Latino comedians protest prejudice
Richard Montoya, Ricardo Salinas and Herbert Siquenza showed scenes from their situation comedy, Culture Clash, which aired on the Fox network in the 1995-96 season. The show was canceled because of American audiences did not accept a Latino theme, the group said.
At a show last night in the Lied Center, the comedy group Culture Clash criticized Hollywood's portrayal of Latinos.
The comedy trio said that viewers rejected the show for reasons that ranged from the program's political content to its use of Spanish.
"African Americans started to appear on TV more only after the '70s. For Latinos, I don't know when this is going to happen," Sallins said. "Especially for us who want to do a more risk-taking show, a comedy with a bit of a message."
The trio also talked about the negative portrayal of the few Latino characters on television. They said that Latinos in current shows often are cast as criminals or service-industry workers.
Culture Clash was the second event in the Lied Center's Culture Countdown season. Upcoming events:
CULTURE CLASH
Ballet Hispanico — Nov. 14
Triangulo — Jan. 24
Javier Pena, Cordoba, Argentina graduate student, attended the show. He said that the group wanted to be on television specifically to reach Americans.
"They want to show our culture and how different we are from the stereotypes that media show," he said.
Culture Clash came to Lawrence as part of the Lied Center's Countdown to the Millennium, which this year highlights Latino culture.
Today at noon, Culture Clash will talk to students and present some short sketches at the lobby in the Kansas Union.
This evening, the Hispanic American Leadership Organization and Culture Clash will share a potluck dinner in celebration of October as Hispanic Heritage Month.
"We don't go to universities just to do our performance and leave. This is the perfect example of what we like to do. We want to meet people and have discussions with them," Salinas said.
The last activity of the group's one-week stop in Lawrence will be the performance of "Radio Mambo — Culture Clash Invases Miami" at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Lied Center.
The play depicts stories taken from more than 60 interviews that the three members of the troupe conducted in Miami.
Tickets for tomorrow's show are available at University of Kansas box offices. KU-student tickets cost $12.50 and $10. Tickets range from $19 to $25 for the public.

Senate Finance Committee passes funds for First Nations
By Seth Jones
Kansan staff writer
The Student Senate Finance Committee members had to ask themselves last night if they wanted to see a large chunk of money go to the First Nations Student Association.
The association was asking for allocation of $7,160 for its pow-wow April 10. After a long debate, the committee gave the group a thumbs up. Joe Walberg, Finance Committee member, urged to see the number reduced to $5,800.
Walberg said that more than 2,000 students would have to show up to the event this year to make it worthwhile to give the group that much money. He said that last year 1,500 people showed up and it was debatable whether they were KU students.
Ray Pierotti, faculty adviser for FNSA, said he was not surprised by the lengthy committee debate.
"People always want to be heard, even if they don't have anything positive to contribute," he said. "Some of the people said we weren't well organized or well planned out, but we are one of the tightest and best organizations that is run on campus every year."
David Perico, Finance Committee member, said he was upset with the lack of details the group provided.
I'm not opposed to the bill as such, but it's irresponsible for them to come here without documentation of requests they have made for outside funding, no documentation on how much money was going into each area," he said. "We require more documentation from groups that ask for more than $500."
Dion Jones, Finance Committee member, supported the bill.
"One of our biggest problems is inconsistency," he said. "If we gave them the money last year, why in God's name shouldn't we give it to them this year?"
In University Affairs, a bill to allocate $207 to the KU chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union passed. The same bill failed in committee meetings two weeks ago after some committee members thought that the ACLU was a partisan organization. Senate rules and regulations state that funds cannot be used for partisan activities.
Aaron Profitt, vice chairman of the University Affairs Committee, spoke last night against funding the ACLU. He mentioned that on the ACLU's Web page there was a link that provided a scorecard, rating senators and congressmen.
"I'm not saying they're partisan by party," he said. "I'm just saying that they do hold an ideology that tends to line up with partisanship."
The bill passed after several speeches for and against the measure.
Alexis Stevens, executive director of the KU ACLU, thought there were two reasons for the difference in results.
"The whole issue involving campus politics wasn't brought up," she said. "And people were expressing their opinions in a much clearer way."
