Third World Coalition Advisory Board,
1n l.t s formative stages, met October 31,
and the following is a capsule of what
transpired.
REPRESENTATIVES:
One representative came from Ujamma,
(Donna Hayes) one from the Asian Coalition
(Jahari Jones) and one from MECHA (Sue Yba;ra).
Each group as well as NASA (Native American
Student Association) have offices near the
Coalition on the third floor of the library.
Stude nts, staff and faculty are needed to be
a part of the Advisory Board. A special
appeal is sent out to the Third World faculty
and staff for consideration. We need at least
t~o representatives from each group, and would
l1ke to achieve a balance of students, faculty
and staff. The Advisory Board serves in the
capacity of a sounding board for the Coalition
Coordinator and helps in the decision making
process as needed. A set meeting time has
not been assigned until things are jelled.
WORKSHOPS
The Advisory Board addressed the idea of
providing educational workshops for Third
World students on an ongoing basis, such as
grantwriting, to empower us with the knowledge
of how to obtain the money necessary for
special projects. Another idea was along the
vein of cultural workshops, perhaps over a
weekend, to include instruction in the areas
of dance, music, theatre, etc.
SEHINARS
Another issue of importance, was the feeling
that Third World students especially needed to
make contact with the people in power here, i.e.
Da n Evans, the Vice Presidents, Deans, etc.
Check them out, ask them questions, hear them
speak; learn the bureaucratic process and
