Chicano Group Alters Purpose
By RON WOMBLE Kansan Staff Writer
The Association of Mexican American Students (AMAS) has changed direction somewhat since the previous semester. The group had originally planned to spend much of its time and resources on campus education "for the purpose of building a community in Chicago culture."
"For a long time," Elizabeth Gutterrez, Kansas City. Mo. senior and AMAS treasurer said of the group's gungo on the University "think."
Now the group has recognized a need to locate Chicago high school them to finish high school and to enter schools of higher education. Gutzerer said that AMAS had received favorable reactions on Chicago students at two junior colleges.
One of the problems the group faces is locating Chicanos at KU and across the state. Gutterer questions students with Spanish surnames but these included Cubans, English numbers of foreign students. KU the group has been able to sort out the foreign students from the list of students with Spanish surnames or foreign students dean of foreign students office.
DURING THESE first few months AMAS members have been "going through the whole
LOCAL ORGANIZATION offers more to the Kansas Chicano than does the national organization, Guttererze. She said the national organization was dominated by urban areas, especially in California and the north and thus differed from those of the urban areas.
Profs to Speak on Drugs
Two University of Kansas faculty members will be participating in a drug abuse seminar in six Kansas cities next month.
Gutierrez defined a Chicano as someone with a “feeling for the people (Mexican-American) and the language (Spanish).”
The seminars are being Governor George's Commission on Criminal administration in cooperation with the KU Division of Continuing Education.

Gutierrez said that the Chicanos must make themselves "visible" on a local level before they can force an influential force nationally.
"They have their own community," she said, "but they are not visable, they are dispersed."
Together the men have edited "Drug Abuse Resource Manual," a book to be given to all guests at the seminars. Many facets of

Gutierrez has little hope that Mid-West Chicanos can make themselves a serious political force in the next year.
Gutierrez said she hoped that Chicanos could "get to the point where they won't feel they have been explained that after getting a college education a Chicano often feels obligated to help other less fortunate Chicanos, and they believe that means going into an agency.

The rental service branch of the audio-video center of the division of continuing education will move to a downtown building at 8th and Massachusetts streets. The library, the school, Breck Marion, assistant director of the audio-video center, said Tuesday.
KU Film Service to Move
Irvin E. Youngbuck, executive secretary of the Endowment Association, said on Wednesday that that office acquired the deed to the building from the First Bank of Lawrence on Jan. 8.
Granting the building to the University of Kansas had been discussed previously, Youngberg said.
The building was deemed most serviceable for the film rental service.
Beginning in 1911 with the distribution of glass-lanters and slides, the audio-video center has grown to include over 3,000
The rental service branch of the center has remained self-supporting since its inception, said Marion.
THE AUDIO-VISUAL center is composed of two separate branches that have shared software. He said, The film rental service, including 3,000 films, is available to any customer. The 500 film campus library is used only by members for class room situations.
The move will physically separate the two audio-visual services. Marion said. This will be carried out on-site and have been operated separately.
used by the rental service, its maintenance and repairs will be paid for by the University, Marion said. No remodeling is not planned, but if done it will cost the money made by the service.
The downtown building to be
MOST OF the film libraries of both the campus and rental services are now housed in a building on the campus, where a vault in the downtown building will house all the films of the campus in a three-room, fire-proof vault.
Marian said the building had not been occupied for two years and that some repairs would be made. The grounds division of the university has installed a new heating system and will be doing maintenance.
In the past, Marion said, those films not housed in the Bailey vault were subjected to humidity changes that did not occur in the vault during most of the year. Those changes that occurred were altered by a portable camera owned by the University.
When motion pictures were first produced in quantity for educational purposes, Marion Bissett created a projector for tours of the Kansas school systems. The films and projector were transported by train, which through southwest Kansau and southwest Kansas and back.
Originally, glass-lanters and slides were sent to Kansas school systems which could not afford to buy such equipment, he said.
The rental service was set up by an act of the Kansas Legislature in the 1910s. Marion also owns the only rental service in Kansas.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS of Kansas and some other states now provide the rental service with 85 per cent of its business.
Buying new films and replacing worn films and footages eats up most of the money made through the service. Marion said. About 200 new and updated films were bought last year.
"I would like to double, or "i would number the number of films owned by the rental service in the next 10 years," Marion said. Music vice depends on earned revenue, but he did not gress at a growth rate.
School systems across the country are now cutting their curriculums due to a tight money situation, he said. Business for the rental service will expand its services and have more money to spend.

AT LEAST two years are required to peak volume and begin making a profit on it, he said. A 30-minute film costs the rental center about $15 million.
Marion said. Clubs and civic groups make up most of the rest of the business done.
Customers also pay postage and insurance costs, he said.
Although most of the 3,000 films in the rental library were released by the university, productions at KU are unavailable elsewhere. Sports films, KU band day and a discussion of science fiction are included in this collection.
Most of the films owned by the rental service, he said are educational in nature. They range from pre-school to adult in age.
The service previews about 1,000 new films each year. Marion said. Many others are described in catalogues which the
