Apodaca pushes pride
By VANCE HINER Staff Reporter
Ethnic pride and higher self-esteem are needed if Hispanics are to attain citizenship. The governor of Apodaca, former governor of New Mexico, said Friday night in the Kansas
Opadaca, the keynote speaker at MECHA's (Hispanic student association) conference last week, was New Mexico's first Hispanic governor since 1918, cochairman of the 1976 Democratic Party and governor for a New Mexico U.S. Senate seat.
It is difficult for many people to believe Hispanics can be successful in America without losing their culture, Apadaca told an audience more than 100 people.
Apodaca, governor from 1974-78, said his political achievements had prompted some people to tell him he wasn't "a typical Mexican."
OPODAC DESCRIBED an encounter with a Hispanic voter during his campaign tour for President Jimmy Carter in 1976.
"To qualify in his judgment to be a Jewish Hispanic, you’ve got to be a failure if you are not from an Anglo counterpart. It came to me from a Mexican-American lawyer."
Many people told him a Mexican would never never become governor, he said.
"We'd been led to believe it was an
office we didn't have a right to obtain," he said. "We don't deserve to be number one in anything if we don't really believe we are entitled to it."
ADOPACA EXPRESSED his dissatisfaction with the Carter administration by relating a conversation he had with Carter last summer.
"It's a national disgrace that in 200 years we haven't had an Hispanic in the nation's Cabinet," he quoted Carter as saying in a 1976 campaign speech.
"I said, 'Mr. President, you've just added three years to that disgrace.'
Apodaca said he hadn't decided whether to support Carter or Kennedy in the primaries this year.
A GROWING HISPANIC voice in national politics should insure an Hispanic Cabinet member in next year's White House, he said.
"We spent the 86s competing with each other," he said. "Maybe we spent the '78s worrying about what we should be called."
Apodaca predicted that Hispanics probably would be the country's largest minority by the end of the 1890s.
In preparation for the next decade, Apodaca encouraged fellow Hispanics to strive for financial independence and to prove their potential as citizens.
"Show the people around us that we can perform and do a good job," he said.
"The opportunity to change the environment in our world, well, you just can't measure it."

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN On Campus
In Friday's meeting of the University Senate, the committee adopted an eligibility schedule for financial and was discussed. The schedule was submitted by the University Senate Committee on February 15.
The proposed schedule would require first semester freshmen to achieve a 1.0 grade point average for 12 credits of work in order to maintain eligibility for federal financial aid.
The original proposals were created in response to regulations requiring "reasonable academic progress" by students receiving federal financial aid.
The current standards for the University require a 1.2 grade point average for first semester freshmen but require a 1.5 grade point average only after nine semesters of work.
Students would also be required to
THESE PROPOSALS were made after earlier suggestions by the committee, proposing a minimum 1.25 grade point average from first semester freshmen and a maximum of 1.50 after four semesters, were rejected by the University Council as being too tingling.
achieve a 2.0 cumulative grade point average after 60 credits, or five semesters, of work in order to keep their eligibility.
Leban said he would try to find another setting for the hearing.
"It's not neutral ground," he said. "It's not proper to meet in the office of the chancellor's lawyer."
The hearing is scheduled to take place Friday morning in the University General Counsel's office, but Leban said yesterday that he told the Judiciary he would not meet
On March 3, Leban filed a petition with the University Judiciary alleging that Dykes violated his rights and the rights of all
University students, faculty and staff members in his handing of Norman Force and Clarence Dillingham during their December trip to Iran.
Carl Leban, associate professor of East Michigan State University, will locate a University hearing jury to determine whether his charges against Chancellor Archie R. Dykes may be on hold.
Hearing location objected
Forer, associate professor of social welfare, and Dillingham, instructor in education, spent several days during their trip. The two were part of a group making an unofficial attempt to help them.
The hearing was scheduled after Associate General Counsel Vickey Thomas filed a motion, on behalf of Dykes, to have the tribunal adjourn without Lebanah no standing to file them.
The motion said Leban had not personally been injured by the alleged rights violations by the chancellor, and therefore had no standing to file the charges.
