HALO plans activities to recognize Hispanics
By Holly M. Neuman
Kansan staff writer
Members of the KU Hispanic American Leadership Organization hope September will be the best month their organization has ever
For the first time, HALO will take part in National Hispanic Heritage month in September, and members hope the month will educate not only Hispanic and Latin American students but also the entire University of Kansas.
"We have contributed so much to this planet, as well as this University," she said.
Angela Cervantes, HALO president, said Hispanics deserved a month devoted to their heritage.
The group has scheduled a film festival, a Mexican folk dance, forums and speakers to celebrate "Adele's Songs of Hope" translates to "Going Out in 1990."
Jon Ramirez, HALO vice president, said, "I hope the events of the month make people aware that we are here on campus, that we are a part of the campus even though you don't see us very much."
Cervantes and Ramirez said the goal of the month was to recognize the Hispanic population and its contributions to the United States and KU. The University community is invited to all of HALO's seminars.
The month's activities will include an introductory speech by Esther Wolf, Kansas secretary of aging, at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union.
Special forums will be co-sponsored by KU Latin American Studies
"Brazil, the Culture and Country"
will be presented Sept. 6. "Central America, the Land and Its People"
will be presented Sept. 13. There also
is a forum on the drug problem in Latin America Sept. 18 and a forum on Mexico Sept. 20. The forums will begin at 4 p.m.
HALO will show three movies during the month.
"Zoot Suit" will be shown at 7 p.m. Sept. 18 in woodwould Auditorium. "Stand and Deliver" will be shown at 7 p.m. Sept. 19 in Alderson Auditorium. "The Milago Beanfield War" will be shown at 7 p.m. Sept. 20 in woodwould and at 4 p.m. Sept. 22 in Alderson.
On Sept. 21, a Mexican folk dance group will perform at 8 p.m. in the Kansas Union Ballroom. The event is free.
September was designated National Hispanic Heritage month by former President Reagan in 1986, the first time the HALO was formed, cerealies said.
Ramirez said HALO is an important organization because it gave Hispanic and Latin American students a chance to interact and learn about various cultures within the organization.
Cervantes said that the organization had about 65 members and that it was growing rapidly.
"We took a little while to get to know the system, but now we were ready. Cervantes said "This is a university. University is ready, HALO is ready."
Ramirez had HALO concentrated on making Hispanic and Latin American students more comfortable at KU. The organization also is attempting to educate high school minority students about the value of staying in school and going to college.
"We've taken HALO skits to high schools to show them how important it is to stay in school," he said.
