with two here and one each in Des Moines and Madison, Wisconsin. Celina Espinoza and Adele Lozano are in charge for those interested. Practices are every Sunday at 2:00 p.m. at Hillcrest. 3) Genaro Vasquez Preschool has dealt with the West Liberty Chicano Community for six years. It needs people interested in elementary and bilingual education to reorganize and put it back into operation. There are possibilities of credit for a practicum to those interested. Eddie Ildefonso, Celina Espinoza, or Lowell Jaeger would be the people to talk to for those interested. 4) Ft. Madison Prison Visitation - Monthly Saturday visits to the Native American Chicano Cultural Center in the Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison. Student with proper clearance visit with the members in an informal gathering. Also, families of our students are visited with hopes of sensitizing the community to the prisoners' needs. Darlene Wind or Nufe are knowledgeable about the visitations. 5) Publications - We have two forms of getting in touch with each other. One is El Laberinto, our periodic newsletter and the other, El Nahuatzen, a magazine of poems, tales, and other forms of art. Anyone interested in journalism or art could have much input or just anyone with interest. We'd love to hear from you. Eddie Ildefonso and Teresa Garcia are the ones to talk to. 6) Tama Youth Group - Junior high Native Americans are in need of our support in developing hobbies as they are suffering from the doldrums of "nothing-o-do" in Tama. Darlene Wind is looking for one Saturday out of the month to bring them to Iowa City for various activities with members of our Student Union. The possibility of transferring the West Liberty Preschool Program to Tama was also discussed. 7) Recreational Activities - Several students expressed their desire to see various recreational activities organized for members of the CIASU and friends. Tobogganing, volleyball, and ice skating were among those mentioned. If you have any other ideas or are interested in participating, contact Mike Espinoza or Arturo "Butch" Ildefonso. Notices of planned activities will be posted at the CIACC. --Jon "Dancing Bear" Munoz [emblem]
