Thursday.March 18.1999 The University Daily Kansan Section A · Page 5 Chicano activist speaks at KU By Dan Curry dcurry@kansan.com Kansan staff writer It costs $700 for Irma Muniz to travel to see her husband, Ramiro "Ramsey" Muniz, the former Texas gubernatorial candidate who led the Chicano Civil Rights Movement in Texas in the early 70s. When she sees him — every seven months or so — they don't go out to dinner or call for room service. She just looks into his eyes and says nothing, waiting for him to speak, as they sit together within the confines of the Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. "He's an extraordinary man," Irma Mulliz said. Ramsey Muniz was a Baylor University football star, a practicing lawyer and a key figure in the Raza Unida Party that swept Chicano persons into Texas political offices in the 1970s. "He's a leader — he doesn't belong in there," Irma Muniz said last night to 20 people at a speech sponsored by Latin American Solidarity and the newly formed Leavenworth Political Prisoners Support Group. Roberto Izarry, San Juan, Puerto Rico graduate student and a founder of the Leavenworth Political Prisoners Support Group, said that his group was not affiliated with any particular political movement. Irma Muniz's speech at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries building, 1204 Oread Ave., was the group's first event. Irma Muniz spoke about her husband's political achievements as a leader for the Raza Unida Party and his subsequent struggles with the law. Ramsey Muniz ran for the Texas governorship in 1972 and 1974, receiving only 6 percent of the vote in his best race. "He upset, through his actions, a lot of local elections," Irma Muñiz said. "Prior to that, we had no voice." She said his platform called for giving the right to vote to foreigners, fair distribution of wealth, removal of trade embargoes, economic sanctions against Cuba and the implementation of equal minority representation in the judicial system. Irma Muniz said her husband had spent ten quiet years married to her, finding lawyers for Chicano people in Texas. "I can tell you we lived a very happy life, a very beautiful life," she said. Irmu Muhiz said these issues and others made her husband a threat to the establishment and a target of the Drug Enforcement Agency. In his third run-in with the DEA, Irma Muniz said Ramsey Muniz was driving his client's car two miles to his client's new motel. The DEA found 40 kilograms of cocaine in the trunk. Ramsey Muniz was convicted of a third felony drug charge, which by federal law mandates a life sentence without parole. "One day the truth about his past will be known." Irma Muniz said. Irizarry said that the Leavenworth Political Prisoners Support Group would continue to schedule speakers who talk about political prisoners in Leavenworth. The objective of the group is to consolidate support for all political prisoners inside Leavenworth, he said. Anyone interested in joining the group can contact the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee at 842-5774. — Edited by Clint Hooker Senator to represent Daisy Hill Templin Revolution member seeks re-election on Delta Force ticket By Nadia Mustafa jmustafa@kansan.com Kansas staff writer A member of Templin Revolution wants to represent the concerns of Daisy Hill residents in Student Senate next year. J. D. Jenkins, Templein Revolution president and Shawnee sophomore, has filed a petition to run as a Delta Force candidate for a Nunemaker senator seat. Templin Revolution, which is composed of more than 30 Templin Hall residents and other students, works to improve Templin and provides its residents with an additional or alternative form of representation and participation. The group also supports freedom of expression and student, faculty and staff rights. Jenkins joined the Senate Student Rights committee last fall and has been a Nunemaker senator since February, when he was chosen as a replacement senator. He said that if elected, he would work on issues such as campus safety, public transportation and safety at the intersection of 15th Street and Engel Road. "The main thing is representing people on Daisy Hill and voicing their opinions." Jenkins said. Jenkins said that Templin Revolution allied with Delta Force for the campaign because both organizations wanted to effect change within Senate and on campus. "We need hard-working people who are interested in doing things that will be good for students instead of keeping the status quo." Jenkins said. Jenkins said that he and some other Templin residents initiated Templin Revolution as a joke last fall. He said that the residents became serious about the organization following controversy last semester about an allegedly libelous "Before that, I was just involved in my little world in Templein." Jenkins said. "But after meeting with different campus organizations, we got a better understanding of what was going on on campus, and we decided that we could actually do something." Now, Jenkins tells the organization's goal is to mobilize voters on Daisy Hill by recognizing issues important to them through a series of visits. "Maybe their voices aren't being heard enough in Senate," he said. Yesterday was the deadline for candidates to file with the elections commission. Jennifer Watkins, elections commissioner, said that the commission had to count signatures on candidates' petitions, so senatorial candidacies would not be official until March 30. Delta Force has 53 senator candidates and YOU coalition has 59. Three independent candidates also are running. —Edited by Kelli Raybern --offer expires 3/31/99 LIMIT - FOUR PIECES PER PERSON (PIG) Great boots on sale from these companies!
